when crime junkie started it was good. The cases were presented well and they were bringing ACTUAL facts and were also presenting the cases respectfully. Now it’s just lazy, there’s been proof of plagiarism I mean often it seems like all they do is string some articles together and make a script out of it then add their lame dialogue. Also the million ads are ridiculous, why is there an ad every 5 minutes? Ashley is so money and fame hungry. The past 2 or so years i’ve only listened to the old episodes now I wont be listening at all. The exploitation is disgusting do better.

Not sure what Brit adds to the show…Ashley is a great friend, that’s all I’ll say.

Used to be my favorite podcast now I can’t stand it. Could you push the minority issues any harder?

These are the best stories ever in my opinion

I have been an on and off fan since the beginning of Crime Junkie. This show always makes time fly by. I am disappointed in the recent hate they are getting. Being gay and hearing these amazing women tell these stories is eye opening for me and makes me and my husband watch out for our safety even more. These women are inspiring to me. Very well spoken and respectfully and understandably critical. Needless to say I will never stop listening and recommending!!

I like the stories. I subscribe to be entertained. I am not some sort of criminal justice warrior and I don’t want to be. Please stop trying to guilt your listeners into advocacy or assuming everyone listening is on the the same side of social issues that you are. Like please just tell the stories, preferably with less inane commentary from Britt, maybe add a link if someone wants to sign something but don’t push it.

4/23/24 - lost me at “partner” I listened to this podcast when it first came out. I binged the first year to catch up. I was a painter and so it’s what got me through. The last few years however haven’t been to good. It’s seems their target audience is mainly female and it appears they trying to over represent minority groups. Their early episodes are good and they definitely set the standard for true crime podcast. It just no longer within my preference levels. Once in a while there will be something good.

I LOVE YOU GUYS! I just started listening to podcasts and I found crime junkies right away and now its is the only one I want to listen to. I started on episode 1 and I'm about half way through all your episodes currently listening to the update on April Tinsley. Saying that I have a case I want to listen to coming from yall. Other people have covered it but I don't want to listen to theirs I want to listen to it coming from yall so I would So appreciate it if you could cover it one day. It's a case from my home state of Tennessee of a missing girl who has never been found by the name of Summer Wells. SHE NEEDS JUSTICE! And people need to start talking about her again!

FREE THE HOSTAGES ❤️ ISRAEL FOREVER

Update after listening to many more episodes: removed 1 star . The show feels quite scripted, and it feels like Brit is not really given space to speak. She seems more like a prop to Ashley. Ashley seems uninterested in including Brit, who I would like to hear more from. While this is really not a problem, I find it is affecting my enjoyment of the show. Theres is a voice quality/intensity to how Ashley speaks that has become difficult to listen to as well. (Or maybe Im just tired from my day job, which is talking to people all day.) However: obviously, she is a very accomplished and passionate podcaster, and her passion is a plus. The show is superbly researched, and is top-notch. I like how it focuses on getting the information to the audience. …I would like to offer that Brit has a lovely voice, and I wish she were allowed to participate in the podcast in a non-scripted manner. I am finding that I am not listening consistently because the sound of Ashley’s voice is just Too. Much. Emphasis. On. Every. Word. (except for when she interviews people). The relationship between Brit and Ashley (which could be their strongest component) falls short. // Original review: Great show. So well done and so engrossing. I’m hooked! …But please learn the difference between subject and object pronouns! Not: “Him” and “her” went to… Yes: He and she went to…

I used to adore this podcast but lately I end up zoning out half way through the episode. The stories just haven’t been compelling. I’m not sure what the subtle change is but I’ve definitely lost interest…

Of all the True Crime Podcasts I listen to, Crime Junkie doesn’t land in the Top Ten. Still, I will listen when I’ve run out of other options. I actually enjoy other podcasts under the audiochuck umbrella much more.

Pushing the “LGTBQ” agenda has made me unsubscribe from this podcast. Virtue signaling is for the weak.

