    Excellent podcast
    Excellent storytelling and narration of interesting cases. Thanks for all you do, Kristi!

    Thank you
    As an American I can’t tell you how ashamed I am of our country and administration right now. Your words are a good reminder on how to avoid this situation in Canada. Rest assured that MOST people in the United States do not like or respect what is going on right now. But, we did let it happen. It has got to stop and folks need to wake up to reality. Thank you for your wise words and keep up the good fight.

    Ruined by Communism
    This was really good until she started her political rants. If you want to do that make a separate podcast or go to MSBNC. Those who come here to listen to true crime, last thing they want to listen to is far left political rants.

    Empathetic, ethical true crime podcast
    Well-researched, well-told, in-depth stories. The host is empathetic and points out how societal issues and crime intersect and especially how vulnerable populations are impacted by the criminal justice system, media, politics, and more. Much appreciated by this US listener.

    Politics pushed too far
    Totally unnecessary and takes away from the true crime issues you are covering. It’s fine to use your platform, but make a separate episode for it. Tasteless to attach that to an actual crime.

    Thank you
    Thanks for standing up to a bully. Not sure why my fellow Americans expect a Canadian podcaster to just roll over and take it. Nothing wrong with Canadian patriotism!

    US Fan - Excellent Research and Storytelling
    Thank you so much for your message about the very dangerous situation happening in the US which will have lasting global impacts. I’ve always loved your podcast because the stories are reported in a clear, concise, engaging way, and it’s obvious that a lot of research and care goes into each episode. I’m now a huge fan of you personally for speaking up at a time when none of us can afford to be silent. As an American, I feel hopeless and helpless at times, but I know that I have to be an active part of the solution. Hearing from like-minded people here and abroad is comforting. It gives me hope that it’s not too late to stop what’s being done. Thank you.

    Not a fan anymore
    So our “best friend” has actually been poisoning us and putting our citizens in danger by letting drugs and criminals cross from their country into ours, unchecked and illegally. Not much of a friend. MAGA … Go Trump!! And you are not longer a podcast on my list.
  • patsycrimester
    True crime???
    Whether I agree or disagree with your opening comments is irrelevant. If I wanted to hear political commentary, I would watch CNN and Fox!! Just sick of it all…
  • B0r3dP@nda
    Really?
    Great podcast until you got political. Really? … our president is “taunting” you? Uhh no thanks. You just lost a subscriber.

    Hello, as I quietly say I am an American living in Maine and loudly shout not painted with the same brush our elected and the unelected presidents. I can’t even imagine how much damage the ranting, Sabre rattling, negativity is hurting our many decades partnership. I wanted to give you a hug and applause on your well spoken and heartfelt message at the beginning of this episode. Thank you. I enjoy your podcasts. Have a nice weekend..
  • eg portland
    No one I know is MAGA! I despise MAGA!
    I loved your MPs speech! I don’t even understand how we got here. I’m happy you speak your mind instead of trying to keep MAGA listeners happy. Due to their hating trans people and Mexicans more than they love freedom, they sent our country into free fall. Of course the blowhard in chief is blaming Biden and lying his ugly facd off. Whew, I’m done. MAGA you can go watch Fox “news” and let the billionaires take over. That being said,I don’t agree with people who dislike the political backdrop.Politics and the isms definitely play into many crime stories. I guess if you were right wing it would bother me (and I would stop listening)but I find you spot on . There’s lots of podcasts ( too many)that are just gory and absent of context . I
  • Awesome Great Pod 👍
    Episode Feb 5, 2015
    I’m an American and I’m so grateful for your opening statement in that episode. I loved your podcast before but now I’m in awe. Canada is the best. Thank You

    Thank you for saying what so many Americans are thinking about what is going on in our country!!! I applaud you!!! Great podcast!!!
  • cmdm
    excellent podcast...
    i’m sure i hate FOTUS (Felony Of The United States) as much as humanly possible….you have plenty of friends down here…

    Great podcast. That was an excellent commentary on the absolute racist, misogynistic, oligarchic, corrupt administration ever with an unelected S Africa using the orange puppet. The GOPedos love him.
  • Patty Podcast
    You’re spot on!
    I notice a lot of folks upset that you spoke the TRUTH!! Keep going!!!
  • Angisthebest
    Unfollowed
    Keep your biased uninformed opinion to yourself
  • BindiDay
    Ignore the MAGA crowd
    Please continue to be vocal about what’s right and wrong, whether it be about true crime or the actions of world leaders. If people don’t like your platform they don’t have to listen, but everything you said about the US and Canada was true. As an American, I support the message you are putting out and hope that you aren’t discouraged by some of the reviews saying to stay out of politics. Everything is affected by politics, and you have a huge following in many countries. it’s not your responsibility to use your platform to speak truth to power, but thank you for doing it ❤️
  • Florida Evans
    BRAVO!!!
    As an American citizen I cannot agree more with what Kristi said about Trump and the idiots that voted for him. America has never been great and now it’s a complete embarrassment.
  • crp7376
    Why did you bring politics into this?
    Kristi, Canada’s Prime Minister is no angel, let’s be honest. But why did you have to make your podcast about Trump? Not necessary and I am really upset you did that.
  • Tpounders
    Political
    Failed to realize that more than half her audience is American, and more than half of the country voted for Trump. Not a great idea to bash the country of half your audience, and likely 25% of your audience voted for Trump. Not big into politics, which is why I came here.
  • American/Human/MAGA
    Stick to what you know
    I listen to podcasts about true crime to listen to…wait for….true crime. Not to listen to your idiotic rants about my President. Your show was always a last resort when I had nothing else to listen to. Now you’re an “unfollow”.
  • LoneRita
    Keep ur political views to yourself
    😴
  • jojo51515154
    Nope
    You should keep you political opinions to yourself. It doesn’t have anything to do with true crime.
  • marylin-62
    Sharing her opinion on America
    Not why I’m here or anyone else. If you don’t like America keep it to yourself so you don’t run off people who just want to here a crime podcast.
  • LuckyMamaRita13
    Here for the stories
    Not enjoying the overly dramatic language
  • Kvjo
    Great podcast!!
    Adding on 2/27/25…Please know Kristi, I hate our Country turned MAGA. As a U.S. I’m ashamed of what our citizens did in November. I didn’t vote for this and over half the country didn’t. Unfortunately the people who wasted there vote by voting for a third party or those who didn’t vote at all allowed this orange goon and his freaky friend muskrat to take over our country and ruin it in less than a month. They will feel the pain - those who voted for him, but they are such cultish idolizing idiots that they will still say they love Trump. I don’t want Canada as a 51st state. I love Canada as our neighbor to the north. Thank you for denouncing this disgusting, power hungry, racist, misogynistic, dictator wanna-be, demented, stinky, orange creep. I love this podcast and I really love Kristi’s voice and professionalism!! She is perfect for podcast hosting, no matter the country of her origin, she does right by Canada.

