    Saved My Life
    You saved my life. I found this podcast today and decided to listen to the Susan Powell case because I was living about 10 minutes from her house when she was killed. I was devastated by this story and have listened to, read and watched EVERYTHING I can find about it. I was listening to it on my way to therapy (45 min. drive) and while I waited for my appointment. I spent the session reliving one of the times I was raped by my father as a 12 year old and I didn’t handle it well. Upon leaving the session, I was a mess. I felt shaky, nauseous, and terrified. I sat in my car thinking about how much I was hurting, how my life has been so painful, empty, and hopeless, and wondering if I would be better off ****. I’ve suffered with severe mental health issues all my life due to the many years of sexual abuse as a child and sexual assaults as a teen and adult. I felt like I couldn’t take it anymore. Then, I started hearing Lauren talk about Josh Powell and her rage cracked the walls of the helpless terror that had surrounded me. I felt like I wasn’t alone in the world in that moment. God, you women are so amazing and you never know what kind of an impact your words can have. Letting that anger flow gave me peace enough to keep going. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

    Stay for the laughs
    Not sure why it took me so long to find this great podcast but so glad I did - so many laughs along with gasps of horror. These two have fun chemistry and give great in depth histories of crime - plus crazy hockey team mania, slushee straws and 90s obsessions. I love this podcast!

    Lauren doesn’t know how blood types work!!!
    Love the podcast. It’s great. Truly is! But I recently just finished their last episode “till murder do us part” and Lauren Ash made a theory at the end that the mother with AB blood and the father with A blood could not have a child with B blood. But that isn’t true!!! I know it’s unrealistic for me to expect her to know about blood types since it’s been years since she had to learn it, but as someone who’s taken a class that has talked about genetics for 4 years in a row, let me give a science lesson. Blood types are slightly more complicated than normal Mendelian genetics. There are 3 alleles in blood type genetics. A, B, and i. AB blood has the A and B allele. Type O blood has 2 i alleles. But type A blood could have AA or Ai alleles. Type B blood could have BB or Bi alleles. Lauren assumed that the father had AA blood, in which case he would not be able to have a child with type B blood. But if he had Ai alleles then the mother could give a B allele and the father could give an i allele, leading to a child with Bi alleles aka type B blood. I know I shouldn’t be this bothered by it but I am. Still 5 stars though!!!

    Extremely entertaining
    Hilarious, passionate research!! I feel like I am in the room laughing with both of them. Love the long episodes. These ladies make me laugh, teach me, and keep me company!!! 10/10 recommend. Christy's research is amazing and then Lauren comes in with takes that you could never even think of!! They kill it everytime
  • Kate4389
    They for real won’t leave politics out of it
    This podcast has always been woke but now it’s super woke. They did a hit piece on Elon and then in this last episode tried to imply that Trump killed his ex wife. Why are you alienating 50 percent of your listeners?

    Too 3 Go-To Podcasts
    As I’m sure a lot of listeners are, I’m a huge fan of Lauren and all of her work. And now, of course, I’m also a huge fan of Christy 💛 This is one of my top go-to podcasts whenever I need a pick me up (which comes mainly from the half hour or so of banter in the beginning lol). I love these women and their relationship and hope this podcast goes on for years to come!
  • SSP933
    The most delightful
    I truly love this podcast. Thorough research with so much heart. I hope they never stop making content!! Christy and Lauren, thank you so much for all you do ❤️❤️
  • Abbyolivia
    Hugs
    This podcast feels like getting a hug from a friend or your mom. I mean. Besides the murder stuff and true crime of course. But anyway. I love both you ladies and you make me laugh and feel a sense of safety in a really scary world.
  • Jessi BW
    Delightful and well-researched!
    Every week feels like I get to attend a cocktail party in my jammies with my two favorite cousins, where we play cards, quote OVERBOARD, and talk true crime.
  • Bunny133564
    Happiest is when I’m listening to TC&C
    Idk what people are talking about when they say it’s political… they are just talking about human rights. That isn’t political unless you hate human rights? I truly love this podcast and these fun “aunts” are my comfort podcast.
  • Rachel06012020
    5+ Stars!
    These two delightful humans never fail to make me laugh hysterically. Came for the true crime, stayed for the banter!
  • danart83
    It’s becoming political
    I used to enjoy this podcast and look forward to Tuesday’s new release. The content used to be awesome. Christy and Lauren work very hard on content and tell great stories. But when excellent podcasters begin bringing their political views in to their commentary, I can’t hang around anymore.
  • Pchykeen
    I love you two!
    Please never stop doing this podcast! I love the banter, the research, the chemistry…it’s perfect!!! Lauren, I love your work! Christy, I’m a life long Flyers fan!
  • ellyn.s.
    Aunties or Sisters?
    Love the show and the deep and well-researched dives! You two should definitely embrace the kooky aunt era, but to this youngest possible Gen Xer you are more like rad little sisters 😘
  • SiSibear28
    My friends
    Look forward to every new episode drop. I get up in the morning and grab my coffee and turn on “ my friends “ while I get ready for work. I find the nonsense banter hilarious and it really feels like we’re just hanging out! Love this podcast! I will never forget “ south mouth” and “ dietary misadventure “. Both phrases I’ve put into my vocabulary regularly.

