    I tried…
    Oh, Lordy, I heard about a specific murder and decided to look it up online, as a podcast. Holy, moly, guacamole… the 2 yapping girls went on and on and on about themselves; no crime info AT ALL. I’m bummed because I’m sure they are good people. However, just like me, when I work at my job… I am professional. I’m so sorry, girlies, I really wanted to hear about the awful crime against the main person… the person whose life was cut so short. I, honestly, didn’t care about how awesome or terrible your lives are; you are alive. Ruminate on that fact, please.

    There seems too be a lot of people who like this podcast and a lot who do not like this podcast I do not know it is okay but too many ads

    Authentic & Entertaining
    My favorite podcast of all time. I LOVE THE REWIND EPISODES!!!! Karen and Georgia share so much of themselves that you feel like you’re hanging out with two of your best friends. Real talk about things that are hard (e.g. murder, mental health, etc) but all the while they are intermingling their humor and friendship. Thank you K & G!!
  • JerseyQ
    Laugh out loud funny
    This is like sitting with your favorite friends, talking about true crime and having so much fun. Granted, they can’t hear you when you shout out the word they can’t think of, but it is still fun to try. Love their vulnerability and their strength! Worth listening to!

    My Literal Favrotie Murder (Podcast)
    Finally taking the time to write a review after years of being shamed / encouraged to do so by Karen & Georgia multiple times a week. 😅 Currently listening to the pod and something about the one Hyundai ad (where I’m very sure I can hear Karen trying to stifle a giggle when she’s about to read the phone number to call for more information) makes me smile every single time. Is her near-laughter due to the absurdity of the idea of willingly calling a phone number to shop for a new car? Is it unrelated to the phone thing and more about how she needs the standard driver attention features? Or is there no stifled giggle after all and I’m just imagining it? Whatever the case, I’m here for it, and for everything else the MFM team has brought to my life and the lives of so many other Murderinos for ALMOST A DEACADE now! SSDGM, Danica H (she/her)

    Love the Stories
    I really like listening to the stories. However, I do not like the 15-20 minutes of casual chitchat. If you must, it would be nice if there were time stamps in the show notes so we could jump right to the stories. I find myself constantly fast forwarding through all of it. There are also too many ads. I would think after 9 years of a podcast, you’d have enough success that ads wouldn’t be necessary.

    I heart Georgias picks
    Been listening since the beginning, lately I’ve been loving all of Georgias stories, not so much Karen’s. (Sorry Karen)
  • Ssssssshhhh
    Do better
    I am lost! Not sure what the hype is or was about. Terrible podcast. Hard to follow, way too many ads done by them so you never know when it starts and when it ends. They are all over the place, terrible storytelling and you never get a full story of what’s going on.
  • PurpleGirlMV
    My Favorite Podcast
    I am a big fan of true crime podcasts, and no one holds a candle to Karen and Georgia. It’s like sitting around the table with your girlfriends drinking a glass of wine and swapping stories. My kids will often hear me cackle from the other room while listening (Mom is soooo weird). Listening to them is like wrapping myself in my favorite fluffy blanket to decompress from the day. Highly, highly recommend.

    Can’t Listen to Other Podcasts Now
    After 8 years of listening, I finally decided to review because I haven’t found another podcast that I enjoy as much as MFM. Karen and Georgia horrify me and crack me up all in the same episode every single week! Keep it up forever ladies!
  • Cesa-bobisa!
    Lately it has not been good
    It has not even been worth listening to lately. I have listened for YEARS and still find myself relistening to their old episodes, but in the past year or so it has declined terribly. Too many ads, no enthusiasm and weird history stories that are hit or miss.

    Do Better
    I know I won’t be seen by these two. I am a day one listener and im beginning to feel disheartened by both of their lack of commitment to what we the community has supported them to be. It’s fine…I’m sure they both are typical L.A. gals who have figured out how to do what’s needed to keep to cash flow. I used to love this podcast but it’s become “bigger than its pants” oh, am I’m counting on Karen to be a typical Karen with a slam and rude response. These two need to be held accountable. Do better. It’s not just our right as potential listeners, it’s your job.
  • Scooching in Here
    Half-Assing It Lately
    Look. I love these ladies. I love this podcast. I’ve loved it for so long. But the episode today (Ep 479) was only one story (Karen didn’t even present), there were no hoorays, there were no recommendations, no preamble or banter. Fear not, still plenty of ads. The quality has been declining, but this episode really pushed me to actually review. It’s disappointing since I really have adored this podcast for so long. Times they are a changing, and not for the better!
  • Marniemarn123
    A favorite murder
    The title is … wow…disrespectful to the lives tragically and violently lost to your favorite murderers. And disrespectful to the victims’ loved ones.

