Great pod

But that weird slow repetitious background music has gotta go.

I’m ashamed as a born and raised Southerner it took me so long to listen to this podcast but I’m so glad I did. Erica’s episodes manage to be objective, yet meaningful, and she never forgets to center the victims in her stories. I also enjoy how she gives background information about the towns where her cases take place, it gives important context to what the victim’s lives were actually like. Although she protests making her multi-part episodes (for good reason), I’d listen to an entire serialized podcast in her honey-smooth voice. Frankly, it’s refreshing to hear someone discuss people and places in the southeast US without collapsing into caricature.

Andrew Johnson

I stumbled on this podcast and love it. The stories, attention to detail, and delivery are great. One note on episode 32. Tennessee’s own President was Andrew Johnson, not Andrew Jackson.

Good southern show buttt

I’ve been listening to your show for years and I do love it. But the whole time I’ve been listening I’ve never heard a show about Hispanic/Latino victims. I would appreciate if you were to diversify your show in that way. Thanks for what you do!

Hands down my favorite show

This is my favorite show by far, I love how Erica doesn’t sugarcoat anything and is so down to earth.

Ain’t no sugar-coating these crimes

Love me some true crime and I like it even better when it’s told by someone that has the same kind of accent as my own. It’s very interesting, terrifying and sometimes heartbreaking to hear the in-depth coverage of crimes that happen in my neck of the woods.

Best podcast (BEST) - most annoying adds

Truly the absolute best true crime podcast!!! Love every episode!!! Cannot tolerate the annoying ads. They are extremely loud and jarring. We’re right in the middle of Erika’s fabulous story telling, wrapped up by her smooth voice and attention to just the right details, and then bam, out of nowhere, a loud ad yelling at me about some online casino. It really disrupts the rhythm of the story.

Fantastic

I’ve been listening to you for a long time and I have never left a review. Well, it’s about time! I realize how important it is to leave reviews so as to get the word out about what a fantastic job you do. I like listening to your southern voice being that I am from Minnesota. It’s soothing. I love true crime podcasts because it brings awareness to us of the evil in the world and help fight crime…so as to lessen human suffering.

My Favorite Podcast

I have been listening to SFTC for quite awhile and I cannot say enough good things about it. Erica Kelley and I are the same age and I admire her so much. We have had similar things happen in our lives. The way she honors the victim and their families is so beautiful. Her storytelling is top notch. My absolute favorite podcast.

If you love true crime, this podcast is for you!

This is, by far, my favorite true crime podcast. The way she tells the stories keeps your attention. She also researches so well she’s able to share lots of details and really dig in to the truth. And her wit is fantastic! Thank you so much for this gift of a listen!!!! Y’all take care!

The best,

If you’re one of the negative reviewers because of politics, that says more about you then the podcast, it’s part of the story obviously.

Thank You

Long time listener. I apologize that this is the first time I’ve rated your show. Southern Fried True Crime is all around excellent. Thank you for your latest episode which addressed gun violence.

The best true crime

Of all the true crime podcasts I listen to, Erica does the best research, analysis, and presentation that I have heard. She is smart, and witty when appropriate. If there’s a true crime story I want to hear about, I definitely want to hear what Erica has to say about it.

Great Listen

I found this podcast while looking up podcasts about the Sellerstown bombing. I decided to listen from the start and wow! I was sucked in at the first episode. Thank you for sharing these stories. C- Ash,NC

Southern Storytelling

I enjoy this podcasters storytelling. I have lived in the south my entire life and I enjoy hearing about the cases discussed on this podcast. Some I have heard of. Several I have not. I like how well thought out the order of telling is put together. You can tell she takes time and puts effort into her cases.

Very Refreshing

So glad to have come across your podcast. It is very refreshing to be able to just listen to you podcast. You tell the story no comedy.

NA

I like the stories but the personal (somewhat judgement) commentary is frustrating and kind of annoying. I don’t need to know your take on a man cheating on his pregnant girlfriend. I think those things can go unsaid. I’m listening really for the story, for the details of what happened in each death. Not that you think “once a cheater always a cheater”. Other than that I really like the show and I like the setting of the scene that happens at the beginning—the description of the area really helps you see the story take place. Thanks!!

Fav podcast

Live when the new episode drops. Except way too many ad breaks. Episode 182 had like 4-5. It’s hard to stay interested

I love it but why better help

I really love this podcast. It’s definitely one of my favorites. But I cringe every time I hear a better help advertise. Better help is not real therapy they have law suit (Milberg's lawsuit). They use real therapist picture but when you click on them there available than you have to use one of the other “ therapist “. Most of there therapist do not have proper credentials or even licenses to practice. They also sell your personal information form the survey you fill out to 3rd party without disclosing it. I wish she wouldn’t partner with them so often.

True crime perfection!

I just finished episode 44, about the terrifying wooded rapist .Such a a good episode! Very interesting, well researched and, omg the production and overall vibes is top notch. The show do an incredible job with the portrayal of the victims of these horrible attacks. The incredible strength and intelligence of the women this monster targeted is mind blowing. Super creepy perpetrator, as mentioned in the pod like GSK, or East area rapist before he sadly escalated to murders. I’m sure the survivors in this case is the reason this rapist didn’t. Oh my goodness! Five stars, no question!

Favorite!

I am a huge fan of Southern Fried True Crime and Erica!!! I love how she tells a story. I love her voice and her southern ways. It is my favorite podcast ever. I have heard every episode back to 2019. I listen every night when I’m going to sleep. Please keep up the great work. I also love that she isn’t trying to be comedic like some other annoying podcasts, she takes it very serious and I love her compassion. She seems like a very nice person. Great job!!

Background music

Please stop with the new background music. Definitely not a good change.
