Web Crawlers

936

Ali Segel and Melissa Stetten discuss pop culture, TV, viral stories, unsolved mysteries, creepy cults, scammers, and everything unsettling in between. “They maintain a loose, upbeat dynamic as they fall down rabbit holes, which means listeners can comfortably dip their toes into the deeply unsettling and unexplained, but won’t walk away feeling, well, haunted.” (Vanity Fair, 2020)

    You pay what you get for!
    It always makes me happy to see a new episode out!

    Why😢
    I used to love this show so so much for all of the true crime and strange topic episodes. Now they are only on patreon???! The free episodes are completely different content. I tried giving the 90 day eps a try, but that’s not what I followed for. Im sadly unsubscribing today😭

    My new best friends!
    I love these ladies. So happy to have found this podcast.

    Unsubscribing feels like a break up
    I used to love this podcast, it would be a fun part of my mornings but I haven’t listened in months. All their true crime episodes (which I originally subscribed for) are on Patreon which I feel icky about. It’s someone’s death, last final moments and it’s hidden behind a pay wall. All the free content is random news and 90 Day Fiancé which I don’t watch and I’m sure a percentage of listeners don’t either. I’ll miss this podcast but listening doesn’t bring me enjoyment anymore.

    This took a turn
    This podcast use to be fun, informative and hilarious. Now it seems to be a Taylor Swift fan club pod. It’s really annoying that this is all you ladies talk about. What happened to you guys, seriously?
  • HKreg
    My saddest breakup
    OG fan of the pod and longtime Patreon sub. It used to be the highlight of my week and topics were always engaging. Now the bulk of the episodes are spent on ad reads, shoutouts, begging for Patreon subs, and listening to voicemails. When an actual topic is covered it feels extremely phoned in. I’d never expect a particularly well researched episode from these guys, but at the very least they were fun to listen to and felt fleshed out. Honestly the way the pod has been running for the last year or so really feels like a slap in the face. Pod does not seem to care about listeners anymore (particularly if they don’t sub to the Patreon) and it’s been really sad to see what this pod started as and what it is now.

    Come, weird, come on, all types are welcome!
    Webcrawlers podcast is my happy place. If you think you’re weird, listen to this podcast for a while and you’ll start to realize how normal you really are. In the best way possible. Mail bag episodes are so funny. I love all of the content, I love the Patreon, love all the weird and wonderful stories, the hosts and all of the crazy mail and voicemails they get. If don’t like it, move on but don’t leave a bad review. The girls deserve five stars all the way. Love you craaaaazy bimbos!!!!! Boiiiiinnniinnnnngggg.

    5 stars!
    Informative, never disappointing, always making me laugh, honk honk. It’s last podcast on the left for the girlies
  • jayne kanosh165
    I did it!
    Sorry it’s taken me so long! This has been my #1 podcast since I started listening in May. It’s taken me forever to catch up on all the episodes. These bimbos make me laugh out loud! I had to join the Patreon so I could listen more. Love the news, love the mailbag, love the true crime. I even love the 90 Day recraps (secret: I haven’t seen a single episode.) Keep up the great work! Lalala!
  • Misty_Jay_cats_all_day
    Can’t take it anymore!
    I can’t take it anymore. I finally joined the Patreon. I was trying to catch up first bc I’m one of those people, but it’s now Oct 2023 and I’m only now just starting 2022. I love, love, love this pod. I found it through What’s Up Weirdo and so happy I did. I love all 3 of you, but Ali is my soul mate. And her laugh is so genuine. I love it! Thanks for doing what y’all do and keep on creepin’ on. 🖤

    bimbo news
    Have been listening since 2019 but I LOVEEEEE bimbo news 😭
  • Someruss
    So fun
    Love this podcast, love their connection with the fans. I drunk called their voicemail and they actually played it! I was mortified, one day I’ll call with the whole story. Congratulations to the whole team. I just signed up for the Patreon because I need their true crime/ mystery content. Keep it up y’all!
  • ilooovebubbly
    Garbage content
    They just follow talking points of the worst people. The one chock who dated that creep reeks of insecurity and lies about people to hurt there families. Mean woman with a terrible show.

