Popular Reviews of Crime Junkie

I used to love this podcast, but over the last few months the hosts are no longer capable of leaving their political views out of the story lines. Your audience gets enough political rhetoric on every other media platform! I just heard the hosts justify the mother of two missing girls lying to the police because "police are brutal." NO! If you want to find your kids you don't lie to the police! True crime, is supposed to be about TRUTH, not filled with references of your opinions and beliefs; if your audience wanted that they would just watch the nightly news!

I used to really like this podcast. Unfortunately, they can’t keep their political views out of it which is really unprofessional. The last straw was today’s podcast and the constant police bashing they do on their podcast. I refuse to listen anymore. What about highlighting the hundreds and thousands of cases where there is great police work? Too bad they are caught up in the cancel culture. I wonder how they would feel if they had husbands or brothers or fathers who served in the police force. DONE. Deleting crime junkie. I’m going to stick to TCAT

I use to like them however it has become lazy just stating evidence of unsolved cases and not theorising. Plus they are plagiarists.

If you're looking for true crime podcasts that are detailed but to the point (unlike Serial), this is the one for you.

I have been trying to like this podcast for weeks, but it seems to scripted. Although each podcast is a different story, they all sound the same. One tells the story while the other asked questions and acts surprised on Q! It does not seem like a real conversation, just a badly scripted crime story.

Was a huge CJ fan until it became clear that their episodes rip off indie podcasts and steal content from other creators, with no remorse. Disappointing to have such a promising start, only to devolve into plagiarism and bad faith (all while raking in tons of cash).

Plagiarized content, title, and merchandise. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/22/business/media/crime-junkie-podcast-plagiarism.html Furthermore, the podcast refuses to address it beyond an obviously lawyer-manufactured statement.

I liked it, until I learned they are accused of and appear guilty of plagiarism

There's a lot I appreciate about this podcast. The hosts speak very clearly and in good quality, personal chatter is to a minimum, it's very much to-the-point and matter-of-fact. It's more fast paced so you don't lose focus halfway through. Ads are brief and easy to skip. Consistent with new episodes. It's a favorite for sure.

Just could not get into it, unfortunately, as people who like it seem to really love it.

I did start off absolutely loving Crime Junkies, however recently I have been turned off it. I find myself rolling my eyes every time they say something like "if I was in that position.." or "you'd think they would of done something like this..." - as if they know what their exact reaction would be too stumbling across a decapitated human being!! Also, Britt pretending like this isn't heavily scripted and acting shocked at every single detail really is annoying. There are just way too many better (not plagiarized) shows that don't shove their beliefs down your throat! Very disappointing, won't be coming back.

This is my favorite True Crime podcast. It does quite a few things right, in my opinion. 1. It keeps personal conversations to a minimum.2. It tells the stories from the victim's perspective.3. It keeps a spooky tone for those who love true crime for the spoops.4. For unsolved crimes, it tells viewers what to look out for in order to help it get solved. AND they like to shine light on cases that may have been overlooked, which means a lot to the survivors of these crimes who are still trying to get justice.This is an anthology style true crime podcast (a new case every episode). However, I've heard complaints from people who prefer deep dive true crime podcasts (one case per season), but if that's what you want then Red Ball is more for you.

This used to be one of my favourite podcasts but now they are just trying to hard to be cool I think??! I think the biggest change is the swearing which is fine but WHY SWEAR THE BLEEP IT OUT???!!!! It frustrates the hell out of my! If you don’t want to swear don’t if you do then do it and leave it in. Swearing and bleeping it out is so childish and just pointless. Ashley & Brit go back and listen to yourself in the early days and compare to now you have just gotten to big for your boots and like I said just trying way to hard…

I love this podcast so much! Listening to Ashley and Britt actually inspired me to start my own True Crime Podcast.

I absolutely love this podcast, the hosts are such great storytellers ! Keep the great content coming ladies !!! #crimejunkie1podcast

They used to be my go to podcast. But the stories have been wait it to try to justify murdering people because of whatever the WOKE situation is.Britney has always brought the show down but anymore her speaking the obvious and repeating the same questions it’s super annoying.Bringing victims families and to tell their little piece breaks up the cadence of the story.Been very disappointment lately. Don’t look forward for Mondays to listen to them. And when I do try to listen to an episode I find another reason to not come back. So sad.

One of my all-time favs. What a couple of badass babes😀

Love love love Crime Junkie! My absolute favorite and I could listen to you two all day!!!

i always recommend this podcast to people. covers stories really well :)

I do still love this podcast but there is one thing I have noticed that I don't like. They bash on people in the very beginning , picking apart every detail and again bashing on some of the people involved in the case (example the roommate of a girl that was murdered and had to call 911). At first I thought oh she must have been involved because of the way they are talking about her but she ended up not being involved. Now other than that it is a great podcast. People keep saying they plagiarize but they leave every site on there website with information and pictures included. They also donate a lot so that's also a plus.
