Miss the old days
Sad to say. Been here since the beginning and I miss Karen and Georgia picking the stories they are actually interested in, researching them, and telling them in their own words. I agree that they have lost their mojo. I think they can get it back and I hope they do because I miss the old days. I still enjoy their beginning-of-show banter… that’s definitely not my issue.

Honest Review
I’m not going to lie, it took me a few tries to get into this. I had to completely finish about 5 other true crime channels before I could listen to this entire series. I have had many friends say the same and now that I’ve listened to every episode I can honestly say “Trust me! Keep listening and it will grow on you!” I love Karen and Georgia, they are genuinely hilarious to me and this has become one of my favorite true crime podcasts. If you have a hard time getting into them - come back another time, you will realize as much as they say they don’t know what they are doing, they are doing everything right.

My Absolute Favorite
I know the first segment is “highly contested” but it’s my favorite part of the podcast. Have been listening to you both since close to the very beginning and you feel like I’m listening to friends. I love the laughter and banter and everything you stand for. Thank you and please keep doing this because listening to you talk about literally anything is my happy place.

Less talk more story
I wanted to give 4 stars but my fingers stopped. They just have tooooooo long of an intro. I don’t want to listen to two women talk about their day to days for the first 11-12 mins. Please just focus on the stories and have a shorter intro. They have great humor in between their story telling - but the intro could be 2-4 mins max.

Over it
Just go back to the good ole days of telling a riveting murder story. Nobody needs to have your political opinions and agenda shoved down their throat. We are all entitled to think for ourselves and have our own opinions. What a boring world this would be if we were all alike!

Thanks
I don’t have adequate words, not my thing but just listen. I listened to Georgia when she was with Alie having slumber parties. I’ve long been a fan of Karen as well, discovered her through standup. Together? Honestly? Fantastic even though I was exclusively listening to comedy podcasts when MFM launched. I’m aware that this is a Comedy Podcast about True Crime, I’m just a late bloomer when it comes to True Crime.

Used to be my favorite but now sad face
I feel terrible saying this but Karen and Georgia seem to have lost their mojo. That seems to happen with a lot of conversational shows. The first few years though are friggen brilliant, especially the live shows.

If you like listening to your 7th grader’s last-minute book report, you’ll like this show.
I want to like them and I appreciate their openness about mental health as well as trying to maintain lightness around a heavy subject, but the show sounds like they are reading a poorly written book report they keep getting distracted from. If it’s going to be scripted then I wish they would do a better job of telling a well woven and compelling story instead of reading flatly off a page. There are much much better crime shows out there.

A “brief” comment
On the chemistry between Karen and Georgia - fluid and friendly, which makes it feel like you’re joining a group of friends for a chat when you listen. On the storytelling- both are engaged (I have predominately listened to the older episodes as I’m a newer listener, so this is based on that fact), but Karen has a more natural storytelling ability. However, Georgia in all her honest self-deprecating humor recognizes that, which I appreciate about her. Now, could there be a bit more focus on the original topic that everyone signed up for? Yes. However, I notice that quite a few people are bothered by the “political” conversations, which I get to some extent. You came for murder, you want murder. That being said, these two have always spoken openly on their opinions (not always based on fully researched facts), so that shouldn’t make the haters so aghast. Again, I believe in ppl researching so they can form a thoughtful response, but I also noted a lot of ppl on here are SO misinformed about the situation in I/Gaza. American media is so so biased, so if you’re still throwing out that a genocide isn’t happening and I has a right to defend itself, you haven’t truly looked at both sides yourself. I’m going to end my comment here, but it seems like ppl are uncomfortable bc they don’t know the full story.

My Favorite Podcast!
Just the perfect mix of comedy and true crime. I suggest starting at Episode 1 for anyone new to this podcast.

Bingeing
Just started bingeing from the beginning while I work. Enjoying everything so far but read reviews and political and religion stories and opinions and I will just stop when that stuff starts. Not interested in being bashed over the head with unwanted political commentary. Enjoying everything so far! Will be disappointed with the change!

Listen to the earlier episodes
I’ve been a listener consistently since 2016, but I find myself skipping more episodes recently than I actually listen to. I’m still rating this 4 stars because the early episodes are so interesting, it’s just gotten away from what I think it used to be. I’m not really interested in history podcasts and it feels too much like that.

