Love you both and the show is great, but the ads are too much!

I’ve been listening to this duo for a while now, at least a few years. And for the most part, I agree with their takes. I think it’s only appropriate to get political when involving crimes against minorities and pointing out the very real flaws in the justice system. They do joke around but they never disrespect victims. However, I do have to knock off two stars. One for the situation involving I Think Not and one for liking Taylor Swift. In the words of Gillian, barf.

This used to be my favorite, but it’s hard to listen to now. For 2 people who go to such great lengths to be “correct” it’s ok to generalize various groups over and over. For such a “heavily moderated” Facebook group, there’s an entire thread bashing Nancy Grace’s physical appearance. I thought we were supposed to be lifting other women up? I guess these rules only apply to people they like. Patrick frequently saying “it’s not about you, girl”, while making everything about himself. This podcast is hypocrisy at it’s best!

I’m not a genius but I with the ‘Perfect bid’ wouldn’t it be risky to round up and not down? Because even if you go over by a dollar you lose?! Also it’s not cheating - he just had an incredible skill (very few people have) and the show makes plenty of money they can afford to have one big win now and then. They probably don’t even Pat for the prizes because the companies get free advertising.

…And TCO ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Y’all… I don’t hand out 5 stars like free samples at Costco, but TCO deserves a whole dang Costco-sized pack of them. 🫖😂 First off, Gillian (yes, with a G — GGILLIAN if you’re fancy) and Patrick are basically the peanut butter and jelly of podcasting. 🥜🍇 They will have you laughing so hard you’ll either pee a little (no judgment, we’ve all been there) or people will look at you sideways in public. And to all the Christian folks who wanna judge this podcast, NEWSFLASH: judgment ain’t yours to hand out. 🙅🏼‍♀️ If you don’t like it, keep scrolling. If you do, shout it from the rooftops like I do because these two are podcast GOLD. ✨🎙️ Patrick’s squeal = my new ringtone. 📱🐷 Jillian’s sass = soul sister vibes. 💁🏼‍♀️🔥 I swear we’d be besties IRL. I’ve already told everyone and their momma about this show. Also, bonus points for loving Hamilton.. same, bestie, SAME. 🎭 Keep doing what y’all are doing because your banter is pure serotonin. Can’t wait to drop my own podcast, Redneck Cinderella, and join y’all in the sassy life chronicles. 👠🐓 #TeaTimeLOL #PodcastAddict #SassyGirlsUnite #PatrickSquealFanClub

Not sure what it is and I wish I could but this show has changed. Personally when they started making ads for a gambling site was both shocking and absurd. Vitamin ads for who knows what? Thanks but no thanks. To be so judgmental about “people having to do better” is laughable when they have no problem talking about Dr. Drew and “not looking him up”.

I am surprised by most negative reviews. I have loved TCO for 4 years! It’s my go-to and I love them both!

Used to be obsessed and love this show. Just listened to the Lady in the Dunes ep and Gillian and Patrick could not be more apologetic and empathic for a child murderer, Hadden Clark. They’re more concerned with being correct in gracefully saying the murderer’s mental health conditions than the actual fact that he brutally murdered two children. I’m done with this show and they’re overdoing it on being correct and over-sensitive. As Gillian would say, byyyeeeee and barf.

I’ve really enjoyed listening to Patrick and Gillian. They are witty and have great perspectives when it comes to true crime cases. I was listening to the Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky case they discus. They talk about several conservatives who they don’t like. They even go to the lengths of saying they thank God Rush Limbaugh is dead. This is completely out of line!! I’m a conservative and don’t care about anyone else’s political beliefs. But to say you’re glad someone is dead just because they don’t agree politically is just horrible! I wish Patrick and Gillian would stick to the point and leave the politics out their podcast.

I use to love this show. Now it’s so problematic… especially after learning how terrible of a person Patrick is. I also can’t listen to Gillian screaming anymore.

Still my favorite!

The worst kind of libtard social justice warriors!

Patrick loves hearing himself so much why does he allow anyone else to share the mic lol

This awesome show is unfortunately underrated. It’s awesome, and I could listen to this for days and never be bored

I love you guys. Gillian— definitely potatoes in pierogis :’) proud of you guys for supporting polish food either way! Long long time listener. So happy when episodes drop. You guys are hilarious!

Bbhj

Once upon a time, this was a comedy podcast. Gillian has become so angry you’d think she’s being FORCED to do this podcast. They used to recap a documentary and goof on the cheesy production values or over the top copy. Now, each podcast is just a jumping off point for Gillian to yell about different things that she finds objectionable, but in a way that seems intended just to show how morally superior she considers herself to be. It was fun while it lasted but the magic is gone.

