The podcast used to be really good and I couldn’t wait to listen. I even paid for wondery+ so I could get the early release episodes! But man… you girls egos have gotten so big that it sure feels like you have forgotten about the true people who loved to listen to you! Have you ever thought to ask how many of us fast forward through the ongoing banter at the beginning? Or the bashing of religious beliefs, or who skips the listener tales, or maybe even doesn’t actually want to hear about the book you’ve written for the 9 millionth time? There is a point when we just want to go back to the OG way it used to be, and maybe put the ego on simmer. We love you, we love that you love you, now move along and talk crime!

Too much unrelated, and unnecessary, chatting.

I love the story telling, but I loooove the banter. Like without it, I’m just listening to a bunch of dark content and it’s super heavy so I appreciate the back and forth. Plus, their jokes are like ones I would make with my friends so like, find your people- they’re out there!

I kept seeing this pop up in my browse section so decided to give it a try. All I can say is “wow” and not in a good way. If you want to hear two women use a multitude of trendy words and phrases (the reviewer who mentioned “diabolical” gets it), constant social justice rants, and Christian bashing (which is honestly crazy that you believe in ghosts and demons but can’t entertain the thought of a higher power lol), while also capitalizing on other people’s tragedies with lazy research and mispronunciations of names and places galore, then this is the podcast for you.

I started listening to Morbid because of one specific episode about The Demon house. I ended up loving their personalities and just funny sisterly banter that I’ve started from episode one from 2018. Now I listen to an episode every morning on my walks or routines! Love how funny, and interesting the stories are!

I used to love this podcast. The listener tales are a particular favorite of mine, but their constant interruptions to go off on unrelated tangents, giggling for 10 minutes over the way one of them says a name or a word, and now the schpiels on Nicholas, makes it so that I have not been able to finish any episode that’s come out in the past six months. My recommendation would be to spend however long you want chit chatting at the beginning of the episode, and then actually stick to the stories your listeners are sending you. Constantly interrupting these stories feels incredibly disrespectful to the people sending them. You could even outline on the episode descriptions at what point in time you actually begin the listener tales. That way people can choose to listen to what they want to listen to and the listener tales can get told in a fluid and coherent manner. Or maybe edit your episodes and have the wondery+ ones contain all of our chatter. There’s tons of options out there to keep you listeners happy. From reading the recent reviews, it seems a lot of people feel the same way.

Listened for the first time. Had to ff almost 15 minutes to get to the topic and past their inane blathering. The gratuitous f-word dropping is annoying. Won’t listen again.

I love listening to you guys so much! Y’all get me through my 12hour night shifts and I’m so thankful for it. My momma is the one that introduced me to you fine ladies. I love how you both can take something so awful and still make it as light as you can but stay respectful. You’re some strong women. I love you ladies so much! Thank you for everything you do and keep up the banter!

Good at story telling but don’t need to diss Christianity so much

Love listening to this show but tooo much banter! So many episodes could be done in one episode if they don’t go on and on about nonsense!!!

I started listening to Podcasts only about two years ago. My son in law suggested Morbid. There is not another I would rather listen to. I understand the importance of ranting and talking about the things going on in their lives. This makes them relatable and allows the listener to be a part of the relationship between the two. And it’s okay to talk about all the good things in one’s life, it helps others know it’s okay to toot your own horn. Please never change the format and NEVER stop the podcast.

I started listening to this when I started my job that I’ve been at the past year and I have to say you ladies have gotten me through countless long work days. Your topics interest me & your banter makes me laugh every time. Don’t listen to the haters- you all are doing the da4m thing! Congratulations on your success I hope to meet you both one day😇

I love everything you guys do lolll please never stop ranting I love to hear yall opinions!

These two marvelous ladies have been my solace and comfort throughout a lot of trials and tribulations in my life over the past two years. I have always enjoyed the passion for true crime, the compassion for victims and the silly whimsy and kindness that they bring! You have no idea how important you are to me and my psyche. Mad love always!

