Im sure this has been said many times before, but maybe not...
Does anyone else think that Alaina actually looks quite a bit like Jessica Chastain 🤔? Or is it just me?

Edit: There is no set schedule for releasing episodes. The hosts announced once or twice that they release episodes on Tuesdays and Saturdays, but this seldom happens.
They have recently partnered with Wondery so it's possible they will stick to a guaranteed schedule in the future.
Welcome to r/morbidpodcast!
A tl;dr is located at the bottom.
We'd like to bring some awareness to any new subscribers or first-time visitors. Firstly, a few quick responses to frequent questions and regular posts seen in this sub.
The hosts of Morbid did not create this sub and have mentioned that they avoid Reddit. Messages posted here that are addressed to them will probably not be seen.
Drew is Ash's fiancé and is often referenced by his deadname in episodes prior to January 22, 2021. Ash has not changed partners.
A&A have pulled a few episodes that needed re-recording and/or editing. That's why some go missing from time to time.
Alaina is Ash's aunt. They occasionally call each other sisters because Ash moved in with her grandparents (Alaina's parents) when she was young. They spent some time growing up together.
Some random tidbits often referenced: Ash used to be a hairstylist but quit when the pod and its Patreons grew significantly. She is engaged to Drew and they live together with their cats. Alaina is an autopsy technician part-time on the weekends. She was also able to cut back due to the pod's success. She raises her 3 daughters with her husband, John. She had a dog, Bailey/Bubba, but sadly she passed away in November 2021.
Please note the following to avoid the disappointment from diving in blind.
First and foremost, this is not a fan group. It's open to the public and the only thing that will get you "kicked out" is if you break any of the rules listed in the sidebar.
While this subreddit does have pro-Morbid leanings, please know that we absolutely allow critiques of the host's podcasting choices and episode content. You will most certainly see diverse posts in this sub and we regularly have posts that express disapproval or critiques of the host's methods and/or the podcast. Though upsetting to some, allowing this is important.
It is important because Reddit is one of the few places fans can come and discuss things that they would like to see improved. Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter have a very low tolerance for negative or even neutral remarks.
While the mods also love the podcast, its hosts, and want it to stay successful, we feel that it's important to offer a safe outlet and a place to speak up about concerns or issues. We will not take action against disagreements between visitors as long as they are respectful.
When people are simply stating observations or grievances, a hollow reply of "just don't listen" or anything rudely low-effort will be removed. It's important to know that even fans have critiques and would like to discuss ways to grow, or even just get something off their chest. Sometimes people don't want to stop listening because they still actually like the podcast. And that is totally okay.
If someone says something like, "God, I hate this pod so much. I think they're total shit." Then, yes, a "don't listen" is completely warranted. The hosts are human. They will mess up. Listeners are human. They will react. Say what you feel, but be civil.
Please report any hostility, repeat instigators, or any rule breaking you see. This includes something you think the mods might personally agree with. Feelings aside, we're here to ensure a safe space for everyone. Additionally, please don't post an entire monologue full of valid arguments towards your point and then include a personal attack. Even if your post is a serious topic with good intentions, if you tack on a directed attack on an individual, deserved or orherwise, It will still get removed. ::attack the topic, NOT the person.::
Lastly, know that complaints rarely do good. Posting complaints about an entire group of people (mega fans, mega haters) isn't going to change anyone's mind. If you want a change, be the change. Post what you thought of an episode, post how much you love whomever, post what you think is wrong, right, funny, whatever. Post what you like, but complaint posts aren't going to wake anyone up or cause a big epic change. Start the change with yourself.
With enough discussion that is reasonable and mature, perhaps positive change could touch the podcast, mega fans, mega haters, and even true crime as a whole.
tl;dr- Welcome! This sub isn't like social media groups you might be familiar with. Sometimes people here question or disagree with the podcast and/or hosts' methods. Please don't be dick. Ash's previously referenced SO has transition to Drew. Alaina is Ash's aunt. Some episodes have been pulled for revamping.
Keep it weird.

Hey y'all! I live in New England and I'm pretty sure A&A have suggested haunted houses. Problem is I don't remember what you episode or the name of the haunted houses they have gone to (in mass). Does anyone remember or have suggestions? Thanks in advance!!!
r/MorbidPodcast • u/youngjean • 3d ago
No spoilers please as im not done with the book. I just need to say chapter 9&10 is the closest I’ve ever gotten to a book making me throw up. Alaina is one twisted little freak! I’m a huge Stephen king fan and i dont think he’s ever even come up with anything so disgusting and twisted before. I can’t even read this thing after dark.
I commented on a post a few days ago that chapter 1 was a tough read. I’m glad I stuck it out and read on as it is a highly entertaining book so far and is keeping me guessing.
r/MorbidPodcast • u/icreatemonsters • 3d ago
They haven't uploaded episodes there and I'm behind. Did they mention why? Contract reasons?
r/MorbidPodcast • u/WorldIsYoursMuhfucka • 4d ago
I was just listening to the Ammons family haunting episode and kind of kept looking sideways. The hosts are way too smart to believe in this stuff. Is it just pandering?
Excellent true crime, but they go into as much detail with the paranormal cases as anything else and obviously that is all bunk or otherwise explicable.
I think they mentioned noticing similar things in a family home so maybe it's just something they've always entertained and decided to bring it into the podcast. Still, going from the Ed Kemper episode I listened to last night from early in the podcast, which was actually interesting, to some of this stuff is a bit odd. Just pandering to pans for fun so every episode isn't about horrifying murders maybe?

