The best true crime
Of all the true crime podcasts I listen to, Erica does the best research, analysis, and presentation that I have heard. She is smart, and witty when appropriate. If there’s a true crime story I want to hear about, I definitely want to hear what Erica has to say about it.
Great Listen
I found this podcast while looking up podcasts about the Sellerstown bombing. I decided to listen from the start and wow! I was sucked in at the first episode. Thank you for sharing these stories. C- Ash,NC
Southern Storytelling
I enjoy this podcasters storytelling. I have lived in the south my entire life and I enjoy hearing about the cases discussed on this podcast. Some I have heard of. Several I have not. I like how well thought out the order of telling is put together. You can tell she takes time and puts effort into her cases.
Very Refreshing
So glad to have come across your podcast. It is very refreshing to be able to just listen to you podcast. You tell the story no comedy.
NA
I like the stories but the personal (somewhat judgement) commentary is frustrating and kind of annoying. I don’t need to know your take on a man cheating on his pregnant girlfriend. I think those things can go unsaid. I’m listening really for the story, for the details of what happened in each death. Not that you think “once a cheater always a cheater”. Other than that I really like the show and I like the setting of the scene that happens at the beginning—the description of the area really helps you see the story take place. Thanks!!
Great show
I have been listening to your podcast and it’s great. Seems to be more commercials lately.

True crime with respect and compassion and just enough attitude. Please listen. You won’t be sorry.
Fav podcast
Live when the new episode drops. Except way too many ad breaks. Episode 182 had like 4-5. It’s hard to stay interested
I love it but why better help
I really love this podcast. It’s definitely one of my favorites. But I cringe every time I hear a better help advertise. Better help is not real therapy they have law suit (Milberg's lawsuit). They use real therapist picture but when you click on them there available than you have to use one of the other “ therapist “. Most of there therapist do not have proper credentials or even licenses to practice. They also sell your personal information form the survey you fill out to 3rd party without disclosing it. I wish she wouldn’t partner with them so often.
True crime perfection!
I just finished episode 44, about the terrifying wooded rapist .Such a a good episode! Very interesting, well researched and, omg the production and overall vibes is top notch. The show do an incredible job with the portrayal of the victims of these horrible attacks. The incredible strength and intelligence of the women this monster targeted is mind blowing. Super creepy perpetrator, as mentioned in the pod like GSK, or East area rapist before he sadly escalated to murders. I’m sure the survivors in this case is the reason this rapist didn’t. Oh my goodness! Five stars, no question!
Favorite!
I am a huge fan of Southern Fried True Crime and Erica!!! I love how she tells a story. I love her voice and her southern ways. It is my favorite podcast ever. I have heard every episode back to 2019. I listen every night when I’m going to sleep. Please keep up the great work. I also love that she isn’t trying to be comedic like some other annoying podcasts, she takes it very serious and I love her compassion. She seems like a very nice person. Great job!!
Background music
Please stop with the new background music. Definitely not a good change.
One of my favorites!!
This podcast is one of my go-to’s to listen to at work. Erica is an amazing and informed storyteller who brings light to cases most have not heard before. If you’re upset by her “bringing politics into it” and discussing race, then chances are it’s because you’re a disgusting racist. go find some white pride podcast to listen to instead and leave Southern Fried to those who appreciate it!! (: Thank you, Erica, for bringing awareness to people who desperately need it!
Awesome
I just found this podcast and I love it. I’m from Mayfield,KY and I enjoyed the way your portrayed the Jessica Currin case.
The Alday Family Murders
Erica is an amazing storyteller who uses compassion and empathy when speaking of the victims. She does a great job describing the events, even when they may be hard to hear. She has a soothing voice that draws you into the story. Keep up the good work!
The deep dive!
Found this podcast last week and I haven’t listened to anything else since. I’ve been playing catch up! I really enjoy the host and how she brings you the full story. If you are into true crime this one’s a good one to binge!
Great podcast
Heaven forbid someone has their “own” opinions on anything. So many haters. If you want someone without one move along. I personally love her and thankful for her passion.
Great Delivery
I’m a new listener. So glad I found you. Your voice and delivery of every story are great. I am enjoying each episode.
You freaking NAILED it today
Wow. You are so very very talented. Storytelling at it’s absolute best.
Usually a great podcast
Your podcast is one of my favorites, but the one about Rick Lohstroh felt very off. There is no such thing as mutual abuse. Rick Lohstroh was arrested seven times for domestic violence against his wife, which he perpetrated in front of his kids. He was even arrested for violence against his son. His fight for custody sounded a lot more like an abuser trying to continue to hurt and control his ex than a loving father who truly wanted to be with his kids. Deborah sounds like a battered woman who did her best to try to protect her kids inside of a sexist legal system that gives preference to men and makes excuses for men, just as you did when you blamed his violence and abuse on his stressful job. I thought you knew better than to say something like that.
Great episode!
Unfortunately if anyone looks deeper into these child shooter/mass shooting cases you’re going to find that those children are on a psychiatric medication and they do cause homicidal and suicidal ideation. I do love this podcast but I can’t stand the ignorance around what these psychiatric drugs are doing to children and teenagers.
The Best!
I subscribe to a lot of podcasts and I have to admit this is one of my very favorites. Ms. Kelly puts a lot of time and effort into each case and it shows. Not to mention her voice is so pleasant to listen to. I also like that it's just her, not a group of people getting drunk and going totally off the script. That's so annoying. I highly recommend this podcast to everyone!
ESP 176
I wondered if you veered chuckled while doing these episodes. I love this podcast
Really good true crime podcast
GREAT voice, little commentary and engaging stories which bring victims back to life a bit. Her grammar is on point and she has none of those obnoxious vocal/mouth issues (smacking, licking her teeth, audibly swallowing, etc). So on top of being a great storyteller and researcher, she SOUNDS good. Five stars for me.
Great podcast!!
Love how this podcast gets to the point! Great storyteller!! Absolutely amazing!!!
