  • Love the bonus!

    I love the bonus episodes! Not sure why people are complaining, if you’re not into it just skip those episodes. Personally I look forward to the banter, the random rabbit holes and Gen X references. Love the main episodes too!!Carolyn is a brilliant story teller.

  • Do you realize? The purpose of bonus episodes people?

    O. M. G.

    The hilarious Karen complaints about Brandon. Get a grip ladies. He already has his own highly rated podcast The Devil Within. Do they realize the ravenous thirst for folksy bonus content? It is not your fault people crave updates on your soccer trips and whatnot. Bonus episodes are supposed to give random reactions and context. Not reveal Zapruder level secrets. Sure Brandon cannot pronounce the word garage but he is not still using words like mansplain he is Carolyn’s friend and prod... more

  • The Recruit Bonus 2

    I am so disappointed that after a wonderful main episode that was very moving about a brutally murdered woman that Branden made the bonus content all about him and his beliefs about giving police DNA. So disrespectful to the story and the victim. I usually like Criminal Mischief and I love Carolyn’s story telling but this was a bitter after taste and sad to hear
