Customer Reviews
Oh brother
Even after a guilty verdict, the show tries to prove there is a good case for appeal. He’s guilty and has been convicted yet the show plays bias clips. Ridiculous
Please don’t go there
I’m just going to ask politely that you do not dig up the Larry Gene Bell case. It’s not worth the pain and heartache you will inflict on the families of the victims. It’s in the past so please leave it there out of respect . Your ratings are not more important than their peace of mind.
Respectfully

Day One Listener
I absolutely LOVE this podcast and look forward to every new episode. I have listened to several Murdaugh podcasts; this is the ONLY one that presents both sides without making either side feel defensive or challenged. I love their banter and their presentation style. Both Seton and Matt seem like someone you’d love to have a coffee with and that makes their episodes enjoyable. They are honest and vulnerable which is refreshing in this super-polished, fake, media-driven world. Keep up the good work and I’ll keep listening and recommending you!
