“I remember when I first found this show years during their second year. I fell in love with the banter, and way of story telling. From the full morbid to the mini morbid, I was hooked. Somewhere along this pass year, I stopped being able to finish episodes. Too many guest episodes where the host sickly-sweet gush over them to the point of nausea. Too many listener tales that clearly are creative writing exercises vs actual listeners. Too much holier-than-thou-as-a-mother-I-would-never from hosts who have never been in the victim’s shoes. Glorifying killers and joking while detailing gruesome victim deaths. Or completely leaving out horrific details that while terrible, truly are part of the story. I do not understand how one episode can be full on minute detailed and another episode telling the listeners they are going to have to google that themselves.
As I said, I slowly stopped finishing episodes. Then I slowly stopped starting episodes. After nearly 6 months of unplayed Morbid sitting in my queue, it’s time to let a bad thing go. I’ll miss Morbid. Or, I’ll miss what use to be Morbid, not the self-glorifying, hyper-yet-bored production that this podcast has turned into.
Keep it weird. But not so weird you sell out.”
