    Sound
    I Love u guys too! But I have to agree that the sound is quite maddening. Especially when wearing headphones YIKES!😳

    Love you guys
    I’ve listened from the beginning and love the show. Haven’t been able to watch love in a while and provide a comment so I’m going to have to do it here: could microphones be adjusted so the same quality and volume level is achieved? I have to turn up louder to hear Katie and not always clearly and then my ears bleed when we switch back to Kristi. I’m willing to suffer it but figured you might like to know it’s happening. <3

    AI songs are cringy but otherwise, great
    Eta: WHY IS KATIE’s AUDIO ALWAYS SO BAD?! It’s impossible to hear her. I turn it up for her stories and then go deaf when Kristi talks. It’s been months of this. Please fix. I love them and their case coverage but the AI songs are…. Awful. I hate when they start. They are such a disruption from the flow of the shows and it kills the vibe. I hope that they stop putting them into their normal episodes. I know that just bc it’s not for me does not mean everyone hates them, so maybe creating a separate show for the songs would be an option. Regardless, still 5 stars because the one bad thing outweigh all of their good reporting.

    I just can’t anymore
    This podcast had potential with its deep dives into true crime cases, but the execution is rough. The hosts constantly inject their political views and sympathy for convicted criminals, making it feel more like an opinion piece than a true crime show. On top of that, the AI-generated songs, especially the painfully cringy theme song, make it borderline unlistenable. It’s also hard to take them seriously when they advocate for policies like allowing homeless encampments in public parks, ignoring the very real consequences for taxpayers who just want to use those spaces safely. I’ve personally found a hypodermic needle on a playground where my kids play, one that’s also a popular spot for homeless people. It’s frustrating to see a podcast that claims to care about justice overlook the impact these issues have on everyday people. The hosts also seem far more concerned with the rights of the convicted than with the victims or their families. They overuse the term ā€œviolation of constitutional rightsā€ while giving little attention to the suffering of those affected by these crimes. And if their constant political commentary wasn’t enough, they even tried launching a political podcast. It must have been a complete failure since they only managed to put out four episodes. If you’re looking for a serious, fact-based true crime podcast that actually prioritizes victims, this one isn’t it.

    Just a sound issue
    UPDATE… listener beware these episodes are not clean… it seems that hosts’ opinions are sometimes based on limited facts. Such as in the Delphi case. There was a hearing to allow third party suspects and the defense failed miserably and at trial we learned confessions from the defendant contained facts only the killer would’ve known, facts that were not in discovery and were verified as fact as a result of his confession. We need to stay open minded and consider all the facts that are in the news but are presented at trial. Past review. volume level is very different from one host to the other so it’s hard to listen if you’re using AirPods. It’ll blow your ear drums at times

    I like the podcast
    The AI songs are killing it for me.

    Yall are getting Delphi wrong
    The evidence is clear.
  • Bookgasm
    Huh, They’ve Gone Full Conspiracy
    The bias on the Delphi trial is super disappointing. Started listening to this podcast during the Vallow/Daybell trials, but their coverage of Delphi is so bad. Can’t believe you’ve gone down the conspiracy rabbit hole; it’s QAnon-level stuff. Check out Hidden True Crime for neutral reporting on the case; you’ll hear the evidence and not the conspiracies.

    Go-to podcast
    I used to really like these ladies and feel their coverage of Vallow and Daybell was factual with a nice inside look from a Mormon pov. 10/10 wrt that case. The incorrect information they’re ā€œreportingā€ with Delhi is wildddd. I listen to a variety of sources some are defense-bias (Burkhart) and prosecution-bias (Murder Sheet) and then just the facts (Hidden True Crime). I clearly don’t mind a bias, but True Crime Squad is not just bias. It’s misstating. We don’t have to agree to RA’s innocence or guilt, but I think the sisters are misunderstanding the opinions they’re listening to as facts.

    Been listening to the sisters since January 23. Got ALL my information on Vallow/Daybell from them. They have progressively gotten better - with intro music format etc…but have always been very good! Love their comments! They make me laugh when they spill the tea - sometimes I clutch my pearls, lol!

