    Stop Saying MaRah & Taz Are Racist šŸ™„
    Take a seat, white men, and Karens mad at my title. Iā€™m a lily white Jewish girl & Iā€™m tired of yā€™allā€™s negative reviews - youā€™re wrong, full stop. Step outside of YOUR life experience & learn something. Okay, now that I said that, I cannot articulate how much I love this podcast! Iā€™ve listened to every episode & have many saved to listen to again when I travel. I share & recommend this podcast to everyone! You have & always will have a huge fan in me! I love you girls, your storytelling, your singing & your ā€œI know yā€™all donā€™t know me like thatā€, and your friendship asides. I love yā€™all, for real, and hope youā€™re around for years to come ā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļø. I canā€™t get enough! You make the world a better place.

    Binge worthy podcast!
    Hi Taz & MaRah. My friend Nina suggested your podcast over the winter holiday and Iā€™ve been hooked! I listen to multiple episodes a day & (sadly) am almost caught up. Itā€™s so cute when Taz says, ā€œYou-know-what-I-meeeeeanā€ & when MaRah spontaneously makes up songs. You both have beautiful voices (Taz yours is so smooth & soothing; I could listen to it all dayā€”- MaRah, your sweet singing always makes me smile). I love when you give us glimpses into your lives and let us in. Thank you for shedding light on underrepresented murderesses & educating us all on how the US system often fails Black women. Yā€™all are amazing. God bless!

    Read me please ā¤ļø
    ā­ļøā­ļøā­ļøā­ļøā­ļø I absolutely love Sistas Who Kill podcast! The storytelling is captivating and keeps me on the edge of my seat, often making me laugh when I least expect it. I think it would be amazing if they covered the case of Kristel Maestas and Ronald Bellā€”it's such a fascinating story! If you're a true crime fan, you definitely need to check this out. Keep up the fantastic work!

    Really
    Talking about it being ā€œwhite peopleā€ and ā€œget these white people out of hereā€ being the issue in regard to domestic violence laws in South Carolina is just ignorant. Always having something to say about white people and them being the issue. I used to love this podcast but the crazy racist talk is just too much and Iā€™m not even white.

    Top shelf
    The one thing that sets this podcast apart is you stay on topic. Even if you sidebar, you donā€™t stray so far that Iā€™m lost. In an effort to find more Black true crime I searched the players names to pull up all podcast about them. Then I just look for the black ones. So I get different black host talking about the same crime. Itā€™s like comparing great value to top shelf. I listen to the great value podcasts because they are black and I will add to their numbers every week. But I like you best. So I get one top shelf podcast a week and fill the rest of the time with great value. Side note: My daughter bought me Sistas Who Kill merch because thatā€™s all I wanted for Christmas. Iā€™m still waiting on it. She said shipping takes a while and Amazon prime has me spoiled. Sheā€™s right but can I get my stuff? Much love and success in all you do.

    Iā€™m from South Carolina!!
    I found you ladies about 2 months ago and Iā€™ve been binge listening ever since!!! Now, Iā€™m from SC and I agree with everything you said!! Been here all my life, they donā€™t like women or black people!!! Anyway, love you ladies and Iā€™m hoping to see yā€™all in person soon!! Probably in Charlotte!! LOL
  • Rissa D.
    New Listener, I LOVE
    I love this podcast so much, it was my New Year goal to limit my phone time during the day especially at work, and this is the perfect listen. Itā€™s so interesting to listen to, I started from the very beginning and Iā€™m obsessed. I research every Sista after you talk about them and just wanted to mention, did you all know that Josephine Gray was granted clemency from Biden? Crazy lol.
  • AntoinetteDenise
    I love it here!
    I just relistened from the beginning of time in preparation for the live show (Heyyyy from Chicago lol). I just wanna give you both your flowers!! šŸ’šŸ’šŸ’ I loved the show from the very beginning of time and I am so proud of the growth and progress youā€™ve made over the years! Canā€™t wait to see what 2025 brings!!
  • CamCher1
    Iā€™m spoiled!
    There has been a few times where Iā€™ve been in between downloads with you, and I attempt to listen to other podcasts in the same genre. Their style of storytelling makes me immediately wish that I never pressed play. Thereā€™s usually a lot of banter, but no background story or information to bring the story together. With that being said, I believe for 2025 I learned my lesson and I will just wait for whenever you give the next download. lol Thank you for all your hard work and providing us entertainment !

