NEW FAV!!
This is definitely my new favorite podcast. I am so happy to have found it! Reminds me a lot of Morbid with the witty banter with good research! Would love it if you guys did the Steven Stayner case I would love to see your take on it! Love you guys, keep doing this 🩷
Favorite True Crime Podcast!
Allie and Abby do a great job of covering cases I love and cases I’ve never heard. I trust their research and their take on cases because of their education and sources! I also love that they can add some respectful levity to some of the most heart wrenching crimes I’ve ever heard! More pleaseeeee!!!
Love!
The time and effort put into these episodes and cases is so obvious and deserves more attention! It’s really hard to find a podcast with hosts educated in the field that aren’t just spouting off opinions and unchecked facts. It’s such a relief to listen to a podcast where the stories were well researched ahead of time. Their sense of humor is also perfect and appropriate. Thanks Allie and Abby!
