Affirmative Murder is the true crime comedy podcast hosted by Alvin Williams and Francel Evans.

    I was introduced to Alvin when he did a guest segment on Wine & Crime. Dudes hilarious. I migrated over to Affirmative Murder soon thereafter. Love the dynamic between Alvin & Fran. After listening to a few recent episodes, I was hooked and had to go back as far as I could to binge.

    You were on Morbid so I thought I would check you out. You guys are doing a great job. I’m a fan and I’m hooked. You guys crack me up. I love your perspectives on different topics.

    Props
    When I pause Stephen Colbert to be entertained and educated by Affirmative Murder.. that really means something. Props from a day 1 listener. Keep it up 👍

    “Comedy” True Crime Podcast?
    I think it’s a bit alarming how opinion (specifically Alvin’s) can be stated as fact by him without any actual research or data to support. This is something that doesn’t sit right with me because any person listening could take it as truth. There needs to be more research and grace put into this podcast because there’s been some very harmful rhetoric. I don’t see much comedy in this podcast but more so an opinionated news cycle. There have been several cases with limited research and instead stuffed full with opinion, mostly Alvin’s. Really hope that some changes are done.

    I’ve been listening for a couple years now. I love this podcast. It’s informative and hilarious. The freaknik episodes had me crying. The friendship between these guys is real and I’m here for it weekly. Congrats on your successes both personal and professional. You are amazing.

    So I don’t listen to podcasts much anymore, but my best friend recently told me about listening while doing things around the house. She was telling me how she’s listened for YEARS (don’t know WHY) she just now told me about this! But today, struggling having the energy to cook dinner…. I decided to open the app and the first episode was still sitting on play from when i told her i would listen weeks ago… first episode being wakanda forever. NGL; it finished dinner with me and made it to the room. I’m finishing the second episode and now the 3rd episode is now starting at 12:44am! I’m ADDICTED. You guys are absolutely amazing and although I’m upset i didn’t start listening when you guys started, but i am absolutely here to stay. I am slightly grateful I was this late bc i can absolutely binge listen. Thank you so much for the amazing content. I have no complaints so far and wouldn’t even voice one until i make it to fall of 2024 anyway lol. But thank you so much. I feel like we friends, and although I’m just a goofy girl… i feel like I’m hanging with my homies. Thank you both for being personable, respectful, hilarious, and most of all yourselves and unique. This is such amazing content. I can already tell this is going to help me through a lot !

    Great podcast
    They are very diverse and thorough in their coverage and can make you laugh. I can't remember how I found this podcast but I've been listening ever since.

    Informative & Hilarious

    One of the best
    Truly an amazing true crime show that brings to life stories not covered enough with the perfect mix of sensitivity and humor.
  • RoBotDIsKo
    Hilarious and Terrifying
    Hope it’s not too late for you to still look at your reviews! After trying many many true crime podcasts, Affirmative Murder is the ONLY podcast that I listen to besides Morbid… You are the hilarious, male, true crime duo that I needed!

    😎
    Listener from the start👌🏾. Pod still ok but sometimes there’s a real lack of knowledge that is apparent.. more like loose opinions. History and science 👍🏾
  • ZoeOphelia

  • SammyD323

  • KrissyR23
    All the love
    These guys are so genuine & fun. I enjoy listening to their stories & their conversations.
  • Bamm402
    Absolutely love them
    Fran an Alvin are my new two favorite murder podcasters. I love their back-and-forth banter, hypothetical situations, and their overall chemistry. This podcast makes my days at work fly by while I listen to them talk bad about killers, stick up for victims, and put themselves in hypothetical “if that was me” situations. This is just overall a very enjoyable podcast an I look forward to every episode they put out 💯❤️
  • Create A. Nickname
    Terrible but good
    Terrible research on the topics. But the podcast is good. I usually don’t like banter but Fran and Alvin have good chemistry.
  • How Can I Keep From Singing
    Love it!
    Love this podcast! Love the funny banter and hearing about cases that aren’t normally told on other true crime podcasts. Keep up the great work!

Spotify is usually my podcast go to, but i hopped over here just to leave a review. yall are hilarious, i started from the beginning and have been listening for the last 2 weeks or so basically non stop. I keep getting crazy looks while im at work because im listening to yall by myself filling vending machines. i gotta tell them “im listening to a podcast, im not laughing at this machine” I also wanted to share that i accidentally joined a cult a few years ago, then i realized i was assisting in my own kidnapping & i had to dip. if you wanna here the whole story, send me a DM on insta @jayandthegiantpeach

    Where have you been all my life?!
    Peed a little, cried a little, felt sad for humanity so I ate a Twinkie. 💯
  • Dr.Drea2376

    I heard these two as guests on another podcast and loved them and they way they banter and tell stories and all around just keep it real. 10/10 recommend! I’ve gone back to the beginning so I can listen to them order. Can’t get enough. Keep it up guys!
  • Listener new
    Great listen!!
    I recently heard you on morbid 😍 podcast. I love LOVE your connections to each other, your stories about your life and your ability to tell the stories you do. If I could suggest anything I would suggest more details about the cases you cover. Overall so good and a great listen please keep up the amazing work you do. Also the sound effects during your episodes 🔥🔥
  • e_rogue

