    Ivy Insights

    The Muriel's Murders podcast is hands down my favorite true crime podcast ever. I stumbled upon it with my best friend and we quickly became obsessed, even subscribing to their Patreon, which we had never done before. The podcast strikes the perfect balance between interesting reporting and funny lighthearted banter. Muriel does an amazing job with her research and flow of the episode scripts, while Nick adds his own touch of humor and charm. Their chemistry is undeniable and their banter feels genuine and entertaining.

    One of the best aspects of this podcast is the storytelling. Muriel spins an enticing tale every single week, capturing your attention from start to finish. Her passion for true crime shines through in her delivery, making you feel like you're huddled together with friends for a round of gossip. The episodes are well-researched and provide plenty of context and interesting details about the lives and places where these crimes take place. Additionally, Nick's reactions add another layer of enjoyment to the podcast. His enthusiasm, questions, and hilarious remarks make him relatable to listeners.

    Another standout aspect of this podcast is their ability to stay on topic without getting off track or spending too much time on personal matters. Unlike some podcasts with multiple hosts, Muriel and Nick manage to stay focused on the story at hand without making it feel like a chore or getting sidetracked for too long. They have a knack for keeping the conversation engaging and relevant while still injecting their own unique brand of humor.

    In terms of negatives, there really isn't much to critique about The Muriel's Murders podcast. Some listeners might prefer more in-depth analysis or discussions surrounding each case covered, but that would likely detract from the light-hearted nature that makes this podcast enjoyable in the first place.

    In conclusion, I highly recommend The Muriel's Murders podcast to any true crime enthusiast looking for a combination of captivating storytelling and comedic banter. Muriel and Nick's dynamic is fantastic, their rapport is entertaining, and their episodes never fail to engage and entertain. This podcast has quickly become a favorite for many listeners, and it's easy to see why. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the good vibes and awesome tangents that Muriel and Nick provide in each episode.

This one is listener recommended and based on the book "Strange Piece of Paradise: A Return to the American West to Investigate My Attempted Murder - And Solve the Mystery of Myself" by Terri Jentz herself. Because the book was so good, because it came from a beloved old-school friend, and because Muriel relates so much to the young women at the center of this story, this multi-part story feels particularly powerful.

    Pure intrigue! Tension! Behind the scenes of Hitchcock's masterpiece film "The Birds!" Sadistic "pranks!" Terrible senses of "humor!" And the best part... (for Nick)...? No murder! Is this actually a true crime story? Kinda sorta, but it's true Muriel's Murders, that's for sure. Listening on Spotify? Leave a comment below, we'll write back and shout you out! Want more episodes?

    55. Stringbean & Estelle Akeman

    Stingbean Akeman is an absolute bango-playing, Hee Haw comedy legend. He was a beloved innovator at the Grand Ole Opry, beast on the baseball field and loved stashing cash. He married Estelle who cruised around in brand new Cadillacs, never bothered living with indoor plumbing and also loved stashing cash. These two love birds were brutally, tragically taken from this Earthly existence by a tiny crew of dumbass haters who suffered tragedies of their own. Muriel does it like she always does and hips Nick to the history and world that makes this story one of kind. RIP Stringbean. RIP Estelle. Requested by Alec!

    ...and her remarkable survival! This is only the second episode that made Nick tear up a lil bit. This young woman was so brave and her story is uplifting even though she was buried alive. Of course, the kidnappers are ludicrous villains and the Mackles are pretty incredible. Muriel wrote the hell out of this one so plug in and float away.

    Harvard in the 1800s was jammed full of dead bodies. But all the professors there were "doctors" and "gentlemen" and there's no way any of them would murder someone and try to hide the evidence amongst all the "science." This is old timey mania in its full glory, so hold onto your butts in accordance with the scriptures. Part 1 of 2. Requested by Bill! Thanks man!

    Maurice and Maralyn Bailey were great adventurers and excellent sailors. Could that save them from a big ass whale that wanted to sink their yacht? Did they survive 117 or 118 days out at sea on a little ass raft? Did Muriel choose this episode specifically because Nick is deeply terrified of whales? Damn, these are some good questions and you'll just have to tune in to find the answers. RIP all the turtles, boobies, trigger fish, and sharks. Music is by Mario Casalini - follow him on IG (and Facebook maybe? idk) for updates and tons of exciting releases he has coming up with Tech N9ne and Strange Music. Muriel did all the research, writing, hosting. Nick did all the recording, editing, co-hosting. www.murielsmurders.com has all the info. Find us on social media. XOXO
