Absolutely love this show HOWEVER I really, truly wish that they would adjust their volume settings on the Intro & Outro music (especially the outro!) because it’s so jarringly loud compared to the rest of the show. I haaaate when I’m listening to the podcast and I’m slightly away from my phone or I’m in the shower and the episode ends and the outro music comes screeching out of the speaker 😭 otherwise, these guys seem great, I think they tell the stories well, and they have a nice, calm demeanor that doesn’t feel icky or that they’re using the stories for shock value, etc. (also just wanna say, I’ve ALSO never had lobster before in my life Aaron. currently listening to that bit as I type this)

I’ve been listening to this show for 10 years now. The fact that I still listen is a testament to how good it is. As far as true crime goes, I have probably listened to them all but not all of them stick!
Sabia f. · Sep 2026
I been listening to generational why since 2019 and although life can be constantly changing, the theme song and the Justin and Arron voice remain calm and steady. The show has always capture my attention and provided an intriguing case with extended background both on trial or society takes at the time, very different to other true crime podcasts/shows.

Hands down the best. They cover a wide variety of cases but have a focus on justice. Because of this, I think about their shows a lot and that is my criterion for what I think is good. Do I keep thinking about it. With this show I do and I hope I remember the lessons so I can be a better citizen. And they do it all with no time wasting. Excellent!
