Crime Junkie

I really love this true crime podcast ❤️❤️❤️🥰 It is one of my favorite podcasts. I love listening to it while doing other things

I’m trying to give this podcast a chance. I appreciate the research and storytelling by Ashley but there’s just something about Brit’s voice that keeps throwing me off and the constant interruptions don’t help. Red

There hasn’t been an episode since January 27. I’m missing my crime junkies!! I know the website says there have been new episodes but I haven’t seen any on Apple. I’m not sure what’s going on. Is there a new pay wall??

It’s been two weeks since I discovered the Crime Junkie Podcast, so maybe my review will change over time. I love listening and watching true crime stories and hearing about several different cases. I first listened to a few of the newest episodes and decided to start from the beginning in 2017. I’m working my way up to the newer episodes. In my opinion, I believe Ashley does a very good job with navigating through the story and telling specific details while also being a very interesting storyteller and keeping your attention. Although, I’m not a huge fan of Brit, only because of her sometimes unnecessary commentary while Ashley is speaking. When I’m truly invested into the story Ashley is describing, I most times find myself getting annoyed to hear Brit talk over Ashley, cut her off while speaking, making unnecessary remarks and simply asking unrelated/stupid questions.. when we all know the answer. I assume this is a tactic used to try to be relatable to listeners or engage with them, but I find it almost so annoying to where I don’t even want to listen to the podcast anymore. It also seems very scripted, because a question that Brit asks, will immediately follow into Ashley seamlessly flowing into the next chapter of the story. Also, Brit.. why are you always laughing at the most inappropriate times? I find nothing funny about the cases.. I’ll continue listening for now, hopefully things change over the age of the podcast. Also very annoyed with all the ads while listening and having to skip to 4 mins to get to the start of the podcast. Not to mention now there seems to be 5-10 minutes talking about dogs at the end. (I’m a dog lover- but really?) I’d recommend making a separate podcast about dogs and not talking about them after a murder case.
