    Alabama Meth Squirrel

    Alabama Meth Squirrel

The Perfect Palate Cleanser For True Crime Buffs

I listen to a lot of true crime podcasts, probabaly too many. I love World's Dumbest Criminals as it's the funniest true crime podcast out there. If you want a break from murder and mayhem this is the podcast for you! The stories are ones I've never heard of before and they're so hilarious and bizarre. The host's narration really underlines the absurdity of all the cases she talks about. Each episode covers several stories from around the world and is jam packed with laughs from start to finish.

no middle names ,

Tara is an oxy moron

I really liked Tara when I first come across her… thought she was really funny with a great sense of humour…. But she actually doesn’t have one. She is political and a feminist and abruptly stops her sense of humour to teach us all her beliefs. It’s tiring and inappropriate and has really limited her psospects because her audience that is attracted to her down to earth humour at times doesn’t react well to it.
Pretty much her humour is no holds barred in men and super sensitive to anything to do with a woman. But news flash Tara your true crime audience is mostly male. So well done tanking your own potential I am sure your fellow feminists didn’t support your career

Beccccck mc ,

Irreverent & well told

Listen to Tara take down the misfit crims with humour & wit but
“Don’t commit a crime that sees you end up on this podcast.”
