There is a faint, high pitched whine running constantly in the background of Christine’s audio for the last several episodes (August 2025). Love the pod but it’s driving me INSANE and I can’t listen to the eps! ———————————— Never knew I needed a supernatural/true crime crossover podcast until I found this one. I just started listening from the beginning and I'm already obsessed and binging. I could listen them talk about anything all day and I basically already have. #teamwine Edited to add: occasionally can be annoying and hard to follow as someone who solely listens to podcasts and doesn’t watch the video

I swear the bad reviews are just a sad attempt at reaching a Beach Too Sandy mention. This podcast is the best podcast. It was the very first I ever listened to and have listened for over six years. Em and Christine opened the door to my entire podcast experience and they have brought so much laughter, tragedy, knowledge, and coziness into the podcast world. Constantly working to provide excellent entertainment, stay up to date and involved in pressing issues of today, and actively working toward a better tomorrow.

For two people who preach tolerance and inclusivity they sure don’t practice what they preach to those with differing views or opinions.

I’ve been listening since the beginning, and use podcasts as an escape from the overwhelming amount of terrible things happening in our country and the world. Please stick to the stories and banter about your friendship. Your more recent over sensitivity is bringing down the show. And for the love of God, Christine, please don’t eat when your mic is on and stop being so interruptive.

Love this podcast and can’t hardly wait each week until a new episode is released. They have got me through so dark times with their commentary and interesting cases

Em and Christine are amazing, I have been listening for years and never want it to stop. They deliver their stories as if you are All in the room together. The banter is PERFECT and lets you capture exactly who these two amazing people are.

I’ve been listening to this podcast since 2018 and was once a loyal, weekly listener. It makes me a little sad to rate it a 3 instead of a 4 or 5, but the quality has shifted for me over time. The good: Christine is a fantastic storyteller with a fascinating personal life and clear passion for true crime. Her segment is consistently well-organized and engaging. If she hosted solo as a true crime podcast, this would be an easy 5-star rating. The not-so-good: Em’s stories and commentary have become increasingly disconnected and, frankly, hard to sit through. Their lack of focus and tendency to interrupt or miss key points from Christine’s stories can be frustrating. The paranormal stories also seem to have lost the spark they once had. The worst: I’ve attended two live shows and left both disappointed. There was no clear explanation of what to expect, and the format felt unstructured and underwhelming. I went in anticipating a blend of comedy, paranormal, and true crime - but got a disjointed show-and-tell about past ghost excursions instead. I truly wish the quality reflected the potential this show once had.

I lasted for 18 minutes of their blithering nonsense before I checked out.

Been listening for years and can’t believe I haven’t wrote a review. I love that it’s a perfect combination of spook and murder! You keep me company while at work and help the day pass faster.

I enjoy the banter and conversation in addition to the stories; it's like I'm there chatting with old friends. Some people may not like this, but there are plenty of alternatives if you don't care for this type of format (no need to leave an ugly, mean review). The hosts obviously put in a lot of work, in addition to their fabulous team. I think they are respectful towards difficult topics without being overly depressing, dismissive or blasé. For those complaining about "politics," as third-wave feminism informs, the personal IS political—Em and Christine don't exist in a vacuum, and the topics they cover often overlap with sociopolitical issues anyway. Apropos of none of the above, their storytelling is witty, detailed, and interesting. Listening to their show makes time fly by, plus brings me a lot of joy and laughter. Thank you Em and Christine for this gem of a podcast. 🩶

Just getting to E19 where they talk about the Homestead! VA resident here (raised in Arlington) and had my wedding there in 2019 and totally have an unexplainable event that happened to my friends the night of my wedding. Always love the friendly conversations and mentioning VA is awesome. Totally need to see if the Harper’s Ferry hotel has been renovated as I’m 7 years in the future from this episode. Lol

I just can’t with these two. They are clearly new to this and talk like ‘Oh muh gawwwwd!!!!’ I just got out of high school! Enough with the wine and milk shakes. Definitely not a podcast for anyone mature.

Love this podcast, but I freaking hate that they don’t put the topic in the episode title. Also, I say this with total love/ self-reflection/projection etc. Christine, you really need to work on not talking over Em so much. It can be pretty obnoxious. I am the same way so seeing this is also helping me see how annoying and disruptive I can be lol

I love the concept however the delivery isn’t direct. I try to jump to the story but it’s really so much banter. Also Em reminds me of the know-it-all Otho from Beetlejuice. I wanted to know more about John Gary but I had to listen to Em’s personal experience at a clown college. What a bozo!

I love Christine’s stories and she has the perfect podcast voice. Em kinda always sounds like she’s bored and doesn’t really capture my attention during her stories. Good podcast but I really just love Christine’s part. It’s very captivating and she sounds like she’s actually interested

Listen, I was in a dark place when I found this podcast listening to Em and Christine joke and laugh about things that would bring most people down brought my mental health up. Whenever it started to feel dark I would put on my headphones and laugh with them while others looked at me like im insane (because I am). Thank you so much Em and Christine love you guys! (also team milkshake because I can’t drink)

Alright i just finished episodes 1-141 now im switching to the YouTube . Much love from Detroit Mi🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽

I’ve been listening since day one and I love love love love this show. I genuinely look forward to new episodes on Sunday, but lately I haven’t been. Christine, I love your energy, but sometimes it feels like Em can’t get a full sentence out without getting cut off. I totally get being excited and having a thought you need to get out, but it super distracting when Em's trying to share something. It is no hate at all though! I’m still a huge fan, I just want to hear Em’s thoughts too.

