Really, really entertaining and enlightening. I love the hosts banter as well!
Though the stories of these crimes, mysteries and crazy folklore can be horrifying, the hosts are genuine down to earth. I love when they banter, talk about their lives while telling stories of sometimes awful things. My partner turned me onto the podcast a few years back and I was hooked immediately, as a former new englander, they remind me of family. I’ve since went back through the catalog and listened to every show in order and have been caught up since. Love the show, love the “Mini morbid” song! Great show!!!

Talking
Talking to much about nothing

Changed My Mind
Episodes are very well researched. Used to enjoy them in spite of the irrelevant beginning banter which I tolerated. They turned me off with applying today’s social norms to behavior from decades ago. Say it once and it’s valid. Going on and on like harpies became annoying. And yet I still persisted. Insulting half the country with your political views and I’m out. Deleted the app.

Listen to Mr. Ballen
If you enjoy the stories, but absolutely despise the political liberal-fest of white women, listen to Mr. Ballen. Stories without the gabfest that is “morbid”.

Why don’t you cater to ME?!
Just kidding. The bulk of the most recent reviews are hilarious. People wanna hear about crime and not politics? Imma let you in on a secret…the two topics are not just related but in fact very much intertwined. If you don’t know that then I’m sorry your school system clearly failed you. My one critique is that they don’t get off track enough. You guys should make fun of each other when the other says a word weird because I think that’s hilarious and it’s very important that you cater to ME, the only person in the world.

Ehhh
They talk to much about nothing

Intelligence, non-existent
At this point you just want to drop Fbombs for no reason other than to appear cool. You both are a little low on the intelligence quotient. Also, stop over dramatizing your editorials. State your opinion ONCE, not multiple times using different words. Another podcast with two white girls pretending to be cool.

Had to amend my original 5star review to 1star
Too much chit-chat. Blabbing for 20+ minutes at the beginning of every show is tiresome. You barely let Joshua Homme get a word in edgewise. Pretty sad, when you consider his fame, fortune, talent and intelligence will never be matched by you lot, even combined. That episode confirmed that this is not the show it once was. Au revoir… (Ash, stop trying so hard. Laughable.)

Lovely
I’ve been listening to these girls for years and I look forward to their episodes every week to hear what’s going on in their life as well as listen to them tell stories. I feel like they are my friends, and I adore them 💕

Just no
Just discovered this podcast. I really tried to get past all the giggling and nonsensical banter. Then they inserted politics. I'm gone.

Use your platform to make a difference
Love the podcast but you guys should use your platform to talk the Morbid crimes going on in Gaza rn

The worst podcast ever
N/A…!
Ummm
Tried giving this a chance. 10 minutes in and they haven’t started the story yet. They’re talking about themselves and their pets….?

Used to be my favorite but they’ve completely lost the plot
This podcast used to be one of my favorites. The hosts do thorough research, tell stories well, and have a great way of diving into true crime cases. But unfortunately, over the past several months, the show has shifted—and not for the better. They’ve increasingly made passive-aggressive political comments, which I tried to ignore because the content was still strong. But the most recent comment crossed a line for me. The hosts made a direct political statement claiming that people who came into the country illegally have “every right to be here” as U.S. citizens and those who came legally. That’s not just a political opinion—it’s a slap in the face to the immigrants who spent time, money, and years going through the legal process the right way. It was tone-deaf and completely inappropriate for a true crime podcast. What’s worse is that they seem unaware that a large portion of their audience is likely conservative—or at the very least, not aligned with that worldview, given the fact that the election was won by a landslide and many voted differently than the podcast hosts. This isn’t a political podcast, so inserting personal ideology into the narrative feels disrespectful and alienating to longtime listeners. On top of that, episodes have gotten SO bloated. Tangents go on for five or more minutes at a time, repeating the same point over and over. I’ve caught myself saying, “Okay, we get it,” more than once. The content used to feel tight and focused; now it often drags. It’s disappointing to see a show with such potential let politics and rambling take priority over the core of what made it great. But hey, it is their show and they can do what they want. I hope they course-correct, but for now, I’m unsubscribing

Speaking of book reviews
Ash and Alaina, first of all let me start by saying that I have listened to every single episode of y’all’s. I’m a morbid fanatic if there’s a title for it. You guys have absolutely gotten me through some of the worst times and I couldn’t thank you both enough! I’m so glad that there’s a pair out there that makes so many of us weirdos feel seen and heard! In the beginning of the episode, you were speaking about books and your likes and reviews. I have a good friend of mine who writes horror and is self published. He’s on Amazon if you were ever so interested in checking him out, his name is Miguel Estrada and he has a handful of books such as Seven Sins and heaven’s Peak, which is by far one of my favorites from him! Just a little shout out for a not so big name who I think deserves more recognition! Miguel came from Venezuela almost 8 years ago and has been crushing his dreams ever since! If you do read any of his work please let me know how you liked!

