Awesome podcast!

the jokes are tone-deaf. i was listening to the one about brenda and erica, whose throats were slit by ron and dan lafferty. terribly sad crime, very senseless, and the “jokes” were every other sentence and seriously undercutting the gravity of the crime.

Hey baby! Only just discovered you bloody marvelous cucking dunts!! Love you madly and hope you come back. Be well and safe. dea

Bloody Murder is a perfect blend of true crime story and comedy, without lacking real empathy and compassion for crime victims. Barney and Tara are perfectly inappropriate, often vulgar, and sometimes rude to each other in the most hilarious ways imaginable. If you don’t think true crime and comedy can possibly go together, please give this show a listen! I learn a lot about Aussie slang and I really enjoy the great dynamic between Tara and Barney. True crime + comedy + cursing = Bloody Murder = awesomeness!!! Thanks for a great podcast!

I got 15 minutes in and had to shut it off. I’m all for humor in true crime, but the jokes weren’t funny and far too many. They were also incredibly forced. And a man and woman joking forcedly about mansplaining? Yeah… skip this one and pick a better true crime podcast.

Hey baby!

… but while I love humour, even dark humour, said humour has to actually be funny—not just a bunch of foul-for-no-reason-cussing. The so-called “banter” lacks spontaneity and seems forced in places. The woman is just plain GROSS. I listened to the one about the Neo Nazi and the way the parent’s comments were voiced was not only not funny, but crass and patronizing. Families of perps suffer as well as families of victims—though I’m not running a suffering contest. What is the motive for reading these people’s comments from the NYT in silly, cartoonish voices? Also, intro, breaks and banter take way too much time. The crime seems almost a footnote to these two and their mediocre humour. I won’t be subscribing or “following” as it’s now called I don’t know what to say about the rave reviews of this garbage and can only think these listeners are about 12 and spend most of their time drunk.

There’s nothing more disgusting than a true crime podcast that has lots of raucous idiotic repertoire throughout.

First Listen, 3 Stars. 38. Chopper. OMG, the lingo and accent hurts. Especially the pre-recorded playback. At the 25-minute mark they're playing a recording from a movie and honest to God I’m understanding NONE of it. My Bad. But I do have more than 60 years of English under my belt. I will give this two more episodes before canning. Can’t can it. These guys are hilarious… when I do understand what they are saying. 4 Stars.

just listened to episode 167 about the Gold Coast rappers… correction—TRIED to listen to it… I was super interested in the case, but OMG the female host is BEYOND annoying, offensive, tone-deaf, etc. which is sad because i actually really wanted to hear about the case

One of my favorite podcasts! Interesting topics but also hilarious and compassionate

Great show and love the humor!! I never knew Cu** was such a widely used word there!! 😂😂😂 And a bug HEY BABY to you both!!!

The hosts aren’t nearly as humorous as they would hope. Gave it a fair shot and and listened to a few episodes but it’s a no for me. Hosts are somewhat likable but the profanity and crudeness are so frequent, I can’t focus on the subject. Tone it down.

Please support Free Range, and Cage Free Barney’s!!

Turns out one can find true crime AND dark humor all in one place! This duo liberally sprinkles comically timed lady-swears and deep dive research throughout the story.

Barney and Tara are hilarious. Great storytelling and oh the banter!

Tara and Barney are a minty fresh breath of air in the genre! While taking care to only target perpetrators for humiliation and maintaining respect for victims and their loved ones, they still manage to convey the suspense, mystery and resolution I crave in my true crime cases. Some may not think humor is appropriate in this context- but fear not, the jokes only hit half the time. JK they’re hilarious! Do yourself the favor and listen to a Cambo guest appearance episode!

This is one of the funniest comedy/true crime podcasts I’ve ever heard! Every episode is full of clever jokes, but the hosts still manage to convey the seriousness of the crimes they cover and stay respectful of the victims. It’s the perfect balance of comedy and true crime. My favorite part, besides the well-written jokes, is that there’s not an hour of chat before the story; they save the chat (and hilarious outtakes) for afterwards, which is perfect for lightening the mood after, y’know, hearing about murder. I also like the “True Crime Nerd Time” listener recommendation segment in the middle of the story; I’ve gotten some good recommendations from it and plan to write in with my own! Thank you so much for a lovely podcast!

