Less chit-chat, please.
You guys have great information, but the delivery is what doesn't have your rate for the podcast above a 4.5. You should really should rethink your style because you got the research to turn this into an amazing podcast. You need to chat less and leave out some info that doesn't add to the story. I understand that you want to be informative, but that's not what wide audiences are after. I appreciated your episode on Ernesto Chavéz.

Wonderful and amazing podcast
My first episode I watched was the Lester street murder. It was explained well I also figured out who did very quickly because when they were interviewing JR. He had a smirk on his face and I said he did it

Not to the point
Sad that it took 30 mins of skipping to finally get to the actual story

Would’ve been good
They talk too much about other issues and don’t start the show. One had an annoying voice like she’s talking through her nose. Good content just too much other stuff going on about race and about their personal lives. Please don’t follow this show. You’ll spend 10-20 mins hearing about how their week went.

No thank you
I couldn’t even get into the story I wanted to hear about. I don’t care what the origin of the words gang or cholo are. The hosts are obnoxious to listen to.

Perfectly blended
This cast is one of my favorites. They have blended regional history, true crime, and humor all in one place! Wendy and Beth(shout out to Beths sis) understand the importance of sharing these stories in an educational way and don’t let negative Nancys disrupt that. Great job ladies.

I like
I just started this podcast after binging my favorite black true crime podcasts and I like it a lot so far. Leaving a review because I don’t appreciate the bigots in the reviews writing bad reviews because they’re wrong about everything. *insert eye roll* Keep doing what you’re doing ladies!

Absolutely love y’all
I love this podcast. I have to take long drives to go pick up my daughter from school and oh my goodness I love the banter and I also love your suggestions for different podcast absolutely spot on. You have me screaming back at my radio!!! People have been looking at me like I’m insane when I’m pulled up to a light and I have to yell at them to check out the podcast. Keep up the great work.
Personel Touch
Wait WHAT?!
I tune in to listen to you guys and need up listening to two white Millennials. Giiirrl, you are wrong for that. My ears are agitated. Still love yall

“Unalive” is not a word
This podcast is ok. But the self-censoring ruins their credibility and makes them seem dumber then they probably are.

Heaping Pile of Bias
I gave it a 40 episode chance. Wendy is insufferable. Also the interview with Dellmus Colvin was terrible. They were giddy and the tone was insensitive to the victims of Colvin. You can be professional without pandering.

Racist much?
These hosts are so hung up on skin color. I’ve never heard such blatant discrimination on any podcast. Just found them and already making a quick exit.

True crime and racism
If you love the race hustle narrative as a basis of everything- this podcast is for you.

*yawn*
Clearly, someone has been listening to too much My Favorite Murder thinking that format is desirable. Too much chit chat before the actual information is presented. You may be friends and get along/have fun hanging out or whatever, but not everyone wants to sit for 15 mins listening to random information that doesn’t pertain to your topic.

Thank you for being amazing
I love the historical context and culture corners. These stories can be heavy and I appreciate all the hard work. Big thanks to Wendy, Beth and the entire team that makes this show possible!

Disappointing jokes at victims expense
I really tried to like this podcast but maybe I’m not desensitized enough to jokes about some of the cases they go over? When the ladies laugh after talking about a child getting murdered it’s not humorous. They do have some funny moments but the delivery time is horrible and to me comes across as not giving a f about the victim. I do like the dynamic between the hosts and how they bounce off each other when sharing information.

