  • Awesome Podcast

    Wanted to just say for people reading the reviews that even though it says it’s a true crime comedy podcast- it’s really not. The shortcides are more comedy driven but the weekly cases are very serious and respectful. I love that y’all keep intros short and save all the ad libbing until the end! It’s nice to not have to skip forward 10 minutes to get to the case. I also Love the shortcides…and the interviews….and both of y’all too! Keep up the good work!

    This is one of those rare true crime podcasts that immediately grabs you and doesn’t let go. Each episode is well researched, yet respectful and engaging. What really sets it apart is the balance: it’s interesting without the awful crimes being sensationalized and I love the balanced perspectives the hosts bring to the table.

    I also LOVE the interviews-it adds so much education that you didn’t know you needed.
