    Must listen
    Such a great podcast. I’ve caught every episode. Hoots, Caelan, and Mandy have such great chemistry, and riff so well together. It’s always a joy to listen to them, even when the topics are heavy. I really appreciate their reverence for the victims of the people they often cover, and the special moments they horror are truly special person. Their Marsha P. Johnson episode is one of my favorites.

    Amazing
    The one stars are from moron cishets who cannot listen to any queer people or women. It’s really well researched but it’s about the filth yall. We love

    Too quiet
    Audio could be a little louder

    Ouch Painful
    The show is unlistenable due to the hosts’ voices sounding like nails on a chalkboard. At least they don’t know what they talking about either… Terrible.

    Fabulous 👏👏👏
    Truly my favorite podcast- wish y’all uploaded more though (I don’t have anything half as good to fill the gaps between episodes)

    Hosts are insufferable
    Great concept, but couldn’t even get thru a full episode as the hosts sounded so obnoxious.

    I don’t have a super sweet aunt named Phyllis, but I did have a super sweet grandma named Phyllis?

    love this podcast
    nothing more enjoyable than a group of queer people flaming the awful dead people of history. it greatly appeals to my (queer, history nerd) sensibilities <3

    Best up and coming podcast?
    History, comedy, and snark! The three genders. I’m here for it.
  • Kdmylady
    Listened to this.
    This show is fantastic, it makes hearing all the sad and depressing things people did bearable. As they finally get their names dragged with plenty of comedic justice.

    I’m in love.
    Hilarious and informative.

    Delightfully Morbid
    This podcast pulls up the nastiest people and drags those corpses through the mud. Our fabulous hosts provide context and comedy to these harrowing stories, that leaves one appreciative of deaths cold grasp. Come dance on some graves with us!

    From Your Okie Homie
    I, like some of the others, am a first-time podcast rater, and I’ve only been listening for a few days, but I am HOOKED! I didn’t think it was possible to find queer joy, macabre humor and deeply-felt compassion for victims of injustice. I am a life-long citizen of OKC, and appreciated how well done the Timothy McVeigh episode was when it came to drawing the through line of white supremacy. At the same time, I’ve never laughed so hard while driving that I almost swerved my car. 🤣 love your work. Thank you for all you do!

    Greatest Podcast
    I Will start off by saying I’ve never rated a podcast but The 3 of you are iconic. I recommend this podcast to everyone I talk to and am a religious listener. I just listened to the Tigers episode and cried laughing on the way to work. I love the fact that y’all tell the true tale of all these people so that they get no peace in death. Every worm feast is amazing. Keep going. Someday I hope you have a video format because it would bring it from 5 stars to 10.

    I hosted a humble nerd party at my home near the end of July. SOMEONE at my party recommended this podcast, and everyone checked it out, and loves it! However, I’ve asked everyone who could have possibly been there to suggest it, and the response is all the same! No one knows who, but they are all grateful listeners now. I’m giving credit to some wonderful witchy-ness! Much love to you all!

    Dancing on the graves of monsters
    A necessary corrective to our celebrity-obsessed culture’s tendency to rehabilitate the reputations of society’s malefactors once they’re safely in the ground. Some episodes are RIPped from today’s headlines where the body’s still warm, others target historical creeps and weirdos long turned to dust. The banter is amusing, the hosts stay mostly on topic, and the theme song slaps!

    Pointy sticks boy
    Listened to the Vlad episode after reading The American Conservative’s piece “Learning From Vlad the Impaler” because it’s important to listen to both sides
  • CooperMUNNERLYN

    From the opening note of the bop at the beginning until the very end of every episode this podcast is interesting, entertaining, hilarious and enlightening.

    Drink&Dish; because every history lesson goes down better with an adult beverage!
    Three of the most fabulous and talented video essayists to rise from the ashes of the pandemic-age of YouTube entertainment unite for weekly released sessions as they Drink&Dish the deets on the most dastardly dubious dead D0uch3B@g$ and d3bu-Tw@t$ [pronounce like debutantes] throughout history. Since I gave up alcohol for my “Jesus-year,” I graciously live vicariously through Caelan, Hoots, and Mandy and the informed chaos that is this podcast. I’ve laughed a ton, and even shed a few tears, but never am I not entertained by this Queer Trio of hysterical maniacs with their unique take on history. Sign me up for every episode to come; this podcast really sets the tone for the week ahead, and I can’t get enough of it. #WormFeast #DisRespectTheDead

    The reason I open the podcast app
    I am not a podcast person, but when three of the best video essayists on youtube come together to drag history’s worst trash goblins, I can’t say no. Hilarious, delightfully irreverent, and unapologetically queer— Respect The Dead frequently leaves me screaming with laughter, often on the subway. Best part of my week, hands down!

    Hilarious
    This podcast is the only thing that makes my Mondays bearable. Keep up the awesome work!

    5 Stars :)
    An incredible concept, and very entertaining! I love the chemistry between the three co-hosts and if I owned a cat it would definitely be in danger from the multiple spit takes I’ve done while listening.
  • Lark's reader
    So much fun!
    Look, some people are terrible but have a great PR team in life (and death) and we need to be reminded that just because you died that doesn’t mean you’re suddenly a great person. So here is the podcast just for that. Learn about all sorts of horrible historic figures who still get way more adoration than they deserve. Plus the hosts are hilarious, and have great chemistry between them.
  • Zroundbls
    A delicious final reckoning
    A cathartic romp through the hall of shame of those who deserve no peace in death. Recommended!

    A Fun Way to Cope
    There are many podcasts that talk about terrible people and terrible things that we have no individual power to change overnight. But this podcast allows me to look back on terrible people of the terrible past with the reassurance that they are terribly and deservedly dead. 5 stars, no notes.
  • S'badger
    Great hosts

  • auniquenamehopefully
    grateful
    Grateful for the work being done. Preserving history and telling truths people avoid and hide.
  • Luke from Las Vegas
    Best podcast ever!
    The Teeth Slide of Action Park is my sleep paralysis demon.
  • StarvingPhoenix
    A hilarious and informative podcast
    I love listening to this podcast. It's so fun to hear all about terrible dead people and all the awful things they've done. Calean, Mandy, and hoots are so charming and funny. One of my favorite podcasts!
  • Cassandra A. Riter

  • FerrousFellow
    Consistently intriguing and funny while irreverently righteous
    I had stopped listening to podcasts altogether for well over a year until I was recommended this one. If you enjoy socially conscious but raunchy discourse this one is a real banger.
  • Closetdork
    HILARIOUS
    This podcast had me laughing at my desk and struggling to breathe. The commentary is SO snarky and beautiful. I have no doubt that there is potential for this show to be one of the big names in the future. The hosts have an amazing natural chemistry and their storytelling and research truly shine. I’m beyond excited whenever a new episode drops, even if they are covering a person I’ve never heard of before. I’m telling everyone I know about Respect the Dead.
  • zacharine
    A real HOOT!
    A delightful way to spend a good 3/4ths of an hour! All three hosts are fabulously charming and dissect each episode’s subject with cutting wit and deadly jokes with the added bonus of teaching me a little thing or two about the featured person.
  • Amanda Hootman
    Five stars!
    Leaving five stars and a review like a good podcast listener.
  • Saribeaux
    Snarky and indulgent
    I love this podcast already. Found it and listened to the first three episodes straight away, and then sent one to my sister to discuss. It feels so cathartic hearing terrible people get dragged, and the hosts have such good chemistry. Recommend highly
  • Hazayyy
    Genius
    What a fantastic concept.
