The BEST podcast!!
Erica and her team are truly the best. I’ve listened to every episode, and most, a couple of times over. I’m also apart of the FB group she mentions at the end of an episode, and it’s the best corner of the internet. I feel like they’re all my friends. They’re helpful, funny and sassy. As always, we worship Dolly. ❤️
Crime with a side of Southern charm
Erika and her team really know how to put together a story. Her delivery is just *chefs kiss*. She researches her episodes and provides so much information that it’s almost like you can envision the scene just by listening. SFTC is in my top 3 and I often find myself replaying old episodes just to experience them over. You won’t regret adding this one into your line up. Erica nails the narrator role, and she does a wonderful job telling the story honestly from the perspective of the victim or their loved ones. She’s got a touch of sarcasm but if you listen to her delivery you can clearly tell when she’s using a marathon tongue in cheek. I really enjoy this pod and I’m going to stay supporting it as long as it exists! Thanks Erica and Haley!
Facts, Compassion, Empathy, Awareness
If you want murder-porn, this is not for you. This podcast is dedicated to getting stories out truthfully, respectfully, and without attracting weird people who only listen to true crime because they want to hear about torture and gore (super disrespectful). Erica Kelley is a master storyteller. She fought through her own health issues to continue telling stories that matter. Stories that are based in fact and set the record straight. It’s so odd to me that people would leave negative reviews because they’re angry that she refuses to stoop to “murder-porn”. Gross.
Well researched, great story teller
Erica does an amazing job! Second to none. 👍🏼
Great Podcast
I look forward to listening to this podcast on my walks and as my bedtime stories, even though I never remember what I listen to. Erica’s voice is so relaxing that it helps me fall asleep. “That’s a compliment.” I don’t mind listening to episodes again. Keep up the hard work. I really appreciate what you do.
Soothing
Narrator’s voice is smooth and soothing and the crimes discussed are expertly researched. One of my longtime favorites.
Excellent storytelling
Erica tells the whole story. She tells the reasons or possible motivation behind the crimes. She does not glorify or over condemn the people involved. She’s like an old time news anchor. She tells the story completely and lets the audience feel how they want. I really enjoy listening to this podcast.
Love, love, love Erica!!
This podcast is simply amazing and I could listen to Erica talk forever! You can tell how much time and attention to detail she pours into every episode. This podcast is one I’ll always listen to!
Y’all are in for A TREAT!
Erica Kelly and her team do an incredible job on the research for the show. She gives great insight into how killers and criminals MAY have headed down the wrong path without ever excusing their crimes. And MOST importantly, she never forgets the victims,who are so ofter overshadowed in the media. She goes in to detail about them, their lives, those impacted by their loss. An the cherry on top is her amazing voice and delivery
Good Gravy!
Top notch researching and great delivery. I have had a cocktail and am going to use too many adjectives. So to help the redundancy, Erica is fanfreakintastic, a story teller to keep you interested and sad to hear each episode end. Go ahead and start at the beginning, you won’t regret it!
Don’t Miss this One
Erica is great. I especially like how she begins with the town history. It sets the stage. She gives background of the killer which is helpful in understanding how these terrible crimes occur. How can we hope to change anything without knowing that? Her sassy southern style is wonderful. I can’t wait for the next episode.
Best True Crime Ever!
I am from Northwest Alabama & I have always been a true crime lover. Erika has the best voice, and absolutely does an amazing job with this podcast. I look forward to the new ones every Month. Nothing like a glass of wine, laying on my bed swing on the porch in the summertime listening to her. My kids know mamas listening to her crime shows when I put the air pods in. I have yet to find anything better than Southern Fried True Crime.
Narrative style
I prefer narrative / story telling type of podcast and this is definitely one of my favorites . Erica has a great voice. the stories are well researched & told in a respectful but insightful way . One of the few podcasts that make me so excited when i see a new episode has dropped .
Best True Crime Podcast
Been listening to Southern Fired True Crime faithful for months now. I’ve listen to every single episode. She’s badazz and tell it like it is! Highly recommend!
Love it!
I look forward to the new episodes every week! I even got my husband listening! Erica’s voice is everything and the research is amazing!
Voice smooth like butter
I love Southern Fried True Crime SO much! Erica’s voice is so soothing, I could listen all day! And I love and appreciate the background she provides before diving into a story. She really sets the tone for the episode! Thank you, we love you SFTC!!!

5 out of 5
I really enjoy listening to this podcast. I appreciate Erica’s attention to detail, and her unique spin on each case/story. I listen to a lot of true crime, but Erica presents the facts & details in a way that make the case fresh and interesting, even if I am familiar with the specifics of the crime. Erica has the talented ability to dig out unknown information and facts that perhaps are not as obvious as those reported in other shows. I appreciate her attention to the victim’s life and legacy rather than simply casting them as “the victim”. She reports in a way that brings the individuality of those impacted by the crimes to the spotlight. She honors & respects them. With that being said, I also find the details of the perpetrator’s biography and history she provides to be insightful. Sometimes it helps to understand how a perpetrator became such. However, she does not excuse and glorify the horrific acts of the individual. I look forward to each new episode, and I find myself going into the archives to listen to previous episodes in between releases. Thanks to Erica & her team for providing a podcast that is full of research, unique points of view, but most of all, compassion for those whom have been & continue to be directly impacted by the crimes she reports.
One of My “Go Tos”
I have been listening to Erica Kelley on Southern Fried True Crime for about 3 years, and I can honestly say it is one of my top 3 true crime podcasts. She is passionate about the stories she tells. She does give some insight into criminal behavior (including childhood trauma, untreated mental health conditions, etc. that may have affected the criminal), provides some background information to help set the scene, and she m interjects her own feelings periodically, though never in a way that detracts from the storytelling. These are all done to create a unique true crime podcast experience. And that voice!?! Erica has a sexy, soothing voice with just enough southern drawl. Keep up the amazing work Erica and Southern Fried team, and we will keep listening!
Top notch podcast
Well researched and well told. Erica’s narrative is perfectly paced and interesting. She highlights southern crimes and gives insight into the locations, victims, and criminal minds. I look forward to new episodes and generally listen within a day or two. Highly recommend.
