I have enjoyed all of their podcasts for several years. While I disagreed with the Direct Appeal Season 2 opinions I still very much enjoyed all of their podcasts. In Spring of 2024, I disagreed with their opinions of the Karen Read Trial as I feel like so much was left out but I continued to listen. They never did a follow up on the Karen Read Trial even though they claimed it was ridiculous that all the police could not be involved even though it’s clear that a lot of shady things were going o... more
It is such a breath of the right air, hearing educated women speak on these topics. None of that "oh my God yeah literallyyyughhh" and it's so important that you don't always agree; as a listener I value that so much.
I have listened on and off for a few years now. I really want to be able to like this podcast, but I just don't. I listen to a lot of em and like every millennial woman I know my true crime. Women & Crime should be a slam dunk for me. But there's to many obnoxious things to have to look past and I find myself annoyed every time it comes on.
First, the Ads. My god, more than 25% of any given episode is advertising, and the ads repeat within the same episode. Wayfair! Wayfair! Wayfair!

I knew you both were about to PMO by not even mentioning any alternative theories in the Clancy case, even though there is plenty of medical evidence, as well as timelines that don’t match, indicating that she may not have been responsible for this crime at all. Super irresponsible of you both and you should be ashamed, especially as women and mothers yourselves.
Every episode I learn something new. Everything is well researched, thoughtful, respectful, and inspiring. Thank you Amy and Meghan!

A thoughtful true-crime show that centers on female-focused cases, pairing in-depth case storytelling with criminology theory, victimology, and the workings of the legal system. Episodes routinely analyze why crimes occur, how institutions respond, and what can be learned to prevent repeat patterns, all through a scholarly lens. Noteworthy is the reliance on two criminology professors who bring research-driven insights, accessible debate, and a commitment to respectful representation of victims and survivors. The mix of weekly coverage and ongoing “Reconsidered” updates offers both fresh case storytelling and revisited analyses that reflect new evidence or legal developments.
