“Good content, writing & delivery but why repeat "dot calm" multiple times during each show??!! It's "dot com", which rhymes with bomb, Tom and aplomb. Your affectation undermines your entire delivery, please say it right”Read full review »

“I’ve been a fan and avid listener for years.
If you’re a parent, listen to the episode 911 from February 2nd, 2024. It’s 7am on a Saturday and I’m crying happy heart mom tears.
Every week the episodes are insightful, thought provoking, and explore crimes and injustices in a new and thoughtful...”Read full review »

“I’m all for social justice but sometimes I need to get away from it for JUST FIVE MINUTES. That’s when I listen to true crime. Now I can’t get away from it on what used to be the classiest of true crime podcasts. Sorry Pheobs, when I want social justice I’ll to NPR.
Ps. Was really shocked to hear...”Read full review »

“Recent episodes have a lot of chit chat not related to the story. I was disappointed by joining criminal plus. Some podcasts I’d recommend that don’t have chatter are crime junkies and dateline.”

“I’m so happy that I stumbled upon this show. Like all who listen I love Phoebe’s voice. I listen to her to fall asleep. Her softness and cadence are so comforting. The stories are so interesting and if I set the timer I can catch up the next day. I signed up for the contract because I can’t...”Read full review »

“I have heard hundreds of podcasts of all topics and nobody tells a story as excellent as Phoebe Judge (and Ashley Flowers, but that’s another show), and the producers of Criminal are really excellent too. Great job and great podcast!”

“I’ve listened to Criminal since it’s inception and I loyally love it. I just came here to say that Toby Dorr has to be one of the dumbest and most delusional criminal ever. A prisoner used her to smuggle himself out of prison. She was a means to an end and to this day, she still thinks that John...”Read full review »