Stop the teenage bantering
I love the factual part of this podcast but the teenage who are high bantering and giggling is so annoying. They sound like teenagers in a basement which is a shame because their facts are truly on point. I’m giving it a few more episodes, hopefully they “grow up”.

True Crime Only Please
I absolutely love the actual stories. However, if I wanted to hear about politics, I would watch the news. I want to listen and escape the world.

Speak up about Palestine.
Why? Why do you never speak about it? How can you discuss starvation without disclosing that there’s currently starving people in Gaza and in Sudan. I’ve been listening since 2021 but I think this is it for me. Please speak up.

Looooove 🖤
I discovered this podcast a few years back,& it has been my sanity as I drive all over town for work. They keep the road rage at bay,& give me laughs throughout my workday. Lovely ladies with kind hearts.

Love, love ,love
I have seen many comments talking about the way people hate the banter of the hosts, as well as the thinking of their political views. Just here to say that I enjoy learning about them and the thought they have on these criminals.
A person who loves morbid
If i get murdered, i want them to cover it.
I’m not sure what these other comments are on about but i can feel their misery through the screen! I love love LOVE this podcast. my mom put me onto it and i’ve been listening ever since! i’ve even listened to the very first podcasts when i run out of new ones to listen to. They are absolutely hilarious and even though they give personal comments, it’s agreeable and relatable. i literally have vocal stims from them. if you wanna listen to a podcast where it feels like your otp with a friend and their just spilling all the new knowledge they learned, this is the place for you!

Like Hanging out with Morbid Friends
It honestly feels like I’m sitting at a table listening to a pair of my besties talk about the spookier side of life. The extra chatter doesn’t bother me, if anything it’s a plus! I look forward to every new episode and am enjoying catching up on older seasons. 10/10

Fan forever!!!
Thank you both for this podcast! I love, love, looooooove it & you!!! ☺️☺️☺️ You’re my favorite!!!!

Love the show!
I’ve been listening for years now and love it! Some shows just aren’t for people so if you want just straight facts and no commentary then this isn’t for you but I however do enjoy the commentary! Also to anyone complaining about not being able to listen to this in the car with their kid cause they swear to much… maybe you shouldn’t let them listen cause it’s true crime… Overall great show with great host!

Dangit!
Trying for a second time to listen to this podcast bc I do like banter, but its still just too much. Its not just. Banter, its a giggle or laugh or joke or song or something goofy after every single sentence. If I was a victim or related to a victim of these stories, it just feels disrespectful.

Sad to say I’m done
I’ve been a listener for years. I have recommended this podcast to dozens of people, but I’m so disappointed to say I’m done. I homeschool my 5 children and was just compared to a bumbling idiot criminal who represents themself in court. I realize I’m not a perfect mom or teacher, but I do everything I can to lead, teach, and parent my kids with love, patience, and kindness. I learn with and from my kids. Sometimes I have to say “I don’t know. Let’s do some research.” No, I didn’t go to college to be a teacher, but I can tell you I love my students and respect them more than a random teacher would. That’s not a slight to teachers! I know they dedicate their lives to strangers kids and put their lives on the line for them daily. I respect teachers and admire their commitment to education. All that to say, I find it incredibly offensive to be told that I’m equal to some criminal just because I’m staying at home with my children to give them the individualized education that they deserve.

Just Some Random Mom
Love this podcast
I do wish the show description for each episode would include the time they start talking about the case. Some days I just don’t want the chatter before the case details. Otherwise, fabulous job and love listening weekly!

Terrible, left leaning moronic babble
Save your time. Take a nap. Schedule a root canal rather than listen to this garbage. These geniuses have zero awareness of what actual American citizens believe; maybe their “clan” or whatever resides lock step with their rants, but I would venture to say that most Americans DO NOT. Your head will hurt from the dumb things these two say. You’ve been warned. 2/10.

Stick to the facts
The whole show is them making personal comments that distract from the show. It could be good if it was professionally done. They need to significantly reduce the editorial comments.

Easy 8hrs straight on a tractor
Will always recommend. I’ve been listening for a year now. When I found podcasts, it was a game changer for sitting in a tractor all day and nights and buttcrack early mornings. I am very picky of what I listen to. The way these ladies interact, their personalities, their vibe, content, incredible research, respect and have yet to encounter politic talk (I hope that never comes) … I am not lying when I say that even on my very hardest days when I can barely function, or am so over everything, these ladies make me laugh out loud, smile, and keep my ADHD racing mind engaged for hours. Podcasts are silly sometimes but these ladies are a real treasure….

ok
While I enjoy their stories, they don't seem to have personalities of their own. When one says something quirky or funny, the other one repeats it. This happens multiple times per episode and gets annoying.