    Good Coverage but Occasionally Unwilling to be Wrong
    Let me preface by saying that I quite like this show and have been listening since the Lori Vallow trial. I appreciate how the hosts center the victims and their families and generally treat all involved with compassion. A recent incident however, rubbed me the wrong way. Having just listened to the most recent episode covering the case of a teenager accused of murder and attempted murder, one of the hosts used the term ā€œanhedoniaā€ to describe ā€œinability to recognize mental illness in oneselfā€. When a listener in the chat named Ron disagreed on the definition, his response was treated quite dismissively - well, the host said, it’s how we define it in America, it’s how we define it in mental health, etc. I, an American with experience in the world of mental health, also thought anhedonia had a different definition (lack of ability to feel pleasure, hedonia as in hedonism) and did some research, and Ron was correct according to every resource I can find. The inability to recognize one’s own illness is anosognosia. A minor quibble, I suppose, but I found the tone used towards someone who supports the show to be quite unkind, and it’s given me pause about continuing to listen. Maybe it was just an off day for the host, but given that it is still bothering me a day later, I figured I’d comment in the hopes of engendering a more compassionate space for all involved.

    Fantastic true crime coverage that will also make you laugh
    Who knew the funniest, smartest true crime podcasters are a pair of sisters, healers, living in Rexburg Idaho? Not me. Not ever! Well, that was rather dumb and snobby of me. Cause although I’ve never been to a healer (not even fully sure what one is, but now very much want to know) and never imagined myself particularly welcome in Rexburg Idaho, with True Crime Squad I’m home! Sorry ladies, that I took so long to find you!
  • astaire13
    Your song are bops!
    I love true crime podcasts, and this one has some cases you won’t hear about on others, the best Vallow/Daybell coverage .. and now ..songs!
  • Lorrie legs
    Hysterical!!!
    Ok… you guys are just too funny! The way you are using those clips of the attorney for Chad ! I am laughing out loud !! Great job ! So entertaining! Keep it up .
  • Zach n Hudson
    Love this podcast!
    These two sisters are awesome! They give fantastic insight and knowledge into the case as well as the the Mormon religion… which I knew nothing about.

    Love this podcast!
  • Amber Cannon
    A voluminous amount of amazing
    Just realized I’ve somehow never left a review. I absolutely love these ladies. They do amazing research and have incredible insights. I love how they share opinions and some inside info. However, they never cross a line or involve themselves in unethical ways. Especially regarding the Vallow/Daybell case, this is the one you want to listen to. Let’s just say I came for that case, but stayed because they’re genuinely funny, kind and informative. Highly recommend!!

    Didn’t Chad say he was burning limbs not branches? Maybe a Freudian slip? Donna J

    Enjoying your show
    I was pleasantly surprised to find this podcast. I am a criminal attorney and sushi away from shows cover trials, but your insight on the Daybell trial has been very interesting and at times entertaining. I’m a fan.

    A bit of Idaho in Germany šŸ‡©šŸ‡Ŗ
    I enjoy listening to True Crime squad. I am from Pocatello but live in Germany. I am familiar with the local places they talk about. They are knowledgeable and I have learned a lot from them. Keep up the good work Thanks šŸ˜Ž
  • Marerad
    Great!
    These ladies are intelligent, well-informed & fun. Keep up the good work!
  • All Ears No Tears
    Awesome coverage by a hard-working sister team!
    I’m a true-crime podcast aficionado and this one is unique and highly informative! Katie and Kristi are a sister team that co-hosts the podcast. They offer updates that keep me up-to-date on some of the biggest and most complicated cases. They are funny when appropriate and I really respect their efforts to show respect for the victims of the crimes they cover. I feel like I’m spending time with a couple of great friends; they are in my ear when I walk my dog and need to unwind at the end of the day. Recommend highly if you are looking for a unique listen!

    Great show
    I listened to the episode about Ruby Franke and Jodi Hildebrandt. I really appreciated their perspective as ex-Mormons to shed light on how they may have justified this. Not sure if it’s a regular issue, but I had some frustration with the audio. I was listening in the car. One host’s voice was always clear and understandable. The other was much quieter and less quality. I found myself having to turn the volume up and down multiple times. I sometimes couldn’t hear the quieter sister at the end of her sentences particularly.

