I have not listened to any CJ all summer, I’ve been saving them for a long haul plane ride. I cannot WAIT to get caught up. Thanks for all you do Ashley & Co.!

I love it I love the host Ashley flowers it’s so good love it

One of the hosts has a habit of screeching dramatically into the mic and using this weird folksy accent.

I picked up this podcast from a family member and I fell in love with it, and I support bringing attention to unsolved crimes, and I love the dynamic between Brit and Ashley, but I have observed that a lot of people do not, but I do also believe that Brit deserves more airtime. Stay paranoid!😀 (That’s a good thing)

I love ❤️ your voices they are so beautiful together. I was listening to a episode and someone else was talking and then I started to get annoyed and I couldn’t listen to the rest so I started to play a episode with your guys voices and I started to calm down. And I love ❤️ your voices they are so beautiful 😻.

THIS IS SUCH AN AMAZING PODCAST every time my husband and I go on any trip together we get so involved in this podcast. I also listen to it while I am at work and now I have my own if I go missing and so does my husband. It has made light to many thing that I didn't even think to take in to consideration. I hope it really does make a difference and cases that go unsolved become solved due to you spreading the word please keep doing what your doing ! @Greasergirl1972

my older sister started listening to this and then I listened to it and I can’t stop when I go to bed at night. I listen to it and it is so amazing and very detailed. I love this podcast.

I tried to like this but Ashley’s opinions are annoying.

I have been faithfully listening to this pod for years. I have listened to every single episode up until the start of this year… now I listen occasionally. Something is definitely different. Everything is unsolved. We NEVER get to know “who done it” and it just gets old 🤷🏼‍♀️ also the freakings ads. They have got to be making a fortune 🫠

I have been a fan of Crime Junkie from the beginning however I am confused about the latest episodes. It seems the focus has shifted from solved murders to missing and unsolved cases but that is the same thing as The Deck podcast. Hopefully they will go back to the original format that made the podcast such a success.

Been listening to several years along with many highly regarded true crime podcasts, acc to Reddit :) (I’m NOT a fan of comedy true crime, banter between two hosts about random things throughout an episode, the cliche true crime podcast these days, etc). Ashley and Brit nail it perfectly and so so carefully. They’re extremely thorough and tedious with research and citing their sources (I know about the citation controversy in past, along with so many other podcasts doing the exact same, and props to cj for doing what they needed to do to fix it). Ashley and Brit’s chemistry is also better than ever— what I really thought shows through in their research and episodes is how legitimately interested and passionate about crime they’ve always been, e.g., Ashley keeping a journal of license plate tag numbers as a kid in case they were criminals and esp esp her work with crime stoppers long before this podcast. Even though cj is their own thing, they’re slightly comparable to me to true crime garage— they haven’t sold themselves to a corporate company, are extremely passionate and respectful, and give a really detailed and interesting description/explanation. Re: reviews about the unsolved cases— they’re trying to make a difference in cases; that’s their ultimate goal, and with as many listeners as they have, if they were truly passionate and committed to what should be the goal of true crime podcasts, why wouldn’t they talk about unsolved cases? I get that it can feel unsatisfying to listeners, but I can’t even imagine how a case being unsolved is to victims’ family members. I don’t write reviews much whatsoever (i.e., I’m not a serial ranter!), but these recent negative reviews were not a good representation of the show at all. But haters gon’ hate. My rant is over but hope it is a little helpful to someone :).

Brit inputs way too much Ashley would just be starting the episode and Brit already asking questions fall back a little

Tried this podcast but the co-host and her scripted lines are too annoying.

You are the first pod cast I have ever listened too! I love love love you guys it always makes my day when I see a new episode! Especially when I hear ‘and I’m Brit’ a few years ago when Brit wasn’t in the episodes due to medical issues was so sad. I’m so glad she’s back! I can relate to you guys so much!

Would be better without this Brit person chiming in. Not even sure what to call this/that? Maybe this/that is here/there because them/they got a thing??

I’m a Vermonter so I stumbled into Crime Junkie when I found Dark Down East. I’m also watching Presumed Innocent on Apple +Tv. Congratulations on the nod to the international true crime community enough to make reference to the Crime Junkie community on a fictional show. Clearly your show is making enough waves to be referenced on an internationally known fictional platform showing your clout. Props to you and Brit. Keep doing what you do, and maybe Maura Murray and others awaiting justice will finally be have answers.

Brit and Ashley, you guys are such an inspiration! I’m so astonished that you manage to handle daily life while doing so much research on these cases! Brit, this podcast wouldn’t be complete without you! You guys are so amazing and I love how much of a connection you have with one another! I feel like what you say is very important and little by little, you’re keeping so many people more wary and safe of their surroundings! My heart goes out to the crew who made this podcast possible! I have a pruppet of my own and she and I lay together and listen to you tell these stories of real people going through real things. I can’t imagine what it would be like to lose someone close, to a crime. What you do is so so important and meaningful to the families of these victims. My heart also goes out to the families and friends of the victims and I hope that every single person in or out of this podcast gets closure. Ashley and Brit, you helped me through some dark times and I wouldn’t be the same without you! Thank you so much to everyone that makes this podcast possible! And thank you Chuck for giving my dog something to listen to at the end! Love you all!❤️❤️

All the case notes say “if you have info about this murder call ….” Where are the interesting SOLVED cases? I can’t believe this podcast is still around, it tells nothing and all the host can say is “it’s not in my source material.” We know, you have no info - you’re just talking to talk.

Have loved this podcast for years and I so appreciate all the work that Ashley and Brit and their behind-the-scenes team put in. I have been beyond impressed with how they have grown their brand; it’s so admirable in addition to the time, energy, and funds to those in need of help solving cases. Lastly— thank you for freesummer in the app! Some day I will be able to join at cost, but as a mom of 5, money to spend on myself is pretty much nonexistent. Some day though, I will be honored to pay because the app is amazing, the show is incredible, and just wow. Love love love. And can there be more than 5 stars?

I am from Gainesville. Born and raised. We all know who killed Elaine. It wasn’t a trucker. It wasn’t random. This was not a crime of opportunity. Yall should take a deeper look into this one.

And stop using the podcast to promote Ashley. She is fabulous but as a crime junkie i tune n for for her and Brit. Also her book was not good like she claimed. Better than I could I write. But can we stick to crime junkie and not a money grab.

Been listening to this podcast since 2022 ..I love Ashely’s and Brit voice. I always listen to them at work , just that I wish the episodes were longer tho lol . Not a fan of the commercials tho

I started listening to this podcast and I loved it. Then I branched out to other podcasts and realized how scripted and irritating this podcast can be. The valley girl voice along with Britts voice drives me nuts. Definitely a lot better podcasts out there.
