Reviews - Page 6 | Southern Fried True Crime

You do realize southerners have accents, right?

For all of you complaining about her accent, you obviously didn’t pay attention to the name of the podcast. I’d love to here y’all’s (yes, I used improper southern grammar) proper pronunciation. As a fellow southerner, I can’t stand people that think they are better and talk down to someone because they have a twang. I might speak with a draw but at least I was raised with manners and to treat others with respect regardless of where they are from. The ignorance, bless your hearts.

Great podcast except…..

Her voice drives me crazy; it’s like she could be doing an 800 #

Great podcast

The only problem is she doesn’t produce much new content.

I love this podcast

Definitely my favorite true crime podcast! Thank you Erica!!!!! As other reviews have mentioned, the shows are irregularly updated but anyone who is a real fan knows that Erica has some health issues. Im sure she will be back and whispering great/ awful stories to us when she is feeling better!!

Awesome!

I love this podcast!!!! Erica rocks! Update- I still love this podcast but there’s no rhyme or reason as to when she drops episodes and there’s always some lame excuse why she hasn’t. It’s annoying. Update to the update- over a month and no new episode or explanation why…

More please!

Love the host, love the cases and the respectful ways she presents them. Well written and researched. Despite being tragic topics, Erica is very soothing in her show. Knocked a star back because new episodes are so far and few between :(

Love me some Southern Fried True Crime

As a southern lady and true crimer, I LOVE this podcast. Not only are the crimes fascinating, I appreciate how Erica goes into the criminals background. Yes, people are responsible for the things they do in their lives. BUT, as we all know our environment shapes us into the person that we are today. I don't believe Erica excuses the killer, she mearly explains their lives previous to the crimes. For me, it's a must listen!

So Good

This TC pod just keeps getting better and better. The deep dives that Erica and her team did on the Peterson and Darlie Routier cases were so well done. Highly recommended.

Great podcast

I really do love this podcast which is why I give 5 stars, but the Michael Peterson story was way too biased and made it hard to listen to. Throw those out and 5 stars

Coercive Control Spotlight BRAVO!

Hi Erica. You’ve done a great job on this podcast since it began. I have really enjoyed it. Thank you so much! The latest episode, featuring a case on Intimate Partner Abuse and Coercive Control, was expertly done! I especially appreciate the credit given to Laura Richards for her hard work on Coercive Control recognition and the role it plays in Intimate Partner Abuse and, particularly “Murder in Slow Motion!” Thank you, Erica! And please continue the great work you are doing on this and the Dirty Money Moves podcast! You are amazing! Yes, things have been getting a little political lately, which really irritates me since we’re talking True Crime. But overall, Erica still impresses me with insights and information not discussed on other shows. Great job on Staircase. Keep it up and maybe edit out some “woke, I live in California now” stuff. ❤️

Editing Has Fallen Off

I know it cannot be simple to edit a good 2+ hours of recordings and I do enjoy the podcast but a lot of the latest episodes have been edited horribly. Sentences are cut off and never finished, she’ll announce a commercial break and never go to commercial, whole segments are repeated, one episode even had a sudden loud noise that made my ears start ringing. Overall it’s distracting and can sometimes make the storyline a bit confusing.

Great podcast

I love Erica’s voice and the subjects she chooses to cover. Her research is in-depth and her commentary is well thought out and informative. This latest “Neverending Staircase” series is a banger! Great job Erica!!

One of my top 3

This has consistently been one of my top 3 pods for years. Thoroughly researched. Pleasant voice/pace. I generally agree with the personal viewpoints of the host. I especially appreciated the recent series on the Kathleen Peterson case and that Erica has taken the very unpopular stance that Michael is innocent. She’s got the facts and evidence to back up her opinion and it’s nice to hear this case covered from this POV. Ignore the whiners in these reviews complaining that it’s “too woke”. Erica has been consistent with her views and opinions and they’re reliably empathetic and compassionate. If you think there’s something wrong with that, you should take a long look at yourself.

Best podcast I have ever listened to!

This is so well researched! I just finished the episode about the Texas beauty accused and jailed for killing her husband, and the podcaster did an amazing job researching EVERYTHING about the background!

Top notch…Love this podcast!!!

The presentation of these cases is very enjoyable, whether you're familiar with the stories or not. You can really tell that a lot of work went into researching each episode. The narrator's accent and pacing really set the tone quite well, too! (I have to admit that I sometimes look forward to hearing Erica’s opinion…her delivery is especially suited for certain topics.)

Epic Experience!!

Erica Kelley is a gifted storyteller. She does her research and delivers a well-balanced tale, episode after episode. And her voice! It’s grits and molasses, with a dash of down-home wit and a touch of Tennessee whiskey. Delicious! She covers stories that might or might not be well-known. If you think you already know the story, it’s still well worth a listen — because, I promise you, you’ve never heard it told like this!

One of the best podcasts on True Crime

Absolutely love this podcast! Always extremely well written, engaging, and well researched! The episode ( Part 1) on the Never ending Staircase Murder of Kathleen Peterson is Top Notch! I have seen both documentaries on the trial of Michael Peterson and this Podcast provided additional details those two documentaries missed. Looking forward to Part 2. Keep up the great work!!! You rock!!!!

Honestly cannot believe it took me so long to find Southern Fried True Crime! I’ve been a true crime lover for many years. So thankful for all the hard work that goes into this one. Erica is awesome and the way cases are researched and presented is top notch.

Wonderful!

I have been listening to SFTC for years now! Erica and her team do an amazing job of presenting ALL the facts.. telling the victims stories with respect and grace..her soulful southern voice brings such gentility and sass to her story telling- the way only southern women can do.

Great show

I really like this show. It’s not without its quirks: there are errors in the editing where you hear both takes of a phrase or sentence that was re-recorded, and the script sometimes repeats itself more or less verbatim at different points of the episode. Those peculiarities notwithstanding, it’s well researched and delivered in an almost soothing tone. Very interesting look at crime that goes beyond the best known cases thanks to its focus on a specific region.

Please leave politics out…

Please leave politics out of your commentary. I do enjoy your podcast (and love your southern accent) but admonishing people politically is unnecessary and inappropriate. I’m listening to these years after they were recorded and some of your commentary, though it aligned with the information being (prematurely or even mistakenly) disseminated at the time, isn’t exactly accurate in hindsight. There’s enough political enmity spreading in this country. Please stick to crime podcasting and leave your after-podcast political commentary out of it.

Southern Comfort

If you love true crime and not the mindless chitchat, this is the show for you! Erica has a soft southern voice that makes that horror just slide into your cerebellum. She is insightful, well researched, and definitely shows a kindness towards the victims that I truly appreciate. Lend her your ear and you won't be disappointed!

Best podcast around!

I listen to several weekly podcasts & without a doubt SFTC is the best! I love that Erica gives background information on the area the crime happened as well as the people involved. It helps give understanding to why such crimes may have happened. You can tell that all involved with putting the story together really care about getting the truth out there. While some do not want to hear about the suspects past I truly enjoy it. I like to try to see if I can pick up on something that may have triggered this person to become who they are. For example possible damage to the frontal lob or were they abused as a child.

Great podcast

I love this podcast but Erika Kelley needs to consider how often she laments that women will not be able to become mothers or grandmothers. Not every woman is destined to procreate and please check this, especially in your closings.
