This would be a good pod cast if there wasn’t a ridiculous amount of unnecessary self censorship. Rape isn’t a bad word and saying “r worded” is just stupid

I have refused to listen to anyone’s coverage of The Mushroom Cook story, I believe from Australia, because no one would do it better than you

I LOVE THIS PODCAST but sometimes it can get a little bit scary. Yet I still come back everyday to listen

Amazing narrator, great research, intriguing stories…really miss your bake a murder channel though!

Hi Stephanie, I am a big time fan and I have a case idea that is still going on right now but I think will be interesting once it’s done. I know it’s about a newborn’s death but in my town (Manchester, New Hampshire) someone put a baby in a pond at a park here after it died. The case is still ongoing and will most likely not be done for a while but I think it might be interesting.

I absolutely love this podcast! She has such talent! Her husband seems to ask the questions that I’ve just been thinking . The way she re-tells the stories is so amazing and definitely keeps you wanting to hear the entire story. Great Teamwork!

Okay so… why is every dark case I’ve heard have Disney involved “ and it all started with Disney”( ruby Franke) and “she got a new job at Disney” ( daughter goes missing after snuggling with 37 year old step dad) omg Disney is evil??? Me and my family went to Disney for 7 full weeks staying at a hotel in California my uncle got a divorce and this guy broke in to our room we called the cops but still very scary this was all at the Disney land resort like anyone else getting weird vibes from Disney it’s like sexist Walt Disney is haunting families….!!!!

Mr. Mango is the best part. I completely disagree with the previous commenters stating otherwise. I do wish he would talk a bit more, actually.

Stephanie narrates so beautifully. Her insights are insightfully and appreciative!!

i listen to these everyday when i get ready for school and i find them to be very enjoyable :) i think some of the lower reviews are not very accurate when explaining why they dislike the podcast, becuz 1. mr. mango is being told the stories, which is why he is quieter, becuz he is a good listener :) and 2. i do agree sometimes she can be a bit biased, like the criminal of the story is always the bad one, but not always because sometimes stephanie only has 1 side of the story to go off of, meaning she can’t really help but be on that side when things could be different for the other. i really really like that she does topics in other countries and not just america. i found her on youtube in like 2021ish from the ones where they make the food, and then i found this one and its my mission to finish all of them :)) anyways if u read this much than thanks for reading lol and literally slay stephanieee 💗😍

It’s still amazing though and Mr mango gets his time to shine in baking a mystery and moral of the story!

Stephanie has grown as a true crime youtuber / podcaster. I’ve been a fan of her for about a year.i found her videos off Facebook then YouTube then now this app. If you listen from her older post and now post you can tell how much more confident she is when telling the stories and I am so proud of her for that. I love how she covers stories from around the world and the US. Keep up the great work!!! As a military family my husband and I listen to her whenever we travel. And we’re always like “ oh my gosh I think there’s a story on Rotten mango about this place” lol Thank you!

She constantly makes things up doesn’t even take the time to see if 2000 calories is very little for a child to eat or not. Just says that’s not enough food with extreme confidence. Which in turn makes you wonder if the facts she states in these cases are actually facts or she is just making things up.

Listening to a podcast where you’re forced to listen a bunch of acronyms because these soft sentences of humans can’t deal with hearing actual words.

You guys (other reviews) need to stop bullying the “co-host” her literally husband what does it matter to you if he’s not putting anything towards the stories? He’s not in the podcast for us but for her… she basically telling him and us the stories if you don’t like it maybe watch someone else because he’s been in the videos for years. Thanks love rotten mango!!

guys i love this pod sososos much it's soooo good ALSO PSA!!!! I swear mormons aren't that bad!! 😭 and im they don't target them and i do appreciate their efforts to remain impartial but in the latest franke episodes just tonlet yall know, we aren't that bad ❤️🫵🫵

Update review: This podcast just gets better and better. Clearly, a lot of research and Su’s presentation is captivating.

This podcast for my commute and for sleeping I do Dead Sleep!

I just discovered this podcast and love it. Question though - from an ease for the viewer perspective, when you’re doing episodes multiple episodes for one story, can you please for the love of god add in the description the PART NUMBER. Thank you!

This is the best podcast ever!!! 5/5 stars! Will recommend!!

This podcast is so deep and intriguing. Super entertaining! Highly recommend.

I love rotten mango! She sympathizes for the victims and doesn’t hide her disgust for the perpetrators !! She cares about her listeners and her fiancé always asks the right questions!

I LOVEEE her videos and this podcast soooo much

I usually don’t listen to podcasts, besides one podcast! But now this is my favorite podcast to listen to at work! It’s funny and full of information I didn’t know.🥰

This podcast is AWSOME!!! It’s so addicting and I feel that I can trust that the facts are correct🥳🥳🥳

Love the podcast so much! Look forward to every episode!

I watched her from YouTube. And then I switched to podcast. Her and her husband are so funny. lol I’ve listened to almost all of her stories. And my goal is to finish it lol as an Asian American myself I can relate to some of the stories when it comes to the Asia countries. I think that’s what drew me to her YouTube. She covers stories not only in the US but also around the world. I’m currently on dialysis and she makes the time during treatment go by faster. Thank you to Stephane, her husband ( Mr Mangobutt) and her team.

I love this pod & been listening for years. I love how it’s stories outside the US and dif cultures rather than the popular US ones. Lately it’s been mainstream & I wish she would go back to doing cases that are outside of US or not covered by other people /:

Stephanie is great at captivating my attention with the story she tells at the beginning. I appreciate the way she retells the events and the amount of research that goes into each episode. Her husband is also an asset as he says the things we’re all thinking and even asks clarifying questions.