    5 Stars All Around
    I LOVE this podcast. Iā€™ve been into true crime for years, but nothing beats hearing these stories about black women from 2 black women I swear Iā€™m friends/cousins with. (Though MaRah could be my cousin - in my 34 years, Iā€™ve never come across another person from Lake Village that I didnā€™t meet/grow up with in Lake Village -shout out to the Ville lol). I love the side banter and you two crack me up every episode. Keep up the great work ladies! Canā€™t wait to see you at the Chicago show this weekend.

    10s, 10s, 10s across the board šŸ”„
    1/6/25: I wanted to add another 5 star review but that wasn't an option so adding to the original! This most recent episode (Jacqueline "Jackie" Ray) is so good! I loved the addition of the Nicki audio clip. Also MaRah as you were doing your rendition of Leon it felt like he was having moments of realization and I love that you showed that through your voice! Definitely appreciate your theater experience! Also s/o to the HBCUs! My pageant sister & mom both went to šŸ”°šŸ«¶šŸ½. I look forward to attending the Chicago show (weather permitting)! Hey yā€™all! I found out about this podcast from Jokes on You (shout out to Talley & Mel šŸ’•) & Iā€™v been hooked ever since! I appreciate the way in which yā€™all bring these stories to life, and especially that these stories are being told by women who have the heart and determination to make sure the details are all accounted for. As a Black Woman I find time and again that our stories get lost or misconstrued, so thank you for building a platform where our stories are the priority. Iā€™m in the Justice field so I love hearing the legal perspectives regarding these cases. The Helen Fraizer episode had me DONE when yā€™all said her momma texted the family saying that Helen stabbed somebody & that she needs prayer, because I expect nothing less from a Black Mother šŸ˜‚ Thank yā€™all again, take care & be blessed ā˜€ļøāœØ
  • Tew Cultyyy
    Great show
    Love the format and the stories. Please stop chewing food in my ear though, eat after you record šŸ˜©
  • grandrapidsboy
    Excellent work
    I recently flew to Rome to catch a cruise back to the USA, I didnā€™t listen to you ladies for 7 months, saved all episodes for my trip, the 12 hours flight, plus the 15 day cruise got me all caught up, I have a cruise booked from Australia but I canā€™t go that long without getting my SWK fix, keep doing what youā€™re doing and Iā€™ll keep listening.
  • Jmcannon1
    By far the best true crime podcast!!!
    Iā€™ve been hooked ever since me and boyfriend found this podcast, bayyybeee I havenā€™t listen to music in my car in so long because itā€™s strictly sistas who kill!!!
  • Jayoc
    The Best True Crime Podcast EVER
    Listenā€¦I found this Podcast during Covid. I love the personalities of MaRah and Taz. MaRah and her random singing and Tazā€™s reenactments make the days easier to cope with. Standing ovation ladies. You are black girl magic.
  • MyKell.L
    Love, Love, Love!
    I truly love the Show I started on 10/29 while at work. I was trying to get a feel for the Show because my sister bought tickets to the Live show in Houston and Iā€™ve been hooked ever since lol. This show has literally gotten me all the way through work each day. Iā€™m super sad about being almost caught up. Canā€™t wait for more!
  • jakobholden
    cheers to a great year
    so proud and excited to see you both shine and succeed. been listening for the last two years and watching you both learn and grow through the podcast encourages me through my own creative projects. this podcast brings together my love for both Black women and true crime and itā€™s funny without being disrespectful. Wishing yā€™all all the best and double the success in the coming years. āœØšŸ’œāœØ
  • TruCrimeLova09
    šŸ˜’ MANā€¦.
    Yā€™all have forever ruined podcasts for me. Thereā€™s nobody else like yā€™all and now when I listen to other true crime podcast I just get bored. I caught up to all the episodes that yā€™all put out and now Iā€™m stuck waiting for each episode to drop every week. Yā€™all are so funny and you really put a spin on true crime like nobody else. I am truly glad that I found your podcast BUT you have really ruined other true crime podcasts (and honestly shows) for me because they ainā€™t yā€™all! Keep doing what yā€™all do! Iā€™ll just keep waiting impatiently every week for the new episodes šŸ’œ

