    Proud Sicko
    This is one of my favorite podcasts. It’s witty, weird, and Elise and Jessica talk about cool, wonderfully morbid stuff. I’m a proud Sicko! 💀🖤
  • Dreary Mae S.
    Fun and informative podcast
    I have been listening to this show for years and it has become one of my absolute favorites. The hosts have great chemistry and keep the audience engaged. I enjoy the variety of topics and love that it’s being delivered in an entertaining and informative way. So glad y’all are back and I look forward to each new episode!
  • !QueenVee!
    I love what you do!
    I love what you girls are doing, and I hope you keep doing this for yourselves, and for everybody else who loves it!
  • JeeNoNames
    Morbid Magnificence.
    I really love this podcast. The hosts are great! Funny but they don’t venture too far off topic. They are very informative and have taught me a bunch of little factoids I didn’t know! And there’s such a wide selection of episodes that all have an interesting topic. I can zip through a few episodes a night while at work and they keep me completely entertained. Thank you ladies for doing this, I’ll listen as long as you’re around, love you ghouls! 💕
  • Zaxion_Kai
    Always love these episodes
    If you have a morbid curiosity, this is the show for you. My one and only critique for recent episodes are that they are mixed to quiet.
  • castformunderwater
    YAY
    So glad that this show came back!!!
  • cama898989

    Audio issues
    Love the show but there’s been horrible audio issues - ads are so loud and then when it gets to the actual show it’s so low. 😢 it’s making it hard to listen to.

    Don’t let the show die please
  • Coralou420
    Oh no!!! 💔💔
    I’m listening to the last episode 😰😭 that makes me so sad!! No matter what happens y’all should broadcast on your own (idk if that’s a doable thing) I’m just going to miss y’all so much!! These have been great! I hope something good happens and we can keep going! 💚💚
  • Allisonal

    To Sapphire Re: “Ghost Ranch” in Montana - Gunslinger Gulch
    I grew up in Southwest Montana, and have experienced similar (but a little more sinister) activity. I still live close, and continue to experience strange happenings. I can definitively say that those were not ghosts. There are several types of entities roaming around the Lolo National Forest
  • Blcookies
    Great show, but one thing…
    I love this show, the topics, the hosts personalities! I do have one thing that bothers me a bit, the number of words pronounced incorrectly. For a couple of smart ladies, this is my only pet peeve with this podcast. That being said, I listen to podcasts 8 hours a day at work and this is one of my favorites!
  • HLMMom0515
    More than “Morbid”…
    You guys touch on more adjectives than just “morbid”. Someday (maybe not quite yet because it’s too soon for most) most of us (frontline healthcare) aren’t anywhere near ready to “unpack” our COVID experience, y’all should record an episode with Nurses, Respiratory Therapists, Doctors, Nurse Practitioners, etc etc. Things like the burnout rate, the “God Moments”, the things that we seen that sent chills down our spines, the grief, the careers we dedicated our lives to that some couldn’t take anymore and walked away from during or afterwards, the Mandatory Overtime and exhaustion of every kind, the shifts full of loss and anxiety, being “heroes” for an insanely short amount of time, the war about vaccinating (or not), going home to our families and being terrified to “take it home” and make our families sick. Gosh, I could go on. There is so much to be said about all of it.
  • Pork23
    Emt guy
    Please bring emt sean back on it was such a breath of fresh air to the podcast
  • returnofthelivingdead
    One of the best podcasts around
    Elyse and Jessica have such great friend and morbid chemistry.
  • Fala p
    Good idea for a podcast
    I am engrossed with the interesting (disturbing) stories these women tell in such a classy way. Would recommend
  • TheLurking1
    Enjoying
    Disturbingly wonderful
  • Xiovili
    I don’t know who’s more messed up
    Macabre, gross, funny, informative—this podcast is just as good at educating me about what nightmare fueled shenanigans go on that I never considered or maybe wanted to know, as it is at entertaining me. I don’t know if Elyse and Jessica are more messed up for making this, or I am for listening to it. My coworkers definitely think I’m losing my absolute marbles after screaming ‘OH GOD, THEY MADE PANTS OUT OF HIM’ in the middle of work during the Skin episode. 10/10, would goat scream again.
  • JRYYY
    A fun and interesting podcast
    Love this podcast! Elyse and Jessica bring their passion for morbid things and add their touch of comedy and knowledge to make this show extra special. Also two of the nicest people you’ll get the pleasure to meet.
  • migsch1980
    Solid Show
    Really enjoying the episodes. Keeps getting better every week. A must listen.
  • kiwiiiiiiiiiiï
    So far so good, except shipping costs
    I wanted to buy some items from the merch shop but they want almost $10 to ship a $5 sticker… what!!? So I added another sticker and a shirt, shipping went up to $20!! Insane. I reached out to customer service to see if there’s any coupon codes for first time buyers, and he was just like “nope. Free shipping for orders over $100 though.” I’m not going to pay $10 to ship a sticker, let alone spend $100 on merch.
  • girlboy💫
    Oh. My. GOD.
    This is HILARIOUS, I am hooked, best podcast ever. You two are hilarious and have such interesting episodes.
  • Jerics1980
    Absolutely love the podcast! Great job!
    Just recently stumbled on your podcast and absolutely love it! Y’all do a great job presenting the content in a respectful manner. Keep up the great work and looking forward to future episodes!
  • muffincake2
    So FRICKING GOOD
    Amazing! They are both hilarious and witty. Jessica and Elyse talk about interesting and dark topics but not to terrifying to scare the sh!r outta me. As a sensitive kid, I don’t like horror but my Mobil curiosity get the best of me. Great if you like scary things but like some of creepy things! 10/10 ! Recommend to all my friends! I hope this helps😊
  • Thornwolf Art
    Hit or Miss, Fast and Loose with Facts
    It’s objectively entertaining but the holes in the research and egregious misspeaking gets grating. Example is the Marie Antoinette ep, they said French/Australian alliance instead of French/Austrian. Things like that just build and show a certain lack of pride in the work.
  • Willowstar13
    Hi
    I just listened to the episode about Savannah it is really interesting I just moved like 20 minutes away from there and I get to go to one of the haunted hotel I’m so excited I love what y’all do!❤️
  • Miniyini123
    Sensational rather than factual
    The hosts are lovely and entertaining, but sometimes the topics are incredibly poorly researched. There’s at least several episodes containing information that’s very misrepresented or has been thoroughly debunked elsewhere. I may come back occasionally if I need something playing in the background, but for now I will be unsubscribing.

