  • True Crime, Chill and a Corn Named Russ 💛🌽🍺

    Been listening since 2020, and I truly don’t think I would’ve made it through my divorce without blocking my thoughts with Podcasts - and you two were a huge part of that! Jess and Russ got me through one of the hardest seasons of my life by making me laugh when I really needed it.

    I finally made a contribution to Russ’ beer fund (you’re welcome, Russ! even though you are, respectfully, a bit of a corn 🤪🌽). Jess deserves endless hype for being the most patient human alive and putting up with ... more

  • It took me too long to figure out how to review on apple

    After being a fan of WOC for years, I finally became a patron member lol I thought since I family joined the crime family, I would also review on apple (Spotify is where I usually listen) and it took me a solid 10 minutes trying to figure out where to go to review 🤦‍♀️ all that being said, I love WOC and enjoy listening to Jess tell the stories while Russ comments. It’s truly the best way to listen to true crime. Thank you Jess and Russ for putting out the masterpieces you gift to us listeners!... more

  • Vote for Russ

    If you want a podcast that makes your husband tell you “shhhh I’m listening to the podcast” look no further. Nice way to convince your spouse to let you binge great true crime on road trips. Thanks Russ for giving my husband a reason to tell me to shut up. 🤣

  • Long in the tooth

    Came for Jess, stayed for RUSS! Jess is the best and Russ ain’t no corn. The banter keeps me laughing but Russ, I nearly died laughing when you said “long in the tooth!” I’ve heard it all my life but generally referring to a person my Dad was telling a story about. Why not long in the teeth though? Anyone with a sense of humor would enjoy your podcast, everyone should listen!#Russforpresident but we know Jess is the brains behind the operation so really who would be in charge? Loving WOC in ... more
