"Chilling, entertaining, suspenseful. won’t lie, sometimes some of the stories can be too gruesome or too much for me. The episodes are not long at all compared to other podcasts and every minute will leave you filled with suspense."

"In a way, Crime Junkie is not just about crimes; it is also about two friends connecting over something they love. Sometimes that thing is crime and sometimes that thing is dogs. Either way, connection is precisely what gives the show its appeal. Since the proliferation of the internet, communities of fans have found each other in ways that keep them from feeling alone. Flowers’s informality and Prawat’s reactions make the show feel accessible and reminds listeners that the hosts are a part of their same community."

"I found Crime Junkie... it's ranked like #3 in the country or something. I started listening to that... I'm a HUGE crime documentary person - especially when you talk about murder. So crime junkie just made sense. I also like that they talk about murders that aren't so high profile, or widely talked about. The way they tell the story about the murders is really good too... podcasting is a total skill…"

"They did a great job, but didn't offer any new insight about the case. They definitely have better episodes to listen too. I highly recommend this podcast if you like True Crime Podcasts!"

"I love this podcast but especially this episode that discusses the infamous Lipstick Killer from Chicago in the 1940s. The hosts do a wonderful job of taking listeners through the story, the details, and the case in general. "