    I would like to see an offshoot show called “60 morbid minutes” I just want to keep listening!!
  • Rabble Rousing RZA
    Great job, and refreshing change of pace
    I love the way the topics are presented without trying to scare you, or take themselves too seriously. Perfect mix of humor and creepiness! Keep it up guys!
  • Ry'ale
    Sucked
    All they do is give opinions and tell people it’s facts it extremely misleading
  • SophiaP11193
    I listen to it all the time
    I take acting classes on sundays and so this is what we listen to in the car. Or really whenever we’re driving around 30 minutes to an hour away. We all love this, all being my family. Thank you and keep it up
  • Alicemaker
    Morbidly fantastic!
    Currently binging this podcast. Excellent content!
  • Landfish561
    It’s a good time
    Love y’all and the podcast
  • Jim727
    Horrible
    Episode on cruises, makes judgements with admittedly no experience. Do more research.
  • quillen80
    Love it!
    This is my new favorite podcast! Love you ladies.
  • Lizzardoish
    It’s good!
    I work alone all day, every day so podcasts are life! This is a good one! Not a fan of EVERYTHING they talk about but I like the chemistry of the hosts, enough humor and light hearted chat to make even the more boring topics interesting. I’d hang with these ladies!

    I literally love this podcast sm, and i did draw fan art of jessica jr.
  • Ciridae 91
    Disappointed
    Found this when Elyse was a guest on Dungeons and Daddies and it sounded like a great new pod for me, however: - The script makes this very canned and hard to listen to - Jokes are cringe - Constantly apologizing for morbidity to the point of straying away from it on a pod with morbid in the name BIGGEST ISSUE, for me personally: the shallowness of the content, I get they are quick episodes but they touch on very interesting stuff for about 3 seconds each, each episode skates over what could be 5 separate episodes if they bothered to do some research. I know a lot of these fun morbid facts already, I came for the full story, the flesh out, and just got… more fun facts I already knew.
  • Megan D 45
    Fantastic Podcasts
    Amazing and unique podcast that I really enjoy.
  • cawern
    Absolutely...
    Great content but after starting the second episode, I cringed with the extreme overuse of "absolutely" from one of the ladies. How about "yes", "I agree", "good point", or the many other synonyms to absolutely? 🙄
  • Plugged_Horse
    Started to listen
    Was going fine until bashing religious people. Just stick with the show. Not jokes about God. I’ll pass.
  • JRS91124915
    Who knew
    I stumbled upon your podcast and it is really enjoyable. Usually a 30 min podcast barely skims the surface but I really feel like in a short amount of time you get lots of info on the topic. You gals are great and love the content.
