Come back

Hello Erica. We hope all is well with you. We miss you. I check just about everyday to see if you’re back. Please take care. Please come back.

One of my absolute favorite podcasts!

This is one of my all time favorite podcasts. I love Erica’s attention to detail, and her respect for the victims and their families. I also appreciate her nuanced take on corruption, botched investigations, and so forth when it’s relevant to the case she’s presenting. There are very few true crime podcasts that still show compassion to the victims, but Erica really does each episode! I hope Erica gets better quickly — and of course that she takes all the time she needs to recover. We’ll be respectfully waiting for the next drop and can’t wait until she’s back!

Don’t Get The Popularity

I’ve been listening to this podcast for a long time because I enjoy the stories, not the delivery. Her voice truly sounds like she is reading from a piece of paper and she uses a lot of words incorrectly. Still waiting on Part 2 from a Part 1 that she promised would be forthcoming. I am unfollowing. Also agree on the number of ads.

1 of my Fave podcasts!

So great! Such interesting stories! Great story-telling!! Where’d she go? Again? Darn… Is it bcuz of 🍎 stealing money out of the pockets of creators? As if they their billions in profits isn’t enough for them? Grifters and Highwaymen that’s all they’ve become!

Good Show But…

I love the way she presents the story, straight to the point. However, the audio is way less than to be desired. Wish it was better quality.

Love the show, hate all the commercials.

I absolutely love this show but I can’t help but notice it has FAR more advertisements than any other true crime podcast I’ve listened to. I usually skip over them, but when I’m in the shower or doing dishes it’s not as simple since my hands are too wet to skip forward.

Erica kills it

Nicely done. Your way of presenting information to us listeners is spellbinding and I find that yours is my favorite crime podcast. I like how you keep it clean, and are respectful of victims and their families. Thanks to you and your researcher for all your hard work. Makes my daily chores go by faster as I listen.

Excellent Host

Erica has such a way of weaving the tales she covers. She is so gifted at painting the picture of someone’s life in an honest yet compelling way. That’s what keeps this listener coming back!

Love this podcast

I absolutely love this podcast. Erica and her team really do their research and make sure the information they’re presenting is accurate. My only qualm is the amount of advertisements. I understand why they are in there so I try not to complain. Keep up the good work, Erica!

Too many ads

I like the show but there’s way too many ads. It seems like there’s 4 minutes of ads every 5 minutes. I always end up turning the podcast off because of this.

Well researched

Well researched which I like and appreciate. A lot of true crime podcasters don’t even bother to do this but Erica does. She really cares about the victims. I do prefer the excellent scripts written just by Erica herself because it’s in tune with her spirit and personality. The collaborative script writing just isn’t her and loses some of the engaging qualities that define Erica’s writing. I can tell when the script was written wholly or partially by someone else. I also want to address a disgusting comment on here written Feb 27, 2024 by gardenfairy86. Talk about a racist, this commenter certainly is. Basically telling Erica Kelly that because she’s white she doesn’t have a right to share true crime cases about blacks. People like this dont even deserve a voice. Pay no attention to such ignorant comments.

I always have my mind made up…

When it comes to guilt and innocence in true crime stories I pretty much always have my mind made up. However, Erica’s research and following narrative has made me think, stop and consider, and occasionally left me wondering what was the right thing to see that justice was realized. So thanks! This has become my favorite tc podcast.

Excellence

I love this podcast! I grew up in Nashville and enjoy Southern crime and history. Erica thoroughly researches each podcast and has the gift of weaving the story together in a coherent matter. In other words, her shows are easy to follow, even the complicated crime stories. My only negative comment is that I can’t stand background music on any show but I’m just like that. It’s not going to stop me from listening…I just try to tune it out.

My favorite southern belle

I still love this podcast so much that I don’t mind skipping the ads that come up after every 3-5 spoken words.

The best!

I am from Arkansas and it’s not often that I hear a podcast covering a case from my state. I love the south and I am familiar with the unique crimes prevalent here. I love Southern Fried True Crime. Erica’s accent paired with her first hand knowledge of the south is the cherry on top of her excellent story telling.

210

I’ve been a long-time listener and I feel episode 210 is probably some Erica Kelly’s best work, second behind The Ballad of Zack and Addie. *chefs kiss and mad respect*

Well-researched and narrated

The episodes of this podcast always seem thoroughly researched and fairly presented. The narrator is one of my favorites. She speaks at a pace that is measured without being stilted, and is easy to understand.

Must Follow

This is actually my first ever podcast, yes I know I am behind the times! Lol Southern Fried did not disappoint! Erica has a great listening voice! I love her take on the episodes and her honesty and wittiness! I also appreciate the way she gives as much honor and respect to the victims and their families as possible, while still giving me the info I need as a True Crime Junkie. I would definitely recommend this show and look forward to every episode!

Just ok at least for now
