I wanted to wait until i had gotten through all of the episodes before I wrote a review. Here I am 6 months later and I have FINALLY listened to them all and is now caught up. Ashley and Britt, you both do amazing. I love the in-depth covering of the stories and it’s never lost on me that these are real people who have fallen victim to someone else. I also love the work you all do in the community. 4 stars because the script comes off a little rehearsed at times but overall good. I’m glad Britt is back. Also, I miss the prupet of the month segment.
Edit: Since being caught up on this podcast, I’ve been listening to other true crime podcasts. I still feel this podcast is worth the listen and overall really good, but scripting has become worse.
Really? The filthy language? I like crime stories, but I cannot listen to this in my home when my children can hear it. I will have to find another place to find crime podcast.
I love this podcast bc I love the care you take in addressing each and every detail! Also GOOD JOB you r in the top three for crime podcasts!And Idk why people keep saying Brit is annoying bc she is just curious! I think that you should be the police/Detective in these cases bc you r good at spotting the truth and tiny things lol Keep going with this amazing Podcast! One more thing even tho Brit can be annoying she probably has to say those things bc it’s in the script!!! Ps If you r like me and love!space to I 100% recommend Space nuts!!!
Are you guys sponsored by a rock company!? Or really into igneous rocks? Because Ashley keeps saying granite, Instead of granted. Also Britney is really annoying, states the obvious and always interrupts the flow of the conversation by interjecting herself with some stupid comment. Other than that the story’s are great and in depth.
The cases they pick are the most interesting part of this podcast. These two are about promoting themselves not informing their listeners. I am not a fan.
I started listening to this podcast a few years ago and never thought I would truly be addicted!! I love listening to them while I do house work, on my commute to work. Ash & Brit get down to business on every case.
Ashley is great. Brit ruins it. She really adds nothing, she sounds very scripted and is very annoying to listen to. It’s odd that so many people have voiced this same opinion but she continues to be on the podcast. I listen but as a last resort if I’ve exhausted other options.
This was the 1st podcast I ever listened to, it was my favorite. Unfortunately, it turned into a bunch of rambling making it hard to follow the story. The useless questions from Britt does not help but often makes your eyes roll.
I understand the importance of doing unsolved cases, but it’s not necessary to introduce 200 suspects that leads to absolutely nowhere.
The stories used to be told with precision, now it’s mindless rambling. This has caused me to branch off and find other true crime shows that actually transport you into the story.
Minor changes would make a huge impact
I love this podcast so much. I listen to it all the time when im feeling down and it puts me in a better mood. My favorite day of the week is Monday just because there is a new episode.
Love this show. However I am frustrated with the co host and the annoying self righteous sounding attitude. It doesn’t seem intentional but there has got to be a better way to have dialogue especially with such a well put together show. So much research and information will be than contrasted with a strange ‘duh’ like demeaning response. Maybe if there was set questions that were more thought provoking? In a sort of debate manor maybe. Idk theres gotta be some brainstorming to get the rating up to a 5.
I listen to this podcast when I have time or if I’m in the car/cleaning/extra time before bed. It’s so addictive that my fiancé and kids always ask to listen to it. Every Monday for the new episodes, my kids ask to wait for them to listen to the new episode!
Thank you for everything you guys do. I love this show and how you guys make the stories so suspenseful. I love listening to you guys on my hour commute to and from work.
Ashley & Brit get right down to business, thoroughly covering a case. I very much appreciate their no nonsense professional approach - staying away from rumors and doing right by the victims & their families.
the questions asked sounded staged or too theatrical n scripted. the answers TO the questions asked were constantly vague, saying “i don’t know” & then keeps building off from there. i listened to 1 episode only & didn’t really feel interested or engaged.
I love it!! But I don’t like the ones as much where they do missing ones because I like to find out what happens. But other than those episodes I love it so much!
I used to really like this podcast. Ashley is amazing but Brit dumbs it down so much I usually end up yelling for her to shut up and can’t finish listening. If you want a good podcast listen to The Deck. You get Ashley and no Brit.
