My Absolute Favorite Poscast
I listen to a lot of true crime podcasts and this one is hands down my favorite. Erica is so thorough and unbiased in telling these sad stories. Highly recommend!

I love this podcast!!!
Great true crime stories, & the host’s voice & accent are incredibly soothing (I know that sounds odd since she’s discussing sometimes gruesome murders!). As a Memphian, I love her references to Tennessee & her stories about murders in our state.

Insightful
I really enjoy how Erica researches the regions to add context and history to settings of some of these cases. It really helps set the scene and aids her awesome way of telling the stories of the cases she covers.

Great storyteller
On the edge of my seat, easy to follow, respectful to victims. No banter, all good storytelling!

The best storyteller
This is my favorite podcast to get stuff done to. I get so into the story I forget I’m working. I wish there were more episodes released each week.

Best Podcast of the South
Great Podcast! As always, I can’t wait for the next episode! Thanks Erica, keep up the great work!

One of my top 3
This is an amazing podcast! When anyone asks for suggestions this is one of the true crime ones I always suggest! Erica’s voice gives me southern summertime vibes on those slow hot days!

Best Ever.

Absolutely the BEST
I LOVE this podcast! Awesome storyteller and so thorough on facts and research! Tells you the whole story while keeping you engaged, wanting more! A 5++++ for sure!

Excellent podcast
Love this podcast! It’s clear that Erica puts in the effort in her research. She definitely has southern storytelling gene, and I love her point of view and how respectful she is of the people in her stories. It’s apparent she tries to see the good in everyone.

Such a great show!
I absolutely love this show! Erica does a superb job explaining the ins and outs of the crimes she’s chronicling and makes all the participants (victims, the guilty, and law enforcement) all human and not just names in the page. Add to that the Southern twang and sense of humor and it is absolutely the most enjoyable time when I’m listening in my car. Keep up the good work Erica!

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Love this podcast ! Love Erica and the information her and her team dig deep to inform the listener on each episode! This is one of my favorites and will continue to listen. Keep up the amazing work as always ❤️❤️❤️

Outstanding
I listen to this podcast so often that Erica’s voice is a comfort for me when I am feeling anxious, especially as I progress through my pregnancy. Erica, Haley and the others who work on this podcast put in an unmatched effort getting the facts of each story straight, and tell each story with respect for the victims and their families. As a native daughter of the South, I like being able to hear about events that took place right in my metaphorical backyard, and it’s a bonus to learn more about the geographic location as Erica sets the scene for each true crime story. I also like that listeners can suggest cases and that Erica takes those suggestions into consideration! Thank you Erica & Co for your efforts and keep up the good work!

True Crime Done Right
Erica Kelly does it right! She tells the story in a meaningful and respectful way. We learn the background of the offender and the victim to humanize them outside of the crime. She sets the stage where most podcasts demonize the offenders with bias. Erica states well-researched facts and provides listeners the full picture of the area and of those involved. She sprinkles in side notes of opinion and I often find myself saying the same thing! Erica has a smooth, smoky, Southern voice that lulls me into the world she is describing, where you can almost feel the stickiness of the humidity on your skin. I listen to a lot of podcasts, but I will always come back to Erica!

One of my top favorites!
Erica not only had the most soothing voices in the podcast world she also has the most compassion. From her careful and accurate explanation of a city’s history to a the history of a the perpetrators to the devastation left behind by the loss of the victims, Erica gives them all compassion and a voice.

And that voice
Erica is a great story teller and to be a great story teller you've got to tell the whole story. It's like she's reading us a short essay/book/story. Beginning, middle, end. I love her podcast and look forward to hearing that "just like butta" voice. She always shows compassion for the victims and distain for the perps. Love her ❤️

The best podcast
I love how Erica gives details about the area. Her voice is so soothing. Keep ‘em coming girl. 🥰🥰🥰

Absolutely great!
I love this show! The research that Erica does for her episodes is amazing. Her presentation is very informative and professional. I enjoy when a new one comes out and I learn something new every time. Definitely one of the most enjoyable true crime shows out there!

Wonderful storyteller!
I consume podcasts all day every day, and Southern Fried True Crime is at the top for me. Every time I see a new episode, I drop whatever else I’m listening to and immediately start it! She’s a smart, balanced, modern southern woman and represents us well 💪🏼!

True crime at its best!
I’ve listen to so many true crime podcasts and Erica is, without a doubt, the best. She brings so many details and does excellent research. She goes beyond just the crime by giving vivid local details, and delves into the personal history of those involved and digs into the “why” behind the crime. Even if I’ve heard several podcasts on a specific crime, I will listen if Erica covers that crime because she always brings such a fresh take.

IMHO
SFTC is very well researched and carefully presented. The content is taken seriously. Erica’s voice is smooth and calming while presenting the sometimes disturbing content. Outstanding podcast and my personal favorite!

Phenomenal Story Teller
I love Erica and everything she stands for. I will thought out episodes. Her story telling keeps me coming back to listen to more and more.

My fav podcast
Literally one of my fav podcasts ever . Erica tells each story so wonderfully. She doesn’t do a bunch of chit chat at the beginning she gets right into things which for me I prefer .

High praise for this
This is by far my most favorite true crime podcast. Erica’s voice is like warm butter on a biscuit. It glides through the story told in great detail and with reverence for the subject. There’s no juvenile banter or jokes made. It’s just the pure story from beginning to end (if possible). SFTC is the only podcast I recommend.
