Customer Reviews
Awesome podcast!
Love the ladies of Macabre! I found this podcast just a few weeks ago, binged every episode of season 1 and can’t wait for season 2! Take a listen, you won’t be disappointed!
I would give 10 stars if I could!
Absolutely positively the most amazing podcast I’ve ever listened to! I was hooked right from the start, I stumbled upon the bedlum episode and the rest was history. I absolutely cannot get enough! This is the best executed podcast, every single story and historical accounts are told with a great deal of depth and emotion, it’s as if I was taken back in time to witness these events first hand. Thank you ladies of macabre!
Amazing!!
I absolutely LOVE this podcast!! I had been looking for a new podcast as my regulars had been “meh” lately. I found Macabre and feel excited to listen again! The girls do such a great job with research and have the perfect amount of entertaining banter. Laid back but informative. Just all around a great time! My only complaint is that I want MORE MACABRE!!
