The best!!
This is my favorite true crime podcast hands down. Erica and Haley do a fantastic job. I can't wait for Sunday's when the new episode is released. I highly recommend this show to anyone who loves True Crime.

Amazing!!
For starters what a beautiful and smooth voice you have when speaking. Secondly you give the victims a voice, your opinions are honest and not biased. The podcast has been my top three favorites for the last year. Please don’t ever quite!! And I hope you’re recovering well from surgery.

Top Shelf True Crime Pocast
Within a genre that’s absolutely saturated this podcast is one of the few I consider truly top tier. The research is meticulous and the storytelling masterful, respectful, and compassionate. Erica’s no nonsense personality and a voice that’s as smooth as melted butter makes this podcast dazzle. There’s absolutely not a single thing I can fault, which is why it sits up high in my personal list of top five true crime podcasts.

Love this
Erica and her researchers put so much into each episode. Each episode is accurate, empathetic, and fair. More than anything, her story telling is respectful of the victims.

Erika is the real deal…
Her slow Southern drawl sounds like home to me. She tells stories that hold deeper meaning to me because I understand all of the cultural nuances hidden within. She chooses stories from all types of people and dives deep to explain that which is impossible to comprehend.

My favorite
I discovered smthis podcast mid pandemic and I look forward to each new episode. Erica is hilarious and has one of those voices that make you think your sitting with a friend. This podcast does a fabulous job a highlighting cases you e never heard of as well as well known cases. Keep doing what you do!!

Honest, lively, heartfelt!
Ericka and her team does a great job researching cases and telling them in a way that is truthful, yet compassionate. I appreciate how she doesn’t hold back when needed, but she does not sensationalize cases for entertainment. I binge true crime pods, and this one remains at the top of my favorites list!

This Southerner’s favorite podcast

The Best
This podcast is my favorite.

Best true crime show out there
Every episode is carefully researched and beautifully presented.

Simply the best
Every show is crafted to perfection. They are well researched and give a short description of the area in which the crime occurred. That helps to understand the story. Erika’s voice is soothing and has that southern charm. My favorite podcast by far!

The best!!
Erica Kelley presents a rich story with detailed location history, taking the time to present the mood, thoughtful and empathetic, with charm and grace. This was my first introduction of true crime podcasts, and I do believe there is no other to top it.

The best
SFTC is the absolute BEST true crime podcast out there! I honestly can’t even remember how I stumbled upon it, but as soon as I did, I binged it and finished them all! I love Erica’s storytelling and her southern accent. The only bad thing I can say is I wish there were new episodes DAILY ;) Thank you Erica & Haley for your hard work to create such a great podcast!

Southern Belle Speaking Southern Crime
I love this podcast & Erica’s devotion to it. Considering I have lived in the great State of Tennessee my entire life, I love that a hometown girl is thriving y’all! Thank you Erica for your hard work, soothing voice and method of storytelling! One of my favorite podcasts to listen to! Even though Erica has the most soothing voice, she has never played the Sandman for me and sent me off to sleep. I have binged every single episode and have to impatiently wait for the next episode to drop. You are wonderful Erica!

The best!
I listen to Erica everyday! Love her show!

My Go-To Podcast!
I listen to quite a few podcast. I want one that tells me the story, gives me a quick background, & an extremely pleasant voice that has a little fire to it about injustice! SFTC gives me all of that and more. Lots of podcast I will just mark as “played” when the narrator goes way off base but never with Erica. She tells each episode with reverence for the victims and with a Southern touch of grace that you really do not find anywhere else. If you are looking for an excellent podcast that you will still be pondering a few days after listening then this is for you!

Amazing
Great Podcast! I have been listening for a WHILE now and she is the best! Sweet, southern, and sassy and right on point! She does an amazing job at story telling and getting her facts straight!

Great podcast!
I enjoy this podcast immensely! It is organized well and Erica is a natural storyteller. Too many podcasts I cannot listen to because of rambling or thought hopping, that is not the case with this podcast. Erica’s voice is soothing and I find her intelligence, her candor, and her well researched case history refreshing.

Fun and Informative
Erica and her staff do an amazing job researching and presenting each case. I’ve been listening for about 6 months and have caught up. She’s sassy yet classy.

Awesome Podcast!
Erica does a great job and has an amazing voice. I like how she gives history about the area at the beginning of each episode. I enjoy her story telling so much I am currently listening from the beginning for a second time.

Awesome!
This podcast is my absolute favorite and I’ve listened to most all of the other true crime podcasts. Erica’s voice is mesmerizing and soothing even while she’s talking about a grisly murder. She has a true gift!

Excellent podcast
I have listened to every episode. This is one of my favorite podcasts. Erica does a superb job of telling the victims story with respect to the victim. I wish Erica could release an episode everyday. Keep up the good work Erica.

Really enjoy
I enjoy Erica’s insight and unbiased points of view.

Love this show!
This is my favorite podcast. I love that Erica tells a story and shares as much info as she can. These shows are deeply researched for as much info as they can get. I love her soothing voice. I highly recommend this awesome show! I listen every week!

Great Podcast
Wonderful soothing southern voice and kickass research on the location, victims, and perpetrators! Thank you for all the work and passion you put into every episode.

Love this podcast!!!
I have listened to every episode and absolutely love them all. Thank you for pouring so much time and energy into doing this show and for being a fantastic story-teller!

Well researched and thorough
I really appreciate the effort and diligence that each episode displays. Erica is really good at making sure that listeners have as much of the whole story as possible. True crime delivered as a podcast for entertainment and information is such a delicate line to walk. Erica does it very well. There’s no sensationalization here - Erica is really good at making sure that the “real people” subjects of each of her episodes is conveyed to the audience. It’s a very good reminder that nothing happens in a vacuum; that these events are not always linear. At the same time, Erica is really good at conveying her sense of passion and outrage.

in my top 5
i listen to a LOT of true crime, and Erika is consistently one of the best in the genre. it isn’t just her soothing voice (which many reviewers i'm sure will mention) it is her attention to detail, her compassion, and her beautifully written episodes- each one is a perfectly told true story. if you’re new, start with The Ballad of Zack & Addie, or The Legend of Nellie Jackson, and “y’all take care”.

Favorite Podcast!
Truly one of the best podcast out there. From the moment I heard Erica‘s voice I was immediately hooked. The storytelling is superb. Eric is able to transport you directly into the story and listening to her is a great respite from all the troubles in the world. Thank you so very much Erica.

One of the best
I stumbled upon SFTC from suggestions from a group post on FB. This podcast is now one of my must first listen to every Sunday/Monday! Erica gives a voice to the victims of crimes that may have not received a lot of news coverage, outside their local or regional area.