Hi I'm new to this podcast and I have been bing watching to try and catch up! But I am totally hooked to this podcast!! I love that you guys have been friends for a long time and have this in common!! I have always been into crime and went to school for criminal justice!!! You guys are my favorite and I hope I catch up soon!

I really love this show my friend showed it to me a while ago and I love all the episodes but especially recently there have just been too many adds. For example one I’m listening to right now I’m just over 20 mins in and there’s been almost three whole add breaks of like 2-3 adds each.

They say a story so smooth and so easily connected Even my teenager and bf like to listen

I absouluely adore this show. I’m re-listening to the entire series again for the 3rd time. When I listen to Ashley and Brit I know that not only am I in for an entertaining story, but I’m also getting a full and complete understanding of what happened for each case and most importantly how I can help the families of victims. I abide by Crime Junkie life rules, and I love the free resources like the “if I go missing folder.” This show is so respectful, thoughtful, and insightful. I simply cannot speak highly enough of this fabulous show!

Love love love the podcast. Usually I listen to music to unwind but now I listen to it anytime I get during school in class, anywhere and anytime. I download episodes daily to listen to when there’s no WiFi. Its like free therapy.

I love the show but I feel like Brit deserves more attention I love the stories and I could do anything while listening to this 🥰🥰🥰 It brings sympathy to all the families that have gone through things like this (as no one should) (Btw funny coincidence my name is Ashley 🤗)

This has been my comfort podcast since they started years ago. I love how much these ladies have grown as podcasters and I appreciate how they are respectful of the victims and families as well as getting the listeners involved in helping.

This podcast not only dives into the inter-workings of the crime, but it also covers the legal aspect of the case. I love this!

I can’t believe how many poor ratings I’m reading about this podcast. I love the Ashley and Brit duo. I’ve been listening for a long time and have even gone back and listened to old episodes over again - it’s part of my morning routine to listen to an episode every morning getting ready for work and I enjoy every bit of it! Don’t ever give up Brit!! The deck is also a good one and that one is only Ashley, I bounce back and forth.

I like the cases, I would love it if Brit had more input, if the podcast was not Ashley Flowers, I think she wants to be involved in everything, just me me me…. She’s always saying “I did this, researched I made, I this I that” I know it is her podcast but I feel she is is dismissing the work of the audio chuck employees , I don’t know, I would like this to be more Ashley and Brit than just being 99.3 Ashley and .6 commercials and .1 Brit… I don’t know, Ashley is just to egocentric for my liking. I need a break from the podcast

Avid listener, I truck drive going out weekly, I’m constantly listening to these cause obviously I’m a fan and constantly looking the photos of peoples on the run, idk maybe I’ll see one of in the many places I go to🤷🏻‍♀️ you guys are great though! Thanks for caring for others when others have given up. Every one deserves justice ❤️

I am HOOKED! love it!

how come people are giving bad reviews when the pldcast is mainly great, however if brit could talk more it may be better.

Anyone complaining about an occasional cuss word on the podcast because “they can’t listen to it with their children in the car” should not be listening to a crime podcast with children in the car, period! So instead of shaming the podcasters how about shaming yourself, do better! Anyway on to my review these ladies are amazing at what they do. Great research and love how respectful they are to the family. I look forward to new episodes every week. Keep up the great work ladies!!

Great story teller but stories have more speculation than facts. I would rather hear the facts of what happened in the case versus what you think happened and how things should go.

Great podcast that I used to enjoy a lot until there was sponsorship ads every 5 minutes. No longer worth listening to.

I heard from a friend it was a great podcast. I am glad I listened to them and now I can’t stop. Great to have it on while working! Crime Junkies gets me through my workday!

Ashley and Brit are just doing it right! Every story, every time told to perfection. Don’t ever stop!

I tired over and over, Brit is awful and Ashley isn’t much better on this podcast! I like listening to the Deck though!

