Blew me away

Outstanding in every way. Loved listening to this show—best I’ve ever heard. Hysterical and engaging. Wish new seasons would never stop coming!!

Absolutely love it. Please continue to make more seasons

This show is so good. I love it. It’s a mix of comedy and mystery. It’s perfect. Everybody does such a good job. I hope they continue to make more!

***2/7/23*** I randomly check back to see if there’s any new episodes. I am so bummed there’s nothing. The dry humor mixed with the mystery was perfect. I’ve never laughed so much plus got pulled in from the storyline and I’ve listened to a lot of podcasts. PLEASE give us more. I’ve tried to google other series similar to this but nothing has come close.
