  • Fantastic podcast

    I don’t usually leave reviews, but felt that I should hop on here so that everybody can see that this is a great podcast and has great reviews. The small amount of banter that there is is adorable. I love each of their voices for different reason. His is so low and calming and hers is just spunky as hell! I love this podcast!

  • Love this show but…..

    I love this show and have been listening to it form the start but lately I have noticed that there are so many ads in each episode. Now I know that you can get add free but there are way to many gambling adds now and it’s really disappointing. But other than that keep up the good work Ben and Nicole I love the show and the cases you guys choose.

  • Addicted!

    So I’ve never wanted to listen to true crime before. The depravity of some humans isn’t something I wanted to know about. Ben and Nicole have sucked me in. We listened to some of these episodes on a camping trip and even my two oldest kids (23 and 20) are addicted. Thank you for the great story telling! And thank you for not focusing so hard on the bad guys and giving them their spotlight more than needed. I can’t wait to hear more!!

  • Love!

    As a Canadian explant living in the US and a fan of all true crime, this podcast ticks all the boxes. Meticulously documented case facts delivered with a little personality. Makes me miss my homeland! They even did a case from my hometown of Chatham, Ontario. Great listen, highly recommend.

  • STOP! A must listen

    I am a true crime queen. I listen to them all and by far Ben and Nicole are top notch! Not only do they do the stories justice they stay REAL to who they are. Too many podcast change over time to fit a “politically correct “ narrative, not these 2! It’s refreshing and feels like you’re hanging out with 2 of your best friends! STAY WICKED
