Women and Crime - Podcast Rankings and reviews

This is different from the majority of true crime podcasts in that the hosts are highly qualified to discuss the cases - they both have masters and doctorates in relevant fields - and it shows. The episodes are interesting, discussed in a respectful way and offer insights from the criminological perspective. Drs Sacks & Shlosberg consider the criminal justice system as a whole and help the listener consider where it gets it right and where change is needed. This especially feels invaluable. They have a great dynamic and I like their narrative style. This is my new favorite podcast and I wish all true crime podcasts had such well spoken, intelligent hosts.

Easily one of my favorite true crime podcasts. Amy and Megan are so thorough, knowledgeable and always well researched. I appreciate their opinions and love listening to them explain and apply different theories. As someone who doesn’t work in the criminal justice field, they do an excellent job of making sure to explain everything in a way that flows and is easy to understand.

Megan and Amy do a wonderful job sharing the details of cases while respecting all victims and their families. They analyze the crime and discuss the justice system. This review is LONG overdue, as they have been my favorite true crime podcast for years now. I was thankful enough that I found their Campus Killings podcast, which they don’t advertise about enough!!! I need alllll the Megan and Amy break downs! Love the work they do.

I just stumbled on this podcast and was instantly hooked! The hosts are super knowledgeable and bring a credible, professional take on the crimes they cover. By covering female criminals they open up a whole new way of perceiving and discussing crime. I can’t get enough of this podcast and was elated to find it’s still in production.

I love this podcast and hosts. But the Shannan Gilbert episode has a really distressing mention of animal abuse at the end. PLEASE give trigger warnings for that. And before anyone jumps on their high horse about people who get “mOrE uPsEt aBoUt aNiMaLs,” some of us have experienced genuinely traumatic events involving animals.