    Morbid sent me
    After listening to a recent podcast where Affirmative Murder guested broadcast on another show, I started the back catalog this week. Already thru the first 30 plus episodes. Alvin and Fran are great. I can already hear a difference in the podcasts. I am impressed by their approach and humility when approaching topics and corrections/feedback. I can’t wait to dig into the rest of the back catalog to get up to the present.
  • Anotherfaithfulviewerlost
    Hi jacked
    Cool show. Only one complaint—Austin, please let Francel tell his experiences, please!
  • DanelleMW
    Morbid sent me.
    Binge! Binge! Binge! Y’all are hilarious. 😂
  • Schlessy7
    Also came from Morbid, and I love it!!!
    I first heard you guys on your recent guest appearance on Morbid, and I’ve been binging episodes ever since. I love listening to your conversations and it’s great to hear some of these cases that don’t get nearly enough coverage. I always leave an episode thinking about this world - thinking about how it must be for others, thinking about trying to make it a better place, thinking about how I wish we would treat each other better…. I’m definitely here to stay. Thank you for all your incredibly hard work that provides the world with hours and hours of thought-provoking entertainment (… and for free?! You guys should get paid more.) Keep up the great work, guys!!!

    Morbid gals recommended!
    Another Morbid fan who took their advice and gave you a listen and became hooked! I love y’all’s vibe and rhythm. Got yourself a new fan here!
  • biondie19
    Came from Morbid!
    I enjoyed your visit to Morbid so I came over and listened to your most recent episode “Bronx Bullies” and thoroughly enjoyed it, even though the topic was heartbreaking, you did a great job telling his story and discussing it! I usually like to go back to the first episode when I find a new podcast and just binge it while I work (I clean houses all day, 7 days a week, so I tend to blow through podcasts quickly lol) but I know podcasters hate when people listen to their oldest first since you grow so much over time so I decided to hit up your most recent episode first! Definitely glad I did you did a great job and I’ll be heading to the beginning from here to listen to them all! 😊

    Great Show : New Listener
    Was recently introduced to this podcast after they guested on one of my favorite podcasts. When this happens I usually like to start listening from the beginning and work my way up to the latest episodes. I’m so glad I did. These guys are hilarious and I actually look forward to listening to the next episode after I finish one. I’m only up to episode 30 in less than a week. But keep them coming. I must say it’s funny that one of the worst things about the show is also one of the best things about the show: when they read their prepared stories. They fumble around a lot, but I have come to love this, because they just roll with it and then the magic happens when they riff off of each other. You can tell they have been friends for a while and I find myself laughing out loud at their comments like I’m sitting in the room with a couple friends who I get their sense of humor. Amazing show and you have earned a life long listener. I was going to write a random nonsensical statement attached to five stars as was requested in early episodes. But I had to write a meaningful review. Even if it’s based off of your earlier episodes. I can only imagine how good it is when I make it up to your most recent episodes. Great show and great work.

    Great podcast
    Discovered this podcast when they were guests on Morbid and immediately sought them out. Awesome delivery, laugh out loud funny but interesting stories. Hope you like it too!
  • MWilczewski
    Amazing Pod
    I’m only two episodes in and I’m hooked! Alvin and Fran are great narrators, while also considering the social/political/cultural aspects that impact the victims, the crime, and the perpetrators. Thank so you so much!!!
  • cdawl
    Shut up
    32 minutes into a 50 minute episode they STARTED discussing a case. I tried few episodes trying to skip though, but your banter isn’t entertaining
  • _andallthatjass
    Not The Same
    Used to be one of my favorite podcast but it is turning into the “Alvin Show” and the lack of research is astonishing.
  • Lil Lizifer X
    These dudes are the best
    So proud of how smart and adaptable Fran and Alvin are. Despite the dinosaurs lol You guys are the coolest and I appreciate every second of you letting us in on your process. I deeply appreciate the growth y’all have done, it’s truly impressive. You’ve come a long way and I look forward to hearing what else you all do. TFTH is so great! Really hoping listeners send a whole bunch more, that needs to keep going. Also, excellent production quality. Keep doing the thing!
  • AC42093
    Redundant
    I used to like this podcast since I heard about it on Morbid…But every episode is basically Alvin just contradicting Frans opinions or trying to tell him he’s wrong about something. Your opinion isn’t always right Alvin 🤧 #LetFranLive
  • CJListens1
    Find the Period
    Discovered this podcast after listening to True Crime Binge. I was hesitant to listen because I don’t typically do 2 hour podcasts, I prefer 1 hour max. But I give a pass to these guys. It is funny, interesting and insightful. My only issue is I pray Alvin can find the period one day soon. His inability to come to an end of a sentence is amazing.
  • n3ssa820
    10/10 would recommend
    Alvin’s tv and movie recommendations are always on point!!!!! The pod is pretty great too!
