How It Started
I have never really been the type of person that could listen to podcasts. Â I never used to have free time to just be able to sit down and listen to something for longer than maybe 10 minutes. Â During the summer, I somehow became aware of a certain podcast called “My Favorite Murder”. Â I would listen to a few episodes while I was tanning where the hosts would read hometown murders that were sent in by listeners via email. Â They kept me entertained but I never found the time to make it through the entire episode.
A Realization
One day while I was driving to my boyfriend’s apartment, I got tired of the playlist I had been listening to for a couple of weeks.  I switched over to my podcast app, turned on an episode of “My Favorite Murder”, and was immediately hooked.  My hour drive went by in a flash and I couldn’t believe that I had made it through an entire episode without becoming distracted.  The time that I used to spend listening to the same songs over and over was quickly replaced with the voices of Karen and Georgia.
A Slight Obsession
After months of listening to podcast after podcast, I was still just as interested as the first time I put the podcast on in my car.  I had joined their Facebook group, engaged in conversations with other listeners, and even bought some merch.  The stories continue to get more interesting as I move through the list of recordings and honestly I don’t expect to lose interest any time soon.  Â
Not Just Murder
The hosts, Karen and Georgia, are hilarious and their voices are made for radio. Â They primarily focus on two murders each episode, but other subjects pop up during the show and I almost always find myself literally laughing out loud. Â If you are a fan of true crime or need something to listen to during a long car ride, give this podcast a listen. Â I promise you won’t regret it.
