I’m 16 years old and I’ve been listening to this show religiously for longer than I can remember. Thank you Phoebe and co for brightening my day everytime, Criminal means the world to me 🩷

I appreciated (and still do appreciate) the show’s quality, but Criminal’s move to paid vs. non-paid is a bit of an outlier in terms of the number of ads. REALLY a lot of ad content per show. I fast-forward through ads, so they don’t bother me, but I’m quitting on principle. I encourage Criminal to follow other quality podcasts’ ads/story ratio. You don’t have to sell SO hard!

Thank you for being one of my comfort shows. After the devastating election results last night, I was at a loss for what to do. I was scrolling through my podcasts for a distraction and was so happy to remember that I had a few episodes of Criminal to binge. Your voice and manner of storytelling is so comforting.

Thank you for sharing the story of your mom, Valentine. I have aging parents and this episode really touched my heart. Phoebe you are a blessing to us all.

Valentine has been my favourite episode so far. Thank you for sharing and cheers to many more amazing stories <3

I’ve been listening to Criminal, This is Love and Phoebe Reads a Mystery for several years. I know I should take more time to review the shows I love, but alas I haven’t…until now. The story of your mother’s passing is so bittersweet that I couldn’t help but cry. It brought memories of watching my father pass away….although you Phoebe are a much better daughter than I. You matched your mother’s grace and kindness during her time of need. Thank you so much for sharing and inspiring us all to do better when our loved ones leave us behind.

This podcast is wonderfully made. I enjoy each and every episode Thank you Phoebe & all your staff that make this podcast possible. My favourite podcast was the story of your dear mother Valentine ❤️❤️❤️

Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing a bit of your mother with us. My mother is my best friend and this is my worst fear. It was a bittersweet listen and I am weeping in awe of your ability to share this. Hearing you experience this is remarkable and you should be proud of how you’ve captured her memory. May she rest in peace.

I love this podcast and Phoebe is a great story teller; this is my comfort podcast for sure. I always learn about something new. My only beef is the ad breaks - they're so frequent and usually pretty long. I get that you need to monetize (and also that I have the option to pay for Criminal+ to skip ads altogether), but sometimes it feels like half the episode is ads. Maybe they could be only at beginning? Please?

Phoebe is a great story teller,and the stories are for the most part, unique would be 5* except for the amount of ads
