Listener Reviews

I usually don’t care for banter.. but the two hosts are SO engaging and on point, that I enjoy it here!There are many podcasters… but sadly, very few who combine the virtues of very good storytelling, thorough research.. and good voices. (There are podcasts out there that have okay content.. but the narrators’ voices are simply appalling.)Do give “LMK” a listen.. I guarantee you will be as addicted as I am. Literate, smart and witty.. what’s not to love?

They are awesome to listen to and have great voices. I am very picky about podcasts I listen to but when I came across theirs, I was hooked after episode 1. I love the stories, how passionate and caring they are and how they share about themselves as well. It’s nice getting to know them.

Despite making me question humanity every morning as I start my day, I just love this show. The hosts are genuine and strive to be objective. They’re also very intentional in their respect and honor of the victims and their families. They seem like people I would love to have as my neighbors. Engaging, well-researched and told with compassion, I can’t rate it highly enough.

Found this podcast about a month ago and I’ve already listened to every episode. I really like the storytelling and the little banter between you guys. Keep up the great work!!

I used to skip over the snack banter, but as I’ve gotten to the more recent episodes I find that I’m listening to the whole episode. I like the newer format of both reading. Great production value (I don’t notice the mouth sounds like I used to. Not sure if they’ve changed something or I just stopped noticing it). This podcast is now in my regular rotation and I really look forward to new episodes. Keep up the great work!

Tina! Do not pay attention to negative reviews. You are funny and engaging. Rich, you do such a great job with production. My only complaint…you ONLY put out one episode a week. PS. I love your snacks!

Tina and Rich do a fantastic job of researching and presenting these cases. Bravo!! My fav podcast. I listen to it religiously.

Love the format of your show. You both are terrific and truly compliment each other. Thanks for taking the time to research and share these stories.

LMK is one of my favorite, go-to podcasts. Their research is thorough, and they explain the cases very well. I appreciate that they aren’t political (as too many are) and that there’s a level of humor and levity, as I find pods without that are too dry or too sad and can ruin your day. Their balance is excellent, they are a great team. I especially love Tina’s quick whit and comments, and I love Rich’s sense of humor and support of his wife. They’re a great podcast duo and I look forward to every episode! I’d love to see them collaborate with other podcasts to see how they would do, I think that could be fun! Xoxo Allie

I think Rich and Tina do a great job discussing difficult stories clearly and with compassion. I love their friendly banter which lightens it up a little while still respectful of the serious dialogue. I also appreciate that they don’t mention any political views!!

I really love listening to you both- how you tell the stories, interact with each other and talking about your snacks 🤓 love it all! This is the one I go to first on my podcast list! Thank you ☺️

I really appreciate the way this couple lays out the information. I love that it’s not sensationalized or grow task but at the same time it gives enough detail to paint a picture of what is happening in each situation. Rich does such a great job of building his wife up and he always has an encouraging word but I gave this show four stars because Tina is very condescending towards her husband. I tried to ignore it, but she does it a lot. For instance, in the latest episode Rich says to his wife, do you want to explain what levity is and she does the snarky laugh that she often does with her husband and says well I think everybody already knows what that is but…. And she gives this brief description. No Tina, not everybody does know what that is so you shouldn’t assume. He’s just doing his job of being thorough and you should support him and not laugh at him. Seriously this happens a lot and I feel really bad for the husband because he just seems like a really cool guy and he does a great job connecting with the listener. If it wasn’t for him, I probably wouldn’t listen at all because she bothers me that much. When it comes to this attitude.

Only giving 5 stars for Rich. Tina is very condescending to her husband. She constantly interrupts him and takes his lightheaded jokes way too seriously, however Rich seems very kind and enjoyable and that’s why I will continue to listen.

Bring back bloopers!

Generally I enjoy this podcast, but as a follower of the case for almost 2yrs, you missed very important info that negates your conclusion of the microscopic glass shards in John’s sweatshirt making you think Karen hit him. The MSP had John belongings for over 6wks in their possession before they logged it and followed proper procedures…some of John’s clothes were taken off in the ambulance and discarded on the floor, other items were cut off at the hospital…none of the items were appropriately handled. The examiners that sent evidence off to be tested did not send the actual items to the certified labs, they only swabbed the items themselves and sent the swabs…admittedly they didn’t follow the standard operating procedures. Another HUGE things you didn’t address were the ARCA reconstruction team that the FEDS hired independently on their own and turned the info over to the defense to use for this case- ARCA is world renowned and they concluded definitively that John was not hit by a car and Karen’s car did not have a collision with a human. There was also a dog bite expert confirmed that John’s arm was in fact a result of a large animal biting/tearing/scratching a human. There are SO many more inconsistencies that show clear corruption in this case and just last week the FEDS made a SWAT arrest of an officer from the SAME area in the Sandra Birchmore case (he groomed her as a child and murdered her as a young woman and framed it as a suicide-research that one!!) and it’s been proven now that there are MANY of the same law enforcement officers involved in both the Birchmore and Read cases…it’s all mind blowing!!!

Tina and Rich are so endearing! I’m 34 with 3 kids and find Tina and Rich to be a soothing and comforting part of my week. Thank you for creating this podcast and caring about putting it out so consistently. I look forward to it and am grateful to y'all for doing it!!

I love this podcast so much because their voices are soothing and calming and there’s not a lot of errrs, ums, uh filler words. Great summaries and seem like a very kind and happy couple.

Oh my gosh the way you told this last one was amazing. I particularly liked how you discussed the strangeness of this one at the end. Oh and the Maine content was interesting too. Sorry about the Covid experience.

This podcast is very well researched! I really enjoyed learning things about cases that I thought I knew very well!

Tina and Rich are the podcast parents I didn’t know I needed. Truly my favorite podcast!

Well researched and presented with compassion.

There is just something about your endearing relationship that makes listening to these horrible crimes very compelling. It’s brilliant to take stories about acts committed by the people we trust the most, our partners, and tell them from the perspective of a seemingly perfectly healthy marriage. You add humor while still showing respect to victims and their families, emotion when it’s unavoidable, and are clear and succinct in your reporting. I thought the snacks were silly at first, but now I like that personal touch. Keep it up!

Strong research, straightforward narrative & dessert. Yaasss

You two are the sweetest, most adorable couple! I have literally never written a review for anything in my life, but after hearing the claims that someone said about you not writing your own material, I felt compelled to express my gratitude and admiration for all the work you two put into this podcast. I am an avid podcast listener, and I get very annoyed at so many where there is constant laughter and inane repetition of information. You all get to the point immediately and succinctly, and I just adore the way you approach the topics with sensitivity, while avoiding too saccharine an approach. Thank you for being you, and for ALL of the hard work you put into this podcast. You are appreciated!
