Love the show, hate the mouth sounds

I really enjoy this show so far, starting from season 1. I enjoy the comic relief and the whole premise. But I am REALLY struggling with the mouth sounds and swallows when one of the radio hosts. It makes it listening very difficult for someone with misophonia. Hope it improves with the seasons.

Great Crime Podcast Parody

Really enjoy this parody of the usual crime podcast show. I like the banter between to Bea and Brenda it reminds me of old screwball comedies. While it is a parody the crime they are investigating does have me intrigued so it work on the mystery level as well as the comedy level.

love it

great show, anxiously awaiting season 2 ep 12’s re-release… 😬
