What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I have fallen in love with Dr. Amy and Dr. Megan. They are so thoughtful in their storytelling choices. I think there are a lot of great True Crime podcasters who highlight the victims and survivors rather than the killers but no one does it as well as Campus Killings. Keep up the great work!

Molly Amelia W. · Sep 2026

Love hearing Megan and Amy’s take on these cases. I always learn something new on both this show and W&C. The only hard part is waiting 2 weeks between episodes.

CSK1111 · Mar 2026

I subscribe to an exorbitant amount of podcasts and I found this one after subscribing to Women and Crime on Patreon. I have learned so much from Amy and Meghan and always appreciate the love, humanity, and knowledge they bring to each episode. IMO they aren’t trying to be “preachy.” Meghan and Amy take the time to educate and help pose the questions we should be asking. What is justice? Are we approaching crime and punishment in the most informed and fair way possible? How can we make things better? I have looked at so many scenarios, as well as my own preconceived ideas and behaviors differently thanks to Amy and Meghan - and bonus- they are funny too! I’m very happy to have found this podcast.

Allijane · Jan 2026

These ladies are wicked smart and their delivery is one focused more on informing and teaching. In taking this approach their story telling is incredibly compelling yet maintains sensitivity that these stories of murder and tragedy aren’t simply entertainment for consumption. You should listen.

Danny Deck · Oct 2025

Seems like it is getting worse. I used to be a paying listener, but the editing is so bad I couldn’t justify that anymore. Since then, it seems to have only gotten worse. It is constantly repeating, or pausing, or a million things without editing. I enjoy their storytelling but they really need to hire an editor (or a better one).
