What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Ladies, ya make me laugh, ya make me cry and often times I’m disgusted, but there’s one thing I never am and that’s disappointed. This podcast keeps me company while I work fairly autonomously and makes me want to make a coffee and get under a blanket. Keep up the f bombs and spooky tales.

More Morbid · Sep 2026

Ash and Alaina have both grown SO much as hosts, storytellers, and human beings in general (and who doesn’t want that?!). I enjoy the freewheeling style of their older episodes, but also really appreciate how they have refined their delivery and paid more attention to nuance over the years. They are real ones who care about their craft as well as about the victims who are at the center of the stories. Also love that they stand up for the marginalized. Thanks, you two 🥰

swan0716 · Sep 2026

Update 9/7/26- still a huge fan LOL. Been listening since 2019! I used to podcast way back when podcasts were new (😂) but I rarely listened to them. I’ve tried different ones and honestly, I would get halfway through the first episode and stop. I’ve listened to 3 episodes in 2 days. I’m starting from the beginning and I’m really loving how the ladies cover each case; not only do they add in their own thoughts and emotions, but they also have a relaxed attitude that doesn’t feel like I’m listening to Forensic Files reruns. I’ve also scrolled through and noticed they cover a few cases that are close to me (I was the same age as Jonbenet, and my mom closely followed the case and drew her own conclusions) so I’m interested to hear their theories. UPDATE: CONGRATULATIONS, DREW!

Zelda3333 · Sep 2026

I’ve listened since 2021. These two grew on me and I love their research. This is by far my favorite podcast and I am a very far right conservative. Listen, I don’t always agree with these sassy opinionated weirdos. Sometimes I love the banter and sometimes I don’t 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’m not sure though why there are always complaints! If I don’t like what they’re saying, I skip forward 15-30 seconds. If I don’t want the fun talk that day, I skip to the case. They can talk to those who want to hear it. If I hate listener tales (I love them but get some people don’t) I skip that episode and mark it as played. I just don’t understand why people try to dictate what they should say, how to say it, how long to say it and if they should say it. So many love their banter and need it. Let those people have it and skip forward. Let everyone have what they like even if you don’t like it. I think these ladies do an excellent job covering all the bases of what people like. This way, no one is left out and we all get to decide what to listen to. I’m not sure the purpose of complaining to them about the part you don’t like but others do. What do you want them to do about it? Yes, they are liberal. They honestly don’t go all out on this on a daily. They know some won’t like it and I can tell they do try to keep those things minimal. They’re not perfect by any stretch so give them a break. I just blow it off or skip ahead. These ladies are awesome. Keep doing all the things despite the comments 😊

MsKissmyaxe · Sep 2026

What happened to nice one and done episodes? I keep looking for new content and you either have guests, who don't add much, or there are 2 or 3 parters. And, don't get me wrong, you guys were so good. To anyone feeling the same, I would recommend the Redhanded podcast or Serialously where they have the banter you want but you can listen to one fully fleshed out episode in one sitting.

5280T · Nov 2024

I respect the hosts’ dedication to their listeners and hard work over the years. I used to appreciate the banter that you had….like two or three years ago. Now I have to fast forward through almost 10 minutes worth of self advertising, uninteresting conversation and constant disclaimers and trigger warnings. And, during the actual real crime telling, there seems to be even more unnecessary banter than actual story telling. I’m maybe one episode away from unsubscribing. Please do better!