I’ve been a morbid listener since day one. I’ve tried so many other podcasts but this is the only one I fall back on. It’s my comfort podcast for real. Keep doing your thing girlies and never quit or else I won’t know what to do with myself

I used to love Morbid and would listen every time a new episode dropped- I love their story telling. But listening to them blab on tangents and trash Christianity constantly has pushed me away. If you’re not religious, that’s your choice but crapping on the religion of a portion of your followers is a good way to lose them. ✌🏻

This podcast is perfect if you want to hear some spooky stories. Not only does it cover true crime, but they are extremely respectful about how they talk about it. They keep it lighthearted but serious and keep me interested. They are hilarious and their voices are so soothing. I listen every single day while i’m driving, folding laundry,or just going to target. Love you queens!

I dig the whole morbid vibe but the one chick always bragging about her book..lame. The whole speech issue is triggering. I get you’re full of yourself but you are also alone.

I have been a faithful listener of Morbid since 2019! I’m sorry for the rush of seemingly bot reviewers, since if you have ever listened to the podcast you’d know the host political lens and deep rooted empathy for others. So excited for your new chapter!!

I love listening to this podcast. And I will say as a long time listener- I love the chit chat. I feel like I’m listening to my friends. Some people complain about that but there are plenty of murder podcasts out there. Do not change!

Generally, I like the podcast, but I cannot stand that after everything the one host says - the other has to chime in with a phrase affirming that she just spoke. “Yeah!” “Dawp!” “Okay?” - it’s constant! The person telling the story can hardly get through a sentence without the other one saying something. I understand you want us to know you’re listening, but I promise, we don’t need this much.

plzzz stop going on 5 minute rants about your own personal beliefs when this is supposed to be simply covering true crime. I mean it’s okay to hint at where you stand but like …. The rants are so unnecessary and uncomfortable to listen too

I’ve heard of this podcast and I’m not sure why I never gave it a listen, but I’m so happy I did this time! I was looking to hear a story on a documentary that was referred to me and this was the only one that came up now I’m five episodes deep and I’ve spent the whole day with you ladies! I can’t wait to listen to more!

They started a recent episode saying people email them all the time asking them to talk more at the beginning of the episodes. If they read their own reviews they would see they have a 4.4 because people actually don’t want to hear their opinions of movies, books, and other irrelevant drivel so these two can hear their own voices longer. Listen to your own reviewers not your desire to hear your own voices

Victim blaming, trans bashing. Ignoring victims’ families concerns. Blatantly ignoring facts- to the point where survivors have felt the need to comment/review the inaccuracy of how they treated their case. Truly shameful.

I used to be a avid listener of this podcast, but in the last few years, they have gotten way too political and started bashing or Christian views and religion. I’m not sure where that has all came in into play, but it makes it very unpleasant to now. This is one of the last podcast I come to for when the other ones run out of episodes.

I’ve been listening for about a year and it’s so good. Look forward to hearing these beautiful babes and their voices. Each episode is told with respect and truth. They also support other podcasts and have made many great recommendations that I also still listen to! Love love!

I honestly tried to listen to this podcast multiple times. I tried various episodes through different time periods, but I just couldn’t get engaged. Some episodes took more than 10 minutes to actually get into the real story. Then it’s mostly giggly chatter and sidebars. One episode where they talk about a hotel in Arkansas, they spent more time fangirling over the fact that the staff at the hotel follows their show than actually talking about the hotel itself. I truly wanted to like this podcast, but I can’t keep dashing myself again this rock.

I love these two brilliant women and their story telling. One thing to note, as a gay man I applaud them on their practical and open-minded analogies. In the first episode of the Randy Kraft series they have over 4 minutes of brilliant anti-gay rants that everyone needs to hear on every segment of media today. Thank you both for sticking up for the LGBTQIA community! I love you guys!!! You my soul! ❤️❤️❤️

Always liked this podcast but it’s getting very annoying to listen to. I think they’ve used the word “diabolical” 100 times in one episode.

You’re awesome! I have been listening to you ladies since the Pandemic. I love the banter betwixt you both. It makes me miss my two sisters less! Sweet comfort! As I am starting your latest about a Cali serial killer, Caroline Fraser came to mind. She wrote about some fascinating theories on serial killers and how their environment may have affected their behavior. Give her a ring!

Hope you fix your sound, each podcast is different. Couldn’t ever hear y’all in your live show. But love your show.

I really enjoy your show. Please keep politics out. I’m not saying I agree or disagree. This is the reason why I don’t listen or watch the news. Thanks in advance. Keep up the good work.

SO good! Fantastic storytellers. 10/10.

