Once Upon A Crime - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I love this podcast and I adore Esther (even if she’s only a voice through my phone). She puts a lot of work & research in for these episodes and it shows. I appreciate her thoroughness, a lot of podcasts only regurgitate easily found news articles. Her background in counseling/psychology is a huge bonus as it allows her to provide added insight. About some of the neg. reviews…. you can tell she’s reading from a script, duh… 99% of podcasts are scripted. Give this podcast a listen, I think you’ll find the quality of content more than makes up for the lack of inflection in her speech.

I just added this podcast to the handful of true crime ones I follow. The host has a fantastic voice and I love her storytelling format. Her background in Psychology adds some much needed educated analysis (vs baseless speculation and tangents) to the true crime canon. We often hear the “WHAT” but are left wondering “WHY?” There’s never an excuse but contributing factors are important for education and hopefully, prevention of crime.

I’ve been listing to this podcast for years and it’s a great true crime podcast. Ester has a straightforward approach and just keeps you interested. Her research is meticulous, and the storytelling is impeccable.

No banter, no unbiased opinions. Just the true crimes cases told from beginning to end. Lot’s of great information and facts I haven’t heard in other true crime podcasts.
