    Love this podcast
    Delia, you’re an awesome reporter. I love the detail and the careful way you protect the dignity of your stories and the people you speak about.
  • Emperor and family
    Really good, but please…
    This is amazing and some of the best in true crime podcast. The only thing I would say is please stop saying “but you know me” or use “I” so much every episode… we know it’s you and your awesome so you don’t have to sell it

    Avid listener
    I have loved listening to the first six seasons of CounterClock. I chose this podcast because of the ‘clean’ rating. I appreciate hearing the stories without the language. It was disappointing to hear foul language in episode 3. I hope this was just a missed edit and not an indication of a change in the program’s rating.

    Amazing Storytelling!
    Deliha has an amazing ability to tell a story and place you right in the middle of it all! More than highly recommend! You won’t regret a second. Not to mention the great causes/stories that need the exposure. I hate when it ends and I need to wait for the next season.

    Mmmeh
    Well I love detail and twists n turns… that being said my god these are hard to follow stories. There are ten episodes and in the second I’ve got to do homework and catch up just to know what’s going on. I started with season 7 and want to go back now to give it a fair shot. I can’t even tell who or what this season is about it’s just all the things. Drugs? I don’t know lol.
  • Am I addicted or annoyed?
    Not up to your usual standard
    I'm a big audiochuck fan, but disappointed with the quality story of this season. I've faithfully listened to every season of CC. This is my least favorite of all of them.
  • dluh
    Sounds like a parody
    The self-important tone, the case being “blown open” in the next episode (fr u guys), disingenuously claiming they’re “doing this for the victims”, it’s cliches all around.
  • MaineAh207
    Nothing entertaining here
    This podcast chops up every detail into 20 or minute clips - 14, 18, 20 "episodes," each, prolonged by interspersed ads. I'm fine with ads, but not with so many crammed into an 18 minute segment or, episodes as the makers have the temerity to label them as. NEXT!

    Love audio chuck !
    Delia I love you ! Your investigation and reporting is impeccable. I love getting all the different sides of the story from so many people that knew the victim when they were still alive. The many perspectives is a total game changer!!
  • Melewe
    Bias Misleading and Partially Reported
    This may have been the most bias and pathetic reporting ever.
  • Lei.er.Kake
    Voyeurism?
    Recently learned that not a single case has been solved or a single person exonerated as a result of this investigative work. The hosts entitled pursuit of information from civilians is off-putting, and, I suspect, emboldened by their family ties to law enforcement. While the work is beneficial, the hosts arrogance and entitlement in seeking information leaves me feeling gross.
  • Karen Reed is guilty as sin
    Argghh!!!
    I can only listen to one episode a day, because this story is making me so angry!
  • skatergirl22
    FABULOUS Podcast Series
    I love this series so much. Every season has been so good. I can’t wait for more. If I could have given the show 10 stars, I would have.
  • JustJenGee1
    Just…
    Love Delia and her content!! Done w the frequent advert of Ashley’s about the number one podcast and her team of journalists, which has an arrogant or boastful air about it..or maybe it’s just played way too often…
  • Rolth
    Bad writing, bad subjects to base a story on, good stories and good quality
    The writing - she is extremely ham-handed, ends sentences with dangling participles, and mixes up when to use she and her or he and him. Season 7 - I just can’t figure out how to get my head around what happened here. She keeps calling the suspects low IQ, but they’re on the low side of average at the worst according to her own reporting. Everything in this case is just a contradiction. Still in progress though. Season 1 - the follow-up episode explained that she was given the coroner’s full report anonymously and her entire understanding of how the murder happened. It wasn’t a woman setting the fires apparently, instead some other guy. Season 2 - ok, the man had a warrant for his arrest and supplied people with crack. He was convicted of murder and only did 17 years. He probably did the correct amount of time for his other crimes so I don’t feel bad for him at all. A lot of her content seems to just be rumors because apparently all of the key people were so drunk and high over the years they are either dead or just can’t remember.

