I feel like I grew up with these Indiana girls, and I share some perspective with them because of where I’m located. This is one of my fav podcasts and I appreciate all the digging the team does to present straight facts.
But like…. What’s a girl gotta do to get the f-word back? Crime Junkie’s massive success is in large part to us millennials sitting around listening to two friends speak to each other the same way we would speak to a friend. Idk if it’s an Indiana thing but we use the word a lot; to have it edited constantly is so annoying. It literally distracts from the story as I have to think of why half the word just went missing. Surely all the seasons prior to the editing proved we enjoyed listening just the way it was. It’s like riding the school bus and your fav song comes on but keeps bleeping or changing the words. No one wants that. And it’s hard to follow when words get silenced.
If I need to sleep and I can’t stop the circus in my brain, I turn on an episode and set sleep mode for 15 minutes. Ashley’s calm voice sends me every time.
One of the best crime podcast that I’ve run across! Ashley and Brit are just amazing and extremely engaging! I haven’t been a fan for long but now I’m a lifetime one for the time that I’ve binge listened to their podcast. I’ve absolutely fell in love with everything that they do! They cover just about any mystery unsolved to solved and the unknown as well as amazing people and survivors! My favorite thing about this podcast that some might not like is that there is a lot of unsolved crimes and questions that they cover but for good reason, Brit and Ashley tell their story when people, the media and the police have forgotten about them. I love their passion for safety for women and men. They’re just absolutely amazing people and the podcast is just worth it!
Love! Love! Love! My fave podcast ever I’m 16 and I’ve been listening to this podcast for about 3 years and it has made me so aware of my surroundings at all times! Keep up the good work I’m so grateful for you guys bc you have helped me immensely
Omg such a good podcast and it s always supper interesting and fun, but I will admit that the podcast has soooooooooooo many adds, but besides that it is amazing 🤩
honestly, i never really liked podcasts before finding this one. i always found them boring and would zone out. BUT THIS PODCAST…omg. I now go on walks listening to it, for long car rides, or whenever I can. My favorite episode is “Survived: Elizabeth Smart.”
I love the pod but it’s getting harder and harder to listen to because it’s obvious that Ashley is having Brit on a weird script and she can’t just be herself. Whenever she interjects something that is “off script” Ashley seems really dismissive and rude. It’s kind of a bummer. Idk if y’all just have a tight recording schedule or if Brit is being held captive.. blink twice and we’ll get you out of there girl!
I love your podcasts u guys are amazing!!!🩷🩷🩷🩷HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE also if you are saying they’re voices are annoying they can’t control they’re voices and the ads are so they can make money u dont seem to get mad when u see them on tv im a teenager and i actually know what im talking about sorry katenlianaaaaaa

They make you feel part of the Crime Junkie family for so many years now
