I love true crime and used to love this show, but they are continually interjecting their opinions. I’m not here to hear their liberal commentary. I’m here to listen to a true crime account. And fyi I’m not maga. I just don’t need politics in every area of my life.

do anybody actually listen to podcasts?😂😂this ones actually good tho the only one not boring cuz its kinda intresting but why not listen to music?

Long time listener. No longer interested.

Whenever your bored and want to enjoy some entertaining crime action I totally recommend listening to this podcast. This podcast is so engaging and entertaining besides the ads this is my favorite podcast out there

Great podcast but they often get on soapboxes about people living on the fringes of society and how they deserved better. Valid point but these rants regularly take away from the story. Enough said, they are a human beings, they didn’t deserve to be murdered.

After the episode that was just an ad for the book…I’m out. I already was only listening to this whenever I was done with all my other podcasts. I have many other issues, but I will be kind and leave it at that. I do hope the hosts do great and thrive in all they do, it’s just not for me, and that’s okay.

These women do a great job of telling the stories of the cases and researching. Recent episodes have become way too political. It’s their podcast where they can share their opinion. I am just disappointed as I used to really enjoy it because of the neutrality which no longer exists.

I love crime junkie and it makes me interested if I’m bored.every time i put on one that we already heard.We have listened to so much that every time I am looking for a podcast I scroll past at least twenty to get to a new one.All the bad reviews make me angry!I love it so much.That is why I wrote this review today.

TDLR: They are some of the best story tellers I have ever heard; full stop. My Heros may not be who you expect; Scott Galloway, Dave Chappell, Matt & Trey from South Park, and Ezra Kline. Brit and Ashley are extremely entertaining and reverent. They have CEO-level emotional intelligence, which they wield to story tell some of the most heavy material on the planet to benefit as many people as possible; including victims and their families. Long: I started watching Crime Junkie about three years ago, and back then I don’t know what the size of the production was but many of audiobooks current shows have not yet been released. I fell in love with these girls instantly, even when they were roughing it back then not just because they sound very pretty (you girls are!) - but because their emotional intelligence and story telling abilities are unmatched. Yes Ashley leads the story, but don’t think Brit is not an important part of the production. Their ability to riff will have you wondering whether the show is scripted; likely thought out to the bone but these girls are clever and whip smart. Yes those are similes, I just felt I had to say that twice.

This show is not that good. Don’t understand why so many people like it because it is average, at best….

I always listen to this podcast before bed keep it up but I also have an idea for a episode. The persons name is Will Holmes who died on November 22 2021 he went to my school I want to know and others to know too!

Ever since I was a teenager, I’ve found difficulty with a specific bedtime. I just couldn’t relax enough to fall asleep. 3 years ago, I stumbled across “Crime Junkies” and my bedtime experience changed for the better. I think it’s the melodic rhythm of the ladies voices that draws me into focused listening

I have been a long time fan and listener. 5 years+. I work in the podcasting industry behind the scenes and have given praise to this network. The promotion of the book portrayed as a real story and publicized as one within the show? Very poor taste and bad judgment call. I know you guys can do better than that. Get back to what you guys do best.

Soooooo good!!! to the haters: if you dont like crime junkie, then why do you listen? Anyway, Great podcast

I’ve been listening to crime junkie for five years now. I appreciate the growth in how they present (especially dialect). I love Brit ! And I’m annoyed by all these negative reviews towards her. Best quality is how they use their platform to bring awareness.

This podcast has gone down hill so far. They use to report facts now it is so opinion based it’s hard to even listen to anymore. Seems like they create a narrative and run with it. Go back to reporting facts

This review is in response to everyone that says less Brit and for those who say they only blame police. Eff you. You don’t like the show, don’t listen. The shows where there were no Brit, I cried, and my first real full body chills was when she came back. As for the police, they give full props to the police who make good choices, and only blame the police who literally do dumb things, and it seems like a lot bc they do a lot of unsolved, and often the reason they’re unsolved is bc of the police’s dumb decisions in that case. I love the show, I love the format, no one’s perfect, and I’ve listened to every episode twice, since I’ve become an official crime junkie fan club member, and I’ve finally given in to admitting being a crime junkie.

If you’re MAGA this podcast will trigger you. Go back to Joe Rogan and your echo chamber. If you’re not maga this is a solid podcast for true crime to go on walks with.

Love the show but so sick of the political talk. Just tell the stories!!

10 out of 10!!

Disrespectful the way they get excited about a ‘story’. This is someone’s loved one. Ick.

Just finished the last episode and appreciate the warning to everyone that Robert Davis now resides in Iowa. Immediately forwarded to all my friends with a PSA. Been a longtime listener! Thanks for the facts and care you take in telling these stories! They help us all stay vigilant and aware.

