The best around šCome backHello Erica. We hope all is well with you. We miss you. I check just about everyday to see if youāre back. Please take care. Please come back.

CJShorty23One of my absolute favorite podcasts!This is one of my all time favorite podcasts. I love Ericaās attention to detail, and her respect for the victims and their families. I also appreciate her nuanced take on corruption, botched investigations, and so forth when itās relevant to the case sheās presenting. There are very few true crime podcasts that still show compassion to the victims, but Erica really does each episode! I hope Erica gets better quickly ā and of course that she takes all the time she needs to recover. Weāll be respectfully waiting for the next drop and canāt wait until sheās back!

calliemac50scDonāt Get The PopularityIāve been listening to this podcast for a long time because I enjoy the stories, not the delivery. Her voice truly sounds like she is reading from a piece of paper and she uses a lot of words incorrectly. Still waiting on Part 2 from a Part 1 that she promised would be forthcoming. I am unfollowing. Also agree on the number of ads.

fmtiggie671 of my Fave podcasts!So great! Such interesting stories! Great story-telling!! Whereād she go? Again? Darnā¦ Is it bcuz of š stealing money out of the pockets of creators? As if they their billions in profits isnāt enough for them? Grifters and Highwaymen thatās all theyāve become!
-
HogFan56Love it!!Im missing her sweet voice..she tells the cases so well. I hope sheās alrightš
-
MFirebaughGood Show Butā¦I love the way she presents the story, straight to the point. However, the audio is way less than to be desired. Wish it was better quality.
-
MotherOfCatsAndAKidLove the show, hate all the commercials.I absolutely love this show but I canāt help but notice it has FAR more advertisements than any other true crime podcast Iāve listened to. I usually skip over them, but when Iām in the shower or doing dishes itās not as simple since my hands are too wet to skip forward.
-
MommaMandaPandaErica kills itNicely done. Your way of presenting information to us listeners is spellbinding and I find that yours is my favorite crime podcast. I like how you keep it clean, and are respectful of victims and their families. Thanks to you and your researcher for all your hard work. Makes my daily chores go by faster as I listen.

