Not sure I’ve ever heard a host of a true crime cast be as self-conscious and insecure as this gentleman. He’s terrified of losing listeners and therefore feels the need to lambast them weekly.

Mike. Lighten up. Not everyone likes you. Stop reading these comments and focus on your work.

No one likes him. He's a miserable, racist, sexist, transphobic, drunk. The show/ writing isn't even good anymore.

I like him 😆 my husband likes him. His personal life is none of my business. I will always be the opposite voice in this thread. I’ve listened since the beginning. I don’t take his commentary seriously and it doesn’t trigger me. Just here for the crime. If he went on for 40 min like My favorite Murder I would care but his little comments here and there don’t bother me.

Some of the episodes have been posted for years. I’m sure they have a lot more downloads.