    Honk Honk
    Remember that time there was a pandemic, the world was a dumpster fire, and you guys showed up with non-stop hot content round the clock? I do! Been listening ever since and am living for all the new hot 90 day and pop culture gos! Thanks for all you do!!!
  • Kell M.
    Changed
    I miss the true crime episodes :(
  • Nayroc
    Fun podcast
    I’ve been a fan of the podcast for a couple years now. I’m haven’t been a fan of the new direction of the show but felt a 5 star review was warranted based on the entire catalog. I initially became a fan based on the paranormal and true crime episodes. The mailbags are easily my least favorite episodes. They’re usually the same people calling in with yet another boring 3 part story. Bimbo news is a fun concept but not for me. I’m not a fan of reality tv or pop culture. If you’re into pop culture you’d really enjoy it because they host are relatable and fun. If you’re into true crime and paranormal stuff definitely go back and listen to everything.
  • jupovit
    Thanks for all the free content!
    Parasocial vibes are out of this world. Y’all feel like my cool, younger coworkers, keeping me in the know. Keep up the good work, pals!
  • Somegirlnamedashley
    If you’re not listening to WebCrawlers, ur lame
    My favorite podcast. Melissa & Ali are my car bff’s. I don’t even watch 90 day fiancé but love their reviews and think it’s hilarious. Bimbo news is the best and I love the personal transformation I’ve made into a full blown Bimbo! Life changing!
  • andanies
    A freakin’ blast!
    I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to rate and review but holy cannoli I love this podcast! I look forward to episodes every week- it truly is a treat to explore these wild topics and laugh along with the hosts. Ali and Melissa- y’all are the baddest baddies in the game- keep up the amazing work. Thank you for giving me joy to look forward to each week :0P honk honk!

    1000 Stars
    It’s taken me way too long to leave a review and I’m deeply sorry. Web Crawlers is the best!!!! Thank you for all you do and for all the great content you give us. Bimbo News is incredible and I’m so happy you’re recapping 90 Day Fiancé (best show on tv, I’m sure you can agree). Love you guys, keep up the great work ❤️

    It gets lonely sometimes being a remote worker, but Ali and Melissa make it feel like I have friends keeping me company! Keep it up!! …. Please!! LALALAAAA
  • Baccibleu
    Too many Patreon
    Sorry was really enjoying this podcast but there’s no way I can afford 17 patreons just to listen to podcasts….so it’s goodbye…maybe someday everyone will realize not every fan can afford to pay to listen to the things they enjoy…..
  • A-a-ron1
    Trash
    Anti cop statement on the first episode I listened to…. Bye trash!
  • haggee26
    Crazy good
    Melissa: “I never find any feathers.” Ali: “Well that’s because God doesn’t like you.” 🤣🤣🤣
  • karenlynn1998
    Amazing & Chill
    Love these girlies, their Web Crawlin’ content is the bees knees. They’re funny and informative, without taking things too seriously. It’s the best balance! The Crawlin’ podcast community is super cute with the mailbag episodes. Much love from Florida
  • Hayley Mc Cune
    Good Job
    My boyfriend said I have to rate this podcast five stars because it’s great.
  • cvk_ginger2
    Sorry it took so long to write a review
    I could honestly listen to you girls read a phone book. You’re funny & I absolutely love listening to you while I’m at work. Thank you for making my shifts go by faster. Sorry for coming late to the game! I adore you girls! Laaa laaa laaaaaaaahhhhh!!! Honk honk!
  • miss chanandaler bong
    Even better!
    I’m loving the addition of Bimbo news corner! The normal format episodes are fun but I can just sit and listen to Melissa and Ali chat about current news and pop culture for hours! Thanks for keeping me company while I work!
  • aeradyren
    Hard not to love these ladies
    I’ve been meaning to leave a review forever. I started listening to this podcast last October for a “spooky” podcast, and I haven’t stopped since. Ali, Melissa, and Maria (wherever she is) effortlessly blend humor and joy with weird and grisly stories. Thank you making me laugh AND giving me nightmares.