    Bantor and Pajama Bailiff are my Friends!
    Love this podcast. Been listening since the beginning. I enjoy the catchup before the story, makes the podcasters seem more real and down to earth. The stories they share are entertaining which is a nice calm before the storm of a story that you know is coming. Christy always does unparalleled research. Plus Lauren comes in at the end with awesome tidbits and her psychologist hat. Great podcast! Keep it up.
  • Mr.notperfect
    Hilariously Informative
    I have been listening since episode one and I look forward to a new episode each week. I take them on my runs with me and the time flies by! I love all of it even the part at the beginning before they get to the meat of the episode, because what is a meal without an appetizer? Great job ladies!
  • Lindsay-Jane MC
    Too much chatting at the start of the show.
    I really wanted to like this podcast. I like the two hosts, but they spent the first 40 minutes talking about TV shows and food. I found it really frustrating that I had to skip ahead.
  • Zen Jen 68
    Best podcast ever
    I love Lauren and Christy so much!! They have such an amazing and hilarious relationship, and they feel like my friends. They also do AMAZING research on each case and give really great breakdowns. Funny, compassionate and are able to explain even the most complicated cases in a way that makes it easy to follow. Love these ladies ❤️❤️❤️❤️

    Banter = Chuckle Chats
    LOVE the banter! Never stop! Also love the deep dives, of course.
  • jessicab89x\
    One of the best!!
    I absolutely love this podcast!! I did a search for a certain case and I’m hooked! Love the hosts and their friendly banter! I’m working my way through the episodes from #1! You ladies are the best!!
  • Sound app
    I wanted to like this podcast
    I'm sorry ladies, I tried to enjoy this podcast. I was excited for longer stories...turns out most of the time is talking about other things. I. Constantly found myself spacing out and not listening. I also prefer that I don't know any political beliefs of any podcaster. It seems to change how you tell the story.

    I have two funkos
    I have two pop funkos that are Toothless and Light Fury. I love How to Train Your Dragon movies.
  • kiraa7x
    I love you both so mcmuch
    Yes… my title is a McDonalds reference. Lauren and Christy, you two are so lovingly unhinged and hilarious. It has been amazing following your show, and your lives through the podcast. Lauren you have become one of my favorite actresses and I truly appreciate your candor. Thank you both for your hilarious conversation and your ability to get me out of my head when I need it. From- a gal that would be a coroner but can’t afford to go back to school. Cheers!

