    It’s always such a bummer when a podcast “grows the brand”
    I mean, I’m glad for y’all to find financial success, but it always seems that what made the show great sort of disappears, and basically every time I lose interest. I don’t want to swim through the “added features” to try to find something I want to listen to. Oh well, it was a pretty good run. On to the next. Thanks gal’s, it was good while it lasted!

    My new favorite binge-worthy podcast!
    I recently found this podcast and started at the beginning. It’s my go-to while feeding my baby in the middle of the night.l and while working during the day. I love that it’s light-hearted even given the subject matter, and the stories aren’t overly gruesome. I also just feel like I know the hosts, and we’re all just great friends!

    Lame
    Nothing more- just lame. It’s cringy when someone’s entire personality is consumed by being a mother. We get it.

    2many ads. All about $$$$$$$
    I used to like this podcast but now can’t stand the begging for money and the constant , endless pressure to buy something. It’s not about doing what they love anymore and it shows in the content and their attitudes!

    LOVE YOUR NEW COLORS
    Love 💕 this podcast and their friendship.

    Reading as if from a script? Plus Shot Put
    I really wanted to listen to this podcast. But found it difficult to listen bc it sounds like they are reading from a script. Sounds unnatural for a discussion podcast. Also “shot putt”had me doubting my entire life. This isn’t the first time that has happened during the podcast. 🗣️ Still sound like they were handed a script and are reading for the first time. It’s so distracting to the story.
  • rosallea
    Pretty good show
    The actual stories are well presented but I dislike the small talk and chatter and some of their uninformed opinions, sorry to say. We all know Florida has hot summers and you dislike it.

    Bring back Last Thing Before You Go
    I look forward to the show every Tuesday but super disappointed that they dropped “last thing before we go”. The show feels incomplete without it.

    Used to be a fav
    Huge fan, little disappointed. I feel a disconnect recently. I have listened to every episode, and tbh there has been a shift of authenticity. It all started when “last thing before we go” was dropped, and it seems the episodes are less filled with factual information and more focused on statements of feelings. The past few episodes have dragged on the police forces that were in charge in the cases. That’s fine, but I wanted hard facts to back up the claims, and instead it was a lot of he said/she said the police sucked. There used to be a lot more connection with the fans and a lot more facts, less emotional statements. So disappointing as this was my fave show! :(
  • Andasibe
    Used to be a much better podcast
    The number of ads now is ridiculous. The constant request for listeners to join patrion is annoying. Dropping ‘last thing before we go” is disappointing. Bring back the old show!

    Learn how to pronounce words
    The number of words these women mispronounce is so ridiculous that I couldn’t listen anymore. And one of them cannot say “ing” properly and it’s like nails on a chalkboard
  • GRAN TORO DE LIDIA
    YOU TWO DUMB BROADS KEEP MENSTRUATINGF
    Hahaha! Keep syncing your twats’ tomatoes! Get to the kitchen and be useful, hags! I love your show. How hard to find out gravity affects you as you turn 25?! All terse and perky until then…magpies!

    I’ve been listening to this podcast from the very first episode and I’ve never been disappointed yet! Great stories and great story tellers!
  • Morgan2111
    Patreon kills podcasts
    This used to be one of my favorites but I don’t like the idea of taking everything to Patreon including “Last thing before we”.

