Great podcast - however I’m gobsmacked that one of the presenters did not know about Purple State!! I live in Australia and I know more about American politics than you do? Weird

I absolutely love this podcast. I tell everyone about it (in hopes to get you two famous). I really enjoy hearing these stories from two educated women who discuss the criminology part of these cases. My favorite part of the episode is when you two discuss theories. I have learned so much just...Read full review »

I typically do not enjoy podcasts with more than one host. These two do a great job of remaining unbiased, keeping great dialogue, and most importantly- respecting each other. I love the effort and information these two provide. Thank you both! Brilliant podcast by two brilliant minds.

Interesting podcast, but it feels like these two women think if you commit a murder before 25 then we should just kind of shrug our shoulders and say that their brains aren’t fully developed. I don’t want to live in that society. I wish the compassion they have for offenders would extend to...Read full review »

I imagine that busy teachers don’t have the time to devote to scriptwriting. However, that would go a long way toward stopping Amy from constantly interrupting. I found it annoying.
Magalla704 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/07/24
Right mix of banter and info. The hosts have a great rapport and always respect the victim and each other. Sounds like you’re just listening to two (educated) best friends chatting about a case. Great job!!

Straight-forward and insightful. I love the nuggets of professional wisdom and appreciate the respect shown for the individuals covered. I only wish the episodes were longer!

Eh
After hearing a few episodes, it should be renamed “making excuses for women that do horrible things.” Thank god they talk about being “doctors” because you couldn’t tell otherwise. Not impressed
alexnim92 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/25/24
Make it look as though women are victims even when they commit crimes. I don’t like it
Jan Olivermann via Apple Podcasts · Germany · 03/20/24
Ehh
Kinda boring
xDearDahliax via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/19/24
I like the stories and telling of stories. I listen to “Wrongfully Convicted” and sympathize with those that can’t afford to defend themselves. But these two ladies are too proud of their “progressive” state and “progressive” thinking.

Greetings. It’s refreshing to have a crime podcast with actual facts, from professionals on a different side of crime. I can tell you love your profession as it comes through in the dialogue. You set the standard for crime podcast excellence. Be safe and stay hydrated.

It’s sad that this could be a very good podcast if you had actual interviews but… unfollow for laziness
LSD122070 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/12/24
Just discovered this podcast and have been binging it ever since. Btw, Meghan does have an accent, but much more subtle than Amy’s and is very noticeable with certain words. She just thinks she doesn’t have an accent or can’t hear it :) No offense intended, your podcast and accents are wonderful!
sportyspice11 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/01/24
I suggest you be more careful with your use of the phrase “common practice”.
Cags2022 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 02/27/24
I like that these woman talk about the crime theory at the end. Love this podcast

My favorite podcast. Amy and Megan you are such smart women bringing us the most interesting cases. With compassion, hope and useful resources. Thank you x

"Women and Crime" is an absolute gem in the world of podcasts! The hosts are incredibly intelligent, and their storytelling abilities are second to none. With each episode, I found myself learning something new and fascinating. The way they delve into various cases and shed light on the...Read full review »

I just love everything about these two intelligent, knowledgeable, and thoughtful women. I find their friendship to be so endearing. I wish I knew them in real life! The presentation of the podcast is fantastic all around.

I can’t even to begin to describe how much my wife and I love this podcast. We have listened to every episode and all of direct appeal as well. I hope this will continue for many years to come.

Professional and interesting. I really enjoy listening. Thank you!