    Love these Two!
    Found this podcast in 2021 and it’s truly the best research I’ve seen on any true crime podcast! So good and I’m always interested to hear the theories on the unsolved cases. Please cover the Gypsy Rose Blanchard case because my goodness I feel you ladies would have so much to say and I would love to hear your thoughts on all of it! Love that you can see how close they are and how fun their dynamic is! Love that they take the time to really learn about the cases presented and take notes while listening to each other’s researched content! Even cases I know there is always information revealed I did not know! Keep it up ladies!
  • meegdc
    Assuming
    The knee jerk bandwagon jumping regarding anything trending on social media is curious. Before lecturing America on which celebs are ok vs cancelled, maybe do some research- hate tom wopat? Blanch is a Bo Duke fan? Do you know amount John Schneider’s views? Just pick a lane..
  • AlaskanGay
    Stop talking about hockey, it’s boring
    Christy, nobody cares, talk about Cookie or modern motherhood, hockey is boring!
  • Wendal Wild
    Gem of a podcast
    I’m late discovering this gem of a podcast, but I’m so glad I found these ladies. It feels like we could be friends. This has quickly become my go to podcast
  • Kalizbiz
    Love love love these ladies
    Christy and her bestie Lauren Ash of Superstore and Not Dead Yet kill it with off the rails banter. It’s perfect for true crime fans who also love a great 20-30 minute banter intro :) I’ve literally laughed out loud at Christie’s hot crushes on the non-human McDonalds character Grimace and her many adventures to 7-eleven for the perfect Slurpee.
  • L3zL0w
    The Realest
    Love the podcast. The banter between the 2 is unmatched! It’s amazing listening to them just being themselves! But most importantly they pick good cases and give the people a lot of information! Sincerely a big fan!
  • bowiebish
    A delight
    These ladies are great! The research is unmatched and I truly appreciate the work put in. It helps that both of their personalities are wonderful and they feel like friends. I don’t mind the banter at the start but if you do just fast forward man, not a big deal. Well worth it for the cases. Keep it up ladies!
  • SubHub
    Love them
    I trip all over myself to smash the play button on this every Tuesday. They should be running the FBI but instead they are entertaining the world. If I am ever murdered, tell the police to go home. I want Lauren and Christy on the case. Need more, love you!!
  • shenkelman20
    Well researched and empathetic
    These ladies do a wonderful job in researching their topics and being sensitive to victims without getting political. Yes, they do banter. If you don’t like it, fast forward. The love they have for each other and their topics is palpable. Great podcast and I look forward to listening every week.
  • Rivkah1329
    True Crew Fan!
    I came to this podcast because Lauren Ash is my favorite comedian on TV, and then stayed for Christy and Lauren’s hilarious banter and heartwarming sisterhood. Love these two, and for the haters who want them to get straight to the true crime, I often only listen to the banter in the beginning because true crime scares me and you don’t deserve their brilliance. Love you, Lauren and Christy!! Also shoutout to Lauren’s music career, if you haven’t checked her music out yet, do it now!
  • Peice a Cake
    Too much
    I tried. I really tried. Too much talk about nothing. Seriously over 15 minutes of trying to guess who she saw at the award show. 30 seconds would’ve been suffice. It took them over 45 minutes to get into the story. At that point, I had enough.
  • 3boyspml
    Good Podcast
    Can you cover the Natalia grace story…please???
  • Nicole833
    Amy’s album was Back TO Black
    Not Back in Black. It’s very simple to remember!
  • AlaPJo
    Listener From The Jump
    Lauren and Christy are my absolute “non-guilty pleasure”. I tell everyone about this podcast and how it is my favorite. Their voices are a perfect-temp chamomile tea and their reporting is TOP NOTCH. They go above and beyond in their research and cover their cases with dignity and grace. “Fan” seems too distant; I admire their relationship and their sense-of-selves. I laugh, I cry, I listen with every inch of my being. Never change because you two are appreciated and loved.
  • Shannonbelle
    Don’t ever stop the beginning banter!!
    I love it and it’s so fun! Thank you for these episodes!

  • AmyJoBen
    So glad I found this podcast!!
    I adore Lauren Ash and heard her on another podcast I love, which led me to this excellent podcast! I want to be Lauren and Christy’s friend, sitting in with a cocktail and listening in. Definitely check this podcast out!
  • Fynnpony101
    any negative reviews about this show are from men
    it’s the most i depth, unusual research i’ve ever heard.. about people i used to think i was an expert on. they do unhinged amounts of research, and they do it with love and empathy. i’ve cried in public listening to this podcast, it’s incredible. honestly the best history / true crime podcast i’ve ever listened to. i can’t say enough good things.
  • Megan ZonaLife
    Hands down favorite
    I love listening to Christy and Lauren. They are authentic and engaging and make me feel like I’m hanging out with besties just talking about true crime cases. It doesn’t hurt that Lauren is my girl crush. I adore this podcast and can’t get enough.
  • NewMeKC
    Christy is my idol!!
    Christy’s personality, research, obsessions, collections & voice are THE ULTIMATE!! I absolutely adore her & am want to be her!! Thank you for sharing your research, stories & lives with us!! Please keep the stories rolling!! We appreciate you!!
  • Linder00
    Only the best crime podcast. That’s all.
    I enjoy crime podcasts but this one takes the subject to an all new level. Who knew horrible crimes could be so entertaining? These podcasts are not only entertaining but thoroughly researched, so it’s not just fluff. The humor helps the listener to digest some truly horrifying stories. Keep it up ladies, you lovable goofs!
  • Sharevehar
    My favorite podcast
    This is by far and away my all-time favorite podcast! I have been listening to the genre for years and there have been a few repeat cases and every. single. time. they bring information I’ve never heard. I appreciate the levity they bring to the genre. I would say we need more like them but I wouldn’t listen haha. Guess we just need more OF them! Also, can we PLEASE get some Raccoon Day merch?! I love you both and occasionally just send some love and light your way! I hope this podcast goes on forever. We believe in you!
  • SydLexi

    My #1 Show! Funny & Informative
    Your podcast was recommended to me by a fellow “murdery” podcast fan and I love it! I enjoy your humor, honesty, and the way you tell the entire story, including analysis. Keep doing what you’re doing - you are both very appreciated!
