Morning Cup of Murder

I have been listening to MCOM for 7 years now and I’ll never get tired of it. I look forward to every morning making tea, sitting on my balcony, settling in and listening to that day’s true crime story. If there’s a morning that I cannot do my routine, I feel off. I especially appreciate that the word fumbles are kept in, makes the host relatable. ❤️

Good podcast but ridiculous amount of ads. Let's say the average episode is around 10 minutes long. There are usually at least 3-4 minutes of ads at the beginning and sometimes even an ad at the end too. Here is an example- the episode from 1/22/2026 is 10 minutes long and has 4 minutes of ads at the beginning. That's 40% of the episode. That's ridiculous. *Also, writer/author frequently gets dates wrong. One example (out of many), in the episode 'The curious death of a children's author,' from 7/15/2023, she states that the author was born in 1964 but then a bit later she says that she married her husband in 1966- obviously that's not right since she was not 2 years old when she got a job after college and got married. She probably meant 1996, but, come on. (It's not just this one episode either, it's quite a few.)

I’ve been listening to this podcast for 5 years I think now every morning as I have my coffee. It’s one of my favorite podcasts.

I like that this podcast is quick and to the point but a 7 minute episode is 3 minutes of content and 4 minutes of ads!?! That seems excessive to me.
