    FOREVER A CRIME JUNKIE 🖤
    Crime Junkie is hands-down my favorite true crime podcast. I’ve been hooked from the very first episode! The way Ashley and Brit tell these stories is so respectful, well-researched, and seriously addictive. I love how they always center the victims and still manage to keep each episode gripping and emotional. You mentioned wanting our Twitter usernames for free merch — I don’t have a Twitter 😭 but I’d LOVE to be included if possible! You can find me on Instagram: @ryyypetersen 💕 Thank you both for what you do — you’ve truly built something special. Forever a fan!

    AMAZING
    I love this podcast! i’ve recommended it to all of my friends. I’ve almost listened to all of your episodes, and I’ve listened to my favorites multiple times! Highly recommend!!!
  • Cory Faccio
    Great but…..
    Ashley Flowers and Meg (never says her last name) are fantastic together. I’m just concerned with Ashley’s mental health and well being due to the fact that at the beginning of every story she explains how this next case consumed her, baffled or disturbed her more than any other case. She should talk to someone.

    This has been the best way for me to release some angry and try to help people solve this case in one of the cases is actually where my friends live. It’s Dorchester County with the Gospel trio
  • Cole@andrus
    Its definitely true crime 🤷‍♂️
    Good but a sometimes its just eye-roll over and over. But they do tell stories well so 4 stars

  • NewOrleansBecky
    I binge listen every day
    They r truly the best podcasters of true crime. They get right into the cases & give the facts all the way through till posting. At the end they give you ways to help victims/learn more about the case, & some times a moving “pruppet” story or uplifting “the good” segment. Their show actually helps victims, potential victims & law enforcement. I LOVE THIS SHOW!!❤️❤️❤️

    Officially Converted
    I never thought I would b a podcast person, just didn’t think it would keep my interest. I decided to listen to my first episode a week ago and I am like 29 episodes in! Officially converted and obsessed! I am so glad that I decided to listen to my friends recommendation and gave it a shot!
  • ritubbs
    Amazing Show
    I love that the hosts not only touch on the inter workings of the crime, but they also briefly touch on the legal side of cases when they can! Well done!
  • Carriecosmo
    Disappointed
    CJ does not do their due diligence to actually know the law and how it works. They spread misinformation I.e. Scott Peterson, Karen Read etc. I used to follow and love their non profit but I can’t defend listening to them anymore.
  • all is do ha do NDA do

    Inferior knock-off
    I wanted to like Crime Junkie, especially being from the Indy area, but from the start I was turned off by the strange back and forth between the main host and the woman who seems to only be there to hype the host up. It sounds like a vanity project, which could be forgiven if this wasn’t such and obvious - and very inferior- rip-off of My Favorite Murder. I get it - MFM is as awesome as it’s successful, but hearing a host prompt their dog to bark stopped me dead. REALLY??? MFM is honest, imperfect, and truly engaging because of the hosts and their interest in true crime, open willingness to grow over time, and support for victims and justice. I was not at all surprised when I heard of the major plagiarism scandal perpetrated by Crime Junkie, because it’s always been about stealing a fabulous structure pioneered by MFM with no acknowledgement or respect. If you like Crime Junkie, check out the actual original, female true crime podcast that continues to give everything it promises with proper accreditation and truly caring hosts!!

    amazing show
    so fun and interesting love the show!
  • AnonymousUser987123
    5 stars but… fix the volume
    Love the pod. Hate the volume mixing. I’m legit hearing impaired and wear hearing aids—BUT even listening in my car or Apple air pods or on my Sonos system at home on Apple Podcasts is a major challenge. Ashley, love the intimate narrator voice but your sound mixing is way too low. Volume all the way up and literally can’t hear. Then the music and your ads come on and it’s like 100x louder. It’s 2025–time to address this and fix it. PLEASE
  • Xxsimply-Jxx
    Used to be a big fan!
    So I used to be a big fan of the show but not anymore. I can’t stand Brits voice or her commentary. I can’t stand her story telling. Sorry but I’m going back to my favorite podcast “My Favorite Murder”
  • jt3thbaseman
    Apple issue
    I love the show but I am only seeing two episodes available now. Is it a glitch with Apple Podcasts?
  • Don’t Worry Abou’ it!
    Ads/e-begging
    Used to listen to this all the time. Now it’s ads galore and constant e-begging.
  • Leighanne1990
    Love this!!!
    I just found this podcast and I am loving it. Listening to this makes my days at work go by so fast. I can’t wait until I am all caught up on listening to y’all. I started at the beginning so it might take a little while lol. Keep up the good work y’all.
  • TRU3cR!M34h0L!k
    I love pruppets 🐶
    I love the work you do to support victims families and helping prevent others from gaveling to go through the things y’all talk about by raising awareness. I also just wanted to say after every episode of hearing the good I just feel a little better and I love all the cute pups on the web site.
  • K8lyn3333
    10/10 my fav😍
    Crime Junkie is my go-to true crime podcast. The storytelling is so good and always keeps me hooked. Ashley and Brit make every case easy to follow but still super intense. I could binge it all day—10/10 for sure 💜💜💜💜
  • itslilyliketheflower
    Love love
    For the people saying they’re tired of podcasters adding in their political views and that “no one cares.” Babe I care and I know plenty do. I’m so happy Ash and Brit speak out. They use their platform to do good and so happy to have made some genuine people successful.
  • Abstract Lauren
    Lots of info
    I like how detailed and informative the show is. Lots of research goes into them. My only complaint is sometimes it sounds like you both are talking at 2x speed and it’s hard to follow.
  • Crime junkie fan1☝🏽
    Love the podcast
    I’ve been listening to the podcast for a while and I love it
  • Lablady1974
    Too many Ads
    This podcast has more ads than any other podcast I have listened to. And they constantly remind the listeners to sign up for Patreon for $20/mo to get more. So annoying. Pick one or the other.
  • Junkie for crime
    Good
    Been a crime junkie for like 6 years it’s gone a little down hill but still good
  • JJSmiles7
    Love the deep dives into all things crime!
    Great information from the perspective of telling the story of the victims involved. Love all things true crime, tried several podcasts and couldn’t handle the hosts, love these two!
  • courtneyno
    Ignore the haters
    God honestly these people saying it’s too political are insane. There’s NOTHING wrong with holding poor police work accountable. It’s so insufferable that some people refuse to stand up to police corruption. Ash and Brit call it out while also applauding the police work that is done well in other cases. That’s how it should be. I’ve been listening for years and every few months some MAGA influencer always goes after this show and then they get a ton of negative reviews from people who have never listened to a single episode.

