    I’m Hooked!
    I’ve been listening to Ben since the RTOG and LPOTL days, and now I’m all in on Death in Entertainment. He, Alejandro, and Kyle have such a great vibe together, so much fun to listen to and they really pull you into the stories with some laughs along the way. Just a great podcast all around!

    Wow
    Great to hear Ben again and not have to listen to that moron Henry yell over everyone while trying to be funny

    Snow white episode
    Ironic that they talk about how the original disney cartoon was changed and then complain about them trying to update the show to modern sensibilities. I am so tired of whiney snowflakes complaining about diverse casting. Get over yourselves. Crazy how far ben has fallen

    Great times
    Fantastic show. Ben brought me but I’ve since gone back and listened to older episodes. Very entertaining! Keep up the great work.

    My new favorite!
    I stumbled on your podcast since I’m a regular True Crime listener and love pop culture… the algorithm sent you to me and I couldn’t be happier. I love your pitch black senses of humor and how well researched your stories are A++++

    Ben brought me

  • KDKahBoom
    A happy new find.
    Came for Ben Kissel, staying for the content. I am laughing so much and am finding the gallows humor is just what I need to survive the bizarro world we are inhabiting, so thank you!

    Ben Kissel
    Used to love the show! Was a lot of fun and listened often. Suddenly in the last few months, Ben Kissel was a guest often. That turned me off a little, but I stayed for Kyle and Alejandro. But now you’ve added Kissel as a third host, so time to unsubscribe. Kissel is an abuser who has not apologized for his behavior. I’m all for reform, but Ben has not shown himself to be remorseful or apologetic for his behavior.

    Happy I found you guys
    Originally found this show because of Ben Kissel. I stopped listening to his old shows when he left, so my true crime comedy fix has not been fulfilled for some time. This show has the perfect combination of banter, comedy and crime. Just when I thought podcasting was dead, you guys are bringing it back! Keep it up guys! More Jerii too!

    Entertaining and informative, and a guilty pleasure all in one!
    I took a job last year that required a weekly 2.5 hour drive to another city every week and looked for a podcast to keep my mind occupied during my long drives. I stumbled on you guys and have subsequently gone through the whole back catalog. Thanks for being funny and informative, and a guilty pleasure, all in one neat little podcast! Keep up the good work! P. S. - I like you guys enough to even put up with Kyle’s gross “Boston sports fan boy” ways!

    David Lynch eps 💜
    I am enjoying listening to the show evolved into what it’s going to be with the two of you and Ben. Especially with the David Lynch, two part. It was so good and I learned more about David Lynch than I ever knew. Touched my heart because I lost my wife who was always a big fan and I didn’t really get it. Love you guys. Marcy in Tulsa

    Die Happy
    Stumbled on this looking for a show on the Menendez brothers. The podcast is like a skin tag… a little annoying at first but it grows on you. Before you know it, it’s part of your life. Witty conversations and interesting chronicles of lives and deaths of those in the entertainment industry. After jumping around a few episodes I decided to start with episode one and work my way up. I’m glad I did (and highly suggest it). Lots of fun connections between episodes (Benadryl, Geeners, Boca de Peppo…so far… I love it). Their sense of humor me makes me happy. Looking forward to catching up one episode at a time. Great show gents, keep up the good work!

    Nice
    I’ve been listening for a year and I absolutely love this podcast
  • Phattyfingers
    Woah
    They do the research, which is the most important. Also Kyle and Alajandro are funny. Also! They like to cry and I’m for it.
  • Cristian Alaniz
    Entertaining and funny
    I love listening to the podcast while I’m working. I stumbled upon y’all on Tik Tok and I’m glad I did. The effort put into each episode shows. Love the humor that y’all have. Keep up the great work. Don’t go dying on us.
  • Strange Trigi
    Came for BK stayed for the genius
    Love Ben Kissel & so glad this is such an amazing podcast! Big fan! Keep the dark humor & deep cuts coming.
  • SlapUlikePennyFromGudTimes
    Five stars!
    Thank you guys for keeping politics out of it .. I just wanted to off set the one star review from that troll from this week that accused you of being sore losers and political? You guys do a excellent job ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ + follow

    Chris Todd is unhinged
    He is a gift to Courtney. There is compelling evidence for Kurt’s Murder enough without bringing up a “mirror theory” . I’m honestly surprised you published that episode. If I were you I would delete it and actually have a legitimate run through of available evidence sans clown.

    Good podcast, cry babies from the election results
    Go cry harder because Kamala lost, unfollow.

    My Favorite Podcast
    I found this show a couple of months ago before a long drive at night and have been hooked ever since. The show topics are riveting, the hosts are hilarious and play off each other so well. If you don’t give it a try, you’re making the biggest mistake of your life; you just don’t know it yet.

    Can’t be beat

  • Dananorama
    Welcome back Alejandro!
    Hey DIE guys! Thanks for this podcast. I love it. As a mom, I have made a habit of listening to podcasts while rocking the little to sleep. The only problem with listening to this one during bedtime is that I can’t always suppress my laughter 🤣 Missed y’all over the last month and am so happy to hear your voices again!
  • TheLayla420

  • coreybull
    Great Show!!!
    Love the podcast. Found you a few weeks ago and I’ve been listening to 4 shows a night. I live in the U.P. of Michigan and work overnight at the Home Depot, so your episodes get me through. Great combo of humor, information, and emotion. I have also been to Fond du Lac, but we call it Fondle a Yak lol sorry not sorry lol. Keep it up.

