“I’ve been a long time listener, but I’m just not sure about this podcast anymore. They seem to be going in a different direction, and I no longer find myself looking forward to new episodes dropping. Alexis’s podcasting skills, in particular, seem to be getting worse over time. Maybe it’s just...”Read full review »

“Love the hosts, content & cases. This is top tier true crime podcast especially since the guests are one degree of separation from the crimes. Keep up the awesome work!!”

“Great and consistent stories. Both of the hosts are good storytellers and work well together. My biggest beef are the taglines, especially “a podcast you could end up on”. It feels gross to imply your listeners could be the victims of horrible crimes.”

“I love listening to your podcast! Not just for the true crime but also for the conversation that I get to listen to. You were saying today that your cohost bit his tongue and it was bleeding. Well, I have a story about biting your tongue. When my brother was about two years old, we were on the...”Read full review »

“I look forward to each new episode. The dynamic amongst the cohosts is lively and entertaining, and their individual discussion/storytelling styles shine. Smart, insightful and funny people who still treat each case with the gravitas it deserves. LOVE IT!! Love the f bombs too! Real talk here,...”Read full review »

“It seems they are going in a different direction and have changed their format. Not a fan of the change. Loved the old format and I’m not talking about Killing Time. Disappointing as this once was a great podcast.”

“Imagine being such a clown person you leave a one star review because you dislike someone’s voice or the fact that they’re wearing a retainer. Just stop listening if you’re that annoyed by it. No need to leave a negative review on a FREE PODCAST, nor announce your departure. BYE.”

“I like the content, but can barely listen to the breathing and deep nasal sounds coming from Alexis. It sounds like she has a lisp and mouth full of spit. The sounds were amplified in second episode of Denise Huskins. I hope you can possibly improve editing to help reduce the sounds. Otherwise, I...”Read full review »

“Just wanted to add to my review & say I still enjoy the show & if Alexis is wearing a retainer it’s whatever. I don’t have misophonia so it doesn’t bother me. And if it did I’d never leave a cruel review or comment about it. Some of these people need to grow up!
One of the things I love...”Read full review »

“So upset there was not a trigger warning for the horrendous animal abuse in the Theresa episode. Not in the show notes or in the episode itself. Every other podcast does this and trusts the hosts to give people these warnings.”

“I am an avid podcast listener as well as a radio producer. I don’t love this podcast but I will keep listening because it’s true crime stories that you probably don’t hear on other podcasts. Not great story telling. Alexis is so annoying; her smacking, her huge breaths, she talks like a robot....”Read full review »

“I LOVE the podcast, truly one of my favorite. But as someone with misophonia I just can’t listen to it anymore with Alexis’ mouth sounds. Recently it sounds like she’s wearing a retainer, Invisalign, or maybe she got veneers. It’s odd too that they haven’t addressed whatever it is that has caused...”Read full review »

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ As most TC podcast have watered down to almost a snooze, I just discovered this TC Podcast.
It has been my go-to in a season of loneliness… in comparison to other podcasts; I appreciate it.
They dive right into the case and leave fun talks to the last part.
They don’t overwhelm you...”Read full review »

“Alexis needs to take her Invisalign or retainer out of her mouth when she records ads.

“I love Alexis- but what in gods name is going on with her speech during this ad? She’s slurring words and honestly sounds drunk. I’m not sure if something else was going on there but I think you need to re-record that. Otherwise I think you guys are great. Keep doing what you’re doing.”

“Used to look forward to the show, but just not feeling it anymore. So many random little side stories or facts are making it hard to follow the actual story.