You know when I listen to this podcast my mom tells me that isn’t it disturbing cuz it’s true crime and it’s scary but Stephanie make the true crime even better and she kinda makes it funny 😁

I cannot stand the overacting and dramatic monologues of every store. It makes it so difficult to listen to.

This podcast has good topics and dives into a lot of subjects I haven’t heard of, which is great. My biggest issue is that she states her opinion as if it is objective fact. There is no nuance or grey area, it is all black and white. Additionally, it can feel extremely judgmental and gives validity to internet trolls who leave rude comments by including them in the story. Commenting on the way someone puts food into their mouth as if it makes them a bad person is really gross and also contributes to fatphobia and food shame. I’m 20 minutes into episode on the TikTok mom and feel like the table is still being set for the episode. I don’t know where this is going, and not in a way that feels exciting. More wondering what the broader point is. I like her voice and don’t have a problem with the quiet cohost, I just wish it was more fact based and less about what she or the internet thinks about the topic or person.

Stephanie never fails to WOW me with the news’ stories she elects to cover. Her presentation is capturing. The stories are easy to follow no matter how complex the story. Above all, her reporting is incredibly accurate as I always follow up to learn more and look at images. I think Stephanie would be successful as a true-crime author. I highly recommended this podcast for mature audiences.

Stephanie does a really great job at getting me immersed in the story than her cohost ask some really obvious question or says something dumb. I tried starting to watch from the earlier episodes and realized that. I later tried to watch more recent episodes and realized that it still persisted.

idk how you do it but I listen to you a lot, you give great reports on crimes.

I’ve been a longtime listener of Rotten Mango, and it never fails to keep me hooked! Stephanie does an incredible job of thoroughly researching each case while delivering the story in a compelling and engaging way. Her storytelling style makes even the most complex cases easy to follow, and I love how she balances the serious nature of true crime with moments of thoughtful reflection. You can tell she puts a lot of effort into making sure each episode is informative and respectful to the victims. I absolutely recommend this podcast to anyone wanting to dive into the psyche and story behind true crime.

Hey just wanted to give some info, borasca was originally a creepy pasta!

I absolutely love this podcast but I’ll be reviewing only Episode 363 of Rotten Mango by Stephanie Soo, titled "Evil Twin Tried to Kill 'Perfect' Sister to Take Over Her Identity." Stephanie delves into the case of a twin sister who went to extreme lengths, including attempting to kill her sibling, in order to take over her life. The episode keeps you on the edge of your seat, unraveling the dark and twisted motivations behind this shocking act. Stephanie does a great job breaking down the personalities of both sisters and explaining how their complicated relationship led to such a devastating outcome. She balances the emotional depth of the situation with the facts, making sure listeners understand the psychological factors involved. What really stood out to me was how she described the victim's strength and the psychological toll the crime had on the family. Stephanie's narration is clear and engaging, and the pacing is perfect, keeping you hooked until the very end. This episode is a gripping listen for anyone interested in true crime, especially those who enjoy learning about the psychology behind criminal behavior. The storytelling is solid, and the episode is well-researched, which is why I’d rate it 5/5 stars.

I’m not sure what the point of the guy on this show is. He doesn’t add any useful content and honestly seems kind of out of it most of the time. There are definitely moments that are questionable and judgmental, but that’s bound to happen. Other than that it can be interesting.

I’ve never heard of this podcast until trash Trevino got put on it and in the YouTube video she gave a shout out to her effort to help Palestine, an immediate follow on all platforms. I’m very much looking forward to listening to past and future podcasts

I’ve been watching since the mukbang days & every story is always told amazingly by Stephanie soo & the input from her husband is always on point! It’s like he asks the questions I have in my mind 😂 thank you for all your work!!!

Instantly hooked, however, I cannot immerse myself in the worst of humanity. This is just awful. I felt slimy long after listening. The host however deserves a Wendy Williams crown. She’s amazing!!! The show is unhealthy and genius! Bravo!!

Just stumbled upon this podcast and I have to say I’m super impressed. She goes so in depth on everything and doesn’t leave a single leaf unturned. This podcast has definitely joined my regular rotation.

She’s amazing at telling the documents/stories!

I love her podcast and I always listen to her to get my school work done all in all she’s the best

Luv u❤️

I love Stephanie- she does such a great job winding through her stories in a passionate and well written way! I know some people don’t like that she inserts her own opinion, but it’s one of my favorite things about her. I love the international stories and being able to see the parallel of human nature in all societies so keep that up please!!! I know that on YouTube, you have to censor yourself to not get dinged and that’s my only complaint about this podcast. Is the use of the R word and SA-I don’t think it does any justice for the victims to water down what was done to them. If we are choosing to speak of these crimes, we should not be allowed to make it more palatable for ourselves to say or hear- being sexually assaulted or raped is not palatable to those that have experienced it and it is not okay for the world to try and make it so.

Random suggestion, but what if you had Mango with you while you chat? I’m new(ish) to the podcast so not sure if Mango has actually joined us yet. I think listening to this has helped me understand some of the chaos of the world and it’s heartbreaking to know that some people are just heartless and will do these horrible things just out of greed. I also like all the conspiracy theories, I’m not sure. I guess I like how it gets my brain going and think more deeply to the point where I’m stuck in bed for 6 HOURS. Love this podcast so much! <3

The host is a great storyteller. She does a lot of research and tells her stories with both enthusiasm and sympathy.

You are a fabulous story teller, just realized it’s just that a story. Your Ash Trevino episode, really highlights your gifted story telling abilities. You really should try to be less Orion Willian, and give frequent updates that the audience is listening to fiction. Keep up the fabulous work, but add the warning “Label”
