  • So sad….

    I understand personal life changes but the amount of episodes have been significantly cut back and I’m just sad about it. Keeping 4 stars because when there is an actual episode, it is good.

  • Is it just me?

    I feel like Charlie used to make a fight to try not to show or insert her opinion into stories. Let us make up on online with her, giving us the facts, but that seems to have changed lately or is it just me? I can definitely feel her activism and opinion.

  • My all time favorite podcast.

    Crimelines has been my favorite true crime podcast for a long time, and Charlie is truly in a league of her own.

    What keeps me coming back is how much care and integrity she brings to every case. She digs into court records, speaks with victims’ families and friends, and takes the time to understand the full story. Her research is intentional and thorough, never feeling rushed or sensationalized.

    Charlie doesn’t just tell stories, she investigates them. She often covers cases that don’t get ... more
