Nails it every time.
If you’re not just a person who indulges in true crime but also understands there is usually a reason these crimes occur, this is the podcast for you.
Well done!
I absolutely look forward to the next episode. Such a well done podcast. Erica’s voice is so soothing and her research is spot on.
Amazing podcast
Thank you. Always inclusive.
Smart & Sassu
Great podcast- well researched and insightful. I appreciate the host’s non-biased presentation of the facts and I admire her critical analysis of each case (which sometimes involve politics because that’s the reality of this world.)
Great show!
Not only is Erica’s voice very soothing and just wonderful to listen to, but she really does he let research and presents you with the facts.
Favorite True crime podcast
I was hooked at episode 1 a few years ago and listen every week. The research is thorough and Erika does an amazing job of telling the story of the crime and all the background on suspects, victims, and details surrounding the case. A must listen!!
Favorite
One of my favorite podcast. I listen to every episode and have gone back to catch up on the ones that I missed. I love the back story on the criminal, it gives insight on things to look out for.
Great storyteller!
This was the first podcast I ever listened to and I’m still hooked! Ericka has such a great voice and is an amazing writer/storyteller. She does a great job of keeping to the facts but, if she interjects her opinion, we know it’s her opinion. She is very organized with her stories and makes sure that her listeners get all the facts. Always excited when a new episode come out!
Thoroughly researched
I’ve listened to a lot of true crime podcasts and read a lot of true crime books. One thing I value when consuming true crime stories is a thoroughly researched story that doesn’t just repeat gossip and assumptions. One of the easiest ways to tell a story of violence is to make the perpetrator into a monster and the victim into a saint. Rarely is a story so clearly black and white. There is no denying anyone who chooses violence is acting in a heinous manner, but most people are a combination of good and bad and what leads them to acting in such a monstrous way is complicated. Erica always looks at the history of the perpetrator to search for things that might have happened in their lives that affected their personality/mental health and ability to cope with stress and adversity. If we can identify some of the many contributing factors to violence against others perhaps we can find ways to prevent it. People aren’t usually monsters but they can do monstrous things. I want to know how that happens and how to recognize the threat of violence in time to prevent it. Thanks for all the details and willingness to talk about the many shades of gray in each story, Erica.
My fav podcast
I love love listening to Erica, she gives so much history to the area of where the crime happened and also gives the victims and families the at most respect. Keep up the great work
I live for true crime podcasts
And SFTC is my number one favorite. Erika’s voice is so soothing, the way she tells the story is so easy to follow and her (along with Haley) research into each case doesn’t compare to any other true crime podcast.
Excellent
Great research and story telling. She is to the point and insightful. Thank you.
Love it!
I used to listen to this podcast as my “evening wind down” but it has now become one of my “need it now” podcasts. Erica is an amazing story teller and I love that she dives into the histories of her subjects. Nuance and exploration of the human psyche is what puts this podcast above most others. It’s real storytelling that is thorough and well researched. If you’re done with the one off 25 minute shows that just scratch the surface, you’ve found your new fa. Highly recommend
Wonderful podcast!
My husband and I love to listen to SFTC every day when we walk our dogs. The stories are compelling and I feel like we really get to know the victims. Erica has a wonderful voice that is perfect for this podcast. SFTC is one of my favorite podcasts!!
In My Top Five
From the first time I heard Erica, SFTC leaped into my top 5 favorite podcasts. Her soothing, storytelling voice is so suited to the cases she covers. Her research is thorough and I always look forward to new episodes. She has thoughtful and compelling insights. Keep up the great work! Take care now 😉
Love it!
Love hearing Erica’s voice and her love of/ understanding of southern culture. She doesn’t sugar coat anything and I really like hearing her take on things, even if I disagree with a small point from time to time. Anyway, just wanted to say I’ve listened to every episode and you all are doing a great job!
My Favorite Podcast
Compassionate, intelligent, authentic, and nuanced. Erica captures the very southern practice of simultaneously seeing both sides of each coin. It is scripted, which demonstrates preparation and solid research, something I strongly prefer to listening to some podcasters who natter on. This is an excellent podcast for anyone who is interested in the “why” of criminal acts rather than the gory details. Erica digs into family dynamics and personal histories and presents a wholistic picture of each of the characters. Additionally, she always includes an informative narrative about the history of the locales. The south has such a remarkable history and, even though I’ve lived here all of my life, I continue to be delighted by the variety of cultures across our region. I look forward to each new episode and tend to gobble it up a little too quickly. But, the good news is that each episode is as interesting when I revisit them. I often go back and re-listen to older episodes and sometimes find that I actually pick up more information the second or third time around. I can’t recommend this highly enough.
My Absolute Favorite Poscast
I listen to a lot of true crime podcasts and this one is hands down my favorite. Erica is so thorough and unbiased in telling these sad stories. Highly recommend!
I love this podcast!!!
Great true crime stories, & the host’s voice & accent are incredibly soothing (I know that sounds odd since she’s discussing sometimes gruesome murders!). As a Memphian, I love her references to Tennessee & her stories about murders in our state.
Insightful
I really enjoy how Erica researches the regions to add context and history to settings of some of these cases. It really helps set the scene and aids her awesome way of telling the stories of the cases she covers.
Great storyteller
On the edge of my seat, easy to follow, respectful to victims. No banter, all good storytelling!
The best storyteller
This is my favorite podcast to get stuff done to. I get so into the story I forget I’m working. I wish there were more episodes released each week.
Best Podcast of the South
Great Podcast! As always, I can’t wait for the next episode! Thanks Erica, keep up the great work!
One of my top 3
This is an amazing podcast! When anyone asks for suggestions this is one of the true crime ones I always suggest! Erica’s voice gives me southern summertime vibes on those slow hot days!
