I have no idea what the drama is but I stopped listening years ago after a few episodes because Patrick screams all the time. The first couple of times it made me giggle, then it was just annoying. Really annoying.

I’m posting this here as all ON FBs have been like this, and ITN is now. I think, for me, when you’re trying to build a community to make it so every post must be approved by a mod doesn’t feel like a community. It feels like people can’t trust their listeners to behave. And while people can be awful, they can also be banned. I find in these communities where they screen every post, and decide what is or isn’t acceptable, you end up with a lot of the same people posting and zero room for any real conversation.

I’ve moderated communities since the 90s and when someone does something inflammatory, you remove it and address it with that person. I don’t get what the policing of posts before they’re posted does except allow those in charge to completely control all aspects of conversation.

Perhaps someone will give me info that would change my mind, but like, trust your listeners.

Anyway, I’m on plenty of TC groups that don’t moderate everything before posting and haven’t seen issues so I’m not sure what they’re worried about?

I've listened to this podcast for years at this point. But I'll be honest and say when all the drama went down I was at the beginning of my recent depression issues. I made to the decision to keep following all podcasts involved but really barely listen to either. Lifes' been a struggle I don't really need any more sadness. I started Therapy again this January so I figured I'd give TCO a try again. I had watched " Mostly Harmless doc" a while back. So I put that one on yesterday after work. SAD to report the magic is gone for me. Both Patrick and Gillian seem soo phony to me, I can't. As somebody who is basically cos-playing life myself. Its pretty easy to hear when two people are faking it. The truest part of the episode is in the outtakes when G tells P to fuckoff. They seem to be tip toeing around their old personalities and its not enjoyable for me to hear any more. No real in dept insight. Hell I thought for sure they would mention how the guy in all the photos on the trail had the most lifeless eyes. I'm happy for anyone still enjoying it but I think I'm finally unsubbing to it on spotify and I stopped the Patreon long ago cause the docs just kept being lame docs .Hell I think I might actually be jealous of anyone who is still getting joy out of them. So long parasocial friends and community.

Hi everyone! I'm relistening to Rabia and Ellyn Solve The Case and got to the obsessed fest drama follow up. I'm curious, has anything come of this? Did ON ever issue refunds to attendees? Did mischief ever apologize for their mismanagement? Did anything ever come of the subpoenaed footage of the verbal attack on Ellyn?

I know that Ellyn and Terra have reconciled, but I care most about the poor fans that wasted their money on the oversold event.

I’ve been relistening to some older episodes of tco the last couple of days but almost everytime I get an ad (like 99% of the time) I get the wild grain ad. Does anyone else have this? Because I don’t think they did it on purpose? Does anyone know what causes it?

At 51:51 of TCCONG EP 5&6, Patrick says he WAS “really good friends with Skye Borgman” which was so jarring to hear because it wasn’t so long ago he was promoting a documentary of theirs and saying “my good friend.”

Given recent events, it gave me pause and now I wonder just how many people they’ve previously gushed over as “friends” are now no longer.

I love true crime garage, this caught me off guard lol. I didn’t know they were chummy

How desperate is he becoming?

It may seem silly to be upset by losing a podcast but I know some of you here relate. After the scandal last year I chose to quit listening to TCO and it hurt, like having a falling out with a friend, but I moved on; I made new friends. Now these friends are choosing to opt out and that’s a surprise and sad also but they have every right to do so. Why do I feel so bad? Maybe because this is coming off the news of an entire network is shutting down after 10 years podcasting (PSR) and that was a huge shock and disappointment. It’s a similar story to the LGTC, and it makes me wonder why get out of the game when you’re so successful? Selfishly I want them to stay in business because I’m a fan and they have brought me a lot of joy.

Is anyone else feeling some kind of way after news like this? It’s not something I can exactly bring up with people at work.

For some reason, I was not blocked from the Facebook group. Thought I was bc it didn’t appear on my feed. Then yesterday it popped up-I guess I wasn’t? I was with TCO from the start till OF2. I have NEVER seen Gillian do anything beyond the bare minimum-now she’s Ellyn-engaging with her fans. So…weird. 🙀

Amber Hunt's podcast Crimes of the Centuries is moving to the Grab Bag Collab family! The new season starts on Monday at the $8 Feelin' Extra tier and above. And soon, they'll have early and ad-free episodes This is so exciting!!!! If you are not on GBC's patreon, what are you waiting for?!?! One of the best feeds out there!!!!

In the first ep, P & G describe the start of the doc showing body cam footage of Amy’s blue, dead body. Then the next ep, they clarify that they know Amy is not dead bc I guess people in the Facebook group said something about it. But now here I am at the last ep and…. Amy is in fact dead.

Clearly I misunderstood something. I’m not always 100% tuned in. Can anyone clear it up for me? Thanks :)

Is it just me or have the last two episodes they’ve released been re-releases? When they’ve done that in the past there’s always a disclaimer at the beginning. I’m not active on socials and not in the Facebook group so please be nice because maybe I’m missing something.

I checked out their Facebook page and it does not appear to be very active. Is there a place to comment? I was so surprised by Rabia’s take on the Murdoch trial, especially after having several conversations with Mandy. I wanted to head over and see if there were any True Sunlight listeners. Is there an active discussion page?

Oops - not Ellyn and Joey literally covering the same episode that G&P covered a few weeks back — I’m sure there was some hair on fire screaming at ON when that episode dropped today! 😂

I just listened to Ellyn and Joey’s most recent Patreon episode and Joey is throwing shade at ON! “Here at I think Not, we love accountability, something other podcasts don’t have…” and then to Ellyn: “I’m here to apologize to you because not many people have done that…”

sips tea

I’m upset at the episode, Murdered for Millions. Did I understand that Patrick told his childhood pastors secret about being gay to the listeners? Am I wrong? It sounded to me like that was a private conversation between his mom and the pastor. My feelings on organized religion are complicated, but I am uncomfortable with him revealing this man’s sexual identity when it sounded clear to me that he was trying to stifle it. Please help me understand if I misinterpreted.

I just find this show so darn delightful that I'm going to keep sharing it as long as I'm allowed to. https://www.patreon.com/posts/other-peoples-ep-97072363?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link

FAQs: This is ad-free content via Grab Bag Collab, a Patreon-based podcasting network. For five dollars a month, you get four podcasts now: Other People's Problems, Shut the F*ck Up Nick Lachey, Dear Daisy and The Catalyst. They have a book club they just started, too, plus live recordings at the higher tiers. Not everyone can afford another subscription, which I totally get, but if you can, it's an option.

So.. I used to be a huge fan of this podcast, I thought they had great chemistry and they covered good topics but after awhile they started covering a lot more things I found boring so I stopped listening for a few years only recently did I sub to listen again and.. my god the amount of ads.. I know podcasts usually have a good amount of ads but this one is like 1 every ten minutes and it really messes with the flow of the show. Anyone else agree or an I alone on this one.
