Gruesome: Horrific True Crime

I started this a few weeks ago and binged every episode the moment I started. This podcast makes you feel like you’re in a conversation with friends. Meg and Connie present each episode with compassion but also keep it real with outrage for injustice and some humor like you would find in a conversation with your bestie. I can’t say enough good things about this podcast. By the time I was done I was SO SO sad because how will I find another podcast to compare now? I am looking forward to future episodes! Keep up the good work ladies!

But I can’t listen to these people. I tried so hard but listening to 5 minutes of you going on and on about being a government employee is not fun.

I’ve listened to the podcast for a while and occasionally they will cover a case I haven’t heard which is what kept me coming back. Their research can be spotty and not always accurate which is an issue - they should be operating in facts. Today I was listening to the Jeffrey Dahmer Part 1 episode and during the long winded gripe session at the end about buying gifts a flippant political statement was thrown in. True crime podcasts are often a place people go to tune out the current nonsense. Not a good idea to potentially alienate a portion of your listeners that had made it through the episode. Just a thought.

I’ve tried several true crime podcasts and this is by far my favorite. Meg and Connie have such a funny sense of dry humor and I love listening to them. They know how to incorporate humor while remaining respectful and diligent about the cases they are describing. I cannot recommend them enough!! Also, the mark and John catfish stabbing episode is by far my favorite, I have listened to that one probably 10 times. Amazing work ladies!
