“Her stories feel as if she’s trying to sell us a house in the places where these murders happened. I don’t need a 30 min explanation on why I would want to live in a small town in Kentucky. Just get to the story”

“Listening to my first episode re a guy named Tex and I don’t feel like I’m getting a true crime story but spin by an unreliable narrator. Is this woman dating Tex or what? She also doesn’t understand criminal law based on her questioning of the felony murder conviction. Won’t be listening to more...”Read full review »

“This podcast is absolutely amazing, and Erica’s story telling is so beautiful. However, the amount of ads completely ruins the show. For example the Carrie Lawson Part 1, I skipped three ad breaks within the first 29 minutes of the episode… It takes you completely out of the show. It ruins it the...”Read full review »

“I used to like this podcast it was a favorite but recently there has been a shift and we are much more focused on things like race, missing white woman syndrome, and feeling bad for the criminals instead of the victims. It’s sad but it’s a unsub situation.”

“I listen to a lot of podcasts, and have been listening to this one for several years. It, by far, has the most ads ever! Was not always this way.

“I’ve been listening for a while, but the ads are excessive enough now to where I’m unfollowing. I listen to a bunch of true crime podcasts, and none of the others take this many breaks to have a ‘word from our sponsor’.”

“It’s absolutely appropriate that the podcast circuit, is at long last, fading away. This one is near the top for cringy, opinionated content, and I swear more ads than actual show. If you insist on listening make sure you have access to FF through because every episode has a minimum of FIVE ad...”Read full review »

“I absolutely love this podcast. Erica and her team really do their research and make sure the information they’re presenting is accurate. My only qualm is the amount of advertisements. I understand why they are in there so I try not to complain. Keep up the good work, Erica!”

“When it comes to guilt and innocence in true crime stories I pretty much always have my mind made up. However, Erica’s research and following narrative has made me think, stop and consider, and occasionally left me wondering what was the right thing to see that justice was realized.
So thanks!...”Read full review »

“I really don’t understand the high reviews for this podcast. She somehow manages to take really interesting cases and make them extremely boring with here monotone voice. I’m just going to assume the reviewers haven’t listened to good podcasts.”

“This is such a disappointing review to leave, because the quality of the content and the story telling is really good. But the number and length of ad breaks is wild and very obtrusive. Would be an easy five stars without the excessive ads.”

“I was hooked after a few minutes.

Exceptionally well-researched content, her delicious...”Read full review »
