‘That’s Messed Up: An SVU Podcast’ is where ‘My Favorite Murder’ and ‘Law & Order’ meet
Liza Treyger and Kara Klenk are comedians and self-described amatuer detectives who investigate the vicious felonies portrayed on the popular television show Law & Order: SVU. Well, they do more than that, but that is one of their calling cards. Each week, on “That’s Messed Up: An SVU Podcast,” they break down an episode of the long-running crime drama, decode the actual murder that’s being fictionally portrayed, and even sit down for some chats with the people we see on screen.
Going in no particular order through the show, “That’s Messed Up: An SVU Podcast” has over 65 episodes in its feed. Episodes are a solid 120 minutes on average, filled with glorious banter that is a staple of Karen Kilgariff’s and Georgia Hardstark’s Exactly Right podcast network.

Every episode, they recap what seems to be their favorite episodes, extremely popular episodes, or episodes that were a bit heavy-handed when it came to disguising the real cases the episode’s murder was based on. Some of their listeners have never even seen a single episode of SVU! They seem to have just as big of a true crime following as they do a television-rewatch podcast following.
