I’m a long LONG time listener, and I’m so late giving a review. The concept of the Paranormal and True Crime is on the face a strange one but Em and Christine execute it brilliantly. It’s entirely because they have a great deal of respect for the subjects. You can tell they research. But it isn’t dry, their banter is the light needed during dark subjects. And it gets better with each listening. My only complaint is come to Australia!!!
This will be too long

I love you. I found you a couple years back I but life happened, and I’m in the position to binge from the start. Just listening to the episode in which you comment on the negative feedback you’ve had regarding mass shootings. I’m in Australia and also went to the movies not long after a big one and was worried throughout it that we would be killed. I’ll love to see you live and visit and spend all my money in Salem but I am NOT going to the US, cause I just assume I’ll be shot. I know it’s crazy media hype, but how the hell are people still living there?! I’d be terrified. Anyways, you two are amazing, as is Eva, and the furbabes, the partners and…is Lemon still going strong??? 170000 stars if I could (and it was the highest rating) Thank you!
Em gave me the gift of Gef talking mongoose!

I came across your podcast after listening to “morbid”. You both always make me laugh along with you with your jokes and how you two just get each other. If you ever come to Australia for a live show I will 100% be there!
