Ali Segel and Melissa Stetten discuss pop culture, TV, viral stories, unsolved mysteries, creepy cults, scammers, and everything unsettling in between. “They maintain a loose, upbeat dynamic as they fall down rabbit holes, which means listeners can comfortably dip their toes into the deeply unsettling and unexplained, but won’t walk away feeling, well, haunted.” (Vanity Fair, 2020)

What listeners say
A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.
I used to love this podcast, it would be a fun part of my mornings but I haven’t listened in months. All their true crime episodes (which I originally subscribed for) are on Patreon which I feel icky about. It’s someone’s death, last final moments and it’s hidden behind a pay wall. All the free content is random news and 90 Day Fiancé which I don’t watch and I’m sure a percentage of listeners don’t either.
I’ll miss this podcast but listening doesn’t bring me enjoyment anymore.

Webcrawlers podcast is my happy place. If you think you’re weird, listen to this podcast for a while and you’ll start to realize how normal you really are. In the best way possible. Mail bag episodes are so funny. I love all of the content, I love the Patreon, love all the weird and wonderful stories, the hosts and all of the crazy mail and voicemails they get. If don’t like it, move on but don’t leave a bad review. The girls deserve five stars all the way. Love you craaaaazy bimbos!!!!! Boiiiiinnniinnnnngggg.

Sorry it’s taken me so long! This has been my #1 podcast since I started listening in May. It’s taken me forever to catch up on all the episodes. These bimbos make me laugh out loud! I had to join the Patreon so I could listen more. Love the news, love the mailbag, love the true crime. I even love the 90 Day recraps (secret: I haven’t seen a single episode.) Keep up the great work! Lalala!

I can’t take it anymore. I finally joined the Patreon. I was trying to catch up first bc I’m one of those people, but it’s now Oct 2023 and I’m only now just starting 2022. I love, love, love this pod. I found it through What’s Up Weirdo and so happy I did. I love all 3 of you, but Ali is my soul mate. And her laugh is so genuine. I love it! Thanks for doing what y’all do and keep on creepin’ on. 🖤

OG fan of the pod and longtime Patreon sub. It used to be the highlight of my week and topics were always engaging. Now the bulk of the episodes are spent on ad reads, shoutouts, begging for Patreon subs, and listening to voicemails. When an actual topic is covered it feels extremely phoned in. I’d never expect a particularly well researched episode from these guys, but at the very least they were fun to listen to and felt fleshed out. Honestly the way the pod has been running for the last year or so really feels like a slap in the face. Pod does not seem to care about listeners anymore (particularly if they don’t sub to the Patreon) and it’s been really sad to see what this pod started as and what it is now.

I used to love this show so so much for all of the true crime and strange topic episodes. Now they are only on patreon???! The free episodes are completely different content. I tried giving the 90 day eps a try, but that’s not what I followed for. Im sadly unsubscribing today😭
