Customer Reviews
Love the podcast 🎉
I (very recently) found y’all’s podcast and started from the first episode! I listened to the most recent one and realized I had unfortunately caught up when I didn’t hear the intro for the next episode right after 😭
I love hearing y’all’s perspectives on the cases and people involved. It’s sometimes hard to listen to the podcast due to the content, but I stick around for the many side conversations and for how y’all’s friend-energy with one another is felt throughout each episode. It’s very refreshing.
Side note: I, too, still can not hear the difference between Carter and Kierra’s voices 😂 keep up the great work yall 💚
Great crew
Such a great group! These three are so wonderful to listen to (even when the content is intense). They manage the tricky balance of being respectful about the subject matter and being genuinely funny. I listen to a ton of podcasts, but this is my favorite in true crime. It feels like hanging out with your nicest, funniest friends.
Love this podcast!!!
I just started listening this year. I started from the beginning to just get a feel for it. I absolutely love you guys. I love the fact it’s not scripted and the side bars I live for. The fact that you guys speak your mind. I’m behind but I’m sure I will catch up soon . I play you guys on every platform I have so look for more reviews.