Idk my mom likes this podcast sooo ya😂💅🏽

I just love listening to Ashley and Brit on my way to and from work. I have an hour commute so I have plenty of time to listen to at least one full episode. I love their relationship and banter. Ashley is very thorough and I can tell they put a lot of work into each episode. I would love to hear them do an episode on the JonBènèt Ramsey case- only because I want to hear their opinions on what they think happened. (Hopefully without getting sued by The Ramseys). Anyway, Keep up the amazing work, Ladies! PS: I love that you all support BLM and LGBTQA.

It’s so addicting.I love it so much will recommend to everyone

I used to absolutely love this podcast, and had listened to all of the free podcast episodes released up until that point. I stopped listening as I found other podcasts that I enjoyed a lot more, and they had a bunch of episodes to binge listen to from prior postings. Coming back to this podcast again, I find that it just DOESN’T FEEL THE SAME! I was so very disappointed to come back and know that it felt different or couldn’t keep my attention. Ever since Britt returned to the show, I realized that it was so much better without her (and I used to love her!) It’s just that I now notice that after taking a break and coming back (Britt) when she speaks up to make comments or ask questions, they are so shallow. She is always either just repeating the statement back in a question format, or she is interrupting moments of importance for questions/comment that just do not matter. The constant interruptions are what makes it the most challenging to keep focus on the episode/points being made. It just does not feel the same as it used to, and I find myself getting annoyed listening now. It just feels like a little bit of a let down now

I got into podcasts by listening to UAV, mainly because Pain is so good at telling his stories. I was struggling to find another that I loved until I stumbled upon CJ! You ladies are amazing! Great storytelling (can you call it that if it’s fact not fiction🤔), & I LOVE the interaction between you two! Thank you for sharing these episodes & just being amazing!!! 🤩

I’ve been a dedicated listener for years and I’m disappointed to continuously hear adds for McDonald’s on this podcast. You claim to be feminists and the genocide in Palestine is a feminist issue. Please stop sharing their adds on your show. Stand up for Palestine.

I used to love this podcast. Now it just seems so scripted and every since episode they are tearing apart the police. It’s so cringy now. And they are both beyond annoying

We downloaded an episode that looked good but it didn’t start out about crime — it was about politics (and extreme anti police politics at that!). Downloaded and deleted. These are extreme anti-police people.

I wanted to wait until i had gotten through all of the episodes before I wrote a review. Here I am 6 months later and I have FINALLY listened to them all and is now caught up. Ashley and Britt, you both do amazing. I love the in-depth covering of the stories and it’s never lost on me that these are real people who have fallen victim to someone else. I also love the work you all do in the community. 4 stars because the script comes off a little rehearsed at times but overall good. I’m glad Britt is back. Also, I miss the prupet of the month segment. Edit: Since being caught up on this podcast, I’ve been listening to other true crime podcasts. I still feel this podcast is worth the listen and overall really good, but scripting has become worse.

Really? The filthy language? I like crime stories, but I cannot listen to this in my home when my children can hear it. I will have to find another place to find crime podcast.

My mom was listening to it at first, but then I got so addicted. I listen to it every night.

I love this podcast and listen to it while working, exercising, and relaxing at home.

Plagiarism accusations and hearing Ashley talk is the equivalent of the most awful sound I’ve ever heard. Just dreadful. Yuck!

Love this podcast. Addicting!

I love this podcast bc I love the care you take in addressing each and every detail! Also GOOD JOB you r in the top three for crime podcasts!And Idk why people keep saying Brit is annoying bc she is just curious! I think that you should be the police/Detective in these cases bc you r good at spotting the truth and tiny things lol Keep going with this amazing Podcast! One more thing even tho Brit can be annoying she probably has to say those things bc it’s in the script!!! Ps If you r like me and love!space to I 100% recommend Space nuts!!!

Crime junkie MERCH BE WEIRD BE RUDE STAY ALIVE

Are you guys sponsored by a rock company!? Or really into igneous rocks? Because Ashley keeps saying granite, Instead of granted. Also Britney is really annoying, states the obvious and always interrupts the flow of the conversation by interjecting herself with some stupid comment. Other than that the story’s are great and in depth.

The cases they pick are the most interesting part of this podcast. These two are about promoting themselves not informing their listeners. I am not a fan.