    Makes my ears bleed
    Man you are loaded with a lot of great info but I can’t handle the “humor”. What a waste.
  • Terry Dowdy
    Awesome!
    My favorite podcast discovery of the year! You guys have already gotten me through many long work hours with your interesting topics and hilarious banter. The conversations are authentic and not forced, which is a huge plus. Some podcasts try too hard, but not here! Keep it up, guys!
  • Skip808
    It’s not about you
    Atrocious. It’s like the hosts are all fighting to do their own stand up routine. 2% subject content 98% hosts trying to be funny

    My Serotonin Boost
    I stumbled across this show and I’m so glad I did. I love the true crime content with the niche of how insane the entertainment industry is. Hosts are hilarious, research is thorough, and I always find myself laughing along.
  • JennyTabb
    Came for Ben Kissel, stayed for a truly awesome podcast!!
    I decided to check out this show when I heard Ben Kissel was a guest. I’m so glad that I did as I absolutely love the Host’s fun banter and intriguing subject matter. This show has quickly become one of my faves and I would definitely recommend it to any true crime/conspiracy theory/spooky fans.
  • GaiaNin
    Too Good
    I just barely found this podcast, thanks to the Aaron Carter episode with Ben Kissel as the guest. I have been binging from the beginning to get all caught up. The dynamic of the boys is truly wonderful. They present the facts with just enough comedy. Not too sleepy, not too sloppy. Love this show!
  • Hildieboo
    New fave
    I listened just to hear Ben Kissel, but have quickly fallen in love with these guys and this pod. This is actually a great topic, done tastefully, with heart and humor. I’ve been recommending it to people.
  • Ikhfdtjgg
    Very Funny
    Found this pod because I missed hearing my favorite LPN host, and subscribed because Alejandro and Kyle are hilarious.
  • Robottie
    One of the best!
    This is one of the best true crime podcasts out there. I just discovered this last month and have been binging all the episodes. I am impressed! This podcast gets the balance just right. I’ve laughed (those Al Pacino impressions get me everyime) and I’ve cried (Judith Barsi episode). The hosts have great chemistry and this is one of the funniest poscasts out there. Keep up the good work and highly recommend!
  • parker george
    Fun to binge listen
    Excellent show overall. great stories, well researched, comedy is dark but hilarious makes my day at work go smoothly I'm a mail carrier so of course my customers talk to me when the most gruesome part of the story is happening. Highly recommend this show! if you like macabre and have a sense of humor this is it. can’t wait for the gang to start solving mysteries and getting blame by a creepy old guy in a mask for ruining his plans. Thanks to Mr Ben Kissel for putting this show on the map for me.
  • Adam87EC
    Whistle past the graveyard
    Understanding the therapeutic and completely human attraction towards gallows humors, these guys take the grimy, revolting side of entertainment and use it as a launching pad for some dark but ultimately mostly respectful humor. These guys kill and this podcast is worth your time.
  • Audac
    Got me through my second labor!
    I adore you three so much. The stories are so well researched, and the reactions you all give each other are very sincere. I like when you ask questions during the stories because you actually have a question, not because it’s scripted. You all are genuinely curious, and really great storytellers. Also, your improv work shines through in how you all banter. It’s very rare that more than one of you is talking at the same time and you fill each others’ pauses beautifully, like a well oiled machine. many other three-host podcasts would benefit from taking a page out of your book. I’m not lying when I say that starting when I got to the hospital all the way through labor, recovery, and two weeks after being discharged, I literally ONLY listened to your podcast (many episodes more than once). I needed to hear really good storytelling by three friends who really enjoy each other’s company. There’s so much levity in your banter, and I needed to hear it nonstop. It made me feel happy. A few notes: • I was 14/15 when Blair Witch Project came out, and 100% thought it was real #teamkyle • I love the way Alejandro says his name when he introduces himself #teamalejandro • I appreciate Mark’s experiences and Gen X perspectives #teammark
  • imtifflish
    The Best!!
    I’ve been listening for almost a year now, and it just keeps getting better!
  • Chandleriffic
    My kinda crime
    Loving the podcast! Sad to hear Mark has flown the coop, but I think the Die Duo works out just fine! I listen weekly and really enjoy the crime/comedy pod, and all the different stories you cover. Maybe cover a little dash of local crime from Weymouth or Wisconsin on an ep? Anywho, keep it up fellas!
  • PiperMaru2u
    Terrible
    They are just awful. They just blather on about nothing and don’t really get into the case. You are for sure one of the worst true crime podcasts
  • Carlee Nuber
    Love this pod
    Love the show always makes me laugh and love you guys insight,opinions, and stories
  • The braver little toaster
    Best show about death bar none
    I shoot a rope whenever a new episode drops. This pod is the best and one of the hosts is Bob from bobs burgers. Click your hooves on that subscribe button!
  • Dragnfly6
    Love this podcast
    My new favorite podcast. Not only are these guys hilarious, but the sound quality is outstanding. I hate listening to a podcast when there’s static, or the hosts sound a million miles away. These guys actually edit, they mostly stick to topic, and they include content clips. I really hate YouTube, but I might actually take a look at D.I.E. Check out this podcast!
  • DashboardDrummr
    Awesome!!!
    I love this podcast!! It was recommended to me by a friend who knows one of the guys. Really funny, yet informative about Hollywood history. Love it!!
  • uniberryco
    Love, love, love
    This in one of my faves, I listened to all of the episodes and can’t wait for the next one! Love you guys, the way the story is told and the in between banter just makes this podcast amazing. Can’t wait to listen to more.
