Very frustrating. Playing recordings is just annoying, a huge distraction when they are unintelligible. Bleh!

I have so much more to say besides I adore this podcast! But I’m short on time atm and wanted to mention the end of “mysterious death of Bethany Deaton” loops and repeats itself. I don’t know if that was an intentional Easter egg or not but wanted to mention in case!

I stumbled upon this podcast a year ago and have listened to every episode I can. I love the way these girls seem so likeable. Ashley’s voice reminds me of when I was younger and all of us girls would tell scary stories at a slumber party and Brit reminds me of me, jumping in with her detective mind and asking all the questions that come to everyone’s mind. The amazing work they have done in such a short time restores my faith in humanity. I used to call myself a murder buff but now I know I have always and will always be a crime junkie.

Wow, i have been listening to this podcast forever and i love it! The hosts tell the stories of each person with such passion and respect. It’s incredible the research they do for the show. For a future episode what if you did Albert fish? This might be a bit over requested but I thought you might find it interesting. love you Ashley and Brit thanks for everything you do<3

Hello, My name is Omar, I have been listening to the show for over a year. I started while I was driving cross country solo for a trucking co. I believe I may have listened to every episode. Also park predators and counter clock, basically I have listened to the full audio chuck lineup and I am a fan for sure. I just want to say i have been thoroughly entertained and I look forward to the new episodes as they drop. Great job and keep up the excellent content.

I listen to at least one a day! Crime junkie has become what I listen to while I travel to and from college and I just can’t get enough!

Britt has never had a relevant comment.. and please start talking like an adult! It sounds like you’re arguing with your mother. Know when to cut the dead leaves off, biggest issue with podcasts

I’m very late this party, but on a road trip from the West Coast of the US to the East Coast of Canada , I fell into this podcast as well as So Supernatural, a sister podcast. I was impressed with the level of care when telling the stories, the respect, moments of (appropriate) humor, and how clearly well researched these stories are. I found myself saying “I’ll stop for a minute once this episode is done.” And I’d keep going for 3-4 hours past that. No joke. It keep me fully engaged when I was driving through the dreary Midwest especially. I will definitely be keeping up with these ladies, but I have like 400 to binge on for the moment so. I’ll be getting on that. Highly recommend!

I used to love this podcast but it has turned into mostly being about unsolved mysteries. I love to hear them once in a while but much prefer an entire story that has been solved! I listened with my mom on a trip and she even got frustrated because almost every episode felt like it ended on a cliff hanger !

I just started listening a few months ago, I cannot get enough! One suggestion would be to be able to look at the episodes I haven’t listened to yet because after skipping around its hard to find the precious few i have left to hear! That is my only suggestion. Thanks for being awesome and not all off topic, chatty and annoying 😉🙏🏼☺️💜💚💛

I love your show so much!! I’ve been into true crime since a young age and you guys are just so awesome and you tell the stories in such a great and captivating way. I have to get my crime junkie fix every single day!! I even reject phone calls from family until I finish an episode I’m on.

Love the show, the hosts and all the stories. However, the number of ads has been growing over the years and those ads disrupted the stories so badly that I get tired of listening. Please work on the ads placements.

I just found out about your podcast 2 weeks ago and now it’s all I want to listen to! Thank you for shining light on all these stories that have been forgotten about , some took decades to solve and these families are still in mourning. I use to want to be a detective and now you got me wanting to move to Indie and be apart of your team! Keep going ladies! I pray much success for you all! Thank you for creating this podcast and giving other podcasts a chance to speak on your show. It’s amazing what you’re all doing. Hugs and kisses 💕😘

I’m obsessed with this podcast and just appreciate the hard work Brit and Ashley put into each podcast. I’m going to be so sad when I don’t have so many episodes to binge any time I want 😂

A lot of the assumed story of the real ones

Used to be a fan, now I can’t stand them

Ashley your voice has changed so much

It won’t take long for you to listen and LOVE Ashley and Brit. Their reactions to the stories being unfolded before you in a well written show are captivating. It won’t be long before you realize you’re a crime junkie! They also give actual real life situation tips to keep you safe. I feel like I gain more street smarts by listening. Thanks for all you do!

I love this show, it’s very interesting but enough with the “FULL…BODY…CHILLS” line. Brit is kind of annoying to listen to, she sounds way too scripted and her comments are not needed. I’d rather just listen to the story told by Ashley alone.

Please. For one second, imagine if all of the major true crime podcasts you listened to only reported stories about black people. And maybe one or two white people every so often. At some point, you'd wonder what's going on. That's all I want you to take from this. Please. 5 stars to acknowledge the immense amount of time and effort it takes to research, produce and edit podcasts consistently for so many years. It's great to shed light on so many stories and help bring exposure to unsolved cases. I also love the actionable tips for everyday sketchy situations. I just wish these podcasts (all of them do the same thing) would make more of an effort to talk about black people's stories. We already don't get fair treatment in life in general (shout-out to EEO laws and diversity hirings), interactions with law enforcement, the criminal justice system, etc. This pattern continues even in death. White people still get more exposure, more resources, etc. How many cases of a cute white girl going missing instantly make national news? Almost every single one. Mayors get involved, multiple law enforcement agencies chip in to help, their stories are featured on dateline NBC and America's Most Wanted. The worst part is that I know our stories aren't neglected on purpose. It's just what happens because, it's what always happens, historically. And it'll probably keep happening. I know your show has had cases involving black people. (This is the equivalent of the 'I have a black friend!' defense) I'm obviously not going to count but it's safe to estimate that probably 95% of your episodes are about white people. I get it, it's just sad to see over and over and over.

i listen every time i make a long trip it makes the time go by i absolutely love the show

This podcast has brought a sense of mystery mixed with amazing storytelling work. Great job!!

I’m an Indiana girl and love that they review a lot of cases from Indiana. Ada Haradine, from The Deck, hits close to home! Keep up the great work!!!

When I first started listening, I was instantly obsessed binging episode upon episode! I absolutely love Ashley, she’s an engaging storyteller. However the more I listen, the more I feel Ashley should be doing this podcast solo… No shade to Britt but the commentary is highly distracting — Interjecting far too often, asking surface level questions with little to no value

These people went down in quality and I’m just gonna say it. Stop with the mysterious death thing people want to hear solved murders so they don’t stay up all night wondering.

I just found this podcast I started at the beginning. Loving these stories and mysteries, many of which I’ve never heard about! Highly recommend! @lynnadams1979 on twitter ❤️

Love your show!

I found CrimeJunkie back in 2019 and completely forgot about it due to life. I recently found it again and have been listening non-stop. My mom has a small business and noticed I’ve been listening nonstop and she started making CrimeJunkie car freshies!! Thank you Ashley and Brit for the great work! Keep it up! 😊

I’ve been a fan of the show for a while but something said during the episode about Debonahi Escobar that stuck with me. The duo made this automatic assumption that fantastical accusations of assault alleged against the taxi driver were automatically true without any regard to innocent until proven guilty. They were sly about it, saying things about how perhaps he did assault debonahi but didn’t have anything to do with her disappearance, yet NO consideration that perhaps the girl who was soooo drunk that her friends abandoned her may have just been completely irrational And decided to jump out of the cab for no logical reason. I don’t know the cab driver or what really happened, however I found it irresponsible if the hosts to automatically assume these theories were absolute fact. It felt like it was more about telling an entertaining story than looking for factual truth.

First of all THEYRE SO INTERESTING! Also they help if you have problems sleeping this helps a lot I highly recommend these girls are amazing I hope this helped!!!
