Love it!

This is a great podcast. The hosts are wonderful and they do an amazing job at looking at things through an intersectional lens and examining both the crimes and the history.

Another letter for the Angel's to deliver. Love the work Girls.

love Wendy and Beth chemistry together. the format comes in segments. they cover the history or culture of the region of the crime, and of course the history of the killer. look forward to "How not to get Murdered" each week and the end recommendations is a good way to destress after the story.

Great topics

Show content is great. Hosts are terribly annoying. I would rather listen to Stephen Hawking cry.
