Great storylines, but the banter is so boring

On reading the summary of these episodes, the stories sound really interesting. However, these ladies are ALL over the place with their discussions, except about the actual storyline. I’m 1 hour into episode 266 and the only info I’ve gotten about the history of the Oujia board is the name of the inventor & when it was patented. Not worth listening for another hour & half. I can’t believe these ladies view themselves as comedians — painful!

spooky and amazing.

I never thought that I would love a true crime podcast, but something about Em and Christine keeps me coming back. Em and Christine are hilarious together. I am addicted to this podcast. ♡♡♡

Want to love it

I really want to love this podcast. If they would just stop political drama and assumptions of all political parties I could listen.

#ContagiousLaughter and #BFFGoals

I just found you both and absolutely LOOOVEE your podcast! I listen all day at work as I’m trying to work my way from oldest to newest so I don’t know much about you guys yet and even less about your current happenings. I don’t use social media much or I would be following everywhere! So want to join your Patreon but I’m #PoorSauce maybe I’ll get a raise soon and can start contributing to someone else’s #WineFund 🤣 #AndThatsWhyWeDrink #TeamWine

My go to- this gets me through my days and nights

I found this podcast and began from episode one and the more I listen the more I love it. These two are down to earth and super funny! I enjoy mostly the paranormal part but the true crime is also very interesting. They’re also so relatable. I recommend this for anyone who wants to be spooked but also have a good laugh!

Peat Moss was used as a heat source.

Good. Look up Peat Bog and how peat was kept in the home and burned as fuel. Gaelic is Irish. Cape Breton, Nova Scotia in Canada is a fiscally responsible way to see Ireland's sister.

Longtime Listener

Longtime listener here. If your looking for something to fill your true crime and paranormal fascinating while still keeping it lighthearted and fun, this is what you're looking for. Christine and Em do a great job with their research and trying to bring all the facts that they can. I recommend this podcast to everyone I talk to.