I have been listening to this show for 5+ years. I have also been to see them on tour. I really do enjoy them but the last two years things have changed. I’m hanging in as a long time fan, and definitely encourage anyone new to start from the beginning as you’ll get hundreds of episodes to listen to and enjoy. My suggestion to the show is to stop going on rants and tangents. I don’t want to be 45 min in on my way to work to not even get in to the stories. Save that for the after chat stuff y’all do. Also, keep politics out of it. Is it your platform to do what you want, yes. But I hear enough of that everywhere else. This is meant to be for entertainment. Also, these weird “you may also like” episodes popping up…can we not? I want you to be successful but between regular ads and now these after each episode that pops up next is… frustrating. I feel like now what I come back each time to enjoy is 50% or less of what I am hearing with all of these extra things. Bring it back to what made the show great to begin with pleeeaaase.

I love the show but I was they would sick to the topics at hand. From the rants about there political beliefs and personal issues they have it gets really annoying. I also with that’s they would have gotten more polished as them been doing this for 5+ years know. Looks at rituals that is well put together and it’s them talking why can we get that here.

This is my all time favorite podcast! I’ve been listening since episode 60 came out, so so many years of this on the road, going to bed, and doing creative projects. Em and Christine are genuinely so funny, and their live shows are awesome 🙌

I don’t listen to podcasts often, but I adore this one. I’ve been listening to it in spurts for the last few years (usually on roadtrips) but lately I’ve been BINGING it. It’s been so fun to listen to in between writing (I’m writing a paranormal horror fantasy) and I’m on E47 at the moment. I ADORE Krampus and I’m so happy he got an episode. He’s a lil guy and I love krampus. Anyway, I love you guys so much!!! I can’t wait to get caught up lol🫶

stop pushing unrelated podcasts into my feed!

I love the show, I really do. I love listening to their stories and banter and have listened to them for years talk and grow, but the problem is how they speak about POC. I’m glad they talk about issues, and I’m glad they bring to light problems from the past. But it almost sounds like they have a white savior complex, they constantly talk about how white people ruin everything ( and don’t get me wrong they totally do) but it sounds almost condescending or like. I said, the white savior complex. I’ll still listen, but this is just a warning because I’m sure it’s annoying to some people.

I have been a listener nearly since the beginning. Christine’s negative tone and CONSTANT interruption of Em when they’re talking is frankly rude and makes this nearly impossible to listen to. Em was wanting to say something about the LA ICE situation and Christine would not let them get a word in and jumped in constantly. Em even said I had something prepared but got off track. Em’s story? Christine literally says something after EVERY half sentence Em says. Hey, you don’t need to talk or add something constantly. Not every thought you have needs to be spoken out loud. It feels tense, hard to follow, and she is so negative and draining. Em is too nice to not get frustrated because this would drive me up a wall.

I started listening to the podcast in May 2024. I started from episode 1 (yes, Em and Christine, I did start at the beginning because listening backwards would be so weird!) and now am through March 2025. I looked today and only have 11 episodes left to binge and honestly I’m so sad. One of my favorite podcasts of all time and I hope you guys get to 1000+ episodes 🫶🏼

I love listening to you both. The banter is great. Keep it up guys.

Enjoy Em. Christine - stop interrupting and narcissistic shame bragging. It's exhausting.

Hey Em!!!! Just want to say that Hank might be getting over stimulated at the dog park and a pack situation might be better for him! You should look into businesses that specialize in dog psychology with packs that Hank could join and that would fulfill him much better than a dog park!

I can’t get enough of this show. Saw them live in Portland and had the most lovely time. They’re the best

Chrissssss please honestly consider this; do you really think you’re getting high from delta 8? It’s an entire placebo that often leaves you with a headache! I’ve tried to reach out via IG but like thinking of eating delta 8 edibles makes me want to puke. Praying for you as a graduate with a degree in Horticulture as well as a certificate for cannabis growth from a real NYS university. I’m just praying for your brain as any cannabis lacking THC is trash as far as a high goes. Xoxox a seriously concerned fan!

