Ignore the haters

God honestly these people saying it’s too political are insane. There’s NOTHING wrong with holding poor police work accountable. It’s so insufferable that some people refuse to stand up to police corruption. Ash and Brit call it out while also applauding the police work that is done well in other cases. That’s how it should be. I’ve been listening for years and every few months some MAGA influencer always goes after this show and then they get a ton of negative reviews from people who have never listened to a single episode.

Free Listening

I am so happy that CJ has all free episodes on podcast streaming services. So many pods are making their episodes subscriber only. I appreciate that CJ produces free episodes (w/ ads) and also a platform to financially support them and listen to exclusive episodes.

It’s fine

Not the greatest true crime podcast, but I like it.

No more politics!

Omg I’m so tired of hearing crime podcasters insert their political views. No one cares! NO. ONE. CARES. For everyone’s sanity just don’t even mention it. Do everyone a solid and stick to the facts and stay in your lane. Please and thanks 🙄

Longtime Listener Disappointed by the Decline

I've been listening to Crime Junkie since 2018. I’ve bought Ashley Flowers’ books, attended a live show, and supported the podcast for years. But lately, something has changed… and not for the better. The episodes feel rushed, repetitive, and increasingly commercialized. It’s starting to feel more like a cash grab than the passion-driven storytelling that drew me in years ago. There used to be a spark. A real connection and care in the way stories were told. That’s missing now. But instead, it feels like the focus is on pushing merch, sponsors, and paid content. As a loyal fan, it’s honestly disappointing to see what this show has become. I’m giving this one star not out of malice, but out of deep disappointment. I hope they can find their way back to what made the podcast great in the first place.

Still the best true crime podcast !

I was surprised to read that “ this show has changed “ or “ isn’t good anymore “ I can’t understand how deep people dig for traces of something offensive. The only thing I’ve noticed is the hosts are more confident which I love . Two intelligent women. Keep on doing what you do.

Crime addicte

I watch a lot of crime shows and wanted something to listen to while driving and started listening to you guys and now I’m hooked

Classic, original true crime!

I have listened to Crime Junkie for a while and just picked and choose which ones to listen to. Recently decided to go back to the beginning and listen to all of them and it’s just so good. Quick and easy stories about crimes I’ve heard about and ones I never have. Unfortunately they haven’t run out of content but still a great distraction!
Random_person562

Amazing!

I’ve been listening to crime junkies for a while now! It’s such an amazing podcast with detailed (but not too detailed) information. It is also well put together and you can tell that they studied it!

The Peggy Hettrick murder

I cannot believe the things I’m learning from this podcast. Talk about corruption. This murder was awful enough on its own. The corruption that surrounds it is mind blowing.
sophiiiiie150980

Brandi Churchwell?

I’ve always loved this podcast with Ashley and Brit. They advocate for victims and their families. So i’m very confused that they partnered with Brandi Churchwell to cover the Karen Read trial. I know this is a polarizing case and everyone is entitled to their opinion. But partnering with someone close to turtleboy who is accused of witness intimidation and who has harassed the O’keefe family on their way to court? Brandi Churchwell has been vile to the prosecutor or even the judge for the sole reason that they are doing their job. She does not match the professionalism and respect that are values all the other audiochuck hosts display.

My review on crime junkie

How is this show number 1?

I have no idea how this show has such high ratings when it’s literally the dumbest true crime podcast there is. These two make me want to jab pencils into my ear drums.
Ooma753

Great but…

Great podcast. I’ve been a listener from the beginning. But either curse and remove the bleeps or stop cursing. The evolution of your comfort with cursing feels contrived. Overall, good narration.
💟🪻💜

ignore the haters, this podcast is great!!

i’ve seen a LOT of reviews saying how this show “used to be good” and now it’s “too liberal” and “too woke”, but not a single one of those negative reviews EVER seem to take into consideration that, just like they’re stating their opinion, maybe the hosts have the same right to do the same thing. aside from all that, this show is genuinely good!!! my mom showed it to me around 2020, and i got obsessed! since then, i’ve explored the Audiochuck podcasts, and all i have to say is that this company is amazing. love this show, keep going!! (PS - Brit, you’re not ruining the show, people saying that are just mean, don’t pay attention to what they say!)
LVTmandy

No politics wanted

Agreed with too much politics. We listen to this because we want to hear about the cases, not political talk. We’d listen to the news if we wanted politics. Otherwise, I enjoy it
MrsDinwiddie

Love love love

Crime junkie is the only reason the podcast app is on my phone! Obsessed
Menopausal_rager

Keep it up

I’ve been listening for years and enjoy Ashley and Britt together. Well researched, always victim focused and respectful. They go the extra mile to get the whole story and try to help find closure in cases that still aren’t solved.

Like it but sometimes they can talk too much and laugh about people getting killed.

STOP WITH THE POLITICAL COMMENTS

Honestly I’ve listened to this podcast SINCE THE BEGINNING and today I was catching up (because I’m a working MOM) and to hear you say WHO CARES about changing the name for Mother’s Day is wild, keep your left wing comments to yourself and tell the story. I’m done.
kbrown12234566899

Used to be so good!-murder with my husband is way better

Used to love this podcast then it just became all about the hosts and not the victims. They interject their own views and make it political instead of focusing on the persons story. How disrespectful!!!! MWMH is SO much better they actually care about the victims and tell the story instead of their own views
SouthFlorida1971

We get it you very liberal

I enjoy the show. But please stop shoving your political beliefs down our throats. I don’t wasn’t to hear either side…right or left. If politics directly pertain to a case then great. But we’re listening for an informed discussion about a case. Which you do well! No one really needs to hear your views on the current or past administration.
Xacdufnwifbs

Compelling and thoughtful storytelling!

