good true crime choice

with all the options for true crime this is a podcast to prioritize. if you aren't into small talk don't the whole thing for just 30 secs. after a while they feel like friends.

More than for just moms

A relatively light hearted take on murder. It is a fun cozy listen that more than just moms can easily enjoy.

Enjoyable!

I recently stumbled upon this podcast. I just started and am going in order. I binged on quite a few these past few days.

I like how they cover more "unknown" cases, at least for me.

I like their tone of voices and interactions.

I am a mom of 2 young kids, so I'm right in their demographic.... but so far, so good!
