    Disrespectful Garbage
    Disrespectful the way they get excited about a ‘story’. This is someone’s loved one. Ick.

    IOWA PSA! Thanks for the warning!
    Just finished the last episode and appreciate the warning to everyone that Robert Davis now resides in Iowa. Immediately forwarded to all my friends with a PSA. Been a longtime listener! Thanks for the facts and care you take in telling these stories! They help us all stay vigilant and aware.

    4/5
    I enjoy the show and have listened to almost every episode. I do agree that presenting the plot of Ashley’s new book as an actual case was done in poor taste. Disagree with everyone who is leaving a review about the show being “too political.” It’s their show? They can make it as political as they want it to be, and if you do not believe that politics influences the outcome of many of these cases, then you are not paying attention.

    Austin Metcalf
    I listen while walking. Looking forward to your episode on the Austin Metcalf murder.

    Blame Game
    How predictable.. another episode where law enforcement is blamed once again.
  • Lizpetersen
    Can’t stand Brit
    I’ve listened for years but finally had to unfollow. I hate to be mean and I try to not leave negative reviews anywhere but I cannot stand Brit. Ashley is great but it’s to the point where I can’t listen anymore. If Ashley ever goes solo, I’ll be back in a heartbeat. I know I’m not the only one who feels like this 😭 I saw them live and it was great, but would have been much better if it was just Ashley.

    Obsessed
    I am literally obsessed with all things true crime, so when I happened to stumble upon this gem I was hoooked. I listen to crime junkie while i’m driving, cooking, showing, working out etc. I cannot get enough. The way Ashley and Brit narrate pulls you in even more.
  • Sofgabank99
    We love you guys
    I’ve been listening to Crime Junkie since it started. My whole family is hooked.
  • Sunshine6133
    Nope
    I tried listening to this again but I just can’t do Brit and wonder why she’s a part of the show. Her ‘contributions’ are annoying and seem to be always in a question form when they aren’t actually questions. I tried. 🤷‍♀️
  • zclink20
    Eh
    Britt makes me never want to listen ever
  • Lola12377
    Less Brit Please!
    It is so obvious the Brit reads off of a script- completely useless feedback and asks the worst questions. Ashley pleaseeee less Brit on the podcast
  • Cdahlkamp
    Way too woke
    Used to listen to them all the time, but became way too woke and brought their political views into the show making it unlistenable

    Long Time Listener Disgusted
    I have listened to EVERY SINGLE EPISODE of Crime Junkie, I loved it, but the most recent episode from 5/6/25 promoting Ashley’s book as a real case is absolutely disgusting to me. Please take this episode down - it’s so disrespectful and in bad taste. I can’t believe anyone thought this was a good idea.

    Big Fan
    I love crime junkie everything about murder interests me but can you do more about serial killers but with amber haggerman wouldn't the guy had to be strong and fast to pick up a nine year old girl and also to get to the creek they would have been well known to be there
  • Creeperaman
    Awesome podcast
    I always listen to this podcast before bed keep it up and I love y’all’s episodes keep it up!
  • kkkkkkkkkkbhakakfjs
    CJ
    Lol. Almost all the poor reviews are from conservatives that feel attacked when faced with the truth. They would rather live in their land of delusional where everything is perfect and systems of power should never be questioned.
  • Britt. Burkett
    Help keep me company!
    Just got my cdl and started driving semis delivering grocery’s to a well known grocery store! Even though thankfully I am home every night we still work long days and a lot of hours! Y’all have helped keep me company and keep me alert while I’m out there working! Wish I could’ve gotten tickets to come see yall live but I was unable to get the time off from work! Thank you guys for all yall do!
  • DCW47353
    Love you both, but…
    Long time listener here and I love you both dearly - Brit please stop interrupting/talking over/finishing someone else’s sentences. It’s something that’s bothered me for a while but it’s so bad on Fallon Farinacci’s episode.
  • Smile 🌈
    ♥️
    Great episode thank you 😊
  • Bubbles lilly
    Keeps getting worse
    I use to listen to this show a ton years ago and was part of their patreon for a bit but they got too political so I took a break. I attempted to listen to their show again recently and it was so painful! They are trying way too hard!! So many other podcasts out there that are WAY better I avoid all audiochuck productions now
  • fireeeeeeeboii
    The best true crime podcast !!
    Great podcast
  • zan552388
    So annoying
    Bringing you idiotic political views! Done listening murder in America is way better!
  • disappointedinHBO
    Recent episodes don’t have the same appeal
    UPDATE // Framing a plug for her book as an episode was tacky, tacky, tacky. I listen less and less. I’ve really enjoyed CJ since I started listening a few years go, and I’ve worked my way through the whole back catalog. I look forward to the new episode every Monday, but have to say that for the last few months, I’ve found the episodes so boring that I’ve been skipping them after listening to around 20m. I’m just one listener, and this is just my two cents, but figured I’d put it out there in case it makes a difference.

