Over it

Been listening for 7 years. All day every day we are blasted with politics. Political ads on tv, political posts on social media, political ads in my mailbox, politics at work. Listening to (non political) podcasts on my way to work was time away from all of it. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Everyone is entitled to use their platform to express it. But this is over the top. Their banter used to be charming, but now it’s exhausting. Right or left I just want to listen to some true crime without being bombarded. Just over it.

Turned into a political show cool

Best podcast

You don’t have to be into “True Crime” as the two hosts will make laugh with the mini episodes. They also treat true crime without forgetting about the victims. Listener from 2021

Sad to leave

I love the podcast and have continued to listen through all the political rants because I genuinely enjoyed the banter and story telling. However as a republican I feel unwelcome after last Thursdays episode. I’ve had to unsubscribe…not all republicans are awful people.

I would die for Karen and Georgia

Don’t make me tho

Karen & Georgia, We Adore You!

I can’t say much more. Karen and Georgia are the ones that reminded me of my interest in true crime so many years ago, and though they wouldn’t know me from Bob in public, every time I listen it’s like I’m on a girls trip with my best friends. Even in the toughest times they’re uplifting at the same time they acknowledge the hard road ahead. Thanks so much for all that you ALL do at Exactly Right- for how you’ve grown with us, as people, and supported what’s right, always.

Too bad so sad not really

I love the research and the stories.. hate how political it has become. They seem to not care about others who don’t have the exact same political view as they do. Since you would hate to see this country get run by “trump supporters” again, I won’t be listening anymore. You claim to support mental health and then turn around and tear down anyone who doesn’t have the same views as you, doesn’t make a whole lot of sense.

Unfollowed

.....for lack of respect of victims & their families! Shame on you two for appearing to forget that these are real people with real pain🥲

Wrong again retardo girls

Once again, these leftist retards get it completely wrong. The murders of black and brown people go unreported because their killers are almost always black and brown. This corrupts all of the useful data that could be used to keep everyone safe from these monsters. Notice how they start the story describing the murder of a white girl by a white man who they name, then they go onto to describe 2 other murders, but they don’t name the killers or the race of the victims. This is a Marxist tactic and you can bet your bottom dollar that both of those other killings were done by black and brown people.

Not true crime

I was loving this podcast until it became a political podcast and they made their views very clear. Over 5 mins in and they are still going on and on. Not true crime. Unfollow.

Love this show

Having these two in my ear holes is the best part of the week. I’ve listened since month 2 and won’t ever drop out!

Hey ladies!!

Just wanted to comment on how much I’m loving the rewind pieces as a new-ish listener!!!

Returning listener

I love the camaraderie, banter, and wide variety of stories. I start and stop listening fairly often to let the episodes pile up. The most fascinating part is watching them make a success and eventual careers out of a simple idea. They have definitely grown, but it’s nice when a little something slips up. I still love the banter, the humor, the sense of family, and the many tangents they take off upon. I think I’ll need the comfort during the next few years. I see a lot of one-star MAGA reviews and I think that if people listened and learned anything from this podcast, it’s that you can’t keep politics out of the discussion when you’re talking about life and death—how and why these crimes happen. If you want to deter crime, you need policies that build up communities and provide aid to those in need.

Together We’re Fine

Just the comic escape I needed this week! Head cheese😂Also very touching statement from Sarah’s mother. You ladies make me laugh and cry in the same episode, very cathartic ❤️

Listen up girlies

Women need to hear these stories, young women need to hear these stories.

:(

I used to love this podcast, genuinely a day one listener and used to recommend to anyone and everyone. But ever since COVID the politics Karen & Georgia talk is unbearable. I don’t care what your political view is. I listened to your podcast because you guys were funny and talked about murder. Unfortunately that’s just not true anymore. I miss how your podcast used to be

Depressing and immature

Tuned in for my first time today - not comedy or murder - only commiserating over the Presidential ejection. Unsubscribed after the first five minutes.

Too political

Really wanted to like this podcast, it keeps popping up as something I may enjoy….but first episode I try, right off the bat began with strong political doom and gloom. There are good and bad people on both sides of the political parties, and some of us just want to not hear it on every single platform. It was so cringy listening to this I had to turn it off. Idk why you would want to alienate people like this by being so negative.

Just stop

How can we live in a drag queen world if we also live in 1938 fascism? Guys, the hyperbole insanity is what sunk the democrat ship. You’ve gotta get a grip. The more insane you act, the more proof we have that you’re insane. Stop with the tears. Stop obsessing about abortions. Stop telling everyone to curb their hate when 100% of the hate radiates from liberals. Stop holding a peripheral gun to people’s heads making them agree with you or else. Keep going at the rate you’re going and the entire map will be red. However, thanks for helping us win the election! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Liberal propaganda disguised as a podcast

Funny that buck-tooth Betty and whatever the older one is called are telling people to “buckle up and get ready.” I think the FBI should put these two in a watch list for inciting violence. These two need to up their meds for real. I used to like this podcast but now all I do is roll my eyes.
Dan…,,,

Huh!

