    Should actually be called Murder in Texas.
    I have been listening from the beginning and I love all the stories that have been told. My only thing is that they should really change the name of the podcast to Murder in Texas. Since this is always the state they focus on. No story's from a handful of states,which is what this podcast had in mind when it started. Love it still but would love to have them branch out again.

    Best Podcast and YouTube channel!
    I’ve been a long time listener of the podcast, they always provide facts that go with the story and tells them very well. Along with Colin’s YouTube channel The Paranormal Files, amazing! Love from Colorado!

    Great story telling!
    I don’t normally write reviews but I started listening to this podcast this past week or so and I really like how they present the story. Well rounded, audio from events etc. Just finishing about Uvalde. I was in tears. I’ve come away learning more about that day. They do a great job!!

    A Must-Listen for True Crime Fans!
    Murder in America is one of my favorite podcasts! The hosts do an incredible job putting each story together, weaving in just the right amount of detail to keep you hooked. They cover a wide variety of fascinating and well-researched cases, many of which I hadn’t heard of before. Their storytelling style is engaging and respectful, making it the perfect listen for true crime fans. I look forward to every new episode!

    Phenomenal
    My co worker Tameka turned me on to your podcast I must say I had hesitation at first because I already listen to a few and I thought it would be similar but NO WAY I am so glad I listened and I am a HUGE FAN you both are amazing and the sound effects are amazing and fitting. The way both of you narrated the stories are so good. I will definitely be starting from the beginning, but can’t wait to pat 2 of the Yates story. Keep up the good work you two.
  • rachel eli
    Such a good detailed podcast
    I love the way Colin and Courtney explain everything in this podcast, very thorough.
  • Jacquie from Marin
    Perfection!
    Love this podcast. It’s so thorough and well researched with no small talk and their voices are nice and soothing! It’s a favorite for sure!
  • Samyo22
    They only cover like 5 states
    The podcast is called murder in America but it should really be called murder in Texas and California. They only actually cover murders in a few states, so I would recommend changing the name of the podcast because it doesn’t make sense if you don’t cover murder in other states.

    The best
    This is one of the best true crime podcasts I’ve ever listened to. Always factual and interesting while being respectful of the victims. I also love that a lot of the stories aren’t commonly known.
  • NotDreysonS
    Amazing
    I have listened to many true crime podcasts and no one does it like them. I feel connected to the story and this is a podcast where I actually feel emotion and sorrow. This is easily one of the best podcasts out there
  • trinscott08
    5 star!
    I love the way you two present true crime. I even got upset reading some of the comments from other people and how rude they are 🥺 I binge listen quite a bit and I can tell the difference in quality from when you guys first started to the quality today. It’s only gotten better when it was already great! True crime podcasts are not just about the presentation but shedding light on cases/topics that may be uncommon. And i personally think you guys do both. I will continue to listen while i work, run errands, clean, etc. ❤️🫶

