Real Criminologists

Nice balance of Expert Opinions with real Friends chemistry. Amy & Meg both have PhD's in Criminal Justice and have worked within the system.

I love how they tell the story of the cases, and at the end educate you on the behavioral/psychological science.

Intelligent and insightful

I only recently started listening to this podcast and I'm disappointed I didn't find it sooner. Meghan and Amy are not only extremely knowledgeable and have the professional chops to tackle these stories, but they also take great care not to make light or disrespect them in the process. If you want a true crime podcast that's heavy on information and *informed* analysis while also being light on the school girl banter or morbid "humor" that's so common in this genre, this is the podcast for you.

Great podcast!

I like how they focus on women across the crime spectrum and through time with stories about women as criminals and as victims.