    The host has such an obvious opinion and bias to this murder and it was hard to keep listening to based on this.
  • PD_stache
    Amazing Podcast!!!!!!!
    This podcast is amazing and I am giving it a 5 star rating and hope you do too. Also I have an obsession for a podcast called crime junkie it is amazing and that podcast is the podcast that recommended counter clock.
  • Ali Fred12
    Excellent Journalism
    Delia is an incredible journalist. Love this podcast and anything else she does!
  • BC2024
    plain wrong on the law, biased, misleading the audience
    It’s an interesting story but the host’s explanation of the law is often incorrect and misleading. I recommend listing to the Prosecutors podcast for better true crime content.
  • DD follower
    Impatient Me!
    I tried my darndest to wait until all episodes of season 7 were out, to avoid waiting a week for the next ones. I cracked! Guilty me…. Started listening and can’t put this season down… Delia is best crime solver ever!!! You put the ‘legal eagles’ to shame
  • Real Fuzz
    Riveting!
    I lived in Winston Salem at the time this happened and had no idea what was going on with the police and the suspects. I am so sorry for the man who died and his family. I am also sorry for the accused and their families. Another review said the interview recordings were hard to understand. I understood them, probably because I grew up in the South. I hope scientific developments will make false accusations impossible one day.
  • MGMMama
    Delia is Amazing!
    The best podcast ever!
  • Teon77
    Well done/Feedback
    Please be precise when discussing “the law” rather than assuming. What you stated was incorrect. Additionally, yes we know you! No need to keep saying “you know me” it clogs up the flow and it has become rote and awkward. Love you!
  • gigitonae
    Outstanding
    Love this podcast, I was hooked from episode one. Delia gets into the details and explains things to the everyday person! I wait anxiously for the next episodes and can hardly contain myself! Keep digging and thanks for all you do!!
  • Pumpkin1021
    Why give her a platform??
    She kept saying they lied, they knew they lied. the cops lies did not put those innocent boys in jail for their formative years. SHE DID! This is disgusting, listening to her whine about how she was tricked by the police, she waited until these men were almost all out, after serving their whole sentences… she should have to go to jail now, and serve their sentences plus one for lying. She ruined their lives, and a real murderer has walked free all this time! She’s evil. Jessica is evil.
  • Bschora
    1st Impressions.
    @ Ep.1. The recordings are rough. Difficult to hear. I hope they aren’t used too heavily moving forward. 3 Stars because of this. All the way up to Ep.4, terrible interview recordings. I can’t understand key things being said. It’s painful. S7, had to skip for same reason. Ten long episodes of what? Rewind. Replay. What? I’m parking this podcast for a while. :-(. Second time I had to take a break.
  • Cadennme
    Season 7 - Wow
    Season 7 is another outstanding season! The storyline gripped me by mid-episode 1, I could quickly visualize who the victim was & feel outrage over what happened to him. This can only be accomplished when great storytelling is taking place.

    The Absolute Best
    This is hands down the best podcast. Delia’s investigative work and delivery are top notch. I know it takes time to be thorough and I wait with anticipation. I can’t imagine the horror of the families involved and then add to that the fact that they must feel forgotten. Kudos to you for giving a voice to all involved. 🙌
  • Jungosmash
    Great stories, well told.
    I’ve (binge) listened to seasons 1-6 so far. I appreciate the care with which the stories are told; yet are still made to be interesting. I thought cases 1-5 were crazy, but season 6 really threw we for a loop. Great job on that investigation. I really hope those people get caught.

