“I loved this podcast. It fed my fixation with cults and true crime in a way that allowed for laughter but didn’t minimize the suffering of the victims. However that has changed. There is nonstop name dropping of their “close” friends, Patrick screams a lot and Gillian consistently reminds us to be inclusive while she in turn consistently bashes people above the age 60.
Their episodes now are rehashes of either Dateline or 48 Hours. When a person suggests a documentary that is reminiscent of the original premise of the podcast it is ignored. I get that it is their show and can do the material they want but it feels they are catering to their fans who are “worshipping “ them in their FB account (where discussion is not encouraged).
I would hope they would read some of these reviews and realize they are losing the people that were there at the beginning and loved what was created at that time.”