So I started as a SSDGM fanatic ..you all are fantastic and thank you for digging in - I think your podcast adds value and tremendous entertainment for us...and your coordinating with other programs like 2 girls 1 ghost …thanks and Grady Hendrix wowsa

Hi I’ve been listing for several years and I’m from the land of serial killers, Indiana. With Dean Corll and others from here but anyway I love this podcast! I listen to this podcast since 2020 when I was doing online college and it this the only thing that could help me focus and I am sending lots of love!

Morbid- where true crime takes a back seat to ghost stories, century-old cases, and whatever Wondery money feels like paying for. If you’re here for fresh, well-researched true crime, prepare to be disappointed. In the last three years, they’ve managed maybe one case from this decade. The rest are ghost stories, century-old murders, and listener tales that sound more like bad fiction. Episodes take weeks to drop and half the time it’s something completely unrelated, like an author interview. The older, actually good episodes are gone. The research feels lazy, the content is stale, and it’s clear they have their Wondery paycheck so keeping it sharp isn’t a priority.

As a hardcore true crime junkie, I thought I’d heard it all… until Ash & Alaina waltzed into my ears like two hilarious, morbid fairy godmothers of murder. Their chemistry is unreal — part best-friend banter, part razor-sharp research, all wrapped up in those perfectly creepy tag lines that make me grin like I shouldn’t. I started from episode one and I’m now 159 deep (plus the newest ones because patience is NOT my virtue), and honestly, every single case has me glued. This show is binge-worthy, unique, and so well-researched it makes me feel like I’m part of their weird little family. Keep it Weird… but not so weird you leave them a bad review just to be petty!

I dont know how anyone enjoys this. They spend ten minutes chattering about nonsense instead of just telling the story. It’s clearly a time filling technique, which might actually work if they were entertaining.

i dunno when the last time some of you read a dictionary was, but it’s their podcast and they can say whatever you want. just don’t listen if you hate their politics, but also they’re allowed to talk about whatever they want and if you don’t like that, make your own podcast. not like it would ever be as successful as this, though. but please please please listen to morbid if you’re on the fence about it! it really feels friendly, like you’re having a conversation with someone you know. 10/10 🩷

Love the show don't get me wrong, but feeling a bit robbed that I just bought a year subscription (to save $, ha) to Wondery + specifically for Morbid just to hear today that as a 9/1 Morbid leaves Wondery and I'm 3 months into a year subscription. If I'd known this sooner, I would have saved my $50.

You should start a separate podcast for discussing illegal immigration and other political topics you want to cover.

I listen to the episodes all day and even go to sleep. Ha weird I go to sleep to it. I started from the first episode and now in 2020 episodes. I love them I have laughed, cried, and became so angry with what I’ve heard. They cover the stories so well and they are amazing.

Day by day this show becomes more about biased politics and less about true crime. Over for me

In a time of unbelievable dystopian horrors, this podcast is the medicine we all need! Thanks for your hard work and hilarious hot takes! All the haters need to do something constructive like…stop supporting fascist tacos! LOL

I tried so hard to like this podcast but I end up having to skip through half of it to avoid constant opinion and personal chatter

I have listened since the beginning. You literally got me through Covid! Your vibe together is great. Don’t change a thing, don’t listen to the idiots who don’t like your politics (they are just mad you are calling the insanity out), and keep swearing. Love that you are authentic and real. You make listening so fun.

Based on the titles and summary blurbs of the episodes, the topics and stories seem like they would be very interesting. However the “dose of comedy” thrown in takes up a significant portion of the show, and is unfortunately more cringeworthy than comedic. For example, in the Nutty Putty cave episode, after already taking about caves for 20 minutes, Ash interjects, “wait so you’re just like, inside the earth?!” Almost as if this is her first time hearing about what a cave is. Hard to tell if the comedic intent is forced, or if maybe the hosts’ upstairs is a bit too cavernous. Either way, this show unfortunately drops the ball on both storytelling and attempts at humor.

If y’all haven’t seen the Dollar General Halloween RUN! I bought so much cute, cheap decor! I already decorated for Halloween, cause how could I buy stuff and store it away?! (Wish I could share a pic on here! Check out the ghost blowing a bubble 👻⚪️🩷) ~Violet Heer

I look forward to listen tales most. The cadence of when these ones come out over the years went from just right, to too much, to not enough. Every other week felt like the sweet spot.