    Ethical True Crime
    This is it. This is how you do true crime podcasting.
  • kpwwwoo
    Too Political
    Not worth my time anymore. Not interested in listening to the host's uninformed, emotional, and ridiculous political rants.
  • whoknows 78
    Used to like it
    This was never one of my favorites but I would still listen since it wasn’t too bad. However if it’s going to turn in to full on rants about America elected Trump I will stop listening. I didn’t vote for him but I also don’t want to listen to a rant for 5-10 mins about how bad America is for electing him. It had nothing to do with the case so what’s the point in the rant?
  • misty1000*
    Uninformed political commentary
    We want stories not uninformed propaganda about the US
  • Md011
    Exploitative
    Just another low life making money off of the gruesome deaths of others. What are you actually bringing to the world?
  • want-to-like-it
    Now a very slow paced program
    I use to love this post cast. Unfortunately it becomes a very slow paced story telling. Each case dragged at least two episodes (more than two hours) without more material.
  • Emily in atlanta
    Wow
    I really enjoyed your podcast until your uneducated rant. Best of luck and I hope you have a long career.
  • Themoneychick
    Political Opinions of the US are not what I listen door
    I have been a real fan of CTC for years however this last podcast you started talking about how that idiot Trump is coming for Canada. It’s already bad enough we have to deal with him here in America. He is an embarrassment to the core of our country. Let’s leave politics out…
  • Paul the Accuser
    Canadian Clown
    You know nothing of US Politics. Keep your mouth shut about American Politics.
  • BellaMona
    True Crime not Politics
    Loved you until you started sharing your opinions..
  • KDHunter1214
    Bravo
    As an American, bravo Kristi for your words. Bravo for being brave and speaking the truth. We are not American, we are not Canadian, we are humans. All with hopes and dreams. I hope your words inspire those to remember that. Bravo.
  • Watchathink
    Inappropriate subject matter
    My genre is True Crime. I don’t listen to your Podcast for your opinion on the United States and our president especially since you have a flake of Prime Minister. You’ve lost one supporter.
  • lydiajoy93s
    Leave American politics out
    Poor choice. Disappointed. I don’t listen to murder podcasts to hear people rant about politics. Keep it to your socials Kristi. *note, I never review podcasts but felt the need to after I was accosted with your rant.
  • SleeplessnessNoMore
    Expression of Political Viewpoint
    I am not aligned with your politics and do not appreciate your use of the podcast to express your political narrative. So, I will simply unsubscribe.
  • AndiNMy
    So off base
    I’ve listened to your podcast for quite some now but will no longer be listening after you inserted yourself into American politics. You’re so off base and out of touch with the American people. You have just revealed yourself to be fake news— Donald Trump isn’t invading Canada— come on now, seriously?!? An “imaginary” border between Canada and USA? And that’s just a minute and a half into your unfounded rant. I just can’t believe anything you say anymore or support you.
  • Sup-rice
    Love this show but..
    Politics! I’m sad to see one of my favorite podcas go down this road.
  • Fionafandango
    Solid research and reporting
    I am a regular listener; I’m 2-3 years in and I will continue to listen bc I respect your research and appreciate that you protect the victims by not including upsetting or graphic details. Thank you for your hard work
  • Syntheticg
    Terrible voice
    This voice is grating and awful
  • iPop-a-lot
    Great presentation!
    However, I get you have your own schedule, mom and social worker here.... schedule is very important, better planning for listeners would be awesome!!!! Miss more, regular contact, jmo!
  • Natoyaheard
    Fantastic
    This show is truly amazing. There are only three or four genuinely top tier true crime podcasts out there- including Casefile, and The Vanished- and this one has a similar feel to it, whilst also being a touch different. The cases she covers are also picked with purpose- you can tell. This is one of those podcasts where- if she chooses too- she says a lot by saying nothing at all. It’s that kind of masterpiece.

    This is one of the best overall stories I’ve heard you cover (though they are all top notch)! I never mind waiting for episodes because I know they will be outstanding.