    Long Time Coming
    I love yā€™all so much! Two Black women actually discussing crimes of Black women with nuance and understanding that we NEVER see from them #other (read: white) podcast hosts is finally here! This is what weā€™ve been waiting for fr! Plus yall lowkey educational, really making me think about how many lives could have been saved (the incarcerated murderess and the victims) if this country actually cared about poor people (bc investing in the most vulnerable ppl in society improves the lives of everyone else). Investing in education, housing, employment, and healthcare could make such a huge difference in the US! Ugh, sometimes I canā€™t even listen to an episode bc Iā€™m so bummed about the circumstances surrounding the murderess. Anyway, yall are a bright light in this world (which is ironic since yall cover murder and mayhem), please donā€™t stop doing what youā€™re doing! And also, @listeners #LeaveMaRahAlone everyone be giving her so much smoke, but I love her HBCU shout outs and random singing and put-on voices and her giving us hints into her crash-out past! And I love Taz, too, ofc! #RetainerGang stand up!
  • VickDZ
    Thank you ladies!
    I started with one episode and now I am completely hooked! Thank you ladies for providing a solid product that is amazing. You ladies are excellent storytellers and I love how you sprinkle in your little tidbit about your personal lives and experiences. Iā€™m praying much and further success for you all. I wanna see you guys on TV one day with your own show and I am claiming it!!!! Love Vickie

    Iā€™ve loved true crime ever since I was a kid. I love this modern take that focuses on the sistas. The segments, the delivery, & the enthusiasmā€¦unmatched. Iā€™m still making my way through every episode. Keep ā€˜em coming! Also waiting on that Sabrina Dorsey episode ā€˜cause I know thatā€™s gotta be good!

    Yā€™all are TOP-TIER
    Hey MaRah and Taz, Iā€™ve been a fan for the past couple of years and itā€™s been an incredible experience listening to yā€™all tell Black womenā€™s stories from the Black womanā€™s perspective. What yā€™all do is invaluable and for that, Iā€™m proud. Please donā€™t stop ā¤ļø
  • Twinch0ng
    Now Iā€™m becoming skeptical
    All yall really do is plagiarism. You literally watch documentaries and quote them exactly. What a joke. Yā€™all need to write your own transcripts or something close to that nothing yall say is original at all. Very disappointing to learn. Very underwhelming. What a let down!!! What a joke !!!!!
  • Bonnie69420
    All the Stars
    This is the only true crime podcast i listen to and i started listening after MaRah & Taz were on the podcast formerly known as Whoreible Decisions. Started from the beginning and im on the 11/1/24 episode and NOT trying to catch up because you know why! Ladies, thank you for all the hard work youā€™ve put into this podcast over the years. Weā€™re not worthy!
  • Ladypink364

    Second time around
    I initially followed SWK because I love to support my black sisters. But, I must admit that the first time I took a listen, the colorful language made me scroll through to another favorite podcast. Recently, I traveled with my 26 yo daughter that chose the true crime podcast for our 4 hour drive and Iā€™ve been hooked ever since. Listening to you beautiful young ladies is like chatting with my daughter, niece and their friends. Thank you truly for the informative, passionate and colorful stories.

    Love the show!
    Iā€™m still in the process of catching up (Iā€™m in 2023 šŸ˜©) but Iā€™ll be so sad when I get there because I love this show. Marah and Taz are hilarious and do such a good job of telling these stories. I love the singing and Tazā€™s funny commentary. Iā€™ve also noticed how much growth you guys have made in the production of the podcast. Keep doing what youā€™re doing! We deserve our stories to be told too. The good, the bad and the ugly.
  • jwashington9
    You Guys are Awesome and Hilarious
    I love listening to yā€™all and you guys help through the day especially when I have to night audit at the hotel. You guys even helped me during my lowest days because you guys remind me that their is a light at the end of the tunnel. You guys keep up the good work and continue on lighting up rooms!

I love that your real and not what others think you should be!! And Iā€™m sure you guys are just as wonderful when your not recording than u are when u are recording!! I love to see my black sistas doing something positive and not tearing each other down!! Too bad I canā€™t do more than 5 stars!! From a true Louisiana woman and not around New Orleans Iā€™m in Lake Charles on the Texas border!! You guys stay blessed n keep episodes coming!
  • Grayson stancil
    Simply the best True crime podcast!
    You ladies may not remember, but at CrimeCon 2024, my sister FaceTimed me because I'd just had my daughter and couldn't attend. Your brief hello nearly brought me to tears. What I didn't know then was that my sister had asked you to sign a birthday card for me, which she gave me in June for my birthday with a SWK shirt. I'm belatedly saying thank you; your kindness meant a lot. Please keep up the great work.
  • Supmayz

Keep up the amazing work, sending you both love ā¤ļø