I was hooked after the 2nd and 3rd Episodes on Laci Petersaon. What really drew me too them was not only their active involvement to help solve crime and get justice for families, but how they call the media out for their bias and clouding of facts and crucifying of thise Innocent until proven guilty. We ALL have things in our lives that, if examined by the public, could look suspisious. They strive to present FACTS and then comment on those FACTS as everyday people. they allow me to form my own opinion without trying to lead me. I dont always agree, and my life expreience leads me to a different conclusion sometimes, but that is what makes this show so great!
Thank you for MANY enjoiable hours. From one Hoosier to another, Thank you!
I love listening to you BOTH. I wish people weren’t so rude in their reviews about Brit. She’s a great part of the show, it wouldn’t be the same without her and I just hope that she doesn’t read these comments and take them personally. Do people not understand the damage they can do to other people by their words? Just don’t say anything if what you’re going to say is so freaking rude towards someone. Leave it alone, jeez. Anyways my dog (Ernie) and I listen to this show a lot and he loves to howl along to Chuck’s howl at the end.
Thank you for covering Kendrick Johnson case! I live in the south and believe you should investigate Destiny Washington, and Raven White. They were both also killed very young before their time. Thank you for the podcast bringing awareness to people’s stories and I hope they get their shared as well! CCHS for life.
I don’t listen to any podcasts but somehow I came across Crime Junkie and ever since I’m absolutely hooked! I love the format of how Ashley tells the story and Britany is sort of like the listeners voice. It’s like your friend telling you unbelievable stories. I also like how they pick stories which don’t get much attention so you get to hear about cases which have been neglected and they bring light to them. Ashley really does in-depth research and sets the scene very well. She also adds in small details of the case which is always good when trying to join pieces of the puzzle. If you like true crime, this is the best podcast out there for it!
I really haven’t started listening to true crime till Brit and Ash. Something about they way they tell it is so hypnotic! Love love love Crime Junkies!🤍
This podcast is absolutely amazing. it’s so entertaining and i’m totally hooked!
i wanted to recommend an episode (or 5) about the chad daybell and lori vallow! it’s super crazy and confusing, it would make for a very interesting episode.
thank you guys for being awesome!! 💕
Britt’s questions ruin the episodes for me. Some of them seem silly. Like if we knew the answer to half her questions there wouldn’t be a case to solve. I wish she had more valuable input because I do enjoy hearing Britt and Ashley interact.
I lost my mom very suddenly 2 weeks ago, her birthday is also in 2 weeks, I’ve been feeling so lost without her, and listening to you guys makes the sadness and lost feeling in my heart go away even if just for a little bit. I’ve been listening to you since you first started and think you guys are amazing. Truly thank you so much for all you do!
i love this podcast so much. ashley and brit's voices always comfort me and they have taught me so much about extremely important cases and how to keep myself and others safe :) keep up the great work <3
p.s. billy mays is our lord and savior:D
I used to be a listener but after seeing Ashley post on standing with Israel though a genocide it’s hard to stomach people like this talking about true crime. Also, learned in a search after they are notorious for plagiarism. Given their moral stance I am not in the least surprised.
Please tell or ask Britt to stop talking so much. Says the same things over and over… She is the worst. Captain obvious, once in a while she asks a good question but most of the time she does not. Stick with reading letters or phone logs. (months later) nothing has changed Britt still asks or says something every like 30 seconds
Crime junkie is informational and interesting I don’t get how many people dislike this I love the end and they bring out all the facts they can access. It may be because crime junkie is my first interesting podcast so of course I like it more than others but is it really that bad I mean I understand people have there own opinions but I have to disagree with the others.
So im a child so I dont really listen to crime podcasts but my mom does and every time we go on vacation she puts it on the radio. At fist I would just sleep through it but then I started listening and I was so intrigued and now I love it its so interesting.
I have no idea how this podcast has existed for years, but I never knew about it! The good news is, I have over 300 episodes to listen to. :)
I love that the facts and theories are both presented, and the flow is great. Plus, people that love true crime AND dogs are my people (humane society worker here). Thanks for doing such a great job!