Love Love Love!
I was nervous to start this podcast years ago because I didn’t really understand the concept and thought I wouldn’t get how true crime and comedy could work. Glad to say I was wrong! They have a wonderful way of taking the hardest things in this world and presenting it in a factual way that also has just enough humor to keep it from getting too dark. I also appreciate that they are staying true to their convictions and beliefs even though a small portion of fans want them to stop saying anything negative about politics or flawed belief systems. I know it can be hard to keep speaking out about what you believe is right when your fan base can turn on you for it and I just want you to know that the true fans will stick with you and are here exactly FOR your takes as strong, independent, inclusive, compassionate, educated women. I feel so safe in this space and I would encourage people that feel “attacked” by their political statements to really sit with it and examine why you would feel attacked by them saying things like “stop genocide” or “we have to vote to stop our rights being stripped away”. Regardless, I am so thankful for the podcast and have Ben sharing it with friends and family because it’s a quality true crime podcast from a couple of quality gals. PS- I really enjoy the dark history stories and would also be interested in more international true crime! Just a thought! Thanks for all y’all do!

Karen and Georgia tell really interesting and compelling stories with respect and integrity. They are also hilarious and feel like my friends after listening for like 3 years so that’s a good thing for a podcast to make you feel right?! Right.

SO SAD
The ladies used to put so much effort into the show and it was reflected in each podcast. every episode used to be about crime or murder and now every week is some boring history lesson. The show has devolved so much from what it once was and it’s very sad to see. The only thing I look forward to are the mini episodes. I’ve been following the show for at least five years and it’s finally time to unfollow.

Podcast has changed.
They BARELY talk about true crime/murder anymore. It’s turned into a history storytelling podcast. I get that they’ve handed over the work of curating the stories to their staff, but I can’t say that it’s made the podcast better. And the “Hometowns” have turned into just a fan-mail story-time free-for-all. I just don’t care for the pod anymore guys, sorry.

Thanks for being here
This podcast has made my Mondays and Thursdays a little better for years

Moral high ground but promote better help
Better help is known in the mental health community to be very unethical. These are not necessarily trained professionals, bound by ethics of the field. With just a little bit of research, you can tell that many many people have horrible and even traumatizing experiences. To constantly take holier than thou moral stances and promote some thing like this when they made it and have plenty of money is unfortunate. They could promote small companies, or at least ethical ones. further, and I’m not even religious or a Republican, but i find their political views extremely shortsighted and black and white, almost laughably, so. Most of the people in the world are religious and you can’t just go around insulting peoples deeply held spiritual beliefs constantly, and then at the same time, speak about a war that at its core involves religion at both sides. Since they use the word genocide (incorrectly) I wonder if they would tell Palestinians that their religion is stupid. Or maybe they should tell HAMAS. This is what happens when you bring politics and ignorance into your podcast. Do better.

Better help your morals
Long time listener no more
I use to love this podcast, went to live shows, I bought merch…. But lately I’ve just been so overly disappointed in their agenda push. I’m pretty liberal and disheartened in what this podcast has become with ongoing current events.

LOVE podcast, but...
I LOVE the podcast; however, I wish they would leave politics and religion out of their conversations.

I love this show! Just wish the political views weren’t talked about so much but that’s why you can skip so I just fast forward some but still love this podcast!
sadi6855
crime podcast or political podcast?
Is this a crime podcast or a political podcast? I listen to this podcast to escape the daily news and it seems all these two talk about is politics. Can we please get away from political talk and just talk focus on the stories? No one subscribes to crime podcasts to hear about your political views.

My favorite podcast this year
Still great after all these years! Thanks for keeping it up, Karen and Georgia, and for inspiring us all!

Go away tRump loving, racists!! Karen and Georgia ROCK!
Don’t listen to the conservative grumps! I agree with you 100% about this terrible excuse for an administration. I feel like you ladies are always trying to learn and grow, and you’ve helped me to learn and grow! I happen to appreciate “your liberal agenda”. The ladies donate and put their money where their mouths are! Keep using your platform to speak out about the injustices and atrocities this “president” is committing!

Used to love this podcast!
I stopped listening when this got political. We have so few things in our culture that aren’t. It’s a shame. I unsubscribed.
