Wicked Gay is a (sort of) light-hearted true-crime podcast about gay people doing awful things.
love, great.
Listeners of WICKED GAY that love the show mention: dlisted, harvey, thank,The WICKED GAY podcast is a delightful addition to the world of true crime podcasts, offering a unique twist with its witty and charismatic host, J Harvey. As someone who has followed J Harvey's writing for years, I was thrilled to discover his podcast and instantly became hooked. His seductive voice draws you in from the very beginning, and his ability to combine pop culture references with chilling true crime stories is truly impressive. Season Three cannot come soon enough!
One of the best aspects of The WICKED GAY podcast is J Harvey's impeccable storytelling skills. His writing shines through in every episode, engaging listeners with compelling narratives that keep you on the edge of your seat. Whether it's unraveling the mysteries behind infamous criminals or diving into lesser-known cases, Harvey's delivery captivates the audience and leaves them wanting more. His sarcastic humor acts as a welcomed foil to the grim actions he recounts, making each episode both entertaining and informative.
Another standout aspect of this podcast is its ability to merge pop culture with true crime seamlessly. J Harvey effortlessly weaves in references to movies, music, and other facets of popular culture while discussing criminal behavior. This unique approach adds depth and relatability to the stories being told, making them even more fascinating for fans who enjoy both true crime and entertainment.
While The WICKED GAY podcast has numerous strengths, there are a few areas that could be improved upon. One such drawback is the occasional lack of consistency in episode release dates. As an avid listener eagerly waiting for each new installment, it can be disappointing when episodes are not released on a regular schedule. However, this minor flaw does not detract from the overall quality of the content itself.
In conclusion, The WICKED GAY podcast is an absolute gem for fans of true crime and pop culture alike. J Harvey's captivating storytelling combined with his wit and sarcasm make for an incredibly enjoyable listening experience. Although there may be slight inconsistencies in release dates, the quality of the content more than makes up for it. I eagerly await Season Three and look forward to delving into more wicked deeds with J Harvey as my guide.

Ernst Röhm was one of Adolph Hitler's besties and had a hand in the creation of the Third Reich. He was also gay.