Love it, they are so cute ❤️❤️❤️ the only bones I have to pick are that they like taylor swift 🤢

I really wanted to like this podcast and gave it a few listens to be fair. Unfortunately, the format feels chaotic and hard to follow. I’m not sure why the hosts are always yelling - I actually had to double-check that I wasn’t accidentally playing it at 1.75x speed. For context, I typically listen at 1.25x or even 1.5x if a show moves slowly. I had to drop this one down to 0.75x, and even then, it still felt like rushed rambling. The energy just wasn’t enjoyable, and the delivery distracted from the storytelling. Luckily, there are plenty of other true crime podcasts that offer the same kind of vibe they’re aiming for - just with a lot more polish and a lot less shouting.

I used to love the show!!! And I still love, Patrick!!! However I cannot sit through Gillian anymore, she is insufferable and I feel bad that Patrick has to deal with her.

Love the show; love y’all! Love how victim-focused TCO is. My brother got me and my sister into the pod a couple of years ago, and I’m glad he did. Thank you!

This is my second time listening to the ENTIRE podcast. Gillian & Patrick find a way to bring levity in the darkest of corners. I constantly find myself laughing out loud at Patrick’s shenanigans and Gillian’s “bits”. They are so talented & compassionate. Also, I have to say that it was Patrick’s laugh that initially sucked me in. 10/10!

7/31/25: every now and then I think about this pod and how much I used to absolutely LOVE it. It’s sad that so many of us were conned by really bad people. Third: Updating today so the review stays fresh. Second revision: I had been a fan for years. Traveled to NY and Philly for live shows. Ohio for Obsessed Fest. Spent money on Merch. Shared the podcast with friends and with other Facebook groups. Absolutely disappointing to hear that podcasters who coined “don’t be garbage,” had stock in the sanitation company. The idea of women supporting women has been echoed throughout the podcast for years. That’s laughable now to have read how you treated other network hosts. Original: Downgrading my rating. Your listeners should be able to hear what’s going on at the network.

Listening to these two non-Black individuals detail their feelings as it relates to the AstroWorld tragedy, I realized that a lot of their takes are from a place of judgement and rooted in a lack of research or true understanding. I would hope the two hosts work on their tone and delivery and also take into account it is easier to say what you would’ve/could’ve/should’ve done in a scenario that they themselves describe as inevitable to occur. I had to stop listening and completely unfollow them when I heard too many comments that I personally could not justify.

Gillian has become insufferable. Also, SOOO much hypocrisy. They preach one thing and their ads scream something else. Sell out much?

Sad name drop trying to link herself to Ice T, has no idea why he’s called that, hint: It was his pimp name. I didn’t even have to give it a goog.

I’ve been listening to this podcast for years!!! But lately all Gillian does is yell, repeat herself and unfortunately it’s not a comedy anymore I understand it’s hard to cover true crime but you used to make it fun Do yourself a favor listen to grizzly man and then listen to any of the new episodes and you will see the difference I’m sad to go but it’s not enjoyable anymore

Updated review: The change is in the overall vibe and connection between audience and hosts almost like a “you can’t sit with us” vibe, where it used to be such a relaxed, silly, safe space.

It’d be great if they would stop with the nonessential political lamenting and stick to the crime narrative.

Patrick and Gillian make my day better. I love how they joke and play off of each other and they are the funniest around.

Mark Goodyear is my latest fave. Bikram shouting yoga commands is my all time fave. Love the show!

I love true crime podcasts and stumbled across TCO and I’m so glad I did. I absolutely love Patrick’s laugh and Gillian you are so quick with the great commentary you say what im thinking in a more articulate way or make me think of something differently in the best way. The combo of Patrick and Gillian comments, jokes , relating stories is the best. I had to go all the way back to the start and now I’m almost done with beginning through 2020. Only 4.5 more years for me to catch up and then it’s the Pates to hear the rest of the episodes. Keep it up, I love your podcast. You make me smile every time I listen if not outright laughing. You two are the best!!!!

I just randomly came a crossed your podcast and I’m obsessed! Haha I absolutely love you guys and your vib! You 2 together just makes my day and you personalities just makes me have a better day! Keep shining!!!!

As someone who loooved this show for years, Patreon subscriber and everything, it has become almost completely insufferable to listen to. I take breaks for a few months and then will return, only to find more yelling, more bad takes, lack of research, generalizations, and the pot totally calling the kettle black. The virtue signaling is tiresome and there is so much more negativity and harshness. Surprisingly I still like Patrick for the most part as he at least comes off authentic, but I just don’t think I can handle this show anymore. Unfortunately it’s becoming a theme with podcasts now a days and I’m gonna have to unfollow.

I have been listening for years now. TCO is my happy place. They also have a Facebook group where the fam can chat. Great podcasters, listeners, and community!