For podcasters who are raking in the cash and seem to “talk” about making change, why are you not giving back? We don’t care about your knickknacks and such if you aren’t telling our money is going to good. Be like “Scared to Death”

Me and my mom get up at 5:00 to workout and listen to the podcast sorry Kristen I’m team milkshake Em i don’t know how we aren’t the same person you guys should play kiss\marry\kill with the people in the story’s I 💕 the podcast on a unrelated note I just turned 9 on June 12!! Hi I’m here to update my review!! Still team milkshake as I am almost 10!! My mom said that she’s gonna sit me down and have me talk about Jeremiah, my ghost bestie!! he used to be a boy I hung out with at daycare! I kinda forgot about him…😅😬😅 and my friend Abby has a ghost friend Jerry he always knocks down her posters. One night I was sleeping over at Abby’s and Jerry being Jerry woke me up to open the back door for him because he felt a weird feeling like someone was outside so I stood outside with him and there some tall dark figure I got my but back to the room and after I herd a few feint footsteps I told her parents then I woke up to Jerry trying to get me to go outside!!! Like erm?!? Ps. The only reason I sounded so chillaxed was because Abby warned me about him!! Love y’all!! ❤️❤️ Emma #teamilkshake

These two that preach being so open minded are the most judgmental! Not to mention that they have to constantly advertise their “poor health” and “anxiety” like it’s trendy. They hate men. Your terrible podcast is why I drink….

I love this pod and the hosts (and beloved pets) they are truly best friends and it makes the listen like sitting with your very own besties

I hate burritos and love tacos.

This show would be excellent if Christine wasn’t so self-obsessed and would stop interrupting Em.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this podcast! I just found it about a month ago, and currently on Ep36 (2017). I want so desperately to be caught up but it’s easy to be patient with all the amazing content. I laugh so hard sometimes that I need to pull over and regroup. I am Team Milkshake (if that’s even a thing in 2025), but I do so love Christine too. Thank you for being you… there’s not a thing I’d change about your older podcasts, and look forward to seeing how y’all evolve. Give Gio a BIG hug, please. He sounds like such a good boy! ♥️🥰

Hi ladies! I’m not one to write reviews usually but I have to say your show is so so good it is all I have been listening to & from work and whenever I have the chance, I do have a child she is 3 yrs old and so while she watches her cartoons I put my ears pods and listen to you and find my self laughing and she looks at me like I’m crazy! Anyway I love your show and I’m so so glad my coworker put me on to this! You guys are the greatest!!! ( I’m from Italy and I was wondering if there are any murder/ paranormal stories related to Italy , I would love for you to do them! ) Love yaaaa!

These two have managed to create a podcast about paranormal and true crime that feels like you’re listening to a story from friends. The best friend banter and love between these two keep you wanting more. I love the fact that as you listen through the episodes you get a glimpse into their lives and how two best friends have come together to create something amazing. Keep it up yall

i've been listening since 2022 and can't lie, this is the only podcast i still listen to!!!! it's hilarious, shocking, relatable and hosted by two incredibly empathetic and intelligent people. (despite all the self-deprecating jokes) if you love true crime or paranormal, or just anything spooky scary and a good laugh, i think you have just found the holy grail. love u em, christine, eva, olive, geo, junie, and lemon!!!!!

I’m listening in chronological order and just listened to ep207. I love it when Em interrupts Christine! Such good dialogue and theory building especially if the true crime is really a mind twister! ❤️❤️

the way em asked “what did you do today” and lil baby leona says “watching youtube”, just for both of them not know at all what she said. so freaking cute im losing it.

Hello! I JUST started listening to your podcast and have been binging for over a week while I’m at work, driving, and really any other time I have my ear buds in. I love your energy and please keep going! I’m only on episode 49 and look forward to listening to ALL the episodes. Y’all are great and provide laughs that are much needed. 💜

Hi guyss!! I am listening from beginning til now i know crazy im at episode 79 and i love youuu guys. I love listening to your growth and knowing where you guys are now truly amazing so proud! 💝💝 wait also want to add that you guys have me reacting in real time in publicc so imagine😂😂

I absolutely love this podcast, Em and Christine’s banter is everythingg. The chitchat before the stories is sometimes my favorite part, but each story always speaks to the spooky and true crime- loving parts of my soul. And I know Christine doesn’t normally read reviews, but please if you do, listen to me when I say you DO NOT interrupt too much and don’t you dare ever turn that beautiful spirit down. The way Em and Christine’s conversations and story telling ebb and flow with each other is what makes this show so spectacular. Keep being amazing, you two. Your podcast gets me through the sad days, the happy days, the boring days, and every day in between.

Cannot get enough of the banter between these two. I love them both. I love how they are so completely themselves and I love to hear them genuinely crack each other up. The stories are great and told so respectfully for victims and their families. If I end up a true crime story I want Funcle Em and Christine to tell it.

For the love of every one listening Christine. Stop interrupting, and shut up! This show used to be so good but EM can’t even get through a story without you literally interrupting her every two seconds. What you have to say half the time is not funny and has already been answered, but you interrupted so then everyone loses track and we have to listen to you rant about things that are already going to be said. Well, EM respectfully sits there lets you finish your stories. I’ve read other reviews and people are tired of it. Christine be quiet please.

I was taken to their pour decisions showing in Georgia by a friend and was instantly HOOKED. Been binging their podcast ever since!

I keep this podcast on repeat. Christine and Em are great storytellers and over the years I’ve fallen in love with them. If you don’t want to get to know your podcast hosts, this isn’t for you. But if you want to feel like you’re sitting with friends, these are the ghouls for you
