I’ve been listening to Kristin and Mogab since the beginning and they are truly the best. Their chemistry is perfect and makes for one of the most unique “murder podcasts” I have found.
Kristin is the True Crime fanatic, who does the deep dive into each case and, each week, tells the whole story to Mogab, a True Crime Newbie who hasn’t heard any of them.
Considering Mogab openly admits to having no interest in true crime prior to TCC, it is mind blowing how flawlessly she slips into the roles of both the audience AND co-host.
Even if you enjoy true crime and have a decent understanding of investigative procedures, you’re still likely to learn something new nearly every week because Mogab asks questions you may have never considered and Kristin has the answers (or can usually find them)!
Most importantly, for me, podcasts with one narrator or two true crime obsessed hosts can be heavy, grisly, and even a little elitist, assuming the listener is already in on the details of the case or is proficient in police procedure/laws. The formula for TCC- a fanatic & a newbie- works so well here because Kristin brilliantly unfolds each case like a mystery novel and we get to experience it right alongside Mogab, who is able to help keep the journey from getting too dark with her bright humor, optimism, and empathy. While she often jokes that she was dragged into this role as co-host kicking and screaming, it’s her novice status and quick wit that make her exactly the right person for this job!
In summation, I really appreciate the fine balance of sensitivity to the victim and families with the delightful banter, insightful conversations, and blatantly hilarious honesty (Kristin WILL let you know if some of her sources are “40% accurate and Mogab WILL have the best takes).
Give them a listen. Then go ahead and binge. Finally, hop on Patreon and enjoy SO much bonus content.
