One of my favorites!
I truly enjoy the fact that Emily covers not only US cases, but cases abroad. A lot of True Crime podcasts cover the same cases over and over, each with a different spin. But I’ve learned about cases that I’d never heard of before. In addition, I’ve found it to be very respectful that Emily adds the picture of the victim(s) as the tile for the episode. Many podcasters use only their main podcast name as the tile for every episode. Adding their picture, to me, shows respect and care for each victim. Making each episode personal with a face to put to the case immediately without having to dig. Thank you for that. And thank you for sharing their lives with us in such a touching way. I appreciate it.

I like this true crime podcast because she states facts. She’s not over embellishing with her thoughts, dragging the podcast on.

Is this an AI thing? It’s not a real person reading it? I couldn’t get through 5 seconds.

Really like this podcast.
I really like this podcast! There’s so many crappy podcasts out there. This is one of the few that I actually listen to, and I like both the cases and the storytelling. I enjoy the fact that many of the stories are creepy and thought-provoking. Definitely one of my top five and worth a listen without a doubt.

Love the accent
Top 5 true crime podcasts with great writing and one of the most professionally produced That being said there are some lengthy pauses at random times that I find kinda humorous!

Well done

Shows is great!
Every time I hear the intro music it sounds like a 1980s p0rn soundtrack like the kind that you would get in one of the motels on airline highway (where often the old-school TV preachers used to “hang out”).
Nullity
No no no
Please, no more. Make it stop! The mechanical story teller is so bad… bring in a real human… thank you

Great writing and reportage
I know Emily contributes to They Walk Among Us and she is a great writer and prolific storyteller. I know she’s from Northern Ireland and I’m familiar with the accent, but there’s something off about her cadence and the rhythmic pauses in her narration that go beyond a lilt and simply become singsong and frankly annoying. I keep listening from time to time but can’t subscribe as I would not be able to listen regularly. I’ll buy her books and appreciate her work elsewhere. I think that with a bit of coaching she might give a more polished presentation and that would be wonderful. Sorry, I can’t take the ads. Ugh, they’re awful, mostly pseudoscientific garbage that she reads out with a straight face. I guess it’s one way to get subscribers.

Couldn’t Finish
I tried several episodes and couldn’t finish 4 of the 5. This pod covers A LOT of cases involving children so if that bothers you, this isn’t for you. Surprisingly, the monotone voice and unique cadence that others have mentioned don’t bother me, but I have to agree about the poor ad placement. However, if you dislike political agendas, slights, and virtue signaling being interjected into the story then, again, this isn’t for you. It’s especially annoying when the host makes derogatory cultural comments about the States when she’s based in Ireland.

Perfect
Emily is an excellent storyteller and her beautiful Irish accent is an added bonus. I like how she often puts a clip from the trial or 911 call etc. at the beginning of the episode. I’m so glad I found this show.

Top notch
Emily works tirelessly on this podcast and it shows. The narration, writing and storytelling is impeccable.

My new favorite podcast!
I am currently binging this podcast. It’s done very well, and I’m obsessed with the host’s accent.

THE VOICE
The voice is like listening to a robot that thinks it’s a person. The writing is decent but it would be much better read by a human being.

True Crime Podcast Addict and Love It
I happen to be quite addicted to True Crime Podcasts specifically and this is one of my favorites. I absolutely adore the accent and the tone of the narrator. I love her style that gives me a break from the more personal narrative formats of other podcasts and just sticks to the story. I like having that option depending on my mood. The accent is my favorite though 🥰

Great listen!!
Appreciate your hard work and the pieced in clips!! Love the longer, detailed episodes. Really helps me get through the work day! And if you can’t understand her accent, it is 100% a you problem. She speaks very clearly and at a good pace. Keep up the great work👍🏽

Is this AI?
I feel like I’m being read to be AI. Her voice is so monotone. Interesting stories—maybe it would help if she expresses emotion?? I don’t know.

What’s with low stars….
What’s with the low stars because folks can’t place the host’s accent? A suuuuper simple Google search shows she is from Northern Ireland. I love host’s accent; it’s a large part of what makes me come back. Host takes care to speak slowly and clearly. I do agree podcast can get a little robotic/monotonous, but stories are told with great care to victims and good pacing. I don’t listen regularly, but when I feel the urge….Morbidology never disappoints. Thanks!!!

Is this hosted by a real person? It really sounds like AI

Good info - slow down!
I usually end up listening at 0.75x speed so I can understand everything. Maybe it’s just me but it would help if you would slow a bit down!

So Glad
I’m glad I hung in there with this podcast! It has gone from poor to awesome. I wrote a one star review some time ago and explained the problems. Not that you took my advice, but the podcast is now excellent. Good writing and research and good voice.

LAZY & BORING!
I listened to the first 4 and then I went to the 2 newest… you put me to sleep 😴 Do some real work and get interviews. If I want someone to just read to me to put me to sleep I’ll get an audio book. 🙄

Great!
I always enjoy your lesser known cases. Initially the presenter’s voice annoyed me but I’ve gotten acclimated to it now. Your content is always solid and interesting.

