Murder and mayhem are just another day at the office for the true-crime podcast hosts.
It wasnt so much a meet-cute as a meet-gruesome.
Everyone around me was bummed out by it, Kilgariff, 46, says with a laugh.

I always wanted to know peoples hometown murders.
So I think Karen and I talked all night about crazy murders.
Yes, a true-crimecomedypodcast.

(Serialthis is not.)
Every week Hardstark and Kilgariff pick a different murder to dissect and debate.
They launched with the cases of JonBenet Ramsey and Sacramentos East Area Rapist.
Its a tricky balance, to be sure, marrying the morbid and the mirthful.
I know that we are respectful.
or whatever it is, its welcoming to people.
(They hit the No.
1 spot on the comedy list in May 2016, a mere five months after launching.)
I probably wouldnt be alive without therapy, says Hardstark.
We get a lot of emails from people asking us, How do I get help?
or just Thank you, Ive been going to therapy now because of you.'
People who are trying to charm you are the ones you least expect and most suspect.
Because a normal person doesnt need you to love them, says Kilgariff.
The podcast has evolved in other ways since its launch more than 14 months ago.
As to the future ofMy Favorite Murder, well…
I think I want to start killing people, Kilgariff deadpans.
I could get away with it, too.
If it gets bigger and bigger, great, but Im enjoying this so much.