    Great show!
    I just started listening and I am so impressed by this show. I feel that each episode I have listened to so far has been done with such care and details.
  • eschroe3
    Wow
    The 9/11 episode was done beautifully. I was moved to tears and kudos to you both for doing it so well.
  • Tarbysmom
    Skip it - many better ones
    There are so many mispronunciations, wrong word usages, and poor grammar per episode I just don't think I can listen anymore. I started writing them down but they just occur too often for me to keep up. Careless careless careless – they don't look up the names of people/cities/businesses to find out how to pronounce them - can't even pronounce normal words with the proper inflection. And I'm not remotely interested in how they think each case relates to themselves. They need to take podcast lessons from Mr. Casefile. Episodes are poorly written, poorly researched, poorly delivered – I have to be done with them now otherwise I'll lose my mind. The subject matter is the only thing interesting and the only reason I have listened thus far.
  • Chachaeee
    Please learn correct grammar.
    I am BEGGING Courtney to learn correct grammar. She never gets he/him, me/I, or she/her correct and it’s absolutely maddening. The content they put out is great, but I genuinely had to stop listening because of this. “Him and his wife did….” “My husband and me went to…” It’s crazy to have a podcast and make dozens of grammatical mistakes every single episode.
  • Anniejo212
    Absolutely the best true crime podcast!
    I love you guys so much!Once I found this podcast I couldn’t help but binge all the episodes. Now I anxiously wait for a new episodes every week. Thank you for what you do and thank you bringing such interesting and in-depth information to true crime enthusiasts like myself!
  • Joto Breath
    Give it up for my man Dickie Moans!!
    Kick it one tyme Dickieee!
  • Not True Crime
    Why does she whisper?
    Literally the worst podcast I’ve ever listened to. Copy/paste reporting at its finest, improper grammar, and weird whispering!
  • gagegirl14
    Amazing podcast
    The 9/11 episode was the most moving thing I’ve heard. I was only in 1st grade when this happened but I remember it so vividly and this moved me to tears.
  • ShaunaleeD
    Best Murder Show
    I’ve scoured the other podcasts and this is the best. They go into more detail, don’t fill time with aimless chatter and give listeners what they came for. Where y’all been the last few weeks? Don’t have anywhere else to turn at the gym. 😁
  • WilsonAbrasia
    The best podcast
    The best true crime podcast I have ever listened too. I have been hooked since I heard these two voices 🫶🏽💕
  • Epicstewart
    Straight forward. No fluff.
    I love this podcast. Both hosts deliver the stories in a straight-forward manner with no goofy banter and interjected. Very meat and potatoes and I mean that as a compliment. An absolute must for any true crime fan.
  • TaraBaccus
    CTE
    Chris Benoit’s problem was CTE, not steroids. In fact, many of the cases you cover have been caused by CTE, and y’all refuse to mention it. Ignoring the problem of CTE is what has caused it to not be spotted and dealt with properly for years. Also, y’all should learn to speak English.
  • gahsjdi
    Love this couple
    Such a great podcast. Soothing voices and very detailed stories. No personal banter back and forth. Love it!
  • dedhed8
    Unreal!!!
    I just listened to the 9/11 episode. Even though it’s been over 20 years, I relived that day with this episode. I heard recordings that I had never heard. Very moving.
  • DaddyKnowsBestReviews
    Creepy places
    Hey that creepy places was a lazy attempt at an episode. Gunna be gone for a few weeks and come back with that? Nice try.
  • leslie_will
    Hard pass
    If you enjoy loud, obnoxious background music and sound effects, improper subject/verb agreement, poor grammar, mispronunciations, factual errors, sensationalism, gratuitous descriptions, juvenile writing, incessant editorializing, and glorifying murderers, this is the pod for you.
  • EdmundsRachael92
    LOVE THIS PODCAST!
    Hands down BEST true crime/murder podcast I’ve ever heard! They have such soothing voices, it just draws you in! Love everything about this podcast!
  • Jordanellice
    THE BEST EVER
    THE BEST murder podcast I’ve ever listen to! They really know how to tell & story & keep me invested! I’ve recommended so many people this podcast. 10000/10
  • bfullm
    My Favorite True Crime Podcast
    I am a huge fan of true crime, so I was pleasantly surprised when I came across Murder in America. I enjoy the stories that are shared, not to mention the storytelling & sound effects that are phenomenal. I love the way the hosts tell these stories - unlike the cringy hosts of Crime Junkie. 5/5 stars!
  • CAinOH
    Good show. Could be great!
    Detailed coverage of very dark material. Kudos on that. But having said that, I’d advise skipping the epic soundtrack music. Listeners don’t need the story of the Luby’s massacre set to what sounds like music from a Lucasfilm production. It is a tad disrespectful to the very real victims, and just not needed. But, again, overall a good job.
  • A.M-Diop
    The best
    This is by far the best true crime podcast out there. This is the only show that I had to turn off because the subject matter was so disturbing. They do not gloss over the uncomfortable parts, give “trigger warnings” (eye roll) or censor the raw human depravity like others do. Their calm storytelling, sound clips, brutal truth, and sound effects make it a fully immersive listening experience. It’s not for everyone but it is definitely for me.
  • a2willie
    Grim Reaper episode
    My very first time listening to this podcast. An entertaining show…but right off the bat in this episode, they said Detroit is in “Northern Michigan.” Michigan is a northern State, but Detroit is NOT in Northern Michigan…it is in SOUTHEAST Michigan. It bothers me when research isn’t what it should be!
  • tml43
    Awesome
    Superb along with human monsters, my podcasts collection is complete. Colin has Conspiracy Files and I occasionally listen to the haunting podcast as well. No I have to rant, if you are not satisfied with Courtney and Colin why continue to listen to the podcast. Myself and millions of others love ❤️ this podcast. So stop being jealous of their success back off.
  • jamesavery1
    Good stories
    Good crime podcast overall, my only complaint is I think the hosts repeat themselves too much! Otherwise the storytelling is good and I think the hosts balance each other well
  • 193739402729495
    New favorite!
    Love everything about this podcast, the information is clearly and factually told in such a beautiful way to honor the victims and tell their stories.

    Amazing storytellers

  • Hkhm07
    Listen every week!
    The best storytellers out there! I listen every week and tell all my friends about this show! Please tell the story of Oliver Crook Haugh, you guys will do it right.
  • GLikestoKnit
    Justice for April Holt
    My heart goes out to April Holt’s family. It was devastating listening to these buffoons with no knowledge of the law taint evidence in the name of a podcast. I hope the hosts educate themselves in order to avoid devastating instances like this again.
  • PhillyK16

    BEST true crime podcast
    I listen to a few true crime podcasts and love them all but you guys are top notch in this genre!! You two work very well together and give us the listeners an amazing view/understanding of each crime you talk about i especially like that yall also include news reports, voice recordings with people that are involved and such! Keep up the great work 👏
  • Fungi fungus
    Last podcast
    Colin’s acting skills are horrible!! Just stop 😂😂😂😂
  • Karaski24
    Paranormal stuff is annoying
    **** Do you guys even listen to your episodes before releasing them? Horrible editing on almost every single episode. Please outsource this to professionals. I started listening to the old podcasts and all of the paranormal talk at the end of every single episode is annoying, but still very good podcasts with lots of effort put in to them. I would listen to dedicated paranormal podcasts if they ever put them out.

    Phenomenal
    One of my favs. So much care and detail go into each story.
