Love the show! Not only the fact that they seem to care and often dig more deeply than law enforcement, but also that they interview families.
Could also listen forever because both hosts have such soothing voices.
Thanks Crimes Junkies! I’ll be here waiting for the next episode!

I honestly look forward to hearing this podcast. I’ve been a listener since the beginning of time and I love it. I just love how enthusiastic they are and it’s always captivating never boring so yeah, this is my one go to true crime podcast that I always listen to.

I had been looking for something to listen to while working for a while and I stumbled upon Crime Junkie and I instantly fell in love! Its great storytelling, and they explain the cases so well! Definitely my favorite podcast! Thank you Ashley and Britt! I see people saying that they don’t site people, but they have their sources listed on their website, and some cases that are really popular get lots of coverage, but there’s multiple episodes that this podcast covered before the public even knew about them. This podcast is awesome, and it definitely helps lots of cases.
Poke-I82 · Sep 2026
I have never decided to quit a podcast so quickly, especially one I liked for awhile. Your coverage of Mica Miller was one of the most offensive episodes of any podcast I have listened to, ever. You both sounded like two immature middle school girls at a sleepover who couldn’t stop saying the word “like.” You came across as self-obsessed and Mica was an afterthought, because, evidently, the whole episode needed to be about you guys. Why, why, why, did you insist on laughing and giggling throughout? What was that? You were talking about a real person, and while you claim to be all about the victims, this couldn’t have been less about Mica. I hope her family didn’t and doesn’t listen to this, because it was absolute trash regarding the loss of someone’s loved one. The next time you feel like “spiraling?” Don’t. Wait a hot minute and do a regular, scripted episode, because you both have proven that’s all you can do.
Rijms · Sep 2026
I used to like the show before I began listening to other podcasts that actually research well. Now it feels like the podcast equivalent of a gossip rag. The idea of being excited to discuss a crime that devastated a person and family is awful. The scripting is painfully obvious, reactions are inauthentic, and at this point they’re releasing reruns of their old, even worse episodes. Which is…disappointing. This is the podcast I listen to when I’ve listened to literally everything else. Also there are so many ad breaks there’s basically no podcast. Any episode stating it’s an hour long is false advertising because 30 minutes of that will be ads.
Other people they work with do a good job of actual research and respectful reporting, but this is the bottom of the barrel.