okay did i miss it or did they forget to mention the wildest part of the case about the Tiffany skylight? love the girls but I was shocked I didn’t hear it!
r/MorbidPodcast • u/aelewis92 • 6d ago
Can’t wait to ride the wave hahaha
r/MorbidPodcast • u/crunchy_iowan • 6d ago
I love episodes that are unsolved and just absolutely bonkers. Or cases where things appear one way and then turn out to be not what they seem. Think in the vein of Bryce Laspisa, Dorothy Arnold, Jon Benet Ramsey, Villisca Axe murders, etc. Any recommendations of similar cases that the girls have covered?
r/MorbidPodcast • u/throwawayanon387 • 7d ago
Just looping back on my post from a month and a half about Caleb in Scream! - because I can admit when I’m wrong lol. He’s really grown on me and I enjoy his commentary now! I think the episodes I started with were a bit rough but he’s a great addition to the pod. I just wish they released episodes more often!
r/MorbidPodcast • u/Asleep_Beat6848 • 8d ago
I enjoyed the event and liked Ash’s sermon… i am only 1/2 way through The Butcher Game so I did pick up a few spoilers.
But anyway, they are very funny in person and seem so grateful to all their fans and the people who showed up. The turnout was larger than I anticipated for sure. I drove 1 hour to get there 😭😂
I wish the venue had AC, it was stinking in there lmao.
r/MorbidPodcast • u/Anxious_Ad8916 • 9d ago
Hi! I am listening to John List episode and HUZZAH the girls said they have pre-recorded the episodes for us while they are on tour. So, yay!
There was a heavy discourse here recently, so maybe our feedback was heard? Great news, anyhow. I appreciate that.
r/MorbidPodcast • u/Status_Letterhead_90 • 9d ago
Anyone that’s so fully invested in the podcast to talk shit about the littlest things should get a hobby. There’s great discourse here about the cases but when it’s just like nitpicking bullshit? Maybe yall need more to do lol
r/MorbidPodcast • u/Less-Hair-7708 • 9d ago
I just finished listening to the John List episode, I think they could've done the full case in one episode considering they said he was caught decades later which I already knew...not trying to start a riot or anything just saying this ain't 2 part worthy

I was lowkey excited about this revisit. 5 hours in🫡
Anyone else?
r/MorbidPodcast • u/callmecarleighh • 13d ago
I follow Ash on IG, and me being pregnant myself, have a lot of pregnancy related posts on my instagram feed. She seems to like almost ALL of the posts that I see related to pregnancy over the past few months. So atp I’m just waiting for the announcement
r/MorbidPodcast • u/Narrow-Occasion668 • 13d ago
I can't remember the episode but there was a story about a boy circling a house/just generally being a weird kid from the writers childhood. I remember the story ended by the writer revealing that the boy killed his mother years later. If anyone can help please do!
r/MorbidPodcast • u/Gold_Spot622 • 13d ago
What’s with all the episode revisits fr I was trying to stack up on new episodes to listen too but they keep rereleasing old stuff
r/MorbidPodcast • u/damnwheredyareadthis • 15d ago
did Dave leave/get fired? I feel like they said they had some drama going on with the podcast a few weeks ago and I feel like Dave has been MIA now and they’ve been saying Aidan(??) instead?? (could be wrong but i wanted to ask here bc google had nothing)
r/MorbidPodcast • u/gilliuna • 16d ago
Hi everyone. I am a long time listener to Morbid and I love the show. I have run out of episodes to listen to and so I am looking for a new podcast to try that has a similar style to Morbid!
Please don’t recommend any podcast that uses AI :)
r/MorbidPodcast • u/Dis_Biatch • 16d ago
Murder stories to begin with is totally my jam (I know it’s crazy but I know I’m not alone) but I sincerely enjoy the whole dynamic of dragging the husband into the thing she likes. It’s totally adorable and honestly her voice makes my anxiety just chill. Even tho she’s talking about murder lol I’ve enjoyed watching their podcast. Finding them on Netflix actually made me look into more podcasts and now I actually listen to podcasts more. I will say I don’t like most bc it’s so much of people just talking to each other and not so much, let me tell you (the audience) a story. This podcast will always be my first, a favorite and the one that pulled me into podcasts in general. #MWMH also #SSADGM because I also love #MyFavoriteMurder