Crime Junkie is a great podcast! Ashley and Brit tell stories in an intriguing way, but always rooted in compassion for the people. I also love that AudioChuck does so much good with Season of Justice, specific charities related to cases, pruppets, etc.
mdecker8

Woke much?

Used to love this podcast and couldn’t wait for the next drop. Every story is now so overly woke in every facet. Reel it back. I barely listen to it anymore unfortunately.
rooni😛

i love crime junkie!!!

crime junkie is my absolute favorite! when my mom showed it to me i was SUCKED IN!
Beetle🤩

😘

Yall are great and it’s honestly so sad when I see people say that Britt or Ashly should not be on the show, love you guys so much I hope yall stay safe
hrfjwlenrnwkf

Love the content

The content of the podcast, hate how they try and guilt us by saying we owe it to someone to take an action after listening to the episode
FlatMongoose3365

ITS AWESOME

I love this podcast because they always make it feel like your in the conversation and a part of the investigation
Kewlkw

Five star

Great show great presentation
Cole@andrus

Umm

Used to be good but by this point my eyes will get stuck mid-roll from all the times they say the word like and the comments on everything. Dial it back and wayy left-leaning too. Edit: Its not ashley, its brit. Brit you are ruining this podcast!
ollilykoe

Strange host reactions

I am not sure why the second host is always laughing and giggling, especially during Lacy Peterson episodes. It is a constant giggle to some quite somber comments of the first host- I am not sure whether it is nervous reaction or there is something that funny about details of the case. Made me feel very strange.
Harlemvalleywingdale

The industry standard for research and resources

Ashley and Brit are: giving us compelling narratives, sending reporters to interview people about the stories that they cover; and funding testing in cases that cross their paths. Literally no one else is doing all three of these things. Have whatever issue you have, but Ashley and Brit are walking the walk. Proud to listen and support.
Stranger2415

Love you guys

I love the podcasts on crime junkie I like to listen to them on long rode trips it’s very addicting to know more love you guys
DreamOfSleep

❤️❤️❤️

I've been a true crime junkie forever, just didn't realize there was a term until I discovered your podcast. I love everything about your podcast! First, I love that you are besties and present each episode as the two of you are just chatting over coffee. I love how passionate you both are about getting these stories out to the world for justice, for some resolution and answers for the families affected. And lastly I enjoy the pruppets stories, having two myself, those stories always touch my heart. 🩷 Thank you for all you do and please don't stop! 🙏

Not a fan

When I finished my original true crime podcast, a friend recommended Crime Junkie. Of course I’ve heard of it-very popular to listen to-so I gave it a try. Unfortunately, I could not make it past the first episode. Usually I am more open minded, but the information did not seem first hand and to me the show was very gossip-like. Neither of the hosts seem to have any real experience in crimes like these, so I tuned out.
Sooo wonderful. It’s amazing

🥳 I can’t wait for every episode!!!!!

I absolutely love this podcast. It is a great podcast, Brit I love the commentary and how you and Ashly work together. It makes the podcast 10 times better!!!!! I constantly check to see if there is new episodes!
babymoon

It’s a problem, in a good way

Totally addicted to their amazing team work and the dignity they give the victims. I love how it doesn’t matter what gender, ethnicity or economic status, they believe everyone deserves justice.
I❤️BENOFTHEWEEK

Love the podcast

Honestly, I like to take survival tips from the survivors from hearing their story. You guys should write about Elizabeth Fritzl
mandy1234543

Best crime podcast ever!

I have been searching for so long for something to help me sleep with a great story. I finally found it! There are countless episodes and perfect vocals. Love you guys!!
Texas sets example

Woke

They were so good in the beginning but now everything is just woke woke woke. Do not waste your time. Tons of other podcast out there.
Bren62271

Like, no more!

I’m no longer going to ignore the number of times “like” is used unnecessarily. That bad habit is the new fingernails on a chalkboard. I’m tuning out; not even going to give the show a chance.

I love the crime junkies podcasts and I love Ashley and Brit you guys are amazing 🤩

Too liberal

I’ve listened to this podcast since 2018 and I’ve LOVED it. I’ve always recommended it when people ask for true crime podcasts. But lately it’s soooo hard to listen to. Super liberal, super woke. I can’t listen to it anymore. Literally roll my eyes at so much from this podcast. Maybe lighten up on the liberal/woke views?
SSFHL💖💖

So good

I was looking through the reviews and saw a surprising number of negative ones. I personally love the background music, it adds such a sense of suspense and mystery but I don’t think it would hurt to turn it down a few notches. Brit, stop with the obvious questions. I love you both but I quite frankly don’t see why Brit is even there, she adds nothing. I think she should speak more or leave, but asking obvious questions that everyone thought of 3 minutes ago isn’t helping anything. Let her tell part of the story or kick her. Ashley, you talk just fine. I listen at 2x speed but if you talk too fast for some people, they can slow it down. I love you ladies and this podcast got me into true crime. Stay at it!
K_weathers

Just great!

I absolutely love this podcast!! Even though it does get a little political at times I don’t think it’s anything controversial, Ashley and Brit do just an exceptional job! One thing to change, is they refer to some minors who are involved in sex work as sex workers. This is inaccurate. Any minor in sex work is being trafficked and should be referred to as such. But otherwise, just a stellar podcast!

Modern Agathas

I’m trying to solve mysteries along with the hosts at every twist and turn, as I am brought along as listening sleuth. I am always expecting the unexpected, just like an Agatha Christie mystery, except these are real stories. I’m hooked. A voice is given to those who have sadly departed. Well done. I’m sure Miss Agatha would approve.
