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!
