A Review: My Favorite Murder Podcast
feralaudio.com

My Favorite Murder is a true crime comedy podcast where two hosts tell the stories of murders that got both national and local attention.

The hosts are comedians Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark. Hardstark was a food blogger, then gained fame for co-starring on other podcasts. Kilgariff was a writer for the Ellen DeGeneres Show, and head writer for a show featured on the Oprah Winfrey Network.

Kilgariff and Hardstark said that the reason they started this podcast was because of their infatuation of the stories behind how a murder happened. They said in early episodes that their interest probably comes from their mutual fear of dying or being killed.

The My Favorite Murder series is up to 66 episodes and 25 minisodes. A regular episode run time is around an hour to an hour and a half.

The style of the show is more free form, in that the show isn’t strict and to the point. Both hosts tell the story of their favorite murders and then read a fan submitted story of a murder that was in close proximity to them. The show is quirky because they are technically a comedian podcast. Alongside all the murder talk, the laid-back tempo of the hosts created a casual atmosphere. This, in turn, makes the podcast easy to listen to.

My Favorite Murder isn’t the most informational true crime podcast, but it is definitely the most entertaining. It currently sits at number 3 in the comedy podcast section of iTunes. After listening to 10 episodes of My Favorite Murder, I compared it to 10 episodes of another true crime comedy podcast Last Podcast On The Left.

Last Podcast On The Left is more well researched, as it has four hosts and sticks to one topic over the hour and thirty minutes most episodes ran. They also expanded their topics into the occult. One of the episodes I listened to was about Aileen Wuornos, and a few episodes later the subject was the Puerto Rican Chupacabra.

My Favorite Murder falls more in line with ‘I like to hear about the story but also not have it be broken down piece by piece.’ That makes this podcast more entertaining to me.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