    I absolutely LOVE this podcast! I laugh every single day with these ladies! Nothing funnier than the Chicago live show! I laughed til i cried. Who cares that I'm not getting my work done.

    HR TO THE RESCUE!
    So I was having a truly bad day at work to the point of my HR manager called and when I told her what I was dealing with she said she was on her way. When she arrived I ranted a bit more and she talked me off the ledge, which led to us talking about true crime and she recommended this one. I have been listening ever since! Thank you Ladies for this podcast and please stay sexy and don’t get murdered!
  • KayRule14
    Here we are
    I used to be a skipper. Then I matured. Now I don’t skip and I love the conversations. Probably because I live alone and spend most of my time alone so the conversations make me feel like I’m a part of something. Make me feel involved. If you’re a skipper, just become lonely. You won’t be anymore

    My Queens!!

    Favorite Podcast
    Love this podcast! Karen and Georgia are so funny and down to earth. Really enjoy their storytelling. I also have a trilogy book recommendation, it is called the lost bride trilogy by Nora Roberts. It’s amazing. I think everybody will love it. SSDGM

    Long time listener
    These ladies bring me so much joy in a bleak world. Yes the subject matter is also bleak, but they find ways to keep us feeling like their is hope out there.
  • CindieM
    Still one of the best…..
    K & G, just wanted to thank you for commuting with me 1 hour + drive to work & again for the drive home! Love you & all of your wisdom beyond your ages combined. SSDGM!!!
  • Idonthaveanickname2740jfc
    Love this podcast
    So many haters on here don’t listen if you don’t like it! These girls have accompanied me on many long road trips and make the time pass so much faster. Everything about this podcast is great keep up the good work!
  • Wgrnd
    Stop advertising everything!
    So many ads!! Way too many. And they sound so fake. Have something you are actually passionate about
  • Praying your strategy changes
    Your platform
    To be fair, I did not choose your podcast, it came on after a different podcast finished. I got through the introduction and turned your podcast off. Surely you have a vocabulary and repertoire of more than profanity. Sadly you have a platform that you’re using to defile Christ(at least in your belittlement of Easter) and use profanity (which just makes you appear uneducated) . I will pray that the scales are lifted from your eyes and you see your sin and ask for forgiveness. We all have come short of the glory of God and we all have an opportunity to repent and seek him and try daily to be more like him .
  • qfggtghhhh
    Fave show
    In a world where many podcasts are putting episodes behind a paywall- we have the delight to get even more free episodes from my bffs Karen andGeorgia. Love this show always! Why was the emu way my fave episode so far and I’ve listened to them all! Definitely worth a listen
  • bkalldaaay
    The best.
    Simply the best true crime podcast. I love many others as well, but MFM tops them all. The true OG.
  • Frenchscool
    Best podcast ever!!!
    These gals are my favorite! Thank you guys for everything you guys do. I am thirteen and love this podcast to death. Keep it going!
  • Ginreviews
    My most listened, oldest podcast fave
    MFM is the first podcast that got me into listening to podcasts. Karen and Georgia are kind, empathetic, funny and real. I love their banter (and I used to be a skipper!) and the stories they choose, for the most part. Their storytelling skills and research are top notch. I also love that they donate regularly and generously to great causes. Big fan of the main show and the rewind episodes. Keep them coming please!
  • Tekabella2
    Back from Camp
    On an unusually rainy morning ,I let my phone run onto the rewind episodes. I fell in love with the Episode you ladies renamed Back from Camp. There is a short documentary about the boarding house Dorothea Puentes lived in and ugh worked from, which you referred to, as Karen lived 2 doors down in college years later!!A short documentary called “This House is Innocent”, by Nicolas Coles was produced in 2015. It focuses on the who would buy it question .It’s on Utube now. Thanks! Forever in u yourbour debt!
  • Lexiels1837
    Way too many ads
    I’ve never listen to a podcast with so many freaking ads. It’s ridiculous.
  • this woman so judgy
    Dumb politics
    Can’t alienate half the country and call them stupid.
  • Jade0782
    Murderino is the BEST Description Ever
    How did I take this long to find this podcast?!? It’s a blessing because I can listen endlessly because I’m so many years behind but it’s crazy to know I could have been enjoying this in real time . What a great podcast. Karen makes this show. Her attitude voice and intelligence really stands out but their energy together makes for pure entertainment about a topic that is hard to digest. Yet they explain it best. It’s not that we like murder. We are just drawn to it and why… because we don’t understand it and it helps us understand it even just a little bit.
  • about to sue Apple and Kabam
    Excellent
    I found MFM in their first few months, thanks to their brother podcast The Dollop!'s Dave Anthony being their first guest. I found my ultimate podcast in crossovers between these two podcasts and over the years whenever they happen I jump and squeal for joy and then laugh until my sides ache. Karen and Georgia are fascinated devotees of true crime and weild the subject matter with the seriousness it deserves, relatable and dueling senses of humor, and an inspiring sense of justice. As they make mistakes, they address them and grow- and give mental health's role in everyones survival a well deserved spotlight as well. Best of all, theyre intelligent ethical politics are always a comfort that Im not crazy and other people really are that ridiculous. To those criticizing their politics: Its not them Its you.
  • Danananananna
    My favorite podcast and leave the politics in.
    I see people complaining about this being their place to get away from politics, but wake up… fascism is growing rapidly. People are being taken without due process. Now is the time to never stop talking about it. The reviewers entertainment escape is a luxury which doesn’t affect the trajectory of your existence — due process is not a luxury, it is a right, being taken away. This right absolutely affects the trajectory of not just our lives individually but our country’s future. Keep on keeping on, ladies. We love you so, so much. Revolution!
  • ihoffi
    Fake
    U guys are becoming so fake. Clearly Georgia wants nothing to do with this anymore. U guys are no longer fun. Just scripted for video. So lame u sold out
  • Probablyhungryorsomething
    OMG YASS
    I absolutely LOVE this podcast. I’m always exited to listen to this laid back but chilling podcast after a day of being the target at whatever group I’m in. This show doesn’t deserve 5 stars, it deserves every freaking star in the universe. Amazing podcast
  • Hoptippytop
    Maybe learn from mistakes
    OUCH… you had a beautiful chance to back up with 20/20 vision the horrendous trash case for Amanda Knox… and you MISSED. I feel embarrassed for you guys.