Love the sho
These reviews are just crazy. You can tell as a world we love to be combative. This show has to be long and a little drawn out to explain. I love the fact that people go out of the way just to down a person. Go and listen to you conservative podcasts. Keep up the good work ladies!
Bignose15
Just start already
Very obnoxious and takes tooooo long to start and get into the story Lord! I was so annoyed
BmLady23
Eesh.
Excited to find a new true crime podcast but couldn’t get further than 20 mins including ads… the one host is so obnoxious- it completely takes away from the story. Disappointing.
nikkinickky
I love these gals.
I’ve been listening to this podcast for a few years now and Wendy and Beth do not disappoint. I love telling my friends about this podcast. I love the musical tributes to listeners. The culture corner portion of the podcast is quite underrated and I’ve always appreciated that acknowledgment in their shows. ❤️ I feel like cultures of victims and perpetrators alike are often understated in the true crime world. Anyway, I appreciate these ladies and have spent many hours on road trips with their episodes and many hours just gaming and giggling with them. It’s been wonderful to see this podcast grow.

YUCK!
Literally the WORST podcast I’ve ever listened to…I wanted to rip my ears off forever 🙊

Not for racists and race-sensitive losers
LOVE this podcast. The history/context that WendynBeth use to set the scene is top-tier storytelling. Episodes often touch upon how the history of racism and racists policies in America may have influenced the killer/victim. If this isn't your cup of tea, go listen to the 6 million other crime pods that cover ad nauseum the same 10 infamous American serial killers. Me, I LOVE FruitLoops and WendynBeth are two of the best in the biz!

Came for billy chimermer episode
I love true crime podcasts and have been listening to them for years so I love finding new ones! But I could not get past the racist comments about white people :/ if it was just one comment I would of been fine but it was multiple in a couple minutes within a few minutes so I felt I wasn’t welcome in this particular podcast community.

I love you two 😎
I just listened to the latest podcast and it was great! Thanks your great together.

Thanks for helping me do the work (as a white person)
A spin on true crime that’s teaching me *so* much about the racist history of crime reporting, as well as all kinds of things about segregation, red lining, etc. that I never learned in school. I especially appreciate the love and light portion right at the beginning, this is the first true crime podcast I’ve listened to that puts the victims first like that.

Love this podcast
I’m addict to true crime and this is one of my favorites because of the hosts. It’s a great podcast.

i love this podcast
it truly feels like i’m sitting down talking with friends while i’m listening, i love the focus on the history and the victims
Gianella Nicole Marquez
really wanted to like it
I tried to get through an episode because i love true crime podcasts and have heard great things but i felt like i had to continue fast forwarding through to get to the story. The beginning banger was too much, a little i get and enjoy but we don’t need a 15 minute intro, and the extensive history lessons before even getting to the story. I got to work before i even heard about the actual story of the killers. I think you should reserve that stuff for your Patreon members- people that genuinely enjoy it because I’m sure there are people who do, but many who do not. Wanted to like it but won’t be listening again

I Can’t Stop Listening
Ladies!!! I can’t stop listening and laughing with you! Omg! I really love the podcast. So informative and funny. I am so glad I found you on Apple Podcast!!! Keep up the good work!!!

American hating racist
I really wanted to listen to this podcast about lesser know true crime. Unfortunately, it’s all about how racist and horrible America is.

Entertaining and informative.
I really appreciate this podcast. It’s one of a kind and Wendy is super funny and silly. I love the levity paired with the seriousness of true crime. Some other reviews really missed the point. There is no specifically ‘white’ podcast because we live in a racist society that marginalizes people who aren’t white. I don’t know why that is so hard to understand. How will we ever heal and have a more conscious and healthy society if we don’t even acknowledge that racism exists? I am white and need to do better. This podcast is a healthy and humorous reminder to stay informed of our true history and be inclusive and real in all facets of media. Thanks, ladies! I appreciate you.

Song remixes
I just started listening, because ive been looking for a podcast similar to the ones I already listen to. I love listening, feels like I’m listening to my friend and I talking. Also, I love the remixing songs, it’s something that I do on a regular basis, and it drives people crazy. I found my people. 🖤❤️🖤❤️I hope I continue to enjoy listening

Review
I am a true crime junkie and I saw this and was intrigued by the podcast title. Unfortunately the lack of accuracy and the attempt to make everything around the topic of race was a turn off.