I couldn’t get past 15 min of the rambling thoughts and dropping the F word every third sentence. Don’t waste your time downloading this podcast.

My Favorite Ladies!

Don’t listen to the haters! That’s what Trump supporters do best. I love you and please never change a bit. It’s YOUR podcast. Say whatevah the feck ya want! ♥️

OGs

I usually fast forward to the actual stories when I listen. Personally I don’t like all the banter and politics. But it’s their podcast, they have freedom of speech just like I have freedom to skip. They are incredible story tellers and funny. If you’re ok with all that you’ll love it. It’s just not for me. And that’s ok!

Rewinds Fill My Bucket

I LOVE the rewind episodes! It’s an example of taking a moral inventory (Al-Anon human, here) and making amends. Plus it’s just plain fun to revisit the oldies but goodies.

My favorite

Best true crime podcast there is, bar none.
EnVee14

Just too much

Too many adds. Too much of sellouts now. Too much hate towards Christians. Too political and self righteous. I don’t mind differing opinions but here it’s Karen and Georgia’s way or the highway and they are just mean to anyone who sees things a different way than they do.
Ing4red

Noice podcast you go there.

I’ve seen an uptick of “don’t be political” reviews lately, it’s your podcast, do what you want.

Keep being YOU!!!

F¥€k anyone saying you need to chill on politics. They don’t have to listen to this podcast. Not everything is for those people. End rant. Day 1 listener and I am not going anywhere. Love this network, love your banter and your whole team deserves all the praise. Well done my friends. Keep up the good work. We need you now more than ever.

Hey Karen K

You may know already but there is the BritBox you can get to stream everything BBC related. Love you girls from the start!
Cass of Kensington

Funny and honest!

My favorite parts are drunk Karen (when Karen impersonates herself when she was an alcoholic), the honest stories about their youth and foibles, and the minisodes. And their right-on politics!! And MFM animated on YouTube is hilarious!

Politics Took Over

I started listening to this podcast from the beginning and really enjoyed it. It was recommended by several coworkers. In the beginning they were very clearly trying to avoid all politics, but that decision was reversed with the breakout of COVID and then the tragedy of George Floyd. I thought I could just skip a few episodes and then it’d go back to the usual banter and stories, but alas, leftist politics became the new normal. For a podcast that cares so much about being tolerant and kindness, they sure don’t model that and it is the reason I stopped listening to this show. This was my go-to, but I cannot stomach it any longer. I wish them the best and will probably revisit a few of the early podcasts every now and then.

Freaking out!

My husband never listens to podcasts but today, we were sitting on our back patio on a beautiful afternoon and I started listening to 2000 pounds of Soap. We both loved the story but especially all the Chicago references. We met and married in Chicago but now live in Marin County. At the end of your story you mention the building that was turned into condos in the late ‘90’s. That was our first condo we lived in when we had our first baby!!!! My husband remembered that our building had been a sausage factory and confirmed it online! We are so freaked out!! Thanks for giving us a story to talk about!! (I write this years ago but don’t know if I ever sent it?)

I love that they don’t bleep the swearing!

I love not hearing women that talk the way I do!

My best friends

I love MFM so much! I started listening during the pandemic, and Karen and Georgia are now my best friends. I’m listening all the way through for the second time! Also, of COURSE you share your political beliefs! You’ve been doing it from the beginning, along with all your other beliefs. The snowflakes who want to silence you…oh the hypocrisy…

I can’t believe I never rated or reviewed! Georgia && Karen have been keeping me company && on task for over 2 years now. I love their voices, they’re like old friends at this point. Sometimes I listen so I can fall asleep, it sounds creepy but by the time they get into the story I’m already asleep so 🤷🏼‍♀️. Definitely worth your time if you love true crime! Thanks friends! Stay sexy and do gods work 😂🎉 *loving the rewind episodes sm! 11/08/24

Loving the Rewinds!!

Loving the Rewinds thank you! Especially because they don’t have all the commercials… but as someone who listens to the podcast falling asleep - and sorry! - I am grateful to you both that you do the commercials in your own voice usually instead of some random voice coming on screeching higher on the audio feed. Love you!
natashajs

I love rewinds!

The rewind episode 18 gave me a flashback to when I first started listening to MFM! That was THE EPISODE that jump started the murderino in me! Forever greatful for these wonderful ladies for sharing these stories and spreading awareness of staying sexy and not getting murdered!
