Thank you so much Laura for shining a light on what DV looks like when it’s not physically abusive. Your podcast has helped me so much in understanding what I have and am going through! Your content has changed my life!

Goodness me!! I am aghast with the mess up of this case., Sounds like Eion Bailey and Prince Andrew went to the same school for lying. …. Truly this is awful for Sophie's family.Read full review »

I recently tuned in to the episode titled "My Mum Wilma McCann." Richard's journey after losing his mother is truly remarkable. His story moved me deeply, and I found it difficult to hold back tears. I'm incredibly impressed by how he managed to transform his life and is now...Read full review »

Although difficult to hear about, facts are laid out clearly for us in a spellbinding manner which brings us to understand the perspective of the victim and basically how all women feel. This podcast woke me up to the realization of how much blame is put on women for everything even for being...Read full review »

Enjoy this podcast, although find it slightly frustrating that the first episode is at the top of the feed so have to trawl through to get the latest episode

Came here from Real Crime Profile where I first heard Laura. The level of detail Laura gives to these cases is unmatched. I have learned so much listening to these episodes. The Gabby Petito case was so well detailed and I heard so much more about the case here than I did in the media. I listen...Read full review »

In general, a coronial inquest is a public hearing where the coroner reviews and goes through all the evidence to identify the manner and cause of death. Witnesses were called to give evidence of their knowledge and understanding based on the circumstances of the death. I love your analysis of...Read full review »

Laura’s expert experience, particularly as a woman in law enforcement, is so powerful in her breakdowns of these cases. She is also deeply empathetic and so caring with those she interviews.

Laura is simply the best. Every case is reviewed with so much respect to the victims, survivors and family members.

Joyce Division via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 04/05/24
How Laura breaks down all of these cases is just mind blowing. She nails every aspect of the cases and just verbalizes everything that we all think. it’s time women actually stand up for each other and it’s time women are given a voice. Thank you and we all enjoyed the same to everything you have...Read full review »

Laura is a fierce defender and advocate of victims the world over. What I most admire is that she isn’t afraid to speak the truth. She is a total pro, and has walked the hard yards so this means her deep case dive podcasts in particular are by far the most unrivalled in the true crime field. I...Read full review »

Your podcast has taught me to look, to listen, to look again and to listen again. It has opened my eyes to how the narrative is being offered and by whom. Thank you Laura.

Informative, fascinating and always respectful to victims. Laura’s professional analysis is incredible.
Seamussf via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/28/24
Laura uses this phrase “Shero” a lot in regard to women she admires. Anyone who is working with women in any capacity, raising a daughter, has a women in his or her life, should be listening to this podcast. Thank you Laura for truly mastering your craft and teaching what you have learned.
Fleurgirl23 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/26/24
Yay, the Laura & Sam show! I always listen with real interest to Laura’s podcasts, and these latest episodes with Sam have been even more fascinating. Great insight into these cases and the hard work and perseverance involved. More Laura & Sam please!
MooWoods via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 03/26/24
I’ve learned a lot from the Crime Analyst because of the evidence and information surrounding the victims. Idolizing or magnifying attributes about the killers is not important; however, solving the crime and remembering the victims is.
Fredzietanca via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/26/24
I know what your point is. Talk about the victims. Don’t mention the killers’ names. Sorry, good intentions, but those of us interested in true crime are interested in the killer, his motivations, is he a serial killer? What was his life like? Was he pretty ordinary like Bundy or pretty weird...Read full review »
Dreamseeker26 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/24/24
Laura Richard’s achieves what the majority of true crime podcasts today really lack! In saying that I mean that Laura successfully delivers in-depth analysis of topical cases, without aiming to sensationalise or trivialise what happened to the victims. Many true crime podcasts unnecessarily...Read full review »

Any podcast I listen to that has Laura in it is always fascinating.

Fabulous further insight into the Disappearance of Marion Barter. I really hope it leads to appropriate action and the revealing of the truth. Thank you Laura

I know I’ve already left a review about his series but it deserves another. What a formidable duo Laura and Joni are!

This is a great, engaging, informative and important podcast. We need more women like Laura to shine a light on the abuse, control and violence committed against women.
Eagle jaws via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 03/13/24
I came across Laura on Real Crime Profile (with Lisa and Jim) and I though this podcast educated and opened my mind to the errors of the authorities we are supposed to put our trust in. Well I was wrong!! As soon as I knew about Laura’s Crime Analyst I binged and educated myself further. As a...Read full review »

Love Laura’s work asking all the important questions and shining a light on misogyny and violence against women and girls. I’m learning so much! And I’m inspired to take action and become an activist. Thank you.

This is a Fantastic podcast. Laura give you an in depth and knowledgeable take on what really happened. And the best thing is that she does not “ sit on the fence” on anything. She lets you know exactly what she thinks

Laura Richards’ Crime Analyst is my go to for information and analysis on a myriad of cases. Her dedication to educating the public while seeking justice for victims is top notch! A gem!

I’ve always been fascinated by True Crime Podcasts but Crime Analyst is by far the best. Laura delves so deep into these crimes, often over several episodes.

Laura has been, and continues to be relentless and spot on in all of her work around DFSV.

Best crime-related pod ever. This retired psychiatrist can’t stop listening, or recommend it too highly. Required listening for all sexes.
Scalmb via Apple Podcasts · New Zealand · 02/27/24
I’m a woman, and a feminist, and I find the host’s constant derision of men really grating. I just listened to one episode where she makes unfounded assumptions about an instagram post sounding “masculine” and having “male energy” because it was more “competitive” in tone. Women aren’t just one...Read full review »

Her experience, her insight and laser sharp analysis are undeniable. Here’s a woman who’s devoted her career to protecting women and children from violence. And probably at great personal cost (not to mention risk! I can’t begin to imagine the haters and threats she gets). Some listeners are put...Read full review »
