    So glad I found your show
    Sheryl, you have become my favorite podcast after discovering it. I’m a retired federal LEO and I can appreciate every episode. And your wit is the bonus. You crack me up.

    What an episode. Facts and truth should rule in shows, documentaries and movies. The idea that we are all forming opinions based on unknown facts or lies is crazy. I was one who thought the Owl …… well

    Teamwork
    Mac teamed up with Brett and Alice. This was a dream team. I did not want this episode to end. The mutual respect and genuine friendship made this episode one of my all time favorites.

    Can’t Get Enough
    I love listening to Mac. She is one of my favorite podcasters out there in Podcast land. She is entertaining, compassionate, family oriented, and cares deeply for her friends and family. Every bit of that comes across in her podcast or Zone 7. Keep up the AMAZING work Mac With this said I was sad to hear The prosecutor on Zone 7 latest episode. I use to love them until I heard their coverage of the Adnan Syed case. It’s one thing to have their take on the evidence it’s another to lie, leave out and miss quote the actual evidence. Sheryl on Zone 7 is always fighting for the correct and actual evidence to be heard. To have these people on, made me sad. Whether you think he is guilty or innocent at least give the actual evidence to make an informed decision on the real evidence, not the made up stuff they put out there.

    Nancy needs to stop talking so much about twins
    I know she loves her children. We all do. And I’m sure she’s trying to humanize herself to us. But it’s enough. Let’s focus on the victims here. It’s not always about us (or her).
  • Teef37
    Love it
    Love love love your crime roundup with Nancy Grace but why does it sound like she talks with a lisp? She doesn’t sound like that on her crime story pod
  • Mirror_Sea
    Overly dramatic
    Overly dramatic and I don’t like their accents.
  • Teon77
    Some chit chat is nice :)
    I find myself fast forwarding through way too much of it. Please focus a little more on content? Especially when NG is on

    Love it!!
    I love this podcast and the topics it covers. To learn about the realities of law enforcement and the justice system is so interesting. Also, it is a pleasure to hear the female perspective and stories of empowerment along with the difficulties of the business, I think that is important. I enjoy listening to Mak and can relate to being in the same age group and the guests are awesome. Thank you for providing this great show.

    So informative
    I throughly enjoy listen to Sheryl explain how she helps families in getting answers and in some cases justice. Very informative and educational about how law enforcement handles the multitude of cases! Keep up the great work Zone 7!

    My new BFF
    I love this podcast. I feel like I am sitting down to chat with a friend. Sheryl has the most interesting guests and stories. I enjoy hearing a law enforcement officers point of view about cases. Sheryl is so knowledgeable and informative. She has a great sense of humor. I had the pleasure of meeting Sheryl at CrimeCon 2024 in Nashville. She was just as kind and genuine in person as she is on the podcast. While she had tons of people waiting to talk to her, she focused on our conversation and was totally engaged and present. I’m going to end this episode like I always do with a quote “I have learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, people will never forget how you made them feel” Maya Angelou N.

    The Best!!! Sheryl McCollum is hands down the best interviewer and host I’ve ever heard. She cares about victims, cases, police and prosecutors.

    THANK YOU for your honest coverage/conversation on Karen Read trial.
    Thank You Sheryl for your honest coverage of just how badly the investigation into John O’Keef’s death was done. Thank you for calling out those State Troopers for the horrific job they did in this investigation… Officers as you are set the example of what it is to be a Police Officer, CSI, detective, ATF, FBI Agent, all the individuals that go into to this profession. It is the individuals like Protector that give the public a huge distrust of the entire body of Policing, no matter the agency or title each individual holds. I do NOT believe this is the first time Trooper Protector has done this type of shady job, which breaks my heart for ALL the other individuals that Trooper Protecter has testified against in the past. The words that Trooper Protecter used in his texts messages about Karen Read is disturbing, more disgusting is the FACT that Trooper Protecter’s first priority upon searching Karen Read’s cell phone was the FACT that he was looking for “nude” pictures of Karen Read, which has ZERO to do with the death investigation of John O”Keegan, and the ONLY reason that nude pictures of Karen Read were not shared within Trooper Protecter’s friends text group and work text message group was the FACT that Karen Read did NOT have any on her cell phone.

