  • Such a great podcast

    I saw Bad Taste at Elgin Fringe. I really enjoyed the show. So I started listening. I love their show and the hosts. Great way to make a commute into work feel exciting.

    Who doesn’t want to listen to True Crime? Those are people I’m not sure I want to know.

    Please educate yourself on this case by reading The Guardian article about it.

    Also, Janelle’s ‘punk rock’ schtick has gotten really old. We get it already, and no one’s impressed. You also frequently sound smug and condescending, despite consistently getting facts and pronunciations wrong.

  • Oh no! I’ve binged them all!

    Thank you both for amazing stories and insight! I started listening maybe a month or so ago and just finished everything, now that I’m caught up I don’t know what to do… this is why I can’t have nice things.

    I can’t wait for more🖤
