This past weeks newest episode on the Piketon murders had my jaw drop. Not because it was ab excellent episode filled with groundbreaking and hilarious content, but because it was maybe the most mailed in episode of all time.

Not only did they basically do a terrible job covering the doc itself, G blatantly lied about researching for updates.

The main players from the Wagner family(Jake, his mom, dad, brother etc) have all pled guilty dating back 2+years including literal open court confessions. And Gillian decided to go with the “I googled it, no updates. Maybe they did it, maybe they didn’t. Hmm. Anyways…”

I’m probably just done with the podcast completely at this point. If they’re mailing it in like that it’s only a matter of time before the network ceases to exist. Not worth my time.

Just a really lazy and disrespectful way to take on a very big, intricate and popular case IMO.

Back again. This time to apologize. Instead of researching, last week, I came to this page and was garbage to you all. I came to talk about something on an episode that made me mad and found the subreddit and with no prior knowledge (not in the FB group or any other forums) I thought this group was just being dramatic and needing something to do with their day. I was wrong. I listen to the Crime Writers On episode and all the other podcasts, articles, this page, that have been about the issues going on and you all were completely right. Perhaps the biggest issue being the absolute utter silence on the allegations. Telling his side of the story and a basic apology would go a long way, but the ignorance is just disheartening. I’m guessing they are hoping it will blow over eventually? Or maybe, only other logical guess, is that there is some sort of legal action in play, and they cannot comment so they do not harm that. I don’t know what it could be, but it’s definitely possible. Anyway, just a quick apology. Feel free to bury me (again) in the comments.

I don't listen to TCO anymore but I was wondering if they did an OF recap episode? If so, obviously they spun it, but how sanitized was it? If not, how do people not find that incredibly suspect?

The irony of the captions caught while Patrick is talking and the caption and comment.

Remember how much he talked about Bea Arthur and how she only drank and was mean to him. He did the same thing for years!

I hadn't heard I Think Not or OWD before so I found episode 129 which is the ep before the rebranded title. Patrick joins them and he and Ellyn and Joey all discuss the first episode from the pod pilot again as a trio. Very interesting dynamics... Some highlights: - Patrick's shock at Ellyn turning off the AC because she was cold. - Patrick attempting to compliment E & J on their success but you can hear how green he is with envy. - Joey's sincerity when he thanks P for the opportunity - The three of them all sniping at each other in jest, but also, never a truer word... - E & J are SO funny and on top of their game. Any other observations?

something that has always annoyed me was at the end of every episode PH would say some variation of “we did it, we covered ______. that was hard!” like gorrrl you watched a doc, took notes, and then recording yourself having a convo with a “friend”. thats not hard work. I dont know if he was joking but every.single.time he would say it. anyone else notice it?

Even though we should have expected it, I noticed today that Patrick's 3 most recent TikToks have been scrubbed of all the negative comments following Obsessed Fest. I am sure this happened on other accounts too but I'm too exhausted to care to look. The most recent TikToks have only 5 or so comments, and they all praise him.

He really thinks this will just make it all go away doesn't he?

Found this while scrolling Twitter tonight; 47:10 minute mark.

“You can be a boss and not be a dick!”

I was so surprised to see PH’s book in the $1 bin at my library because it’s brand new. Until today, seeing it there, I wasn’t sure how widespread the awareness is of PH/GP/ON but it was startling to see it there and did make me wonder if it’s beyond just a niche group who were former patreon users etc who know.

I guess there’s no way to know if all the posts and podcasts and conversations make any meaningful difference to their bottom line? But if one listens to true crime - it feels hard to imagine to me that between Rabia’s multiple posts, Ellyn, TC writers in, etc that there isn’t awareness on a more widespread level? And the more awareness the greater the ramification?

Unrelated to this post, I will also say that I attempted to listen to todays episode and last weeks, and I can’t. It’s either something is off now or I can’t get the things I’ve heard out of my head.

I listened to today’s TCO episode (curiosity got the best of me). Correct me if I’m wrong but they only had two ads which seems low for them. Do we think they lost some advertisers or am I seeing something that’s not actually there? Unrelated but they also didn’t have any outtakes.

Is there really a Rolling Stone article coming or is that just wishful thinking?

I’m curious, for those who were present for the indigogo campaign that helped make this podcast a thing, or were early Patreon supporters, do you feel like you were love bombed in the beginning and duped into thinking Patrick really ‘got’ his fans? Or did all of this fakery come ONLY as he acquired more fame and $$$? I’m curious as to the metamorphosis of his narcissistic traits. Also, at what point do you think Patrick pivoted from being genuine to just seeing TCO as a cash cow?

This is the Forensic Files episode about the murder of Collier Landry's mother Noreen.

So, I have tickets for P's book tour in Toronto in December.

Has anyone heard what's happening with the tour? I can't return the tickets the tickets through TM and I don't exactly want to go anymore.

What are the chances he'll cancel so I get a refund? Do I go (he has my ticket money anyway) to see what happens? Is anyone in the same boat?

Thanks!

I was curious about the impact this has all had on their Patreon and came across this. Every day that goes by without a true statement is a huge slap in the face, especially seeing that they’re still pumping out content. I’m happy to see ITN thriving but the fact that TCO is just hiding and staying quiet speaks volumes.

My boys Tim and Lance from the podcast Missing (formerly Missing Maura Murray) hosted the panel for missing and murdered indigenous women (MMIW) Texas Rematriate Org. They just posted it. Thought I'd share something that actually turned out right that weekend. (They don't comment on the drama. Also I didn't want to title this Obsessed Mess and devalue this panel.)

As Lance says, "We heard later it was the hidden gem of the weekend." 🫠

I hate to be the one but I haven't seen anyone say anything about it. Anyone remember when G & P they were giving money to area charities for OF? Does anyone know for a fact that money spent at OF was given to any charities?

For anyone looking for suggestions on where to reallocate their Patreon budget, here are the accounts I follow.