Crime with Your 2 Best Friends
If I could only listen to one podcast a day, it would hands down be Morbid. This show is the perfect mix of true crime, storytelling, and personality. Ash and Alaina manage to bring humor and heart to even the darkest cases, and they do it with deep respect for the victims. I’ve listened to a lot of podcasts over the years, but Morbid is by far the one I’ve enjoyed the most. It’s my go-to for long drives, late nights, or anytime I want to feel like I’m hanging out with two incredibly smart, funny friends. I can’t recommend it enough. If you’re not already listening, you’re seriously missing out.

Too much random talk
Good crimes and stories, good voices but we are here to listen to crime not your lives. Wayyy too much talking. Make another podcast for that
More True Crime!!
February 22 is Pisces season

It’s bananas!
I am amazed! This podcast is now my favorite. I am so glad I have found you wonderful lovelies!!! I love your silliness, your banter and how captivating you guys are. Everyone who complains about you makes me so angry! The apologies that you feel obligated to give make me feel so awful. Anyone who enjoys true crime knows that this stuff is serious and you have to get through it one way or another. Please never stop!

Every other word is a swear
So annoying that they cannot stop swearing. I can’t listen to this in the car with my kids because my son will just copy whatever he hears. Can’t we think of other words because the f word? It takes away from the story and makes them sound trashy. Over it

Long time listener, first time reviewer
I’ve been listening to Morbid for years! They’ve definitely changed throughout their time but who among us hasn’t changed in the last 7 years? I love knowing that they are concerned about what is going on in our world and am so thankful for their care and compassion. I also LOVE the banter. Please never stop the banter.
bluemxgic
Absolutely love the podcast
But very upset that we didn’t get to hear the recording of the Glove Guy’s message! OMG y’all built it up so much!! Waaaah I wanna hear it! Don’t mind the banter at all. If I don’t have time or am not interested I can mash the fast forward 30 sec button several times. THANK YOU for speaking out occasionally about the state of this country. What others call “politics” is a crisis that is affecting our lives seriously.

My favorite podcast
I’ve never watched much true crime because I had a loved one who was murdered when I was in high school. It hit too close to home. But Ash and Alaina do such a great job that I can listen too it and truly enjoy it. Plus, as a bonus, Imlearn how to not get murdered from them. Fresh air is for dead people. Love you ladies. Keep up the great work. Thank you for making such interesting stories more palatable for me.

The side commentary is too much
People rave about this show. I’m not sure I get it. The hosts go off topic too much

Vibe Check
These reviews passed the vibe check. I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who felt that the politics were ridiculous. We get it, we don’t care. We all have opinions… if we wanted to listen to politics we would choose a political podcast. Also, most people don’t agree with you. Further, and here’s the kicker… if you’ve listened to most all the episodes you can tell the evolution of these two went from neutral to racist pretty effortlessly. I think the two of them are incredibly racist and hiding behind fake politics. Thought so for years. So there ya go. You can stop now, we’re on to you.

My cup of tea :)
Maybe a few years ago they weren’t as political, but times change. If you want a podcast without banter or opinions…go somewhere else. God forbid they talk about their own feeling on their *own* podcast. But, if you’re looking for a podcast that’s educational, entertaining, spooky, and well produced — this is the pod for you! Their laughs are contagious. The stories are engaging. The facts are well researched. The spooky vibes are spooky. 10/10 would recommend.

Garbage
So much listener tales. If there is an actual episode it’s plagiarized. Straight trash these days.

Insurance
It was very common when I flew for the first time in 1967. Not surprised there was a vending machine in a small airport, but from bigger hub airports, there was usually a counter with an actual salesperson. I flew with my folks & 3 sibs to Ireland. My mother insisted on buying it in case 1 or more of us survived a crash…I was 7! (Check out the 1st Airport disaster movie it really was a thing).

They may not be a fan of summer, but they are still the best parts of my week!
I’ve been a loyal listener for a long time and have witnessed the evolution of their banter. Initially, they limited it, but gradually, they’ve gotten back to their usual lively conversations. I particularly enjoy the fun talk at the beginning; it’s relatable and enjoyable, aside from their occasional complaints about summer. 😂That’s what truly annoys me! However, once they overcome that phase, we’re back to our enjoyable kiki and storytelling sessions. I understand that some people prefer to skip ahead to the stories, so I suggest that the girls consider adding a time stamp for those who want to skip. (I’m not sure if that’s possible, but it’s worth a thought.) Regardless, keep up the great work! You’re all fun and tell incredible stories. 🩶🖤

Getting Political?
Do you MAGA’s commenting on this podcast over politics understand that your politics directly affect the ladies, especially Ash? Why wouldn’t they speak up on something as important as their right to exist? Coming to a true crime podcast to complain because the hosts hurt your feelings because their opinions reflect how they are treated by people like you—and its a huge sign of privilege to give someone one star just because they are commenting on the insanity that is affecting us all right now.