Bummer
Just not for me. Research and details are great but I’m having such a hard time moving past the robotic notions of the host’s voice

Voice is from where?
I am so distracted by the accent. Is it Australian, New Zealand, British, Irish, Scottish or one of several American dialects ?? It drifts in and out all of them. I’ve lived in Australia, and New Zealand and worked with Brits but I still get stuck on pronunciations. Content is good.

Ad placement
The ad placement lately has been absolutely awful, why are you inserting ads in the MIDDLE of a sentence?? This isn’t a new podcast, get a better producer please.
Aimsterdoodlepufferkins
Ads can be disruptive
Great podcast, editing could use some improvement. A transition between the pod and ads would do wonders, it takes me out of it when it abruptly changes from narration to “wow, I love this house!”

Very well done
This podcast is thorough and well done. It is factual and is not sensational.

Great podcast!
Great podcast and story coverage, but please, quit inserting the word HAD into the storytelling sentences.

Love you, Emily
Love love love Morbidology, and I’ve been watching and listening to true crime since the late 90s. Emily is a wonderful narrator and I can tell how much she cares about the victims and their families. Keep it up! I’ll keep listening.
pibblemom88
My absolute fave!!!!
every single monday my little schnauzer knows he’s getting an extra long morning walk because i get to listen to my FAVORITE podcast since 2014 serial!! in case you haven’t noticed the shownotes from other great true crime podcasts this host emily must be insanely busy researching and then informing us on all these terrible incidents that pique our curiosity— i have no idea how she does it but thank you!!! just remember to please keep saving the best for your morbidology besties!!!

Yeah that’s a no from me. I can’t get passed that voice! I love accents, but this is just too much!! Can’t do it!!

My favorite!
My favorite true crime podcast! She’s informative and dives into cases I’ve never heard of before.
Bethxny
Nope
Yeah no, I can’t. I even tried listening to it faster, I can speed pods up sometimes with no issue. But even that doesn’t save this narrator. I don’t know if it’s AI, or some undiscovered dialect, but it’s insufferable. Sorry to say, cuz I was legit interested in some of the cases they cover. Wish I could rate 0 stars. Get a new narrator, & I’ll gladly come back.

What happened
I have listened to every episode, I like how she gets to the story. I hate when podcasters talk for 20 minutes with each other, just get to it! Anyway, the reason 3 stars is I feel like she has lost her desire to tell stories. Multiple mess ups per episodes, repeating lines and words. As a writer you should not repeat the same word over and over, it’s very frustrating to listen too. I am moving on from this podcast, way to many true crime out there to continue where the story isn’t being told exceptional.

Excellent content!
I enjoy this podcast soooo much. There’s a lot of detail in each episode and the cases covered are consistently interesting. Her voice though, I love it! Took a little bit to get used to and when she pronounces some American names, I chuckle, but it’s awesome. A lot of time and effort goes into this podcast and it’s well worth a listen.

FAVE
This is probably one of my newest all time favorite podcasts ever. How did I go this long without knowing about it??? I seriously can’t stop binging it.

long time listener
her voice is great and really not an issue.the stories are so well done. i really love this podcast so much but the editing has gotten to me over the last 2 years. i’m not sure if you mean to repeat sentences or if it’s cut that way but it’s getting worse. there are several times in one episode that the audio clips back. it’s a shame bc this really is such a high production and quality work.

Love it!
I’m very picky about podcasts. This is the only one that I pay for monthly on Patreon! I’ve been a crime junkie forever and her voice is by far my fave; very unique! Everyone starts to sound the same after awhile. :)

Layout of storyline and mono tone of narrator
I listened to around twenty episodes and just couldn't listen to more shows. The shows are told in a end to beginning way. After the first ten minutes listening and hearing what happens, why continue listening to the monotone of three narrator. Who really doesn't sound like she's ok with doing the podcast.
Sam the Butchers
The voice is painful to listen to
Sorry

Narrator
The narrator voice makes it unbearable to listen to.
Yayaaaa(: 💙
Cases I’ve never heard of, but the VOICE
I want to listen to these because there are many cases I’ve never heard of, but the “narrator” voice is unbearable. If you’re going to use an AI voice simulator or whatever pick a better one. Or use literally any human around you to narrate this.

I’ve enjoyed binging on this podcast. There is a nice stash of episodes, and I appreciate the high quality.

The Voice.. can’t get past the voice
Sounds like a bad SNL sketch but NOPE.. it’s a real voice… REAL TERRIBLE. Can’t do it 1 star too may
Mailman matt
Too woke
I used to like this podcast ok but at some point it became extremely “woke”. We get enough of that everywhere else, it doesn’t need to be in true crime podcasts. If this trend continues eventually all entertainment will be created specifically for the enjoyment of black and transgender audiences to the exclusion of everyone else. Good luck making a living off of such a narrow demographic.
piclklypoo
I really liked this podcast until she decided to push her trans agenda on her viewers.
It really takes away from the cases when she infuses her biased opinions. It was really confusing hearing her refer to Joey as ally and she. She was saying Joey was misgendered. This is not true and her opinion. Tried listening to her again and she still adds in her socialist/left propaganda. It has nothing to do with the cases. So I’m totally done with this podcast. True crime podcasts are a dime a dozen so I have plenty others I can listen to.
