Bless This Mess: A Southern True Crime Podcast

Bless This Mess: A Southern True Crime Podcast

Hey y’all! We are a husband and wife team from Louisiana that discuss murder, mystery, and mayhem with a southern twist! We cover true crime throughout the South, so pull up a rocking chair, grab your mason jar full of sweet tea, and sit for a spell while we chit chat, and laugh some about this crazy world we live in. If you are ok with some banter and a few well placed f-bombs, you are in the right place and we are glad you are here! Now if banter and cussing are not for you and you just want us to get to the point, check out our weekly release ”A Little Less Mess” where we cover the same stories but with no added chit chat or humor.