I’ve been a loyal listener—and even a Patreon supporter—for nearly a decade. This show used to be the highlight of my day, making me laugh out loud during commutes and prompting me to recommend it to everyone I knew. I even went to a live show solo and had an absolute blast. But over the last couple of years, something has shifted—and not in a good way. The chemistry that once made the show so special feels strained now. Patrick seems to be doing his best to keep the energy up, but Gillian doesn’t meet him halfway, and the tension between them has become impossible to ignore. It doesn’t feel like friendship anymore—it feels like obligation. It’s been tough to admit, but I think it’s time for me to unsubscribe. I’ll always appreciate the laughter and the good years, but the magic is gone.

I listen to this show everyday! I love the relationship between Patrick and Gillian.. This show is funny and dramatic. These two definitely speak their truth while being hilarious. No lack of entertainment here!! I learn something I didn’t know about cases that I have followed quite often. In a different life the three of us were best friends and in this one I’m just catching up! ❤️

Longtime listener. Some takes lately have been BAD. Is Dr Drew ok? NO! Do just the tiniest bit of research. And some of the misogynistic language coming from Gillian lately. Oof. Disappointing. I hope this is a blip and I can go back to this show.

I don't understand all the sudden vitriol aimed at G&P. They are the same wonderful folks on air that they've always been. Patrick is a load of fun, and Gillian's rage (esp. on behalf of women) feeds me in a way that I can't explain. Keep up the great work!

why are they screaming ???

Comedy, comedy, comedy! I love this podcast - I listen for the lighthearted humor, interesting stories and insights. But I primarily come for laughter. Gillian and Patrick - life is serious, but let’s not take it so seriously. We all come for the laughter remember that.

Honestly I still find Patrick as a podcaster funny and sweet. But as a person I think he’s problematic. I listened to Crime Writers on reaction to the Obseesed Fest debacle - and I find them credible in their analysis of him. It’s on their patreon feed for free. So I still check in on their feed but have cancelled my patreon as well as my free subscription I have no real read on Gillian except her self righteous “I’m a supporter of all victims”- except if it’s about my gravy train. The fact that she didn’t even take a position positive or negative about the Obseesed Fest shows how controlling Patrick is about his brand and how compliant she is. But its been a good show and I might even stay subscribed but gillian’s constant vitriole is exhausting and constantly uncomfortable in reminding me of when she was silent. and their ads - online casinos- check cashing scams and now Oprah. She gave us doctor Phil and Dr Oz…you guys are rich do you really need to do these ads?

She comes off as incredibly bossy and is totally insufferable. She used to just annoy me but now she’s completely intolerable.

I read that in another review of this pod and it’s so true.

I came in to make sure my review was in tact; and my carefully thought out, uniquely spun review has been… deleted? I’m not used to this being in the capabilities of the producers, but I wouldn’t put it past Obsessed Network now that they have Oprah saturating their feed too. The way they opt to work to delete honest reviews is akin to how they delete bad comments on their socials and block individuals who don’t agree with them and bow at their altars. Enough. I’m done with the anger, the othering, the blatant sycophant-like grubbing, the lack of ANY real mutual respect/friendship. Gillian used to love and adore Patrick, now, she “no ands” him and shuts him down. The years of “don’t you talk about my friend like that” are over. She hates him. She’s stuck because she can’t give up on the money with her fancy apartment cost in NYC. It must be comfortable to have an aforementioned fear of flying to avoid touring with someone you can’t stand and get away with it. I’m sure this review will be deleted as well as my previous one, but for those of you who still give money here, shame on you. The writing is not only on the wall, it’s on every word uttered with every release.

Patrick is the only reason this podcast still exists. Gillian is so angry and insufferable.

I’ve been listening for years, been a Patreon supporter but once you started putting Oprah’s podcast in my feed , I tolerated it for the last couple of months. I’m done. I don’t mind advertising in the show but these recommended shows in my feed- get out of here. I wish you the best and I don’t blame you for paying the bills.

Not sure why we’re being updated weekly with podcast suggested feeds. But I might also not like Oprah’s podcast. And why weekly?

Fuels my need for true crime convo and shares my love of documentaries. The hosts are perfect just the way they are!

I’ve been a listener for about seven years and used to love True Crime Obsessed—it was sharp, funny, and my go-to shows. Lately, though, it feels like the tone has really shifted. I often feel like I’m being lectured or told what to be outraged by, and Gillian’s energy has gotten overwhelming (the constant yelling). Someone compared it to Nancy Grace, and I haven’t been able to unhear that. It’s tough to say, but the show just isn’t what it used to be. I appreciate the years I enjoyed it, but I think I’m ready to move on.
