Umbrella and ASMR
- they (mostly Morgan) uses umbrella terms way too often.
TOXIC, PEDAPHILE.. just extremely strong opinions and "knows everything about everything"
At the end of the day.. HUGE saying they use on a consistent basis!
Also not a fan of the ASMR this podcast gives off..
Morgan can't say two words without smacking so loud into the mic. Needs to back away some, very annoying for a lot of us with sensory issues.
I do love the stories, I don't even mind when they go on tangents. They just need to breathe, be a little less ignorant, get more informed, and be a little more aware of diverse audience.

Very clearly one perspective.
Personally I lik a lot of the takes on the stories but I really don't like the episodes with Lauren because often she either says her opinion and then changes it when Morgan doesn't agree. I think that is spineless because then she tries to explain how the reasoning behind her initial opinion is actually in line with Morgans. It is also very clear she doesn't think outside a certain privileged perspective, although Morgan does this from time to time too. There have been situations where it's clear if they looked through a POC perspective their would be different answers. Also some odd comments like people tell me 'thier spanish name' that's weird it's like choosing your 'asian name'.

TURN IT UP A NOTCH
Only assholes who don’t show their real names announce their departure. Literally the only podcast I can listen too. Personally I relate to Morgan and have liked most of her guests. They give their opinion respectfully about stories they read online and it’s just that, their opinion. I find myself following along commenting in my head to things that are said. Sometimes I agree, sometimes I don’t, that’s the beauty of it.
Morgan, please don’t let the negativity in some of these reviews get you down. You’re awesome and your ideas are awesome and your podcast is awesome, we’ll have to work on some of the listeners, but usually the trash takes itself out.

good listen, except for the non-binary erasure
I enjoy the show but I can’t stand how one of the co-hosts constantly feels the need to gender the people in the stories when the writer doesn’t specify. The same host has misgendered non-binary people in other episodes, and despite apologizing for one of the instances the co-hosts didn’t bother to correct her. I know this show cares about creating a safe environment for people of all different kinds, so maybe work on the language you use. Someone’s gender identity rarely has any affect on reddit stories, and if it does OP will specify. I can tell y’all are open to learning and growing so I hope you at least accept my two cents c: Sure hope to see improvements.

So judgemental
I was already getting annoyed by the host’s strong opinions and refusing to see other point of views but The victim blaming and judging in the true crime episode really turned me off…

Disappointed
Wowww the victim blaming made me CRINGE. Maybe leave the “true crime” to people with more tact

Love the pod but...
The true crime episode just wasn’t it. Don’t pick a story to read when know you can’t pronounce most of the words because they are in a different language. Also, you incorrectly called Elisa Lam Holly Lam.

must listen
this podcast is a whirlwind of emotions. some of the chosen themes are super funny while some can be a bit more serious at times with reddit posts that make you want to laugh, cry, or scream but overall keep you invested and wanting to hear more. listening to morgan’s opinions and input is funny because i agree with what she says 99% of the time. overall a great podcast that keeps you entertained and wanting to hear more.

Love love LOVE!!!!
I love everything about this podcast. From the host to the co-hosts she brings on. I typically get super heated with Morgan and agree with her takes 100% when everyone else is giving the benefit of the doubt. 😂 I unfortunately didn’t really like the newest episode (True Crime one). True Crime is my favorite and I really just love when Morgan has hot takes on different subjects. Also, in that episode she said Holly Lam. I think the case they were talking about is Elisa Lam, not a woman named Holly? Morbid did an amazing podcast episode talking about how it definitely could have been an accident on Elisa’s part. 100% worth listening to. Anyway, keep up the awesome work!! I can’t wait to subscribe to your Patreon when I have the extra money.

Victim blaming
Disappointed in the amount of victim blaming In The last episode … otherwise enjoying the stories

Shouldn’t have ventured to true crime
You guys definitely should not have done true crime, the episode was extremely victim blamey and saying what you would’ve done for a situation you have no clue about. I loved the show before but this episode really turned me off to it

full of disappointment
after listening to the newest episode about “true crime”, i should have realized the first red flag was when you pronounced Elisa Lam’s name as “Holly”. morgan, seriously? do your research before speaking on a subject as serious as DEATH. but then you go on to victim blame a woman who was being stalked and could have potentially lost her life?? “a little too late, lady.” wow. so much judgement for that poor girl. i am truly saddened and disappointed by you today.

Best Podcast Ever!
I absolutely love this podcast. I listen to it on my long drives to and from work and it gets me through. I tell all my family and coworkers about crazy stories you tell and they love it too!! Don’t ever stop making these!

Yes!!!
I love this podcast! Morgan — the host gives such great insight and opinions and I love when she has guest co hosts! The Reddit stories chosen start such great dialogue. The usual co-host is kinda shallow and doesn’t give as great introspection as Morgan does, so the episodes hearing her opinions are not very bearable for me. I loved the episode with Sarah Schauer!!

Overall great, but be pickier about co-hosts
I love this podcast a lot and I love the usual co-hosts like Lauren and Alejandra. However, I couldn’t get through the episode with Sarah Schauer. She was very annoying and over-the-top. This podcast is so interesting because the hosts discuss the complexities of the situations and why they feel how they feel. Sarah didn’t bring that at all and was super repetitive and too passionate.

Loooove this
I really like this podcast and I specially love that there’s different perspectives in every episode. I really resonate with Morgan’s perspective the most but listening to how other people view these situations is really cool. I specially love episodes with Justin since those episodes seem to be the most comfortable and deep. Overall, 5/5 stars for sure.

I get excited for the weekly upload
I listen to this podcast at work and it's hard not to giggle out loud at some of the reactions from Morgan and her cohosts to some of these stories. I know I burst out laughing more than once at one particular cohost, Sarah, who was violently passionate about some of the outrageous stories she got to react to.

Sarah is the Best
Holy please have Sarah back on the show. I was actually laughing out loud while listening at work. They’re absolutely hilarious and there’s a great dynamic/energy between you two. Hands down my favorite episode so far.

Love the Podcast...hated the recent guest host
This is my all time favorite podcast! I love listening to Morgan + hosts give their takes on so many intriguing stories BUT... this latest host, Sarah, was way too unhinged. Couldn’t finish the episode listening to her screaming. Upsetting, but the episode was made unenjoyable by her intensely over the top comments

Make Sarah a regular!!!
I look forward to this podcast every week, but i can honestly say the episode with Sarah Schauer was my absolute favourite! Her humour is unmatched, her takes were amazing, and you guys bounced off of each other so well. I love all of your other regulars, but i think Sarah needs to be added to the mix.