    Not present
    These people are drunk or high and blame everything on Trump. That is so boring. Arent you about truth? The slurred speech makes me think Im talking to my stoned friend.
  • amabd a
    Uhhh no
    Apparently the public is not allowed to care or questions potential misuse of police resources. If you question a story it’s because you are an u caring human, not that you are curious about what actually happened. News flash, wanting to hear the whole story and having inquisitive mind to crime stories IS the true crime audience. No one was rooting for anyone’s demise, you’re right it is rare people return home, and THATS WHY PEOPLE ARE CURIOUS.

    Hard pass
    These women are way too opinionated and giggly.
  • shellrae
    I love these ladies !
    These two gals are sisters and have great chemistry. Check out their Lori Vallow coverage. They live in Idaho and are former LDS and personally knew a lot of people involved in the case (law enforcement and such)they had a lot of insight on that trial. They cover other true crime and are so funny and witty! They have become one of my top 5 podcasts. They also have a you tube channel. Give a listen and or a watch.
  • Candy Queen😘
    THE VERY BEST
    These girls are unmatched when it comes to education, knowledge and dedication to the facts!
  • wli
    So stoked to have found this podcast!
    I had wanted a podcast that would give me the latest on the Lori Satan trial and I found it! I get so excited to see what they have to say about the trial every day. They are thorough and detailed. And I like their commentary. I also appreciate that while they might not be practicing Mormons, they are still respectful when they describe parts of the culture that might not be known to listeners. Keep up the good work ladies!!!

    Colby’s testimony
    He really called her out and held her accountable, and yet is able tell her he is praying for her and Chad - I think Colby is a great guy.
  • SNB$
    Gross
    Like the podcast but you could make a drinking game about how many times you guys say ā€œso grossā€!
  • taymiller92
    Thank you for doing what you do šŸ’–
    I’m a regular listener on Spotify but came here to say I just appreciate what you both are doing and you’re one of the podcasts I check for for daily updates (long time lurker!) one day I’ll be present for a YouTube live šŸ˜‚ but regardless, thank you for giving me a laugh while also always being mindful and respectful of the victims. You both rock! - tay
  • J botello
    Speak in the microphone
    Had to turn the volume up and down because they are talking soft then loud, close then far from the microphone. Couldn’t make it through an episode it was so bad.

    Enjoyable and informative. Unscripted moments of magic.
  • sanchezbauer
    Thank you for covering MMIW
    I was listening to Native Sisters podcast and they mentioned your podcast. I’m so entranced and look forward to work now as I listen to all of your episodes while at work. I see you have 514 episodes at this time and get upset that I may listen to them too quickly. Please keep the episodes coming ā¤ļø

    Just Stop
    Knock it off with this ā€˜psychic’ nonsense- there’s literally no such thing and absolutely ZERO evidence to support anything these charlatans claim. Stop giving these hucksters attention and they just might crawl back into their hole.
  • sk1885
    Beautiful!!
    I just found y’all and listened to the Miracles episode and I just cried!! So many beautiful things that were said!! I too have experienced miracles in my life over and over I am so thankful I heard this!!
  • Sefalu
    A surprise to me
    I have to admit, I was a bit wary of this podcast. I quickly warmed up to the Psychic Sisters. I particularly enjoy the insights into the religious aspects of the Daybell/Vallow case. Also enjoy the updates to ongoing cases.
  • g43 edc
    Good topics on the missing
    That one lady is easily set off and rude to the other host. Even when she’s in the wrong. Lol
  • emparman
    Simply amazing
    These ladies are amazing … thank you for your podcast
  • Vince's Gal
    Love these girls!
    I feel like these girls are legit and love the format. Only changes I would make are to lose the personal chit chat and stop saying ā€œyou knowā€ so much. Other than that I love the psychic portion BEST!
  • PopTotsandRoll
    No
    Don’t waste your time on this nonsense 🄓. Nope nope nope.
  • AmandaK1983
    Obsessed!
    This is by far my favorite podcast! I love their analysis on cases, they’re very good at what they do. You’ll love listening to them!
