    If it ain't broke...
    Hard to listen without Gretchen. There's nothing unique, fun or even really great about this show now. Unfollowing. Best wishes!
  • Mich175
    Hooked on Housewives!
    I absolutely love listening to Tabitha on Housewives of True Crime! She has the perfect mix of humor, heart, and true crime obsession. She has me hooked with the Karen Read trial with her insight and attention to the critical details in this case. Tabitha’s storytelling is very natural- it feels like you’re sitting around with your best friend, having a glass of wine and diving straight into the wildest murder cases. She is well researched and smart. If you love true crime and like your stories with a bit of sass and reality - Tabitha is your girl!
  • cakemetotheballgame
    I’m hooked!
    I stumbled on this podcast and am so glad I did. True crime in the car line-Yes!
  • Teamcutie54
    Obsessed
    It’s so interesting how all these reviews are so new and negative towards Tab, Gretchen was no shining star in this duo. Tab is classy and took the high road with them no longer being a team, Gretchen honestly is just a jealous ugly ducking inside and out! #teamcutietab all the way! Also love the way Tab breaks down the crime so well!
  • Courtney 324
    Love love love
    Just started this podcast and am really loving it! Tab has a great way of making true crime accessible and breaking down the stories. Love her lighthearted chit chat about her family and life!
  • Yel314
    So good
    I’ve totally gotten sucked in and love listening to this podcast! One of my faves
  • XXTI23
    Come on……
    First and last time listener of this podcast. The episode about the brutal murders of Channon Christian and Chris Newsom got my attention so I decided to listen. This crime happened in my home town so I am very familiar with the details. I recommend doing a little research before recording an episode. Too many inaccuracies!! How hard can that be!?
  • conniestages
    Updated review
    It’s been many years since I left my first review- I understand change and really think Tab is putting her heart into her work. I too have had people leave my life and know how hard it is. I am here for the long haul and hope all your listeners will understand and support you through and through. You have been there for me to listen to when I am up and when I am down and I thank you! Clink Clink ❣️❣️🍾 Found this podcast and it’s great. Funny beginning with a great story. Kept my attention. Can’t wait for more!
  • saritaamore
    Used to be great, now totally lost its spark
    True crime podcasts are a dime a dozen. You can find the same story told by ten different shows. What made Housewives of True Crime special was the chemistry between the co-hosts, built on a real long-term friendship. The sarcasm, the honesty, the back and forth, you cannot fake that kind of connection or recreate it with a random co-host. My favorite part was always the first ten minutes of chitchat. It made the show feel personal, like you were hanging out with friends. You could also tell that Gretchen was passionate about writing and researching the stories. Now it has completely changed. The new co-host is flat, the stories are surface level and sometimes inaccurate, and all the fun banter is gone. It has lost everything that made it different. If you are new to the show, definitely start from the beginning. The early episodes are great. But I would recommend stopping around April 2025. After that, it is just not the same and honestly not worth sticking with

    Doesn’t feel the same without Gretchen. Unsubbed. Money shouldn’t go before friendship. Used to be my favorite show.
  • TC Allie
    The Clink, clink is over
    I miss Gretchen. It isn’t the same and it feels like she was screwed over. I have to unfollow. 😞This was one of my two favorite podcasts. If you get Gretchen back, please announce it and I will be back. Previous review: Love how they own who they are—Botox and dropping off kids in their PJs! Clink, clink, Gretchy and Tab!

    It was, hands down, my favorite podcast. What made it so special was the hosts' long-time friendship. Now, it's just a business for one of the hosts. So Sad.
  • TarissaRae
    Not the same
    I used to love the show. I miss Gretchen and loved the banter that used to be at the beginning, it felt like I was catching up with friends! I’m not a fan of Tabitha’s approach to the cases. It doesn’t seem like she does anything more than surface level research and just states things basically from the title of news articles. and sometimes she comes across as cold. I wish her the best but really bummed that this show has completely changed from the great show it was!
  • BBSalvatore
    Bummer
    This has been my favorite podcast since the beginning. Unfortunately with the shake up it’s just not the same. I left Patreon first(the gab sessions were my fav) but now I think it’s time to unfollow all together. I wish you all the best Tab but the podcast has lost it’s sparkle.
  • KateGaleana
    Not the same
    Gretchen brought a side and view that is now seriously lacking. It’s not the same without her. Tab missed so much on her 1st Karen Reid, it’s obvious she’s not writing her own scripts. What a joke. Unfollowing now :(
  • Hrhoffmann
    Clink Clink no more
    Super disappointed with what I’m learning about how you treated Gretchen. Will no longer listen.
  • hollyholy77
    Good luck, Tabitha
    You definitely need a co-host. I don’t want to be mean, just miss the humor Gretchen brought to the table.
  • MommaJ624
    Missing Gretchen
    Used to be my morning jam, but without Gretchen it’s not what it used to be. So bummed, the vibe is just different and not my jam now. :(
  • Jaicee711
    I want to continue being supportive
    I really miss Gretchen! I always loved Tabitha’s story telling, but it’s just not the same without the funny banter! Can we get Gretch back please?!
  • Jimmy Neutronic
    Change
    The host change ain’t working. Time to unfollow.
  • Vanbindi
    Updated review
    Tabitha, you are a huge reason I listen to the show and will continue to do so! I admire your honesty and courage in continuing on when your former cohost did not for whatever reason. Forget the negativity, there’s no room for it now. You are inspiring to a lot of us, and handling this with grace. I wish her the best, but honestly I’m just so happy you are still doing what you do so well.

