Compassionate and human
Long time listener, but coming from Melissa/Maurice’s episode. Thank you for always talking about them as a person, and not just what their gender identity is. Hearing the singing at the end left me in tears. I love knowing about all of these people I never crossed paths with, but now carry in my heart. Thank you, Ashley and team! 💜💛🤍🖤

Jonathan Garcia-Valladares episode
The randomness of this homicide has the feeling either a gang initiation or mistaken identity. I hope the lead Detective can get those DNA results soon and at least, have a direction to go in.

True crime waste
You know the problem with you true crime regurgitators? Aside from the fact that you profit from others misery, you add nothing of value. You are not journalists, you are not investigators. You are mere plagiarists who will never impact the space because you are too pathetically woke to address the root causes. This same chick who no doubt was screaming to defund the police in 2020, taking money out of their hands to not only protect and serve but submit DNA evidence for testing to solve cold cases, is begging us to support her advertisers (like we even listen to your ads) and podcasts so her nonprofit can get the money for DNA testing and she can get the glory. You are a walking contradiction, and quite frankly, I don’t know how more people don’t see right through your fakeness.

They?
The description of Melissa/Maurice saved me from wasting my time. Would that be two murders or just one mentally ill weirdo?

Wow!!!
This podcast very good, but it still has some flaws. I think you guys should be more like emotional instead of just being hard wow explaining your words you guys should also instead o*quote and quote* you should just make it sound like you’re actually quoting.
Gurl my back hurts now
Eye opening
Thank you so much for bringing attention to these cold cases!

Fantastic podcast!
Thank you for bringing attention to cases that may not otherwise have received the recognition they deserve. The efforts of the reporting team are much appreciated!

Let Chuck have the last word
I wait to hear your beloved Chuck’s approval at the end of each episode but I hate that an ad follows him. If possible, just let Chuck have the last word. He deserved it. Much love.

Mixed Bag
The research is good and the narrator sticks to facts and doesn’t use gimmicks. These are positives for sure. My problem is with the family and friend interviews. These tend to be self serving and not objective. Family members see things through rose colored glasses and friends seem to be trying to line up interviews. Most of the cases tend to be pretty obvious, but point out how hard cases are to make, even when you know who did it. Yeah, lots of commercials, but common among popular podcasts.

Annoying background music
OK, I’m trying to listen to the latest segment of this podcast that I usually enjoy a lot! The background music is so pervasive and annoying. I can’t even finish this episode. Is this a new thing or is it just for this segment? Please do away with this, I beg you.

OMG YESSSSSS
I love this podcast and 100% recommend listening to this. I listen to it while I do everything eat, sleep, game, play solitaire, ignore siblings, just laying down, or write this review. This podcast just helps me chill and relax. The information that you hear here and see on the website is explained so well it makes you feel like a detective yourself sometimes lol. I wish I could be just like Ashley Flowers and have a podcast and be this helpful, informative, and amazing but I’m only a teen. Hearing some of these stories will make you realize what could actually happen in the world around you. And I personally don't recommend listening to episodes before you go on vacation in that area because, well, it really doesn't help any vacation paranoia. Anyways I personally recommend listening to this podcast and any by Ashely Flowers.

The host has gotten too big for her britches
She loves the smell of her own farts.
this show used to be good
Too many ads
It’s a 30 story with ten minutes of ad breaks. Stop.

I Love This!!!
I am so in love with both podcasts this and crime junkie. If you’re ever in need of assistance, I AM YOUR GIRL!! Thank you for putting these out the cases that we haven’t heard of and giving them the recognition they do deserve!!
Alaska2Arizona
Phenomenal!!!
An amazing podcast! I just finished listening to almost all the episodes in crime junkie and needed more to listen to. This is amazing! I love how The Deck has the families and investigators and other people come into the show and talk. I also love the awareness for cold cases and minorities. Keep it up, it’s amazing!
Duolingo fan!!!
Enough with the money grab
Enough with the ceaseless ads. This podcast already lacks the sincerity that the great crime podcasts have, but now she’s shilling for AMAZON?? Gross. No thank you.

Too Many Ads
I get it. We all need money, but every six minutes of story followed by three-minute ads is too much.
House456
Eh
It’s a nice idea, but the ads are insane for how short the episodes are.