    Weird
    I have always loved this podcast but on the episode this week they did 5 min precursor to a book to buy? I thought you did this podcast for the good of the cases not to make money from people’s deaths. Stop trying to play the hero card that your helping families
  • lalalauren27
    book plug under guise of missing woman ???? gross
    had been a long time listener, often left with a bad taste in my mouth re: fake wokeness and their non stop talking about how great they are… but now unfollowing after a book plug about a fake missing woman. disgusting for those with missing family members. gross y’all

    Crime Junkie since 2018
    My sister first showed me crime junkie on a road trip home from dropping off my grandparents in 2018. I've been hooked ever since. Thank you for bringing light to so many peoples stories and always helping where ever you can. It's always season of justice.
  • LLZ93
    Love the show!
    I’m a big fan of the show and a fellow Hoosier! I love that you use your platform to speak on cases that don’t always get the attention they deserve. Also true crime is political so keep speaking on your political views!! If I had one critique, it would be that I wish you had a version of the podcast without the background music, it can be too calming for me, and sometimes I will tune out and lose track of the story. I would love a music free version to listen to!! Keep up the great podcasting!!
  • Tec923
    Great job Britt!
    The episode Britt hosted with survivor Fallon was so well done!
  • Essamama97
    LOVE♥️
    You guys are my daily listen! And have made me so alert on my surroundings. Thank you for all the hard work you put in and telling each persons story!

    Misleading podcast trying to sell poorly written fictional novels
    A podcast supposedly "bringing light to injustice" pretends to tell a story about a crime that's actually the host's fictional novel. It's a true crime podcast. If listeners wanted fiction, they'd listen to the thousands of fiction podcasts available.
  • veiostra
    this is peak
    love ur podcast girls keep it up
  • Mtpharmd
    Long time road trip listener
    It seems that numerous others resonate with the distaste of diatribe of political interjections. I’ll also add the amount of profanity has become hard to listen. Switched over to Three.
  • The master457
    Political
    We get it you hate most cops and conservatives
  • fafjrock
    Could be less “Pro WOKE”
    Why do we always have to bring politics into the entertainment business. Your show isn’t successful because people like your politics and point of view. I really enjoy true crime stories but it’s tough to hear it being told by woke liberals who gave up on God because they would prefer to believe that being gay, trans, and sinful is OK. They are wrong. But I still enjoy the 15% of the content that doesn’t include their woke ideologies and opinions.
  • Sherlock Poofy
    Binge worthy podcast
    You guys are so awesome. The banter between you guys is just like me with my friends.
  • Tbear613
    Love the show
    I absolutely love Listening to this show as I lay down to go to sleep. I just can understand why I hear so much “I don’t know” or “ I have no further info”. I thought that this show would have a final outcome on the episodes. I think that you all need to investigate further to give us all an answer or an outcome. I have a great story that I want to share for you to your show but I just don’t think that you will give my case true justice
  • A good cops wife
    meh
    I love this podcast and have listened to it for many years. My only issue with is that you either appreciate law enforcement or you drag it through the mud. There are bad doctors, bad teachers, bad service industry employees, etc, etc. I realize case by case the investigations have not been as thorough as you see fit, but when that’s the case you make them all look bad. Regardless, their information gives you a huge piece of what you’re trying to accomplish (JUSTICE), and sometimes you use law enforcement being cooperative to you and turn in into a narrative to make them look terrible. Again, there’s good cops, bad cops, lazy cops, and podcasters who were loved that’s lost the perspective of what they started out to do.

    Perfect for a Roadtrip
    I stumbled upon this podcast when wanting to listen to some true crime and was instantly hooked. I listen to this anytime I’m driving more than 1 hour (and I roadtrip a lot) and even got my parents hooked on it! For those who complain about ads, it’s super easy to just skip past them. 10/10 a great listen
  • tammee8
    LOVE Crime Junkie
    I have been listening to CJ for years and it’s my favorite podcast ever. I love how Ashley and Brit tell each persons story.
  • Sfd129
    Forgot why they started
    I think they have gotten far off course of what they started for. The goal was respectful sharing of survivors and victims in the effort of healing for the family and victim/survivor. These old cases from the 1800s and early early 1900s that seem more like speculation and ghost stories are for pure entertainment and seem to have lost pace with the intention of the show. Some more recent crime would actually serve the original mission and have an impact on the current world.
  • Birdie2640
    Hard to listen to
    If you don’t want comments on politics, then don’t bring it up! Stick to true crime and not your opinions. Also, your back and forth commentary sounds so staged. Try to make it sound a little more natural.
  • UnUsagi
    Ads
    Yall this show is legit just ads every 10-15 minutes at this point im done listening to this show since im hearing more ads then actual content 🤷‍♀️ baffling to me that you can give so many ads an still think you’re not a sell out 🤷‍♀️😂
  • MerajFatima
    Best True Crime Podcast Ever
    I have been listening to you guys forever and can never get enough of all the new stories you guys come up with!!
  • the sophster
    Could be better
    I find it very annoying that you guys try to ride the centrist line too hard. Some episodes you guys are obsessed with cops some you guys are talking about the injustice in our country. Most cases I get so annoyed that absolutely nothing of substance was said, you guys are just taking pieces of other people’s work and calling it your own. Ashley takes all the credit lol, as if she doesn’t have a whole production team behind her.
  • mariavaldz
    Love it!
    I love this podcast! I just started listening to it a few weeks ago and now I listen to it everyday! I read some say they unfollowed because of your political views so i followed you! Keep up the good work!
  • Jmurray00174
    Keep the political opinions out.
    Stick to crime. We don’t want to hear about your political views.
  • KaitlynAF
    Garbage
    These two are nauseating. They actually believe they are smarter than every murder detective on every case they cover. Brit has the most annoying and useless commentary and she just sounds stupid. They also are very obvious extreme left wing with all their biased and nasty comments about anyone conservative. Most of these comments only show their ignorance about people with different beliefs than them. I don’t trust them at all to cover these cases accurately or fairly. Two dumb dumbs.
  • Fairygirl4life
    Love this show
