    Found this pod after I watched There’s Something Wrong with Aunt Diane about a decade late. Their recap was from about 2017 and I loved it! I’m so glad they’re still going!! Currently listening to the Abducted in Plain Sight episode from 2018 lol it holds up!

  • Bring back the old TCO

    TCO is one of my favorite podcasts. With a respectfully comedic outlook on true crime cases, they are a breath of fresh air. Worth a listen. Don’t listen if you don’t like to laugh. 😜

    Was my old review

    New one: this used to be one of my favorite podcasts. Now it feels like we just have to listen to Patrick plug his book, talk about bee Arthur, and interrupt Gillian. I find it interesting that previous podcast hosts were not allowed to discuss other projects , but he brings up his book every ... more

  • Going too woke

    Enjoy the stories and the way they’re told. However, do we have to bring up “gay” every minute? We get it, move on. Also, stay out of politics and religion. It shows your ignorance and brainwashing.

  • No more Oprah suggestion

    Please stop pushing Oprah. I love your podcast but Oprah. If I was interested I would find it myself. Yes I can skip and mark as played but it’s a hassle and irritating.

  • BEST True Crime Podcast!

    This podcast is so well done! The hosts are hilarious and relatable and so very easy to listen to.

    They are incredibly victim- centered and the humor never takes away from the suffering of those who have been harmed.

    I only wish they could crank out more episodes because I listen to them as fast as they come out.
