  • The Fast-Food Killer
    Jun 8 2025

    In 1997, an individual terrorized the area around Nashville, Tennessee. This person robbed several fast-food restaurants, killing workers in the process. A man named Paul Dennis Reed Jr. was ultimately identified as "the fast-food killer" and took seven lives before he was caught.

    Join Mike and Morf as they talk about Paul Dennis Reid Jr., dubbed by the press as the fast-food killer. Reid had a rough childhood, and he displayed concerning behaviors as a youngster. He also had a series of head injuries. His mental competency to stand trial became a focal point.

  • Steven Freeman
    Jun 1 2025

    Just before 11:00 p.m. on August 1, 2018, authorities in Griffin, Georgia, were called to a home on the 800 block of Sunnybrook Drive. Twenty-three-year-old Steven Freeman had been shot, and Mary Katherine Higdon, who lived in the house with Steven, admitted that she was the one who shot him.

    Join Mike and Morf as they discuss Mary Katherine Higdon and the shooting death of Steven Freeman. At first, Mary Katherine claimed the shooting was accidental and the gun had gone off as she was handing it to Steven. Later, her story would evolve into one of self-defense. What would the jury believe?

I love the great writing and reporting of this show. Mike F has a great voice for radio (or podcasts) and I really enjoy listening to him. the Mikes have done great research and getting to hear it much more in-depth than can be done on TCATT is great.

This is about the 4th story I have listened too. They definitely do their homework. I will be continuing to listen to their great stories. Great job guys.

I believe I’m hooked now.

Intriguing

closest a listener can get to being inside the killers mind without actually crawling in there.

LOVE the detail.

not sure if you guys read the comments but one suggestion Morf... you sound like you are reading an 8th grade report sometimes. maybe add a little more personality to your facts... when your interviewing your organic and its fluid and you can tell you're engaged. when going over past crimes or the background you're very monotone and like you don't want to be there.

but really you guys. you do a fabulous job.

wow... just wow

I've tried to listen to this podcast at different times, hoping it got, somehow, better. But episode one is the same as the most recent. Their reading voice is terrible. There's no natural flow to it. It's like every period he comes to is a welcome surprise.
This is NOT my kind of podcast.

I just couldn't take it......,

After listening to both TCATT and TCATT Unsolved we were very excited to take the deep dive into Criminology, but after ten or so episodes find it really suffers from the lack of repartee between the two hosts. It's like they're reading from scripts from different rooms. I find I'm constantly rewinding because it just does not hold my attention as the other two podcasts do. I plan to push forward as there are 160 + episodes to go and hope somewhere along the line they have managed to improve on what is now a very mediocre presentation. Gibby, you are truly missed!

Wanted to like it!