Go_GobarbieWhat are you sellingHer stories feel as if sheās trying to sell us a house in the places where these murders happened. I donāt need a 30 min explanation on why I would want to live in a small town in Kentucky. Just get to the story
-
jlm188Not greatListening to my first episode re a guy named Tex and I donāt feel like Iām getting a true crime story but spin by an unreliable narrator. Is this woman dating Tex or what? She also doesnāt understand criminal law based on her questioning of the felony murder conviction. Wonāt be listening to more episodes because I prefer true crime pods that just tell the facts. I donāt know who this random woman is and why she thinks her āpersonalā opinions on cases are worthy of a podcast.
-
Taylor LaurynAdsThis podcast is absolutely amazing, and Ericaās story telling is so beautiful. However, the amount of ads completely ruins the show. For example the Carrie Lawson Part 1, I skipped three ad breaks within the first 29 minutes of the episodeā¦ It takes you completely out of the show. It ruins it the episode completely, and I started another podcast. I truly hate to say that, but itās the reality. Also she will call you out and use your name in the podcast if you leave a negative review as she did in the Denise Amber Lee episode which I also didnāt like. Even if the person was wrong this is a podcast that thousands listen to, and I donāt agree with that.
-
Foot of the SmokiesUsed to be greatI used to like this podcast it was a favorite but recently there has been a shift and we are much more focused on things like race, missing white woman syndrome, and feeling bad for the criminals instead of the victims. Itās sad but itās a unsub situation.
-
ForestimoExcellent HostErica has such a way of weaving the tales she covers. She is so gifted at painting the picture of someoneās life in an honest yet compelling way. Thatās what keeps this listener coming back!
-
Audrey OluochToo many ads70% ads, 30% content. They will literally cut off mid sentence for an ad read:/
-
patsycrimesterAds almost equal the contentI listen to a lot of podcasts, and have been listening to this one for several years. It, by far, has the most ads ever! Was not always this way. I used to like it quite a lot since I live in the south. For the past while, the ads have taken over. I can handle that episodes aren't always available consistently, but the excess ads are making it hard for me to stay devoted to this one.
-
Umm yeah no thxToo many ads, Iām outIāve been listening for a while, but the ads are excessive enough now to where Iām unfollowing. I listen to a bunch of true crime podcasts, and none of the others take this many breaks to have a āword from our sponsorā.
-
Ribbit6619More Ads & Opinion Than ContentItās absolutely appropriate that the podcast circuit, is at long last, fading away. This one is near the top for cringy, opinionated content, and I swear more ads than actual show. If you insist on listening make sure you have access to FF through because every episode has a minimum of FIVE ad breaks and at least 3 ads per block. Thatās on the low end. Erica is constantly throwing in her opinions on things she has no business commenting on-and her opinions are often dead wrong on legality issues. Donāt bother with this one, so many better podcasts (for now) to listen to without their political bent inserted.
-
Jarred AltmanLove this podcastI absolutely love this podcast. Erica and her team really do their research and make sure the information theyāre presenting is accurate. My only qualm is the amount of advertisements. I understand why they are in there so I try not to complain. Keep up the good work, Erica!
-
Adrienne from OhioToo many adsI like the show but thereās way too many ads. It seems like thereās 4 minutes of ads every 5 minutes. I always end up turning the podcast off because of this.
-
LatinanycmommaEnjoyableI enjoy listening to true crime but Iām really picky when looking for a podcast. If the voice aināt it , I canāt listen to it. She keeps me engaged and the stories are interesting (although sad). My only complaint is the ads, they are more frequent than other podcasts I listen to. But I understand a girls gotta eat !
-
Creative Arts DirectorWell researchedWell researched which I like and appreciate. A lot of true crime podcasters donāt even bother to do this but Erica does. She really cares about the victims. I do prefer the excellent scripts written just by Erica herself because itās in tune with her spirit and personality. The collaborative script writing just isnāt her and loses some of the engaging qualities that define Ericaās writing. I can tell when the script was written wholly or partially by someone else. I also want to address a disgusting comment on here written Feb 27, 2024 by gardenfairy86. Talk about a racist, this commenter certainly is. Basically telling Erica Kelly that because sheās white she doesnāt have a right to share true crime cases about blacks. People like this dont even deserve a voice. Pay no attention to such ignorant comments.
-
MaryjoahlumAwesome!I love this podcast!!!! Erica rocks! Update- I still love this podcast but thereās no rhyme or reason as to when she drops episodes and thereās always some lame excuse why she hasnāt. Itās annoying. Update to the update- over a month and no new episode or explanation whyā¦
-
JoMaMaJoMalolMonotone wannabe activist. āFor those in the black community, I stand with you. I feel youā¦ Not really though, Iām here sitting in a chair talking about it.ā
-
pittpat122I always have my mind made upā¦When it comes to guilt and innocence in true crime stories I pretty much always have my mind made up. However, Ericaās research and following narrative has made me think, stop and consider, and occasionally left me wondering what was the right thing to see that justice was realized. So thanks! This has become my favorite tc podcast.
-
Mamaduke84Too many adsI used to love this podcast, but the ads have taken over! It feels like more ads than actual story. I listen to a lot of podcast and this one by far has the most ads.
-
AidanMcGinnWay to many adsInsane amount of ads with the podcast.
-
TheLivingDollfaceExcellenceI love this podcast! I grew up in Nashville and enjoy Southern crime and history. Erica thoroughly researches each podcast and has the gift of weaving the story together in a coherent matter. In other words, her shows are easy to follow, even the complicated crime stories. My only negative comment is that I canāt stand background music on any show but Iām just like that. Itās not going to stop me from listeningā¦I just try to tune it out.
-
AbsnjdnsmjsnemxjdkfkmdbdjsDonāt get itI really donāt understand the high reviews for this podcast. She somehow manages to take really interesting cases and make them extremely boring with here monotone voice. Iām just going to assume the reviewers havenāt listened to good podcasts.
-
TisaanMy Favorite of All Time!Iām southern to the core and LOVE this podcast! Anxiously await every new story!
-
KristineFlyJust PLEASE tell the story!!!!!!Stories are well researched & written. I just want to here the story in an objective way! I donāt want to hear the podcasterās views, feelings, religion, or politics thrown into the story. I usually listen to this podcast for a couple of months at a time. Then I canāt take it anymore, and I quit listening for a few months. If it were just a great researched story being told , I would listen consistently.
-
smooches123Excessive Ad BreaksThis is such a disappointing review to leave, because the quality of the content and the story telling is really good. But the number and length of ad breaks is wild and very obtrusive. Would be an easy five stars without the excessive ads.
-
JinJin1120HonestI love the brutal honesty. They obviously do very in-depth investigations. I love hearing all sides.
-
Butterfly JonesOne of my favorite podcast!!Just listened to the Denise Lee episode , what a brave , brave woman !! I cried my heart out over this episode , bless her heart , may she rest in peace š
-
deforestchezzLove loveThis is best true crime podcast out there!!!
-
Dabs dogGreat showI wish I could discover this podcast all over again. The structure of the episodes is great, the story is thorough, well-researched, and Erica is insightful and sensitive. So good!
-
DoveSoaringI like the show, butā¦I enjoy the variety of stories told on the podcast, but I do think more diligence would be prudent in the research of the towns involved. I know for a fact there have been instances where the geographical descriptions of locations were wholly incorrect, and some historical facts about the time periods have been wrong, too. When such seemingly minor, yet easily verified details are wrong, how accurate are the facts of the crimes being discussed?
-
lucianokmnToo many commercialsI love this podcast but I canāt deal with all the commercials. No other podcaster has this many. Iām not alway near my phone to skip them. Way too many
-
Stupidbaboon1245Emotionless roboticThe stories are good. And the narratorās voice is pleasant but she reads the script with little emotion. Like a robot. She shows more emotion reading the credits.
-
BabybluestxMy favorite southern belleI still love this podcast so much that I donāt mind skipping the ads that come up after every 3-5 spoken words.
-
whyyshanhskdThe best!I am from Arkansas and itās not often that I hear a podcast covering a case from my state. I love the south and I am familiar with the unique crimes prevalent here. I love Southern Fried True Crime. Ericaās accent paired with her first hand knowledge of the south is the cherry on top of her excellent story telling.
-
Leanne in Chippewa Falls210Iāve been a long-time listener and I feel episode 210 is probably some Erica Kellyās best work, second behind The Ballad of Zack and Addie. *chefs kiss and mad respect*
-
RobinChicagoWell-researched and narratedThe episodes of this podcast always seem thoroughly researched and fairly presented. The narrator is one of my favorites. She speaks at a pace that is measured without being stilted, and is easy to understand.
-
Le Pew el PepĆ©Great JobIām always looking forward for your show. Listen to it as soon itās available Thank you very much Las Moras The berries

Just ok at least for nowMust FollowThis is actually my first ever podcast, yes I know I am behind the times! Lol Southern Fried did not disappoint! Erica has a great listening voice! I love her take on the episodes and her honesty and wittiness! I also appreciate the way she gives as much honor and respect to the victims and their families as possible, while still giving me the info I need as a True Crime Junkie. I would definitely recommend this show and look forward to every episode!
