A bit dry but...
This podcast is a bit dry and clinical but I like it much better than the podcasts where hosts chat it up, laugh & swear and laugh some more, droning on instead of getting down to it!...This is definitely a 4.5
I Love OUAC!
Esther was probably one of the first true crime shows I listened to! I love her show because she gets straight to the point. I love her seasons because we always know what kind of case to expect (and she doesnt cover too many cases that are high profile). But she is always surprising us! Keep it up! I look up to you so much! -Margot
Love it!!!
Perfectly done! I just discovered this podcast and joined to support ! I’m on episode #36. It’s the only podcast I have dove full into and never want it to end 💕
Great content
One of the few true crime podcasts of this style that I enjoy. Usually I find the podcasts where multiple people discuss a case to be the most engaging, but I really enjoy Once Upon a Crime. Excellent research and she often covers cases that I’ve never heard of. (I have a long work commute and spend the hours listening to true crime podcasts and audiobooks so I’ve heard a LOT of cases. lol)
I love Esther!
When I found this Podcast I couldn’t binge the episodes fast enough. I started listening at work and that escalated to me listening all the time in my car! I love how she makes the stories her own and actually does her homework! Thanks for an awesome listening experience!
I love Esther
I’m so overdue in providing a review, I truly appreciate the amount of research & thought that goes into all of the OUAC podcasts. Esthers background as a social worker adds to the podcast in its own way. My second favorite podcast is Let’s Taco Bout True Crime.
Love Once Upon a Crime!
I only started listening last year but I’m already hooked. It’s one of my favorite podcasts! You can really tell that Esther puts a lot of time and effort into each episode. I look forward to new episodes!
Love it!
Esther is great. Her voice is so clear and she always provides great details. 5 stars!
Host talks too fast!
This is a great podcast. Love the stories, but I think the host speaks so quickly that I have a hard time following. I tried slowing down the speed but it just sounded weird. I’ve never had this issue with another podcast.
Lots of original material
A really nice mix of stories you haven’t heard about before. Clear and well researched.
Huge fan!
I love how she tells the story, which is always well researched! It’s my go-to podcast when I want to hear what happened without a lot of side tracking chatter.
Holy murders.
I’m recently getting into True Crime and I must say, I get it. I get the intriguing nature of being interested. Esthers voice is also beautiful and methodically clear and cuts straight to the point without missing key evidence in each case described. Without a doubt, I’m invested and bingeing HARD
Well-researched
Great job, Esther! Long time listener, just switching to this platform. I appreciate your original content!
Thank you!
I know it’s rough out there. So many keyboard warriors want to drag down content creators for no reason but the satisfaction of being a jerk. So I want to let all the podcasts I listen to know that I love and appreciate everything you create for me (for free!) and please keep up the good work! I don’t know what my life would be like without having interesting facts, reports, and stories to listen to on my commute and at my boring desk job. Thank you!
A thorough & well done storytelling job!
Finally a podcast that covers issues thoroughly, instead of just rehashing what every other short podcast spews out. Very well done!
Love, Love, Love
I love your podcast. It’s one of my favorite. The new music is very cool. I enjoyed when it first started. I like your scripted show, but love it when you go off script and just talk about the case. Please keep up the good work!!
Best crime podcast
This is my #1 favorite true crime podcast. Esther is an amazing storyteller and really does her research. Keep up the great work!
Excellent Show!
This show is so good that Crime Junkie resorted to plagiarizing one of its episodes word for word - and you can’t get much better than that! Definitely check out the rock musician episodes, particularly the Cobain one. Excellent research and production from a host who cares about integrity.
Love this podcast and the host!
Enjoy listening to the this podcast
Great Storytelling Podcast
This is one of my go-to podcasts when I’m in the mood to be told a story. Esther has a pretty good style. Sometimes she gets a little silly, but she mostly keeps a pretty somber tone when talking about the crimes. I’ve heard of several interesting cases here that I’d never heard of before. My major complaint would be that I really can’t stand the interview format episodes, or when there is a guest. I skip those episodes completely.
Love this podcast
Absolutely love this podcast. Wish I found it sooner! You can tell how much research goes into the show and the production is outstanding. I rarely write reviews but had to for this podcast, it’s an underdog but can easily hold its own with some of the more popular true crime podcasts out there.
Among my favorites.
This is an enjoyable true crime podcast and the host is very good. It's moved up recently into my top five favorites. The episode with Jack Luna is great. I am a fan of Jack's old stuff and miss his old style. It was good to hear him again. Keep on doing what you're doing Esther!
Well Done!!
Excellent job in the Jon Benet interview. Hearing you participate in this style of podcast was very impressive. Hope you’ll consider doing more. Well done, Esther!!!!! An absolute 5 star job.
Best Crime Podcast
Love love this podcast. I love Esther’s way of telling the story and engaging you every moment of the story. The details that she finds and the way she explains them is both informative and entertaining. I just started listening to this podcast in Late November and have already caught up. Sitting at a desk all day this podcast helps me pass the days at work. I have listened to other crime podcasts but I think this one is the best.
