“Amy needs to slow down! She talks (or reads) her cases way too fast.”

“In the Yardley case they use “toxic masculinity” as an explanation of cause. The only thing toxic is your anti law enforcement bias, heterophobic bias, racism toward caucasians, anti straight…the usual far left lunacy.”

“I’m just going to say it because I’m sure I’m not the only one who’s noticed. This show features interesting cases, well researched and always interesting. But the hosts’ grammar is atrocious, especially considering as they are both college professors. Today’s episode started out with “this was...”Read full review »

“I’ve been listening here as a longtime fan of Women & Crime (as well as both seasons of Direct Appeal). I loved the Jane Stanford episode so much I decided to leave a review. It was excellent, and I would love even more historical cases, though I like the balance; too many old cases wouldn’t...”Read full review »

“I really like the show overall, in particular they tackle legal issues pretty well. As a lawyer, former law clerk in criminal courts & general legal expert, I always hope true crime podcasts either don't talk about legal details or procedure at all or have someone to consult. This show...”Read full review »

“I love the doctors and enjoy their other podcasts. I pay for the premium subscription for Women & Crime because of the polish of that show. This show has weird repeats, long pauses, and other glitches that make a premium subscription hard to justify. I think Abjack does a disservice to good...”Read full review »

“I love these hosts and their women and crime podcast! Just found out about this one and dove right in, eager for a treat.
But the strange, dull background music was absurdly distracting and the speech somehow difficult for me to follow. I’ve never had that issue with these hosts before so this...”Read full review »

“Decent podcast but hard to listen with all the “in”. One of the podcasters always “umm” every few words. Its distracting and public speaking 101.
Ok I listened to another episode and there was an “um” every sentence. Maybe more. ITS HORRIBLE!!!!”

“Seems like it is getting worse. I used to be a paying listener, but the editing is so bad I couldn’t justify that anymore. Since then, it seems to have only gotten worse. It is constantly repeating, or pausing, or a million things without editing. I enjoy their storytelling but they really need...”Read full review »

“Let me say that I LOVE these hosts. Their podcast series about Melanie McGuire is one of the best ever and actually made me interested in podcasts.
I was thrilled when they continued with “Women and Crime” and “Campus Killings.” However, although both started out great, I’m not sure what’s...”Read full review »

They also started using an ad break announcement, which...”Read full review »

“Narrator is painfully reading, making no effort to make it sound natural. Second person is making comments or asking obviously prepared questions, and the narrator has prepared reactions to the questions and comments being made. Unlistenable.”

“I have the biggest girl crush on the hosts and listen to every podcast they have out. Why does this one feel so different though? I feel like they’re not as personable/ talkative in this show. I love hearing them interact and this has so much less of that.”

“I was interested in the story about Lauren McCluskey, but the reading isn’t fluid and is quite difficult to sit through. I learned through the comments that there’s also a copilot with painful commentary. I wouldn’t be able to sit through that either.”

“I still listen because I love Meghan and Amy but this show doesn’t do them justice. It seems like they barely like each other, when fans of theirs know that’s not true. But the worst thing (beside the weird ads) is the editing, most recent (Lauren McCluskey episode) is a perfect example. The ad...”Read full review »

“The stories are good but the hosts aren’t doing a great job with sharing them. It’s also poorly edited, when they repeat themselves because they didn’t read out the sentence properly, we get the repetition instead of it being edited out. There is no visible prep between the women who don’t...”Read full review »

“I’m really a fan of the subject of this podcast being unique to schools etc. the only criticism I can offer is the format of one narrator and a nagging copilot is not the best. Usually the comment from the copilot is answered in the next minute, it’s like watching a movie with a person that keeps...”Read full review »

There is nothing new here. Old, tired stories repackaged. Every episode is one that I have heard on other TC...”Read full review »
