Customer Reviews
Love this show!
Definitely one of the pods I listen to every week and look forward to! I love the fun banter that John and Olivia have and the cases that are interesting but not the same as all the other ones out there!
Love this Pod!
I started listening when there were about 30 or so episodes in the bank after my sister recommended it to me since I loved Olivia on her season of MAFS. I wasn’t sure what to expect but I love the rapport between John and Olivia and look forward to new episodes every week! Now I recommend Check the Locks to all my friends looking for a new True Crime podcast to listen to. Great job you two!
Check them out!
Olivia and John always stay consistent with their podcast. They seem very down to earth and relatable. They keep the banter to a minimum and get right into the cases. I like the variety of different cases they cover, and that you never know if you’ll be diving back in time or learning about a case that is currently unfolding. I highly recommend checking them out!
