Let's talk

Alaina Urquhart and Ash Kelley from Morbid

Sisters (kinda, they’re aunt and niece, but grew up together) and friends Alaina Urquhart and Ash Kelley are the hosts of Morbid (aka one of the biggest true crime shows around). Together, they blend meticulous research, detailed storytelling, and some humor to cover everything from serial killers, to creepy histories, to haunted tales. Autopsy technician Aliana and former hairstylist Ash guide listeners through a lighthearted nightmare in each episode.

“
True crime was always a subject that fascinated us and was one of our favorite ways to connect with each other as sisters and friends. We would give recommendations to each other on must-see documentaries, or a true crime book that we had to share! When we started the podcast, it seemed natural to talk about true crime and widen our conversation to include our new friends who listened from home.”