Don’t really know anymore
Sometimes people start out great and humble then they get fluffed up and it’s more about fame than about the cause. I can’t listen anymore.

Music is distracting
I love the host and I love the idea behind the podcast. I cannot listen to a full episode because the music in the background is awful. It’s totally unnecessary and it literally hurts my ears because it’s at a weird frequency. Take that out and I would definitely give this five stars.

FLUFF FACTOR: 25% (oof.)
Episode length: 48 min. Fluff, round up: 12 min. Avg time between ads: 10 min. Based on episode: 04/02/25.

Had to unfollow
This is an apologist podcast for gang members and neglectful parents. I cannot take this anymore.

Great Podcast
This podcast is great! It’s definitely a good listen, especially if you’re a Crime Junkie fan. Ashley deep dives into these cold cases with a passion that really grabs the listeners attention. And the best part of this podcast is…..there is no Brit interrupting the flow of conversation, stating the obvious, or using uptalk in every sentence.
Robert listens
Boring
This has become so dry along with the Crime Junkie pod. There are 10 minutes of commercials in a 25 minute episode, and barely any information is provided. And why is every story based in Indiana.

I love that this show is so much more than telling a story. We’re trying to solve cold cases!

Ashley is the only voice for The Deck!
Definitely can’t listen to episodes that don’t have her. This is why I stopped listening to So Supernatural. There’s tons of podcasts that have great info but the voices are what attract you. If the voices change why not change to another podcast where you can decide who you’d like to have as a host?

I enjoy the fact that you ladies are so kind to the families of the deceased, and that you’re careful not to smear their names or legacy. I love the show!

Brit just makes me turn it off
I can’t listen to Brit episodes. Both vocally and story - somehow she makes them cheesy and gross.

Just a Junkie
I listen to the Deck to get away from Brit. And now she’s on this one too. Ew
Just a Junkie
Ads galore
2 min ad intro. 5min of content. 2-3more min of ads.

So good
One of the best podcasts

Not Ashley, not interested
Brit is great too. Get this other gal outta here, I stopped listening immediately.

Best Guest Host
Just wanted to reach out and say that Kylie Lowe’s appearance as Host of the December 4, 2024 episode for Wojciech Fudali was AMAZING. Besides Ashley, she is my favorite Audiochuck Host. I would love to see a Crime Junkie episode between Ashley and Kylie. I really hope the Fudali family finds answers and closure one day, maybe as a result of this episode.

Love your shows!
But FR the ads are getting insane!!! Way too many girl! I know you want to make that $$ but sheesh!! Maybe offer a few more of your shows on you CJ app. So we don’t have to listen to alllllllll those ads! Anywho! Great work. Brit! We love you!
Jessica Diane
I can
Not near as cringy as your review. Great work people!

Turn off crappy music
The horrid music behind the entire episode is districting.
Katherine Lewin
I can’t
Im not trying to be mean but I have to let you guys know the reporter in the November 6th episode has a cringy worthy voice. It is nothing like Ashley’s warm calm informative tone.
mommamilkie
Nope
Too much of drama
Brandon James Clifford
Weirdly unscientific
Hopes DNA will be available to identify a suspect, but thinks that gender can be “self identified”. Anti law enforcement. Uses too much new-speak. Could be good but obnoxiously bad!! Heterophobic. What do you think of this review Chuck, do you approve? Chuck: “arrrooooo”. Thanks Chuck

Took me two podcasts and I ordered your books and started at the beginning of your recordings. You definitely found your calling - love everything you’re doing Ashley! My favorite podcasts!

Background music isn’t needed
The background music is tooo loud and not needed. It’s distracting and annoying. The actual podcast is good and I like hearing everyone’s stories and what’s being done to try and find them.

Disappointed in spoilers
I don’t like that at the beginning of season 1 “investigates” you reveal what the end of the investigation is; that Darlene is never found and there are no answers. Everything you said made me decide not to listen to Season 1. Also, in that same part you revealed the end of Season 2’s case about Ada! I’ve only listened to the first 8 episodes about Ada and now I know the end of that season too! I don’t know why you would include any of this info before anyone listens to your shows.

Darlene Hulse
After listening to the 3 part series on Darlene I’m full of gratitude for the work The Deck is doing on this case. Prosecutor Nelson should be ashamed of his behavior in this case. He works for the people. He owns this to the family. Those girls are victims too. What they witnessed is unimaginable.