    I wish Tab the best, but it’s just not the same.
  • ronniecaliente
    Clink Clink!
    ***Update: it’s 2025, and while I understand change is inevitable, I’m super bummed about Gretchen leaving the pod. Their dynamic and friendship was a huge part of why I was such a fan. But I also understand friendships change and sometimes end. I wish Tabitha all the best with her new projects, but the pod no longer has the vibe I loved. Best wishes to Gretchen! *** I finished bingeing another true crime podcast (that my friend introduced me to) about 2 months ago, and needed more true crime. I pulled a Goldilocks, and tried a bunch of different podcasts. Some were too dour and serious, some were too sanctimonious, and some were just plain awful. Then I listened to the Housewives. At first I wasn’t certain they were for me, but by the second episode, I knew I found my next binge. In turn, I introduced my friend to Tab and Gretchy, and now she’s hooked!

    What happened to the show?
    Please let us loyal listers know what happened to Gretchen. Weird to have a huge change and not make an announcement.
  • docmomkir
    Missing Gretchen
    This show does not work without Gretchen. Please mend fences!!! I loved you two together!!! My favorite podcast I looked forward to every week. So sad.
  • Soccer_mom_1015
    Gretchen needs to come back
    Please come back Gretchen. The show doesn’t work without you.
  • KelleyBakes
    Housewives Unite!
    Tab and Gretchy are my jam and better than any pb&j sandwich 😉 Thank you for bringing laughter, comedic commentary, and my exact thoughts to life. This housewife/mom life can get monotonous and I am grateful for their ability to not take themselves so seriously. It makes doing loads of laundry and cooking a lot more fun!
  • PopTotsandRoll
    Love!
    Found this podcast after Gretchen left. Enjoying the old content but also love the new direction too! Keep it up Tabitha.
  • Dooliscious
    Love me some Tabitha!
    Good luck trying to convince Republican senators in Texas to do anything about healthy food in public schools when they are totally behind dismantling the entire school system and getting rid of free lunches and even head start food programs for preschool etc. Y’all have a great idea but it will never happen in this day and age…… from a lifelong 72 year old Texan.
  • BForbes17
    Make housewives of true crime great again!!!
    The podcast is already lacking without Gretchen. Change is great but not when you already had a good thing going. No way can she be replaced by randoms.

  • Buggz!
    I love this podcast <3
    You gals are just the best! It really does feel like talking with your girlfriends, you have a beautiful friendship which I think makes the podcast extra special and enjoyable to listen to. You never disappoint with the true crime stories and tell it so well with a little chit chat or side banter through out which I love. It doesn’t give me the “scaries” while listening to especially when I'm out on a evening walk like other true crime podcasts can sometimes do haha! Your both so gorge and amazing! Lala love you both!
  • EricaDWill
    Love it! Does your hair product work on black people?

    Besties - Love you Ladies!
    Housewives of True Crime is hands-down my favorite podcast of all time. I’ve been a loyal listener for over a year, and every episode feels like catching up with my best friends. The hosts are witty, relatable, and effortlessly engaging, making it so easy to connect with their stories and personalities. Being close in age to them, I find their perspectives refreshing and incredibly relatable. They have a unique way of weaving humor and authenticity into their storytelling, which makes even the darkest true crime cases feel accessible. Their banter and chemistry are unmatched, and I can’t help but laugh out loud at their side commentary or feel like I’m right there in the conversation. If you’re looking for a podcast that combines true crime, real-life humor, and the feeling of chatting with your girlfriends over coffee (or wine), this is it. Housewives of True Crime never disappoints, and I can’t recommend it enough!
  • Marbear 22
    Soooo good! But……
    I love you ladies! Love the banter! But the mouth noises into the mic are too much. I’m in the really early episodes so I’m hoping they disappear soon
  • Fanny 869
    Midwest teacher
    Particularly great story today thanks ladies
  • bluecrane1981
    Great for straight folks
    I enjoy this podcast when I have run out of current podcasts. Super hetero-norm which is unfortunate. The beginning ‘7mins of chat’ can sometimes spill to 15 mins and I find myself skipping forward a lot.
  • staceyfh
    Clink clink!
    I think they are both hilarious and really great storytellers. The balance between the humor and the depiction of the crimes/victims is very well done. Gretchen’s sarcastic sense of humor is epic and makes me lol every time.

    Review
    Kinda love these two! One of my favorite podcasts along with True Crime Obsessed. Hearing lots of unknown stories from them & I love it. And I do LIKE the first few minutes of the podcast to hear about their looney tunes lives. Keep up the great work!
  • bhadaway
    You ladies are amazing but we want more John!
    Ladies, thank you for all you do! Seriously an amazing podcast. Long time listener and Patron. John’s FBI episode was great and I think I speak for most of your listeners when I say, please keep him on the schedule for quarterly interviews!