    Blow dryer
    What is the name of this blow dryer? I’ve been trying to find out.
  • Rs ac
    Way too many ads!
    I love the content and storytelling. But breaking 5 minutes into the episode for super long ads is so annoying.
  • JessieLeighBee
    Love it
    I feel like I’m listening to friends when I listen to this podcast. I appreciate the fact that you guys don’t cuss, don’t talk about politics (we all need the break) and that you don’t cover cases about children. But most of all, I love that you bring a certain lightheartedness to the show afterwards, it helps to reset after. Please don’t ever change!
  • madi19999999
    Love you ladies!
    I love that you guys don’t shove your political opinions down our throats! You’re one of the only true crime podcasts that’s I’ve found that refrains from talking politics and it’s so refreshing!
  • lostlesbianlove
    I came for the murder
    I have loved you both for years. Thank you for the entertainment. I’m unsubscribing now as you said “we don’t get into politics” as a queer woman, and a mother, I am doubling down to only listen to folks who are brave enough to take a stand. Hopefully this country kills us off soon, as I’m so tired of fighting to survive. Should give you more stories to share… political violence agaisnt queer folks.
  • Xamdiyah
    One of the best if not the best
    I love listening to you both. This is one of my all time favorite podcasts to listen to. I’ve been listening for a few years now I can’t remember when but it’s when it still had the moms and murder title. Anyways I love how you play off each other and talk a little but get right to the story without taking too much time away. I love you and wish you many success to come ❤️❤️
  • SubHub
    Good
    I like them but it feels like every episode is “woman killed by her partner” needs more variety, more mystery.
  • Adnamayak
    Mispronounced words
    Love your personalities & storytelling, but there is no excuse for mispronounced words of familiar & famous places, which happens regularly. It’s not difficult to confirm pronunciation on the internet! Latest episode of Gabby Petito had Grand Teton National Park mispronounced several times. Mispronouncing words like this leads listeners to doubt your credibility.
  • HCIL11
    One of my Favorites
    I have about three or four podcast on rotation- and this one is one of absolute favorites!
  • TSC707
    Sponsors
    I love the show, and understand that sponsors are needed, but honestly there are too many interruptions for such a short show. Unfolding.
  • E4J4k
    Good and clean
    I’ve been listening since the beginning and I’ve loved it! I think it’s sweet they talk about the weather, their kiddos and life happenings. I also appreciate the stories they cover and the respect they show for the families.
  • ahkwjx
    My favorite podcast
    My all time favorite podcast. The stories are stories that are not covered by everyone around. Grateful for these ladies.
  • Frangen10
    Great show!!!
    Great job with the show ladies!
  • MJackson88
    Crime
    This is hands down my favorite true crime podcast. Keep up the great work ladies!
  • candiedisland
    Wish there’d be warnings
    I love this podcast but episodes containing animal abuse should have a trigger warning at the beginning.
  • Kristina P 78
    Love you guys!
    You guys are awesome! Kristina and Judy in Quincy!
  • Kristi Kilbs
    Huge fan!
    I love how you both tell a story and put in your own entertaining thoughts and feelings on each one. The sympathy and compassion you guys have makes listening to your show a treat.
  • Mitza M
    Not a favorite
    It’s ok if you like a ton of giggling & getting totally off topic & way off base for most of the episodes. Just not enough real facts for a real crime show podcast. And Melissa’s voice kills me! So boring & monotone. And if they say “That’s wild” one more time. Seriously broaden your vocabulary!
  • Laceybugg1996
    Love!
    I absolutely love you guys episodes! I love the chit chat and all of the cases you cover!
  • 5walleyes
    Love this show!
    Love, love, love the show and listening to Mandy and Melissa banter back and forth about the hot Florida weather, chickens and Diet Coke. After listening to an old episode my only criticism is how in the world has Mandy not seen the movie “Home Alone”? You need to turn your air conditioning up, put on a sweater and enjoy that movie pronto.
  • ChelseaAnn777777
    Love the Moms!
    Thanks to Jaime from Murderish for sending me over. Love how they report the stories, even the ones I already know, I enjoy their take. I appreciate that they talk about things in a real way and not dramatizing certain details like most trucrime shows. Funny and relatable banter, pretty short intro (I guess people think it’s long, but I like hearing private school schedules and Florida weather reports 😂). The end is always so light and funny, I’ve never watched love is blind, but the passion they have for it 😜. Keep it up ladies
  • jeannie mcc
    Great podcast- well written and love the moms!
    I really enjoy the podcast - put my earbuds in and go for a nice long walk with them!
  • Latinanycmomma
    Enjoyable
    I have been listening to this podcast since 2021. Many nights when I was up with my newborn, these ladies kept me company lol. I enjoy them Very much and have even gone back to older episodes. I’ll definitely continue following this podcast. Also, I don’t understand the hate and negative reviews. If you don’t like it , don’t listen to it. Sheesh.
  • Player asdfghjklpoiuytrewq
    excellent listen
    I truly love this pod. I listen to a lot of true crime and feel like they address things respectfully without making jokes or light of horrible events. they dont make me feel desensitized to crime and dont do stories about children which I so appreciate.
  • BRas84
    Good stories but told in very brisk, businesslike manner
    Good stories…but told in such a brisk, businesslike manner. To the point, like they are reading word for word. Not much back and forth chatting, however too much chatting at beginning of stories.
  • helen k reynolds
    Fake
    “Hi, Mandy, how are you?”. Melissa’s voice sounds tired, bored, practiced, monotone and disinterested. We know you are either on zoom or in close proximity to your cohost. Why use the same un-interested beginning for your podcast? This turns me off to listening plus, not very well researched .
  • NATCAT777
    So good
    This is the best podcast I’ve ever listened to Natalia campos #1 fan
  • ashgreen82
    Top Tier
    You two make listening to horrible stories somehow wholesome. You’re relatable and funny with the right amount of respect, the show is well researched and informative and you get it done in just the right amount of time. The two of you have created what very few true crime podcasters have been able to achieve and I live for it every Tuesday ❤️

    Stop trolling and giving bad reviews!( I.e. Tulipa44)
    I would like to first start out bye saying that ALL CRIME isn’t humorous! If you don’t like the podcast then go away! It’s that simple! If you’re into true crime there are many podcasts out there like this one! I have not yet listened to all of this series of podcasts except a couple of them which I am not going to say these are good or bad but I think it’s interesting enough to keep listening! I’ve listened to another podcast like this one (which I’ve listened to all of them and waiting on this weeks episode) called Crime Junkies which really is like this podcast (Ashley Flowers and Brit, two amazing people, like these two women are courageous people). Like I said above, if you don’t like the podcast, don’t listen! And move on. (i.e. Tulipa44, don’t know why your giving a bad review because you like a different podcast, go listen to your possibly lame DWD and leave no review on this one because they don’t deserve it) I absolutely hate people (trolls) like that! Unless you listen to all of their episodes and only then should you be giving bad reviews and not even bad reviews. How about you leave a review that actually helps someone better their podcasts not tear them down. Keep doing what you guys are doing ladies you guys are definitely courageous. Don’t listen to negative people that troll your podcast. They have no idea what they’re talking about. As for my fellow crime Listeners, stay alert, be rude, trust your gut feeling because it’s 99% right, stay alive!
  • Tulipa44
    It’s no Date With Dateline
    Heard about this one from Date with Dateline, which I love. Unfortunately this has none of the wit, warmth,or humor, and copious use of “whenever” instead of “when”. They seem like nice people but I’ll keep looking for an in-depth crime podcast to listen to when DWD doesn’t have new episodes.
  • LotusSpeak
    Really Annoying
    I love this show so much and I’ve been listening since 2018 but man you gals make it so hard to find another podcast like yours! I am at the point that I am listening to your old shows over again. I am so annoyed that you are this good.
  • REESHIA95
    Best True Crime Podcast

  • KALJ1974
    Great Podcast
    I look forward to listening to this podcast every week. If you’re not a fan of their “last thing before we go,” give it a few episodes and you’ll begin to look forward to those, too. Highly recommend this for true crime from true friends.
