I look forward to your stories

I love listening to this podcast. I started last April when I started working 3rd shift. The crazy good stories get me through the night. I’ve now listened so much that I have to wait for a new episode each week. I don’t mind the wait though!

fun couple!

I listen to several true crime podcasts and true crime. couple is by far my favorite. I love kay's voice and accent and the way that she tells the stories- always respectful of the victims but keeps things interesting all the way through.

Great

The True Crime Couple is great. Great research and delivery. The banter is just right. There are some laughs, some things that make you cry. Delivered with compassion.

Highly Recommend

This is a great podcast. The episodes are longer than most others and well researched. Kay and John are a great team and have great banter. Kay covers so many cases I had never heard of before. Over all a wonderful podcast.
