  • Obsessed!

    I LOVE this podcast! I love true crime and criminology so this is right up my alley. Amy and Meghan’s educational factor they bring is what makes this podcast different from other true crime podcasts. Also, as a Southerner, I LOVE listening to their northern accents, especially Amy’s!

  • Do they like each other?

    I really enjoy the content of tgis podcast and true crime in general. The format is excellent, and they do a fantastic job of explaining the stories plus, they clearly know what they’re talking about! My only gripe the way the treat each other…when Megan is hosting her episodes, she’s constantly interrupted by Amy. Amy jumps in with questions while Megan is telling the story, even though Megan is often just moments away from answering. It feels like she tries to spoil the story by jumping ahead.... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

W&C Reconsidered: Debra McNeal
Q: What is the ratio of serial killers that have childhood trauma versus those that have normal childhoods?
The percentage is extremely high, like up in the 90 percent or higher of serial killers who have experienced childhood trauma, usually serious trauma such as abuse.
W&C Reconsidered: Ellen Rae Greenberg
Q: How does a child's brain develop differently when they witness violence or go through traumatic events?
Trauma in early childhood can disrupt an individual's attachment and lead to cognitive delays, impaired emotional regulation, and potentially a greater risk for future violence.
W&C Reconsidered: Ellen Rae Greenberg
Q: What are some of your favorite podcasts to listen to, true crime related or not?
One of my favorite true crime podcasts is Shattered Souls by Karen Smith, she talks about her cases and gives her victims real dignity.
W&C Reconsidered: Ellen Rae Greenberg
Q: What case do you think the media has most hijacked in regards to the narrative, as in, the guilt was 100 percent established before the defendant ever had a day in court?
One that comes to my mind is the Jennifer Levin murder in Central Park in 1989 by Robert Chambers. The media went to great lengths to establish him as a young, handsome gentleman who would never have done anything harmful and to establish her as kind of a loose girl.
W&C Reconsidered: Beverly Gail Allitt
Q: What do you think about the difference in treatment between Beverly Allitt and Lucy Letby?
They both had serious mental health issues but were treated differently in the court system, with Allitt receiving civil commitment while Letby faced criminal charges.