    It’s a perfectly Ripe Peach 🍑
    My Favorite Murder isn’t just a podcast; it’s an intoxicating cocktail of dark humor, true crime tales, and delightful banter that keeps your heart racing and your sides splitting—as thrilling as a hot date gone right! From the moment Georgia and Karen’s voices dance through my ears, I feel like I’m sharing a glass of wine with my best friends while we plot our next adventure (or our next, you know, nefarious scheme). It’s downright confaluted that this gem Top 10 Five stars? Pfft, more like a constellation! 🌟 I’ve down low been in love with Karen for years and I’d happily listen to her sultry tones read the phone book! And can we just take a moment to appreciate sweet Elvis? His cookie cravings are the true stars of the show! If you're not tuned in yet, what are you waiting for? Join the ranks of us cool kids! This podcast gets better with each episode, and honestly, I’m here for the long haul because I simply cannot resist the magnetic pull of Georgia and Karen’s charm, wit, and those deliciously dark stories. So hit that subscribe button like it's the last slice of pizza—trust me, you won’t regret it! 🍕💖
  • Nick Name 3000
    Love it but leave politics out
    I love listening to everything except the political stuff. I listen to stuff like this to get away from the complaining about differences in parties…I know it’s their show and they can say what they want, I just wish they’d stick to murders.
  • Sam6577
    Love it!
    Makes my day when I hop in the car and see a new episode…love this show and these funny and crazy women!

    The Thing About Keith Morrison
    I just listened to episode 330, and OMG. Keith’s voice is sooooo soothing. But for real, I’ve been catching up on this show for the past, like, 9 months or something (longer? Who knows?), and it never fails to make me laugh even in darker moments. This and Morbid are my go-to podcasts, and since I’m current with the latter, when I want to binge, I come here! Karen and Georgia are great, and their lives are incredible stories of second chances and hope. I’m so glad I gave this show a chance.
  • Cwaterbly
    Lifelong favorite
    Day one listener here! I absolutely adore this podcast. Karen and Georgia have such a way with words that they can make even the hardest stories engaging and educational. This show has gotten me through so many grueling shifts, household deep cleans, and long road trips home. Definitely worth a try if you haven’t listened yet!
  • RamonaReviews
    Omg!!
    This is crazy! I’ve been listening to MFM ever since I was little. Thanks to my mom, I’ve been a murderino since I was around 7. While my dad was hesitant in letting me listen to true crime at such a young age, my mom argued that it’s good for me to be able to identify bad situations; as she always says: “Knowledge is power.” I must say, I completely agree and there have been moments where I believe my gut feelings have been put to the test. Learning the things that monsters can do is important for anyone, and introducing it in a humorous, smart, well-researched, and light hearted way is perfect.
  • Southernrager
    Long time listener, first time reviewer!
    I absolutely love love these ladies so dang much. Been listening since 2017 and they will never get old to me. Been a true crime fan since middle school (now 32 😳) and these ladies just make it even better. Listen to these episodes in all season of my life over the years. Love yall forever!