I love this podcast. Funny and informative. Best of both worlds. Love hearing stories from Australia. I imagine we’d be best buds! ❤️

Bloody Murder is fabulous!!

Sariban & Black entertain and educate, whilst maintaining empathy for the victims. Jugglers of stories entwined with Murder, that can become Bloody complex and bizarre. Simply, give one episode a go and you’ll be hooked. Bloody Murder podcast with Barney and Tara, is brilliantly addictive. I’ve been a Fan since their first episodes. I’ve never once regretted this “monkey on my back,” or the vocal company from the Aussie hosts. Thank you, Tara, Barney and swingin’ Travis the chimpanzee. *This review is not fake nor is it a hoax. 🙃

YOU CANT FIX STUPID BUT YOU SURE CAN NUMB IT WITH A 2/4! ALSO HEY BABY

You’re great!

If you love true crime and a lot of laughs this is the podcast for you! Barney and Tara are so great. This pod cast is my new obsession and it makes my daily commute something I actually look forward to. Also don’t miss out on the banter at the end of the episodes. It’s totally worth listing to especially if you (like me) can’t get enough of Barney and Tara time! All I can say/yell is “HEY BABY!!!” Thanks B&T, your new stalker -Dan from Massachusetts

The hosts are wonderful and candid! Their jokes land every time

Love the podcast!

Just found my new favorite murder pod cast.... Something new to get thru winter Covid-19 lock down....

Is fun, and invigorating, and even nearing 60, something I will continue doing. Try it sometime!

Can’t get enough. Love Tara and Barney’s bad guy bashing and sense of humor. Always impressed with the compassion shown to the victims and their families. Keep the episodes coming....

Entertaining and informative. Great fun.

Comedic geniuses. These awesome Aussies have chemistry out the wazzoo. Lovin’ it!

Have binged all episodes can’t wait for the new ones.

Love the podcast

That word is offensive. I’m only saying because I don’t want you to lose followers. Love the show.

I’ve been listening for over a year and it’s about tome I pay my respects to you amazing podcasters! The laughs, the jokes, the banter..: I love it all can’t wait for Sunday!! Keep —. Alicia from OKC

The murder, the cussing, the jokes. THE BEST. I’m an American listener and just started listening. Will continue until they stop recording.

Great voices great chemistry very entertaining!

Look forward to each episode

Mechanical birds aren't real

I didn’t dream that murder could be so fun!

You two are great!! Listening makes my day!! 😍

Love you guys! Thank you

Just heard your ad. Really, unnecessarily, snotty. Don’t poke a stick at other podcasters. Everyone has a style; just define yours without doing it at the expense of anyone else. Just neither funny nor relevant. New rules in this day & age: Time to grow up.

Hey sexy Russian Tara, and Sexy voice Barney Black! Love your show--don't stop. Ever.

Of all the (True Crime and other) podcasts I listen to, this is the only one that consistently makes me laugh out loud! The banter between Tara and Barney is hilarious; while at the same time the other commentary shows how caring they are about the victims. Keep it up!

To tell sad tales but in a way that you somehow still laugh. Hold on to your Bollars and Barney Bucks, get ready for a great ride.

Just started and I love it! These are funny and the jokes just makes it interesting.... I can listen for hours even after work lol it’s catchy and understandable. Keep it up guys 👍🏾👍🏾

Funny, smart and a swear-y good crime time! I like that this show really covers quite a few crimes that us (in the states) May have never heard of.

I know I left one a long time ago. But they’re letting me again lol. I know how reviews are key. So happy to do it again. Consider you both friends from across the pond.

These two are witty, energetic and amazing! They have incredible chemistry, plenty of snark and nothing but empathy for the victims and their families. I always laugh out loud listening to them.
