Em and Christine are maybe my favorite podcasters ever. They have a great rapport together and I love the combo of ghost stories and true crime! (0 more)
Spooky fun!
I love both Em and Christine’s story telling! I like that I hear old favorite stories from a new perspective as well as stories I’ve never heard before! I always want a glass of wine or milkshake after listening!

A little wacky but it kept me wanting to read more. I don't know if these stories are true or not but if they are - I can't imagine why anyone would want to make a life like this so public! Yikes!

Enjoyed this rebot more than original
Loved this rebot it was better than original in my eyes. It was thrilling with different stories for each sister that all came together at the end
  
If you know me, besides true crime, you will know I love ghost stories. Especially true accounts of them. That made this the perfect book for me. I found this at a used book store in the city of Orange, California when I was visiting my friends and it was so cheap, I couldn't pass it up. With so many first person true accounts as well as descriptions of famous haunted places around the world, it was indeed an interesting read. I loved how it was broken up into sections of similar stories, so that will make it easier to go back to if I find it necessary (which I most definitely will at some point)! Brad Steiger, great job compiling this book!

Terrific format of mixed bag "true" stories
I really do enjoy this podcast. I find the length of each story perfect and I enjoy that they are told from the people who experienced it (which lends an aire of legitimacy). I have a sneaking suspicion that some are more true than others. Also some are not nearly as scary or entertaining but that's ok because the story lenghts are manageable.

Great Acting
True to the original stories
This new spin on Sherlock is able to make the show up to date without taking away the original heart of the story. This series modernizes Sherlock but still honors the works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

Novellas would be better expanded into novels (0 more)
Two novellas and a few short stories set in an alternate U.S.
I love the ingenuity of this world if the whole "hippo ranching" had come to pass. It's true, go google it.

Movie Favorite

"That’s a masterpiece that always moves me, every time I see it. I love epic films, I love epic theatre — bold, big stories, with intricate character work, but truth, you know? At the base of it all, something true. Whether it’s a raging spirit or style to the hilt."

Contains spoilers, click to show
Such a brilliant TV show, I was gripped throughout the first 4 seasons and I am so excited to watch the fifth season. The characters are fantastic and really believable. I can hardly believe it is based on true stories
  
The hosts are so likeable, you could probably enjoy the show even if you aren’t into true crime (2 more)
Production Values are excellent
Murderinos (listeners of the show and true crime buffs) feel like friends and fans of the show often do meet ups and contribute to charity

The stories are only generally researched and might not be completely factual
The hometown murders segments have evolved into content that doesn’t pertain to the show’s subject matter
Yeah, I’m a murderino
