True Crime Obsessed

I adore this podcast but it’s getting downright difficult to listen to because of Patrick. It would be swell if Patrick would let Gillian get a full thought out before responding. But even more so it would be chill if he would stop doing that thing where he goes, “yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah, uh huh uh huh…” we get it, he is not listening to a word she is saying, he is just waiting for her to finish so he can hear himself talk some more…or laugh like a hyena. I used to like him, but honestly he has just gotten more obnoxious as the years pass. Gillian is amazing but Patrick is….questionable at best.

I am not a person who has the time or mental capacity to watch true crime shows or documentaries, so having Gillian and Patrick recap these docs has been a fun adventure. I am able to experience these stories in a way that’s not too disturbing and is overlayed by hilarious and thoughtful commentary, and infectious laughter, which makes is easier to digest some truly awful stories. I love it. I’ve been binging the episodes, starting from the beginning, on my morning walks and recommending it to all of my podcast curious friends. Keep it up, girls! And thanks for your hard work.

I adore Gillian and Patrick—I obviously don’t know them personally, but I feel like I do because I am CONSTANTLY listening to them, learning from them, and laughing because of their hilarious banter. I do not like listening to podcasts about violent crimes or assaults, so I intentionally listen to their episodes on things like celebrity drama, art forgery, sports fiascos, bank robberies, collectibles gone wild, etc., and they have plenty of these available for people like me. I have listened to some of their coverage of high-profile murder cases so I can learn what happened, and I so appreciate that they are sensitive about their coverage and do not provide gratuitous descriptions of violence. While their episodes are always funny, they are also very sensitive to the victims and survivors. I am so glad I stumbled upon their podcast and I have told all my friends about them. Thank you Gillian and Patrick for being the wonderful, fun, vulnerable, intelligent you!

Funny, makes my life a little better. I dont get the vitriol directed towards this on some of the reviews. I found this podcast recently, Gillian’s impressions have made me laugh out loud, it’s niche for a niche- if you don’t like it that’s cool, just chill. If they did something terrible and I’m unaware,apologies. But to me binging like 8+ years of shows in the last few months it’s brought me great joy- I recommend it to anyone who loves true crime shows and docs and doesn’t hate screaming
