Highly Recommend

I’m new to this incredibly entertaining and informative podcast! I’m enjoying listening to this brilliant podcast which showcases domestic and international crimes and events which are centered on many cases involving members of the African diaspora. I was largely unaware of many of these cases and I appreciate the analysis and explanation of these stories and incidents. Looking forward to listening to what’s to come!

Very Good

Lots of info, good patter, some insights, and saying what those of us listening are probably thinking! Two women I’d have a lot of fun hanging with, so I am now doing so, in a way.

Added: I have gotten to really love these ladies. I enjoy the extra information on the area, the people, and the acknowledgment of the victims/survivors. I love learning, and anyone who doesn’t like that aspect can just go forward a bit to get to the meat of the stories.💜

Love you guys!

I love this podcast and you guys! I love how you always include the history of the area or people. You guys are so funny and I love your friendship.
