  • I listen to a ton of podcasts because I'm a runner. I rarely review them because even a meh podcast can help me pass the time on long runs. I make an exception for this podcast because the hosts are so irritating that they destroy any possibility of enjoying the subject matter. The male host, especially rankles because he tries to do this awful British accent which is actually a bastardization of Northern England, Southern England, Irish and Australian accents. I download episodes before I head... more

  • It’s worth noting!

    I enjoy this podcast immensely. Adam and Christina handle heavy topics with the perfect balance of humour, and respect.

    Adam and Christina go out of their way to give victims of some very horrendous crimes, their humanity back.

    Well done.

  • Great stories… even better hosts

    I said to myself, “Self, it’s time to leave a review for these lovely humans.” So here we are. This is a really fun show with great hosts. I love mysteries and true crime, but sometime too much makes me feel a lil depressed. Listening to Adam & Christina is a bit of a breath of fresh air in a genre that can be so heavy. Much love for these two
