RATING
Podcast is pretty good, but the hosts have a habit of gossiping about things they don't have a clue about; speaking with the same authority as the cases which they've researched - kinda annoying
I was wavering on my enjoyment on this one as the hosts would swerve into hearsay, gossip and chatting about a case with unwarranted authority. The last straw was the Bobbit podcast. Giggling about genital mutilation, really. Using the excuse that 'this is what people at the time were saying" is pathetic.
Love love love these ladies!! They tell their stories wonderfully! I thoroughly enjoy their well researched stories. Even the most gruesome stories are told with the victim and listener in mind. I’m looking forward to the day when the ladies bring their live show to the US so that I may see them in person!
I used to love this podcast. But a well-known and respected UK true crime professional, who has literally changed the laws to protect victims, was excluded from their book and audiobook at the very last minute because the podcasters bowed to their fans' beliefs that she was a TERF. Reason? This professional expressed concern about how law enforcers and prison officials needed to make policy and learn about transgender individuals so that they would not be manipulated by sociopathic offenders playing with the system, trying to be moved around the prison system to waste time and money. It's a legitimate concern: we need to prepare our legal system in order to care properly and compassionately for the LGBTQ population, and to be aware that manipulative offenders will use any opportunity to buck the system, and professionals need to be prepared with protocols to respond. The podcasters broke their book contract in response to their fans' ignorant outcry to this and excluded this tenured and wise true crime professional. I will never quite feel the same about this podcast.
The hosts are sharp, wildly funny and both are phenomenal storytellers. This podcast deserves 10 stars.
Love them! They are so funny and their accents are the best
Sad with how this podcast turned out, after being a long time listener. Cases are good and often unexplored by other creators, but there nothing relaxing about how every NEW episode berates men, over and over and over. This is primarily an issue of the medium, not the message. It's just not suitable to interrupt the introduction to a story, to talk about a broader issue. All momentum lost. You take the listener out of the suspense, to listen to your opinions and it is very odd. With this being said, early episodes are great. I think it might be the case that Hannah just isn't a very nice person, is very hurt deep down. Siru is very pleasant to listen to.
Such a good podcast!!! The only downside is eventually making it through the back catalogue and having to wait for weekly releases again.
Both of the hosts have adopted a highly irritating vocal fry, with an additional tendency to end many sentences with question-like upticks. I had to switch off their latest episode as a result. Sorry ladies, but these speaking styles make you sound like wannabe Kardashians, and less intelligent than you probably are.
This was my intro into podcasts. I will forever love them. Have caught up on all episodes and one of these days I will need to join their Patreon so I can have more content.
Love these Ladies - see them live if you get the chance!
First of all, I would leave zero stars if I could. My introduction to this podcast was listening to the Karen Read episodes with a friend on a road trip. If the episodes are any indication of the quality of the rest of the show, they should straight up rename this podcast “Copaganda.” They were so ridiculously biased, got multiple facts wrong, skate past the misdoings of the Canton P.D. (ex: downplaying the use of red solo cups to collect evidence??), and left things out when they were inconvenient to the narrative they were building for the cops and against Read. They do not understand the nuances of American policing or our court system at all. They harp incredibly hard on the defenses’ theory without ever once acknowledging that the defense doesn’t have to prove their theory, just disprove the prosecution’s (which apparently the jury thought they did.) They should be ashamed of their coverage, but by these two’s condescending attitudes during these episodes, I can tell they don’t have the self-reflection to be capable of that. If nothing else, at least Karen Read has been acquitted now and there’s not a single thing these two can do about it lol. Literally watch any other true crime podcast; this is a skip for sure if you enjoy shows that are truthful and unbiased.
Terrible. I thought mind's of madness was the worst crime podcast I've encountered but this is much worse. I tried to persevere but could only take 5 minutes. The women sound incredibly caddy and will stop telling the store and start going on a tangent of their own opinions or gossip. The voices are also extremely hard to listen over exaggerated and too loud compared to the recordings they play. You'll have to tu your phone right up to here a recording and then quickly turn it down before they start talking again. If you're a true crime fan don't even bother it will make your ears and brain hurt.
I work by myself outside in an orchard 40 hours a week. I started in December and I am up to recent posts. I am grateful for you ladies. You've made me laugh, raise my eyebrows and even roll my eyes, but most of all you've kept me coming back for mor3. Your podcast has stimulated my inquisitive mind and now I use it 80% more than I did before. As soon as I can afford it I will patreon you but in the meantime, keep it up. Tonight for example I am watching documentaries on Vladimir Putin... thats thanks to you girls. KEEP IT UP LOVE FROM NEW ZEALAND 🇳🇿
I love your podcasts they are so cool and interesting to listen to
This is my number 1 true 'crime of the week' podcast! Suruthi and Hannah are excellent and you know that when they start into the story, their narrating voice takes over and they're real pros. There isn't much banter at the beginning, or throughout, so if you catch one with a lot of banter it's probably an odd one out. I appreciate that; they explore the story instead! (though I love to hear them talk, so I subscribe to their Patreon to listen to off-topic banter).
I used to love this podcast until I realized how inaccurate it is. RedHanded recently covered a case that I am very familiar with. During the coverage, the hosts told their audience several things that were not true in the case they were covering. Things as simple as the age of the perpetrator were not fact checked even though his true age can be easily be found. After listening to this episode, I was left wondering how many other inaccuracies these two women were providing their audience.
The Very best of true crime podcasts. ❤️❤️?
I absolutely LOVE Hannah and Suruthi! RedHanded is a truly amazing podcast, thoroughly researched, invigorating cases, darkly humorous and delivered with a compassion for victims, and their families that touches the heart. If you haven’t already, follow Redhanded every week!  -Now, “Get in the Bin!”
Love love love this podcast! I discovered Redhanded with the Otto Warmbier case and i loved the hosts analysis and the fact that they never go into the sensationalism road.
