Criminal

I’ve listened to a lot of true crime podcasts(actually, all kinds of podcasts), and nothing compares to Criminal. Brilliantly written and delivered, I always learn something new and interesting while being fascinated with the storyline. I think Phoebe Judge’s voice is the most soothing voice I’ve ever heard— how else could I absorb all the cruelties of crime without feeling assaulted? Five stars all the way, and it just keeps getting better!

I’ve listened to Criminal for years and recently subscribed. However, Phoebe‘s cluelessness at thinking that Covid is over (as millions of immunocompromised people continue to be ostracized and isolated) was only interrupted when her own co-producer got sick. And then, has the gall to think that vaccines and masking on a plane is all she needs to do. Unbelievable.

What fun to listen to the two of you banter and to aurally witness your grand friendship. Swift Quick Spa ?? Rapid Pampering.

And I’ve been spreading Avocado rather than butter on toast, sandwiches and will now use the built in bowl and scoop it up as well. Clever ! I adore both of your shows and share often. Full of humanity, curiosity, hard truths, levity, lessens to learn and wonder. it is refreshing and necessary to twist our perspective, our sense of justice/injustice, to understand our biases and that rushing to judge and winning convictions is not always a measure of success. It’s healthy to lquestion practices , admit we erred and work to perfect our complex , evolving system and sense of right and wrong. I think you are providing great insight and a public service and am grateful. I’m sorry some find fault , it’s puzzling really for you are merely the messenger and sharing history without opining. Leave that to others. Plus I love the unusual, offbeat characters you uncover and reframe criminality through history. I do go on!! This is Love is spectacular, original, beautiful and poignant. And I love your voice, sense of adventure and wonder. Applause , bravos and cheers for continuing all these years.

I’ve always enjoyed Criminal, but was convinced I needed to subscribe to Criminal + after hearing a sample of the content at the end of the latest Criminal episode. Listening to Phoebe and Lauren shoot the breeze was the highlight of my day. Let’s all subscribe so that we can keep this team entertaining us for years to come.