  • SteveVash
    Love this pod!
    Great deep dives into so many interesting subjects. 5 Stars!
  • Kimmyw7
    Honk honk
    My favorite podcast. This community is like a warm hug. It’s nice to know there’s other weirdos out there like like true crime, aliens, weird conspiracy theories, cuts and food. BOTH Ali and Melissa have lovely voices and I don’t know if I’ve ever laughed so hard when Maria got possessed. Keep it up ladies!!!
  • mankerhy
    It’s like listening to your best friends
    Truthfully this is one of my comfort shows. The hosts are hysterical and personable but also informative on so many varying topics. I always like forward to their episodes.
  • SeagullyG
    Obsessed
    I freaking love this hilarious yet informative podcast so much that I have dreams about Ali and Melissa and sometimes even producer Maria.
  • Sean_863
    I’m now a converted Bimbo
    This show is so much more than a true crime or paranormal podcast. The hosts are quirky, fun, and always add an interesting bimbofied perspective to whatever topic is being covered. They have built a community of weirdos who occasionally pop up in Mail Bag episodes, which are always so fun. I mostly skip the violent true crime episodes, but love any of the other weird episodes (paranormal stuff, aliens, scammers - all so good!) I wish they did more episodes about birds. I heard about this show from What’s Up Weirdo? and am glad I jumped on board.

    Horrifying and offensive to the Savopoulos family
    I was listening to this on Spotify and literally came to Apple to write this review because this podcast was so cringingly horrifying. The podcast on the Savopoulos family is a terrible disgrace, made light of an atrocity in the DC area and did ZERO favors to the family. I cannot imagine being these two women, imagining the two surviving daughters may listen to this, and going ahead with it. Makes my stomach turn thinking of anyone who was close to the family hearing that the reason they were killed is because Savvas was a mobster with negative evidence of such.
  • Lauren Randall
    These ladiesssss
    I love listening to this pod throughout my day. These ladies make me laugh, teach me about bizarre happenings, and offer a community to all the weird little bimbos like me. Ali and Melissa also have such enjoyable personalities! They are compassionate, curious, and have excellent senses of humor. Their friendship is as much a reason to listen to as the content itself! PS If Maria ever returns, that’s yet another reason to listen. Where on the web is Maria???

    Seating chart
    Can you let me know more about the issues with your seating chart at your wedding. Did fights break out or everyone hate each other?
  • Marsy2913
    Ali and melissssssssa
    are so smart and funny. I have a big lesbian crush on both of you. I’m forever a bimboooooooo. PS the GOP is absolutely based in hate. K bye
  • ZackVanDyke
    Great Podcast
    Are you a fan of podcasts? Are you a fan of things that are great? If you answered yes to either of those questions, then this is the show for you.
  • david 77
    These Ladies rock!
    Listening to Ali, Melissa and the (now absent) Maria is like hanging out with your friends..your friends who talk about ufos, bigfoots, crooked yoga pants companies and true crime. It’s tons of fun and you never want it to end. The mailbags are sometimes hard to hear but that’s not their fault. Otherwise, Webcrawlers are banging. La la la and Honk!
  • Rubbercucaracha

    My favorite podcast! Love Ali and Melissa

    Actually Sensationalize a bank robber / cop killer
    Completely appalled that these two would actually select the monster Shakur as someone to celebrate on black history month. A fugitive cop killer and hosts that tell their viewers to “ get over it” and happy she got away with it. Totally disgusting but what can you expect from these two. They’ve hit rock bottom folks.
  • Jen Nag
    Disappointed
    I have been listening to webcrawlers for a while now and I loved them! However, recently they made a comment about republicans being hate-based which is a large over generalization of a group of people. I am not defending one side or the other, but if they said this about any other group of people I am sure there would be a great upset. I am disappointed that they would promote such division given the current social climate we are in.

    La-la-love this podcast!!!! Honk, honk!
    I love this podcast. Started listening back in August of 2022, and am almost up to date. If you want a podcast that feels like late night conversations with friends that comes with the most amazing-kind-funny-accepting listener community, then look no further. If you want a hard hitting, serious, podcast, keep looking. Came to this through “What’s Up Weirdo” (highly recommend) and will be forever grateful for this gift. Keep’em coming!!!!
