    Better cases
    I am TIRED about hearing about the usuals, LORI, GABBY etc. I am asking for lesser known cases. Some podcasts just keep beating a dead horse. I dare some hosts to try something NEW or DIFFERENT!!!
  • Sparkmonster
    It’s fine.
    The background music is very distracting and unnecessary. The stories are nicely reported. Don’t dumb it down with the wannabe Stranger Things theme song.

    Everything is very well reported and as crime continues to rise in Arizona, I couldn’t think of better coverage for any of it! Thank you.

    Great podcast
    I love your podcast. The music though is so loud and distracting. I miss the first season with the rundown of the episode and then a QA. Please please fix the music.

    Dial back the ham
    The over enunciation and cloying voice stresses annoy greatly. Also needs an editor to advise host against using non-words like “dranken.”

    Amazing podcast!
    I LOVE LOVE LOVE this podcast!!!

    Sound
    This is my favorite podcast. However, I’m not sure why the background sound effects have become so distracting, please address it, it’s being OVERDONE. It should add, not subtract from the production. Please reconsider the background sound level! it’s stressful. Top notch investigative reporting and easy to listen to voices. Please give us more and longer episodes!!

    Love this podcast though not sure a good idea to listen while I run in the dark alone. When is the next Zombie Killer update? Interesting and informative of local crime. I recommend!

    Would benefit from research
    While the subject matter is compelling the reporters should do more research and get input from experts. Instead of saying I’m not sure how this or that impacts the case, or what the difference is between former law and current law, ask an expert - lawyers who practice in this area, psychological or medical experts, etc. This is interesting stuff made less good than it could be by lazy reporting.

    Too short
    Love this podcast but my only criticism is that the episodes are too short!
  • Kahn as d
    Great podcast for true crime fans!
    Love true crime. This podcast is a must follow!!
  • aftertheupdates
    Informative if you are familiar with Arizona
    Good follow up on infamous crimes that occurred in Arizona. Like many podcast hosts the reporter’s tone can be a little light for the subject matter and includes too much about her reactions and feelings. But overall it’s entertaining.

    Work on audio
    Maybe teach the guests you interview to talk into a microphone? Or move it closer to their mouth? Or edit the sound so we can hear what the interviewees say?
  • gg88888ssss
    Very well done
    Very interesting and well done. I think these cases and stories would be interesting to anyone just not those who live in Arizona. Most of the stories seem to be big national ones but also smaller cases.

    First time podcast listener
    I’m brand new to this whole podcast thing, and I absolutely love it! I’m listening to my first ever episode, True Crime Arizona- RTK while I write this review. I feel as though I’ve been depriving myself by never checking it out before!! True Crime Arizona is great to listen to. I’ve lived in Arizona my whole life and love listening to crimes thats happened in our state. My favorite show on TV is Dateline and a lot of shows on the ID Channel so I can see this being my new obsession.
  • Schalkedave
    Great True Crime Podcast
    As a longtime Arizona resident I find this podcast very well researched and entertaining.
  • zeitlerusmc
    Meh not bad
    This entire story could of been wrapped up in about 3 episodes. Really stretching it out much longer than it needs to be.
  • Tuml
    Great podcast
    Informative and entertaining
  • crewsn811
    Wish episodes were longer
    The stories are intriguing and being from Arizona, I love hearing about things that happened in places I’m familiar with. However, with episodes lasting 15-20 minutes, the reporting feel rushed and incomplete. Makes for a quick listening pod cast and not something you can really get into which, given the subject matter, is disappointing.
  • AZTurtle
    Informative and concise
    I’ve really been enjoying this pod and learning about new crimes and being reminded of old crimes. I’m not an AZ native but have been here now long enough to be familiar with some of these stories but I appreciate hearing about open cases and learning more about closed cases.
  • momahope
    Good but just one thing....
    I feel like your podcast is very informative I love how you're talking to me too families to get the perspective but one thing you have to know I did not appreciate you coComparingDaniel Robinson to the gabby petito case!!!!they're completely two different things second of all how dare you say Gabby stories just might've been more important because she was white and Daniel was black let me remind you Daniel first sounds like he just might have harassed a woman the week before he went missing so who knows if the family or father gave you a true perspective of who Daniel truly is if what the woman says was true and most important Daniel went missing under somewhat weird circumstances and on his own in someway Gabby was documenting a trip with this man for months and he showed up without her after the family couldn't reach her she was either alive somewhere and hurt or I kind of think they knew they were looking for a body when searching for her two completely different scenarios that you have no right comparing each two!! Unbelievable in my eyes
  • Cloak & Dagger
    Not bad
    I would have given five stars but the host keeps interrupting when people are answering questions. It’s annoying and you want to listen to something else. She’s gotten better.
  • Hannahhighthere
    Amazing !
    What a great podcast! And I cannot tell you enough how happy I am you’re covering Mikelle Biggs disappearance! Growing up right down the street from her when she went missing and seeing the missing persons flyers is something I’ll never forget. I think about her case often as it was so close to home. Thank you for bringing awareness and hopefully new leads or more of a push on existing leads. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 also every episode has been amazon! Bravo!

    Great content
    Concise recaps of Arizona crimes. I did notice during the most recent episode (Scottsdale) I was having to turn the volume up and down repeatedly, as certain clips seemed to play at a lower volume than when the host speaking. I’ll continue listening, just thought I’d mention it.
  • Kranold_Duck
    One of My Favorite Podcasts
    Really well written and interesting stories thanks to Briana and Serjio on their extensive research. Even if you are not an AZ native these are truly compelling stories- can’t wait for future content.
  • Runningmamasita
    True crime with a local twist
    I love the in depth investigation about stories I grew up with and ones linked to AZ history I’ve never heard of. I would really like to hear an episode about Cookie Jacobson, the Tempe mom who disappeared in the late 90’s.
  • allieisme76
    5 stars!
    This is a very well put together podcast. So glad my sister recommended it to me. There hasn’t been an episode I haven’t enjoyed. Thanks so much!
  • katengeorge
    Can’t wait for more.
    This podcast is extremely well done.
  • SleuthingSarah
    Perfect for true crime addicts like me!
    Having lived in Tucson, AZ, since 1989, I always get super excited when one of my favorite murder podcasts mentions my state. (Like, should I really be proud that someone was brutally murdered right down the road from me? Maybe a conversation for my therapist... 😂) Anyway, I just so happened to do a Google search for true crime podcasts based in Arizona, and I found this great podcast. I binge listened, and I’m hooked. Definitely check it out! I can’t wait to hear more episodes!
  • Azlibra
    Has potential....
    As a AZ native I was pretty excited when I stumbled across this podcast! Perfect mix I thought-true crime & my beloved state! I was quickly disappointed... If you would tell some more back story so we as the listener can get to know these people, it would have more of an impact. The episodes are too short! Need at least 60 mins to tell these stories better! I grew up in Gilbert in the 70’s & 80’s. Tell Laura Dunn’s story!! That changed Gilbert forever!!✌🏻
  • Booper36
