Listening to the Gabby Petito podcast now. Ironic how they're saying that the 'arm chair detectives' were out in force and being a nuisance, you're literally feeding into it with your podcast about true crime? And the public interest actively helped them find her body with that sighting by the other van life couple. I thought I remembered at the time them saying they weren't going to do an episode on this case even though it was being widely requested?

They did say that. They seem to be jumping on all of the more current cases lately. It feels a bit icky to me really... I wonder if it's because of their new partnership, they are trying to make it their thing.
I don't like it when they cover new cases. Most people into true crime would have been one of the "armchair detectives" and we've already read the Reddit threads and social media posts and know everything there is to know about it. It's just boring.
Yeah I agree. They certainly think a lot themselves and act like they're investigative journalists. The 'research' they do is just googling stuff and reading articles or more often than not listening to other podcasts!
In the Delphi episode Suruthi kept saying she'd never seen a probable cause affidavit like that one, as if she's a lawyer who spends her life pouring over them.
It drove me insane. That was the beginning of the end for me. She can't even pronounce the word 'affidavit' properly.
They seem like they are constantly bickering over each other these days
Well well well.
They have a totally new podcast called Filthy Ritual. Intro and one episode released.
Its NOT under the RedHanded banner.
I know how much work goes into an episode, I knew they had an intern that’s now grown to a staff of 6 maybe?
Zero chance they are researching and writing or editing.
Interesting to see how this lands with the diehards.
It wasn’t shouted about much until todays SM push by unknown accounts (which is how I saw it) the promo was out on 12th April I think

I see they have just done a subscriber episode on the Christchurch Massacre. I live (and grew up) in CHCH so I don't know if I'll be able to listen. Still feels a little too soon
OK I'm listening because I simply can't resist a con artist story. I find them so fascinating.
So far it's pretty good?! It sounds like they actually did some investigative work (probably not all off their own back) and interviewed people involved in the case.
Lots of TC podcasts do jump on cases because it drives their figures, subscribers and Patreon. Look at The Murdaugh murders, Gabby Petito etc but I always think it’s a bit, ghoulish?
Let things settle, stuff come out that is not part of the court cases etc, deeper insights that the msn are incapable of finding (or don’t care).
Latest main feed episode is 46 minutes. What a joke.
Isn’t it! Did you hear the ad at the beginning? 6 months free wondery subscription for listeners, the backlash about short handed must have been significant to do that!
I was pretty appalled to hear them refer to lung cancer caused by asbestos (mesothelioma) as being 'so 1980s' and tittering away at their comment. It didn't feel very 1980s when the most wonderful, caring man died in my arms from it last year.
Suruthi's ever increasing slide to the right smacks of a girl parroting her new (ish) man's opinions. She's starting to sound like Piers Morgan.
I know Hannah can be a bit 'gap yah' cringe at times but she comes off to me as quite vulnerable. Whilst she fundamentally disagrees with a lot of Suruthi's opinions, I feel she has lost her confidence to counter argue as Suruthi is incredibly articulate.. but also aggressive in her rants and doesn't give any openers for debate. Must be nice to be so convinced you're right all the time.

I have listened but WTF. I know someone who died from it very recently too.
Suruthi is very articulate but she is also an incredibly arrogant pseudointellectual.
She sounds well read but in reality she just reads the news online like the rest of us and then does her best to regurgitate it on her podcast.
People don't tune into true crime podcasts to hear social commentary or political takes. Especially incorrect ones.
She has variously been so LOUD, CONFIDENT AND WRONG about aspects of US culture and life in Iran to the point where I've had to stop listening. I'm sure there are other things but those are two examples that I happen to know a lot about.
The biggest indicator that she's actually really ignorant is her unbelievably comment about Hillsborough. I'm sorry but if you didn't know the reality of that situation and you grew up in the UK in the 90s and 00s, you are not as well informed as you present yourself to be.
Hannah is clearly so insecure and I think she allows herself to be overshadowed and dominated by Suruthi who I'm sure rules with an iron fist as the "brains" of the outfit.
I’ve been listening to their old eps lately (I’m talking like ep 26 etc) and Suruthi is like a different (far more likeable person.)
She also seems a lot more interested back then in what Hannah had to say and Hannah seems more confident in them.
I found the Brexit discussion recently very revealing in that Hannah said she disagreed but didn’t want to get into it - it seems like S would now be very hard to have these discussions with. I don’t like to reduce her down to parroting her partner but it does all seem very coincidental that she has changed her views in line with the relationship happening…

I think it was in UTD last year when S was saying how if there was another vote she would vote to leave, and I just thought duck you and cancelled my subscription. People had their reasons for voting leave, which I disagree with, but given how badly it has gone and negatively affected so many, and how it's impacting peace in Northern Ireland, I just really thought duck you. Nothing but a smug self interested twit.
They've been getting ripped to shreds on Reddit lately, there are more than a few unhappy ex-listeners on there.
I really like True Crime Campfire, two American women but they're both quite funny in an understated way. Most of the cases I haven't heard before and they don't go off topic much.
Thank you, I'll give it a go today
Interesting people not happy with the length of an episode. Assume that’s including all the personal chatter, politics and ads?
May as well go down the big mad true crime route as she is another grifter who finally hit on a winning strategy and makes one hour long case spin out to 4 episodes with the ads
