Summary
Ever since Serial burst onto the scene back in 2015 , it birthed not only the world of podcasting itself, but an entire cottage industry of true crime podcasts, each one more ethically dubious than the last. But one such podcast may be, at least by title, the very worst: My Favorite Murder. This wildly popular series has been criticized over the years for its flippant water-cooler recounting of people’s real life traumas. And while My Favorite Murder made efforts to correct some of its wrongs, it has facilitated an avid online fandom called Murderinos, comprised mostly of self-proclaimed mentally ill girlies who have grown so prominent on the internet as to embody their own subculture. In this episode, Hannah and Maia discuss the bizarre formation of this alt-girl army, question arbitrary lines drawn in the true crime sand, and ponder whether shame is sometimes a good thing. Tangents include: Hannah and Maia undergoing public couple’s therapy, and Hannah’s coining of the term “shame-negative’.

| 0:00.0 | Hey guys, before we start the episode, I just wanted to pop in here and apologize for this sort of not so great audio quality. |
| 0:08.0 | We didn't realize until partway through recording that there was an issue with our mics. |
| 0:13.1 | We're still kind of learning how to record remotely, and there are some hiccups that come along the way. |
| 0:19.2 | But we hope you enjoy the episode anyways. |
| 0:22.4 | Happy New Year, you guys. |
| 0:25.3 | Wow. |
| 0:27.0 | We just recorded this today that you're listening to this. |
| 0:31.9 | And we've had the best December ever. |
| 0:35.7 | And 2024 ended on a really positive note. And 2025 is going to start really good, |
| 0:43.7 | too. Everything's turned around. They solved climate change, and Donald Trump hurt his leg, |
| 0:51.1 | and now he's resigned from office. That was a really gentle approach to Donald Trump. |
| 0:57.1 | I know. |
| 0:57.8 | I just don't want to be accused of something because this goes on the internet. |
| 1:02.4 | But yeah, transparency. |

| 1:07.9 | But, Maya, if we were to flash forward 30 days, what are your New Year's resolutions? |
| 1:14.9 | If not now, then when, am I right? Like, better late than never. Oh, or question, what were your |
| 1:20.4 | New Year's resolutions for this year? And do you feel like you accomplished them? I had two. |
| 1:26.1 | Hannah's was to be more of a bitch. |
| 1:28.1 | And to read more. I didn't read more. I read a couple books. |
