“I listen to a lot of true crime. I was trying to branch out and listen to some more international stuff, but this one wasn’t for me. The host is completely fine and seems knowledgeable, but I just felt like I was missing. Ton of information at the end of each episode and I wanted them to be quite...”Read full review »

“I'm a long time fan of true crime and found your podcast quite by accident but wow I'm so glad I did! I am learning so much about Asian culture but also the false perceptions that many westerners have about Asia and the crimes that have gotten media attention. I applaud you for tackling...”Read full review »

“I enjoyed this one-person podcast a lot -- I binge-listened to all the episodes to date. It is very well-produced, with great research and great delivery. What makes it exceptional is the way she satisfiees the True Crime genre and then uses it to comment on enculturated ethnic narratives. ...”Read full review »

The one caveat that I have with the program is the frequent...”Read full review »

“This podcast does a great job of highlighting a crime (or series of crimes) while couching it in the cultural and historical contexts that are often lost in a world that exoticizes, generalizes, and infantilizes Asian countries into a vague monolith with a few facets at best. A particularly good...”Read full review »

“This podcast became a favorite of mine right when it started - I'm so glad the host decided to come back after a break. The podcast covers cases from the Asian continent that I have not heard of before, and also touches on some social issues. Would totally recommend for any true crime fan!”

“This is one of the best true crime podcasts I’ve ever heard, and I’ve listened to most of them. Fascinating cases handled in a sensitive way, and with an in-depth exploration of the local and global context.
I can’t recommend this podcast highly enough! It’s an absolute gem.”

“Not only is new content rarely produced, but the content that is there isn't very good. While the tidbits about life in India and Singapore are really interesting, they're barely a footnote in an overall dull narration of the events of the crime. As a person of Asian descent, I wanted...”Read full review »

“What the host says in the beginning of her first episode is true. We don't hear about Asian true crime unless it's in Japan. So excited to hear new stories. If you're tired of hearing about the same old serial killers btk, Bundy, Gacy, and Dahmer this is for you.”Read full review »

Melissa brings you the political geography of the region covered using a local crime as a jumping off point for a much deeper discussion of history and context.
