Murder With My Husband
A true crime podcast that ventures into the darkest crimes with a wife who loves it and a husband who hates it.
Our Editor's Take
The podcast Murder with My Husband emerged when a clever young couple figured out a fun way to dodge a tricky fact of married life.
There's always at least one thing that's a big point of contention between people in a relationship. For instance, one might love sports, while the other hates sports. So the sports-lover knows they'll have to be crafty with the “when” and “how often” of their game-watching. And the sports-hater knows they'll be full of dread the whole week leading up to the big game.
True crime is the most contentious topic for Payton and Garrett Moreland. Payton can't remember a time when she wasn't obsessed with murder mysteries. Garrett, meanwhile, hates murder mysteries.
The Morelands took a productive approach to their divergent reactions to true crime. Payton doesn't retreat to the bedroom to take in murder stories while Garrett steers clear. No, the Morelands decided to lean into their differences. They started—together—a true crime podcast.
On Murder with My Husband, Payton Moreland gets to explore a new juicy murder case every episode. The creepier, the better. She does exhaustive research, and she loves it. And she gives shout-outs to every last source she references.
Then Garrett has his big moment. In the Ten Seconds segment, he gets to discuss anything he wants. (And he almost always gets more than ten seconds.) After that, though, Payton's all business. She covers, in painstaking detail, every tiny twist and turn of the featured murder case. Meanwhile, Garrett, who does zero preparation (on purpose), walks in clueless. This results in completely genuine reactions.
The Morelands have been recording successful Murder with My Husband episodes for a few years now. At this point, even Garrett admits he's having a good time. Listeners will too when they press play on Amazon Music.