    Free Listening
    I am so happy that CJ has all free episodes on podcast streaming services. So many pods are making their episodes subscriber only. I appreciate that CJ produces free episodes (w/ ads) and also a platform to financially support them and listen to exclusive episodes.
  • dumpy durp
    It’s fine
    Not the greatest true crime podcast, but I like it.
  • AMC050390
    No more politics!
    Omg I’m so tired of hearing crime podcasters insert their political views. No one cares! NO. ONE. CARES. For everyone’s sanity just don’t even mention it. Do everyone a solid and stick to the facts and stay in your lane. Please and thanks 🙄

  • SJeany28
    Longtime Listener Disappointed by the Decline
    I've been listening to Crime Junkie since 2018. I’ve bought Ashley Flowers’ books, attended a live show, and supported the podcast for years. But lately, something has changed… and not for the better. The episodes feel rushed, repetitive, and increasingly commercialized. It’s starting to feel more like a cash grab than the passion-driven storytelling that drew me in years ago. There used to be a spark. A real connection and care in the way stories were told. That’s missing now. But instead, it feels like the focus is on pushing merch, sponsors, and paid content. As a loyal fan, it’s honestly disappointing to see what this show has become. I’m giving this one star not out of malice, but out of deep disappointment. I hope they can find their way back to what made the podcast great in the first place.
  • AmyBlue82
    Still the best true crime podcast !
    I was surprised to read that “ this show has changed “ or “ isn’t good anymore “ I can’t understand how deep people dig for traces of something offensive. The only thing I’ve noticed is the hosts are more confident which I love . Two intelligent women. Keep on doing what you do.
  • #Tweety525
    Crime addicte
    I watch a lot of crime shows and wanted something to listen to while driving and started listening to you guys and now I’m hooked
  • Jenmaybes
    Classic, original true crime!
    I have listened to Crime Junkie for a while and just picked and choose which ones to listen to. Recently decided to go back to the beginning and listen to all of them and it’s just so good. Quick and easy stories about crimes I’ve heard about and ones I never have. Unfortunately they haven’t run out of content but still a great distraction!
  • Random_person562
    Amazing!
    I’ve been listening to crime junkies for a while now! It’s such an amazing podcast with detailed (but not too detailed) information. It is also well put together and you can tell that they studied it!
  • jh25495
    The Peggy Hettrick murder
    I cannot believe the things I’m learning from this podcast. Talk about corruption. This murder was awful enough on its own. The corruption that surrounds it is mind blowing.
  • sophiiiiie150980
    Brandi Churchwell?
    I’ve always loved this podcast with Ashley and Brit. They advocate for victims and their families. So i’m very confused that they partnered with Brandi Churchwell to cover the Karen Read trial. I know this is a polarizing case and everyone is entitled to their opinion. But partnering with someone close to turtleboy who is accused of witness intimidation and who has harassed the O’keefe family on their way to court? Brandi Churchwell has been vile to the prosecutor or even the judge for the sole reason that they are doing their job. She does not match the professionalism and respect that are values all the other audiochuck hosts display.

    My review on crime junkie
    I love your stories I love to listen to your podcast on long car rides and just in my free time and just want you to know to keep going!!

    Podcast
    This is one of my favorite podcasts. I lov the prophet of the month it I on of my favorite parts
  • Bàcôn
    How is this show number 1?
    I have no idea how this show has such high ratings when it’s literally the dumbest true crime podcast there is. These two make me want to jab pencils into my ear drums.
  • Ooma753
    Great but…
    Great podcast. I’ve been a listener from the beginning. But either curse and remove the bleeps or stop cursing. The evolution of your comfort with cursing feels contrived. Overall, good narration.
  • 💟🪻💜
    ignore the haters, this podcast is great!!
    i’ve seen a LOT of reviews saying how this show “used to be good” and now it’s “too liberal” and “too woke”, but not a single one of those negative reviews EVER seem to take into consideration that, just like they’re stating their opinion, maybe the hosts have the same right to do the same thing. aside from all that, this show is genuinely good!!! my mom showed it to me around 2020, and i got obsessed! since then, i’ve explored the Audiochuck podcasts, and all i have to say is that this company is amazing. love this show, keep going!! (PS - Brit, you’re not ruining the show, people saying that are just mean, don’t pay attention to what they say!)
  • LVTmandy
    No politics wanted
    Agreed with too much politics. We listen to this because we want to hear about the cases, not political talk. We’d listen to the news if we wanted politics. Otherwise, I enjoy it
  • MrsDinwiddie
    Love love love
    Crime junkie is the only reason the podcast app is on my phone! Obsessed
