  • #598 - Cookies Solve Murders - Stowe, Vermont
    May 23 2025

    This week, in Stowe, Vermont, a young woman trades in the corporate city life, to hopefully spend her time as a "ski bum" in the Vermont mountains, but disappears, while enjoying the outdoors. Her bike is left, leaning against a tree, while she was nowhere to be found. Eventually, detectives not only find her body, but figure a lot out, due to the cookies she was eating. Then, they link the whole thing to a man, who was under their nose, the whole time! This leads to a huge change in the way the state deals with DNA!!


    Along the way, we find out that maple syrup is a beverage in some places, that you should really watch where you leave cigarette butts, and that if someone's DNA is found on/in a murdered woman, they have a lot of explaining to do!!


    New episodes every Thursday & Friday!

  • #597 - Talkative Serial Killer - Kellogg, Idaho
    May 22 2025

    This week, in Kellogg, Idaho, when a family is murdered in their home, it leads detectives on a frantic hunt for two more victims, in an attempt to save them from a vicious serial killer. The hunt lasts almost 2 months, as the hope of finding them alive, begins to fade. Will they be found alive? The killer turns out to have killed before, and even defends his depravity through a series of blogs that will make your head spin!!


    Along the way, we find out that silver mining seems pretty dangerous, that sometimes you can tell exactly what someone is going to turn out like, and that once you've been caught being one of the worst human beings, ever, you should maybe not blog about it, from prison!!

  • #596 - Messy Methy Murder Conspiracy - Belle Fourche, South Dakota
    May 16 2025

    This week, in Belle Fourche, South Dakota, a trip to a friend's house to buy some meth, turns into a horrifying three day session of brutality, when a man is duct taped, and seeming driven all over town, in the trunk of car. He's also stuffed into a tool box, among other atrocities. Several people witness this, and no one does anything to help. Eventually, everyone involved thinks it's "no body, no crime", but they are very much mistaken! Will anyone lead police to the body??


    Along the way, we find out that Seth Bullock & Wild Bill Hickok didn't even know each other, that owing someone $250 for meth can be a life threatening situation, and that being on meth for 4 straight days can skew your remembering of times & dates!!

Finally I can review this podcast!

I've been listening for years and they never fail to make a murder somehow hilariously entertaining. I gave up on typical true crime, and there's no going back, after listening to these two guys tell the truly horrific & disgusting details of terrible crimes all interspersed with clever & witty comedy. I can't explain why it works - it just does.

Two comedians tell entertaining true crime stories

Two comedians tell entertaining true crime stories from small American towns. I listen from Australia and find it so interesting to learn bout the towns, hilarious to hear the host shitbag the small towns and mistakes made by criminals and police! The true crime story has me hooked till the end. I look forward to it every Friday!

We'll talk about it

Loving this. I listen to the new ones each week and I'm working my way back through the catalogue, and I've yet to lose interest. Fascinating, disturbing and hilarious. What a combo. 10/10 recommend 👍

STM is part of my daily routine. As someone who can't really stand the gorey stuff but interested in true crime, this podcast gives me the best of both worlds 😁

Clouds Are Fluffy

A great podcast for people with a dark sense of humour that identify as assholes but not
scumbags.

I'm in the car, on the way to rob the corner store

Been a listener since 2017, these guys put an incredible amount of research into every episode, and their chemistry is undeniable