Thank you for getting to the story without rambling and sticking to story so well I appreciate it keep it up!
jim kaso via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/30/24
and i’m hooked! actual criminologists:) fantastic. thank you
asc0502 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/23/24
This is one of the only podcasts I’ve found that doesn’t feel exploitive of the victims. Both hosts are professionals in the CJ field and can speak with authority. The shows are so interesting, well researched and a different angle than you usually hear.
Mod kitty via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/14/24
I found this podcast as a suggestion on another true crime podcast’s Reddit thread. It’s so good and informative. I’ve blown through so many episodes since I discovered it. I got my mom hooked too.
keeks0208 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/11/24
Fascinating podcast. I love listening to these smart, educated, experienced, well-spoken, professional women. The crimes are intriguing and I’m addicted to this podcast. This is one of the BEST true crime podcasts - and I’ve listened to a LOT of them.
TracyMSP via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/07/24
…but there is way too much victim blaming 😔
mycupfloweth via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 01/03/24
They keep charging me a subscription fee and I still hear adverts almost every single time. Apple won’t fix it.
B.dS7 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/03/24
Very new listener to this podcast. None of the stories are new to me (yet), but I always enjoy a different take of a story because of the differing backgrounds of hosts. I agree with the most of the hosts assertions regarding the criminal justice system and reform. The only thing that has driven...Read full review »
smars137 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/01/24
The hosts pick such unique and fascinating cases. I love learning about all of the different theories. I also love that the hosts are so respectful of the victims and survivors and their families. Great job ladies!
K to the OB via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 12/30/23
Great podcast. Really well researched and told.
Mirrebeer via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 12/28/23
Meghan and Amy put an academic lens on an almost commercial podcast subject. These cases are of real people and real families are grieving over the loss of their loved ones. The hosts do an amazing job of drawing compassionate storytelling while adding data-driven and academic insights to each...Read full review »

The works needs many many more people like you two! Teachers. Wickedly intelligent and not afraid of their well-informed opinions. 💜💚🔥 GREAT show. Kellye R. CenLAw Podcast
Kellyeeeee via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/10/23
I was a little frustrated at first because sometimes I felt that they went too far in trying to appear ‘balanced’. The more I deep-dived into their shows, I found that 99% of the time, they do an amazing job portraying all angles. Highly recommend!
SMileyWV via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/07/23
As a person who, like the hosts, was interested in true crime before it was popular (yes, as a child I secretly watched every episode of forensic files when my parents were out!!) and has a sociology background, I find this podcast fascinating. I enjoy that it is theories and talks of system...Read full review »

True crime and women in history has been my passion for quite some time. When I found this podcast, it met both of those loves!! ♥️ Love these two’s dynamics and candor with one another. So informative! Thanks ladies for this podcast!
Amber Morin via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/02/23
As someone who has been secretly reading her mom’s true crime books since age 12, I love this podcast. I recently became a Patron to access more content because this has become the only true crime podcast I listen to anymore. True crime is often so sensationalized in media nowadays so it is so...Read full review »

If I could give this podcast a 10 I would! As a criminal justice student, it’s amazing to see the cases they bring to light and the different theories they cover each case. Meghan and Amy’s theories and professional opinions are always spot on while still remaining unbiased to the victims and...Read full review »

One of my new favorites to listen to!
Mrsmanderson via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/10/23
Consuming true crime can be difficult for people like me, who find the topic itself often immoral. It is difficult to find a true crime podcast which handles cases with the required sensitivity and care. However, Women and Crime is quite honestly the only true crime podcast I have felt 100%...Read full review »
EmiliaAliceN via Apple Podcasts · Finland · 10/05/23
Many of these crime podcasts either (a) put me to sleep due to the monotone narrators’ voices or (b) annoy me because of some of the dumb questions asked by the person who narrates less. Women and Crime provides a plethora of great short stories but also, both women are educated and provide...Read full review »

I’ve only just started listening to this podcast, after it was recommended by the Love Murder podcast, but I can’t stop listening! Although I may have already known a few of the cases, they put a different spin on it with their knowledge of the CJS. So insightful.
Clareabel43 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 09/26/23
I love listening to these intelligent and insightful women! I have learned a ton mixed in with all the true crime stories they tell. Keep teaching and adding education to your episodes! Much love for you guys from TN ❤️
mrsimms13 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/24/23
The latest episode (on Naomi Wood/Lakeland Girls Academy) was ultimately just parroting an article. It was pretty clear very little effort was put into the research because the episode was littered with inaccuracies, including repeatedly calling the victim the wrong name (they also called the...Read full review »