    Hard to wait for episodes

  • Shards0fwords
    The only audio check I’ll listen to on occasion
    Call me a snob but I like reporting from reporters and noncorrupt prosecutions (anatomy of a murder)
  • The Voice Fry….
    Great podcast
    The voice-fry is not professional or pleasant to listen to.
  • gold st
    No full season release anymore?
    I love this podcast, been listening since the beginning. I really liked when the entire season was released at once, are you not doing that anymore? Super disappointed. Edit: I see the episodes are behind a paywall. Now I'm even more disappointed. Booooooo. 👎👎👎
  • Sarajes16
    Amazing
    I have listened to many true crime podcasts and never felt compelled to rate them. This podcast is amazing and I am hooked. The only complaint I have is that eventually I will be all caught up on the seasons and still want more. Great job. Highly recommend!
  • Deepdiverinvesti8r
    Love
    Counter clock was my first investigative podcast and so far I have not been able to find another like it. I blew through all 6 seasons with in probably a month. I love how each season is about one case so you DIVE DEEP in the details. It thorough and feels more than just “entertainment” but rather given more for the families of these sad losses to have a chance of closure. Thank you
  • TildaJean
    Season six Q &A
    I had to stop listening because of the cackling voices talking over each other. Yecch.
  • **Tbird**
    Season 8
    So excited for season 8!!!! #1 podcast and Delia is amazing!!!
  • flubius
    Amazing!
    I’ve was an investigative journalist for 19 years. I’m usually disappointed in other investigative stories and podcasts. Until now. This is the most thorough and passionate piece of journalism I have ever experienced. Thank you.
  • DeacRipps
    Best Audiochuck
    Best Audiochuck podcast. More facts, less liberal bias. Quite a bit of “arm chair law enforcement” but that’s part of investigative journalism…I suppose.
  • Jojo9270
    Best!
    Love this podcast ! Always keeping you on edge and love how everything is explained.
  • MittDropper
    Great show but…
    You can tell she is a UNC fan because she is from Eastern NC and STILL called it East Carolina STATE university.
  • Konnerkrystine
    Delia is the best!
    Delia is an amazing investigative journalist. This most recent season had so many important branches off from the main story that she seamlessly tied together.
  • Christie Leigh Cook
    Love it
    Fantastic podcast and wonderfully done! I love everything about it including all the wonderful sound effects. Makes me feel like I’m there! Great host, great investigating and great journalism! Keep it up Girlie!!!🥰😘 ps it’s the best podcast and only one from AudioChuck I listen to!
  • jimmytwochins
    Over critical
    Delia is very critical of police officers and detectives as if they are expected to be flawless and super human sensory creatures. Police are human and mistakes are made. Her arrogance as a journalist is annoying. Try investigating something from the very beginning and see how you do, instead of hindsight.
  • Lin-z11
    Host issues
    This show would be good if the host didn’t talk so much about how thorough she is at investigating. After the 6th time I had to turn it off.
  • ArykOwen
    Annoying
    I like Park Predators, one of Delia’s shows. I like the focus on the victim and the interesting stories that come with them. I generally don’t like to listen to sensationalized true crime stories about rape and murder though. However, it takes a while to find a podcast that is interesting and doesn’t have annoying hosts so in between seasons of things I like tried Counterclock. I hate it. I listened to most of season 1. The host thinks that her opinions and coincidences are relevant or mean anything. I’m ACAB all day every everyday but it’s annoying that she always thinks she knows better than the investigators (that’s an issue in Park Predators too). I don’t think Delia is a good investigator at all. She annoys the police, asks people leading questions, and is annoyed when people don’t want to talk to her. It’s not at all strange that someone who had nothing to do with the murder (even if you think they did) to not want to be bothered about something that happened 20 years ago. Especially if they were hounded at the time and suspected by their community. I wouldn’t want to be in this horrible podcast either. It’s a disservice to the case, to the family, and the investigation. I can’t finish season 1 and definitely won’t continue. I promise it’s nothing personal against Delia, I just think she can do better.
  • NikkiD0107
    Best season yet
    Wow! Season 6 is the best one yet. It is crazy how it ties into your personal life; talk about a full circle moment. But then how insane these stories are, it’s like the saying that “the truth is stranger than fiction”. I hope these families get the long awaited justice they deserve after the renewed light was shed on their stories. Side note: there is a podcast (Prison Town) about my hometown that has jaw dropping twists and turns like this one. Give it a listen after you finish counter clock!
  • Dogfreak9k
    Great Podcast👍
    This is so well put together and she really delves into looking for answers and speaking to whoever she needs to to get to the bottom of questions and find answers. Great podcast will continue to listen to all seasons.