I enjoy the show and have listened to almost every episode. I do agree that presenting the plot of Ashley’s new book as an actual case was done in poor taste. Disagree with everyone who is leaving a review about the show being “too political.” It’s their show? They can make it as political as they want it to be, and if you do not believe that politics influences the outcome of many of these cases, then you are not paying attention.

I listen while walking. Looking forward to your episode on the Austin Metcalf murder.

How predictable.. another episode where law enforcement is blamed once again.

I’ve listened for years but finally had to unfollow. I hate to be mean and I try to not leave negative reviews anywhere but I cannot stand Brit. Ashley is great but it’s to the point where I can’t listen anymore. If Ashley ever goes solo, I’ll be back in a heartbeat. I know I’m not the only one who feels like this 😭 I saw them live and it was great, but would have been much better if it was just Ashley.

I am literally obsessed with all things true crime, so when I happened to stumble upon this gem I was hoooked. I listen to crime junkie while i’m driving, cooking, showing, working out etc. I cannot get enough. The way Ashley and Brit narrate pulls you in even more.

I’ve been listening to Crime Junkie since it started. My whole family is hooked.

I tried listening to this again but I just can’t do Brit and wonder why she’s a part of the show. Her ‘contributions’ are annoying and seem to be always in a question form when they aren’t actually questions. I tried. 🤷‍♀️

Britt makes me never want to listen ever

It is so obvious the Brit reads off of a script- completely useless feedback and asks the worst questions. Ashley pleaseeee less Brit on the podcast

Used to listen to them all the time, but became way too woke and brought their political views into the show making it unlistenable

I have listened to EVERY SINGLE EPISODE of Crime Junkie, I loved it, but the most recent episode from 5/6/25 promoting Ashley’s book as a real case is absolutely disgusting to me. Please take this episode down - it’s so disrespectful and in bad taste. I can’t believe anyone thought this was a good idea.

I love crime junkie everything about murder interests me but can you do more about serial killers but with amber haggerman wouldn't the guy had to be strong and fast to pick up a nine year old girl and also to get to the creek they would have been well known to be there

Lol. Almost all the poor reviews are from conservatives that feel attacked when faced with the truth. They would rather live in their land of delusional where everything is perfect and systems of power should never be questioned.

Just got my cdl and started driving semis delivering grocery’s to a well known grocery store! Even though thankfully I am home every night we still work long days and a lot of hours! Y’all have helped keep me company and keep me alert while I’m out there working! Wish I could’ve gotten tickets to come see yall live but I was unable to get the time off from work! Thank you guys for all yall do!

Long time listener here and I love you both dearly - Brit please stop interrupting/talking over/finishing someone else’s sentences. It’s something that’s bothered me for a while but it’s so bad on Fallon Farinacci’s episode.

Great episode thank you 😊

I use to listen to this show a ton years ago and was part of their patreon for a bit but they got too political so I took a break. I attempted to listen to their show again recently and it was so painful! They are trying way too hard!! So many other podcasts out there that are WAY better I avoid all audiochuck productions now

Great podcast

Bringing you idiotic political views! Done listening murder in America is way better!

UPDATE // Framing a plug for her book as an episode was tacky, tacky, tacky. I listen less and less. I’ve really enjoyed CJ since I started listening a few years go, and I’ve worked my way through the whole back catalog. I look forward to the new episode every Monday, but have to say that for the last few months, I’ve found the episodes so boring that I’ve been skipping them after listening to around 20m. I’m just one listener, and this is just my two cents, but figured I’d put it out there in case it makes a difference.

I have always loved this podcast but on the episode this week they did 5 min precursor to a book to buy? I thought you did this podcast for the good of the cases not to make money from people’s deaths. Stop trying to play the hero card that your helping families

had been a long time listener, often left with a bad taste in my mouth re: fake wokeness and their non stop talking about how great they are… but now unfollowing after a book plug about a fake missing woman. disgusting for those with missing family members. gross y’all

My sister first showed me crime junkie on a road trip home from dropping off my grandparents in 2018. I've been hooked ever since. Thank you for bringing light to so many peoples stories and always helping where ever you can. It's always season of justice.

I’m a big fan of the show and a fellow Hoosier! I love that you use your platform to speak on cases that don’t always get the attention they deserve. Also true crime is political so keep speaking on your political views!! If I had one critique, it would be that I wish you had a version of the podcast without the background music, it can be too calming for me, and sometimes I will tune out and lose track of the story. I would love a music free version to listen to!! Keep up the great podcasting!!

The episode Britt hosted with survivor Fallon was so well done!

You guys are my daily listen! And have made me so alert on my surroundings. Thank you for all the hard work you put in and telling each persons story!

A podcast supposedly "bringing light to injustice" pretends to tell a story about a crime that's actually the host's fictional novel. It's a true crime podcast. If listeners wanted fiction, they'd listen to the thousands of fiction podcasts available.

love ur podcast girls keep it up