Great podcast

Great Great Great
Thank you ladies for a new and fresh take on true crime. I’m so glad I discovered this podcast. Love the banter and interaction between you two. I’m definitely a dedicated listener. Congratulations on a HIT! Be blessed and as always BE SAFE OUT THERE😉

Love y’all’s podcast. Just started listening when I saw y’all on the top podcast for Apple list. What’s up with the juice review lol. Is that person ok?
realbaddonkey
Great show- no notes
Love this show and appreciate their perspectives and storytelling. I’m an adult so I don’t trash shows with low reviews the second I might have contrary opinions… I just stop listening. Lol. That being said, I rarely leave reviews but these ladies are always a great pod. Canceling out the haters with too much time on their hands. Love you both and wish you nothing but the best!

Love this podcast so much
Love listening to these gals! So happy I found you!

Enough of the race division!
Blacks make up 12% of the US population yet they make up a considerably larger percentage of the prison population. You would think with all of the affirmative action benefits they receive that other race groups do not that there would be less crime in this community yet most is black on black crime. There shouldn’t be a podcast specifically about a particular race – – I can see these ladies pitching a fit, if we have a white centric podcast or a Latino centric podcast. Why further separate people, don’t you think this country is divided enough??

How does haterade taste?
These ladies take such care and concern in their research and topics, and ask to be pardoned if they make a mistake in either dates or pronunciations. It’s fine if not your cup of tea, but calling them insensitive or not taking these case’s seriously is straight up lies. I’ve been following this podcast since the beginning, humble beginnings to the podcast they are now and I couldn’t be more proud of Wendy and Beth. I love you both, ladies. -Marlene

Cringe
The awful singing and crackhead voices makes me very uncomfortable. Is your target audience a kindergarten class? Genuinely curious.
Courtney Carcrashian
The most insensitive true crime podcast
I listened to two episodes, and that’s because I forced myself to get past at least one to see if maybe it’s just a bad episode I started with. These ladies should start a comedy podcast and leave true crime behind because they treat this as if it was a comedy podcast. I get and liked the concept behind it, bringing awareness to victims that are not white therefore not covered as much in the media. Although it was really weird they stated they also want to bring awareness to non white serial killers, I don’t think serial killers of any kind need awareness or anymore attention than they already get. Not something to be proud of or that you want representation by. The episodes start off horrible, with shout outs, sound effects, horrible singing as if they’re on a radio show just playing songs. This is a true crime podcast, with victims that you’re speaking of. These theatrics are so insensitive and just crude. I thought maybe it might be the intro, where they want to get any giggles they may have out of the way, but no it gets worse throughout the episode. I’ve listened to quite a few true crime podcast and YouTube videos so I may just be used to a certain standard. The way they talk about the victims I found was completely brushed through like they just wanted to get it over with, whereas when it came to their killer, they literally introduced them by singing their name as if they’re naming the next person in a singing competition. This person murdered people. They don’t need a cute introduction. Several times throughout the recounting of events, they would crack jokes, and burst out laughing, terribly out of touch with the subject they are speaking on. I understand wanting to be a bit light hearted to balance out the terrible things you’re speaking on, but to come to a complete knee slapping laugh after you just talked about how somebody’s body was found or how they died?? Completely unacceptable. I would hate for these ladies to talk about any loved ones that I may have that may have met an unfortunate fate. If I was the family of any of these victims they speak of I would honestly seek legal cease and desist from the way they glorify the killers and make jokes about the victims. Just a disgusting excuse of a true crime podcast.

Fascinating and interesting!
Not gonna lie I was unsure if I would come back after the first one, but it grew on it me. It’s like when you watching a Tv show for the first time, the first episode may not be the best, but if you keep watching it gets better. I love the humor, chemistry and the amount of knowledge that is shared in each podcast. Forget the haters! Keep it up!

Loved by a feminist of color
The historical background provides crucial context to how marginalized victims & perpetrators are effected by systems of oppression. I learn so much from this show & love the energy!
