Fantastic host, fantastic podcast. I really like the thematic series! This is unique from other true crime podcasts. Keep the stories coming.
Great podcast so far but..
I have recently found this and I am truly enjoying it but I recently listened to the Laci Peterson case. Some of the comments from the ladies were insensitive and immature along with the giggling. I guess they were trying to be funny but it was not. Consistently mentioning that Laci was very pregnant over and over and over again was extremely annoying. The audience knows she was pregnant. I enjoy this podcast as a whole just some of the commentary was aggravating.
This podcast is amazing!
Once Upon A Crime helps me get through my long, mundane nights at work. Thank you Esther!
Amazing!
Amazing!
Great true crime pod!
Found this podcast through another major search for true crime podcasts on my iPhone and started listening with Episode 1. Great podcast and informative. Host does great research and gives a very detailed look into each crime. Keep up the great work!
Good show, what
Love this show; I find it’s even more interesting/easy to listen to when Esther is having a conversation with someone as it’s less scripted. Doesn’t need to be a comedy podcast but I find it goes down better when the dialogue is more organic. Overall great show, well done Esther!
LOVE ESTHER!!!!
I just love this podcast. Esther is an amazing storyteller.
Great Podcast!! I think you could bring attention to the Rhoden Family Murder
I would LOVE for you to cover The Rhoden Family Murder in Pike County Ohio. 5 family members murdered in 3 different locations. A lot of rumors of Gang, drug, Family, revenge and Mafia. However to kill them all between 2:00AM and 6 AM, removed all camera’s and footage, didn’t kill the babies, and NO ONE heard a thing! Money was not a motive because they left a bunch of money! They left no casing but shot a large amount. They New the lay of the land to escape!! Could it be related to all the missing girls in that area??? New eyes, new perspective!!
Love this podcast
Thank you for doing such an amazing podcast. It is just the facts and not a bunch of filler music. One of my new favorites.
Well done & Interesting
Great story telling, good quality, nice tone and pacing. I really like that similar stories are grouped together by chapter. Great Pod!
Love this podcast
I stumbled on this podcast from another one I listen to and I absolutely love the no nonsense telling of the information. She does a great job and great variety of cases. I've totally been binging on it and will be bummed when I'm caught up. Keep up the great work!
Great listen
Top notch podcast.
Excellent
Storytelling at its finest. An under appreciated true crime podcast.
On point
The Laci Peterson episodes were on point. Great true crime podcast!
Love her!!
Great podcast
Great job
Esther does a great job of researching and telling these stories!
Best True crime Podcast.......ever.
Esther always adds something I didn't know or hadn't heard about on every case she covers. Don't make the mistake of skipping an episode because you think you have already heard all there is to hear about a case. Also, PLEASE do an episode About Nikko Jenkins, espicially if you do a "times the sysytem failed" series. Keep on Esther'n.
Awesome Podcast!
Truly love listening to stories by Esther. So far the most memorable and loved were the segments Murder in Paradise: Murder on Palmyra, and Millionaire Murders about Ted Ammon. Keep up the GREAT WORK Ms Ludlow. Lewonda M.
Great True Crime Podcast
I really enjoy this podcast. Entertaining. I do think you should do more with your sister. The Laci Peterson episode had a more relaxed and entertaining feel, without feeling as though your making light of the unfortunate events. Either way this is a great podcast!
Story time
Esther is an excellent storyteller - I love that each chapter has a certain theme. She captivates me with the crimes she chooses to cover. I loved the recent episode w her sister.
Definitely a Winner
This podcast is well-researched and narrated in a way that’s exceptionally relatable and articulate, bringing clarity to the murky waters of its criminal subject matter. The grouping of cases with similar themes is a great opportunity to reflect upon one episode as you listen to the next. Highly recommended!
Fantastic!
I love the host and her pacing with the episodes, and the unique way she groups them. Her little asides when something particularly ludicrous happens crack me up as well.
Great stories. Good voice.
Great podcast. Good stories and a good layout. The only thing I don't like is that darn music. It makes me think the stories are in a videos game. Hopefully you find a different music loop. Orchestra, any other beat to get your mind going while you listen. Change it please. Jav Northern California
New listener
I just started listening to this show after being caught up on all my other true crime podcast. The sound is great, the story-telling is impecable. What a great show!