    I challenge anyone to listen to Zone7 and not fall in love with Sheryl! She is smart, she is fair, she is honest, she is fierce!! Along with humble, funny and all with fabulous Southern Accent! This is my new favorite podcast for all things true crime; cold, solved and current. I’m hooked!

She has amazing guests on her weekly podcast that draw you in and keep you hanging on to every word. Added bonus…she has the CRU (Crime Round Up) with Nancy Grace every Friday. They’ve been close friends for years and they’ll make you laugh every week! If you haven’t listened yet…what the heck are you waiting on?!

    Zone 7
    This podcast is beyond wonderful. It is so well done, so professional and so heartfelt. Sheryl really brings the human side of things to the table while still being so sharp in her investigations. Soft but tough! Her guests are truly top notch. A must listen.

  • cheeringfor54
    A must listen
    Mac brings to light past and current true crime stories. Her compassion, expertise and humor plus her southern charm will draw you in to the story. You definitely will want Mac in your ZONE7.
  • Lorrie legs
    Not funny
    I have always enjoyed your show and Nancy Grace….. but I will tell you NOTHING about the little girl dying and being assaulted under a bridge is nothing to make jokes and laugh . I know you both don’t think it’s funny , but way to uncomfortable too listen to the two of you laughing. “ ergo.”. You just can’t stop laughing. It’s wrong . Not showing that poor little girls family any respect .
  • Cera Ba
    Zone 7
    I can not tell you how incredible this podcast is, Sheryl just gets it. Every episode is right on point. I really just enjoy the interviews, the initiative and the experience she brings to the table.. love it!
  • TVPRgirl
    Who’s in your Zone 7?
    Sheryl “Mac” McCollum not only has real-world experience when it comes to the world of policing and crime, she also has a real heart. That’s why she’s taking her experience and care to the podcast world, turning to her extensive network of friends and experts in her own Zone 7 to bring attention to cold cases, debate timely topics and more. And her Zone 7 is legit-from police to legal experts (Nancy Grace, anyone) to investigators, authors and family members, Mac knows everyone. Don’t let her southern charm fool you-she may sound sweet, but she’s tough when she needs to be and a strong supporter of victims and families. Don’t miss her storytelling charm and life experience. And if you’re lucky, you may get to be part of her Zone 7.
  • ImagineThat79 (Darci)
    Great Podcast!
    This is one of my favorite podcasts! Mac is top in her field of Crime Scene Investigations. She gives great insights as well as having some great guests on the show. She is honest, down to earth and will tell you like it is with even a bit of humor along the way. This is a must listen if you are a True Crime Fan!
  • Lemon Rosemary Chicken
    My VERY FAVORITE podcast
    Do you wake up and click on your podcasts to see who has new shows? I’m looking for Zone 7. You’ll find expert opinion and story coverage from Sheryl McCollum. Lately, she’s had her “rodeo queen” bestie, Nancy Grace on the show. They rattle the cages and tell David to shut up! Don’t miss out.

    Smart Southern Women
    Thank you “Mac” for bringing your extensive experience, knowledge and compassion to a true crime podcast. Absolutely one of the best, and my favorite. Thank you and Nancy Grace both for helping to improve the image of Southern Women. I love that many of your guests are women in law enforcement. My great niece is a criminal justice/psych major in her Junior year, and I couldn’t be more proud. We are from the neighboring state of SC, and are so excited to have such amazing women representing the Deep South in such a positive and vital way. 🙏🏼

    On my absolute #MustListen list, #Zone7 illuminates the heart and soul of True Crime with long format conversations smothered in genuine authenticity. Like a Kitchen Table for True Crime, Mac gets to the squishy bits in every episode, prying open the crates holding the #RealStory behind the crimes we are fascinated with!
