- Lack of In-Depth Research: While the hosts bring humor and personal anecdotes to the podcast, some critics argue that they don’t always provide a comprehensive analysis of the cases.
- Sensationalism and Insensitivity: Occasionally, the hosts’ use of dark humor and lighthearted banter during discussions of heinous crimes can be perceived as insensitive or disrespectful to the victims and their families. This aspect has been a point of contention for certain listeners.
- Repetitiveness: Over time, some listeners have noticed certain recurring themes or stories in the podcast, which can lead to a sense of repetition. This has prompted criticism regarding the need for fresh and diverse content to maintain interest.

June 5, 2019 at 8:12 pmBeing relatively new to podcasts, I was asking around for recommendations for true crime podcasts that were not too emotionally draining to listen to, and one of my amazing friends suggested MFM. I was INSTANTLY hooked!!! Karen and Georgia are hilarious, quick-witted, relatable, and always talk about the cases they cover with respect. This can be super difficult to do, especially with such a potentially morbid and dreary topic. As a lifelong true crime and comedy lover, I could not recommend MFM more.
