Enjoyable from start to finish

Why the halting staccato search pattern during the reporting? It is irritating and unnecessary. Just speak normally as you do during advertising and wrapping up the episode.

Well produced, written and narrated. I like that it strives to have a different conversation about true crime.

Celisia doesn’t just regurgitate the same crime stories we’ve all heard before. She goes layers deeper. I learned so many details I never knew before about cases I thought I knew. And her storytelling is incredible! So vivid and hits all the senses to the point you feel like you are reliving a memory.

I ran into this podcast yesterday and i’m already halfway done with season one. Celisia is great! I’ve heard some of these stories before, but a lot of the details she gives I hand t heard before. Highly recommend!

Celisia Stanton has created a fantastic podcast about crimes and their victims. I really like how Stanton takes cases that have been in the media and breaks them down without the commitment to a 8 part series. The episode on MLK was incredible. I learned so much from it and for that I am grateful! I just finished listening to the Alice Seabold case. I remember checking out Lucky from the Library when I was a teen but I didn’t read it. I had no idea that this poor man was imprisoned but innocent. Absolutely heartbreaking! I am looking forward to listening to the rest of the season! Here to update my review!! I just finished the Timmothy Coggins case. I am weeping while I mop my floor. May he rest in peace ❤️

I’m glad Ms. Stanton displayed her racism in the first episode before I got too deep. Is it just white women she hates or white men too?! I don’t plan on sticking around to find out.

If you're looking for a true crime podcast that goes beyond just recounting events and truly centers the victims, then look no further. This podcast stands head and shoulders above the rest thanks to its meticulous research and the host's absolutely captivating voice – it's a pleasure to listen to, even when discussing difficult topics. What truly sets True Crime apart is the detailed storytelling. The host skillfully weaves together the narratives, ensuring you understand the complexities of each case while always keeping the focus on the individuals impacted. But it doesn't stop there. Every single episode includes a powerful and genuine call to action, making it clear that this podcast isn't just about listening; it's about inspiring change. I wholeheartedly recommend TruerCrime to anyone who wants to be informed, moved, and motivated to make a difference. This isn't just another true crime podcast; it's a force for good.

Celisia’s podcast is super interesting and I love how she pushes her followers to action steps. Her voice is soothing and I love her empathetic nature. Definitely worth a listen

This podcast is great! I love listening at work. I’m looking forward to season 3 :)

I just stumbled upon this podcast and love it. As a true crime fan, Celisia’s viewpoint is refreshing. Eagerly awaiting Season 3.

I love how much research was put into each episode but it doesn’t sound overwhelming.

Every single crime podcast should be reporting right now on Trump’s plans to put Americans in concentration camps.

I’m learning so much! Where was this history when I was growing up? It’s pisses me off that the history we learned is all about White men. Thank you so much, Celisia, for this education. It’s invaluable. (I’m so sorry about what the financial guy did to you.💕)

I have made it a point to seek out podcasts that center victims as I have always found the true crime genre to be a bit problematic. I’m not surprised that the algorithm led me here. I have enjoyed the story telling and the thoughtful care given to each case, thank you and I am looking forward to season 3!

As a new listener being begged to leave a good review for several minutes is so off-putting especially the detail put in “how to leave a good review” … if the podcast is good people don’t need a tutorial on “what to write”

Great podcast, I appreciate that Celisia offers action items to encourage change

Narrator is so biased and “woke” it’s beyond sickening. Turned off before I finished one episode . I was super interested in this story in particular. Horrible podcast.

Well written and produced. My new fave podcast!

The true crime community is such an interesting space, filled with podcasts both sensitive to families and sometimes not- but it has always been lacking the important telling of the truth about our justice system, the micro and macro aggressions facing oppressed communities goes untold and without reparation. Celisia does a fantastic job telling these stories and shedding light into the dark corners of our justice system and the flaws within it, opening up the necessary conversations that should be had to make change in our system so we can correct these problems and create a more perfect union for all of us.

I’m surprised by how bad this podcast is! I love true crime and normally would be a fan and binge every episode. I couldn’t get through the episode on Darlie Poitier. The episode’s clear, unsubstantiated bias is offensive to the victims. Several other episodes I tried and couldn’t listen to either.

Good show but please cut back on the use of “sort of” peppered throughout—I stopped listening because it was so distracting.

This is such a great podcast. Love it and am excited for season 3

Celsius brings a new storyline to true crime with a deeper dive and eye opening new facts. The most mind blowing episode so far has been the MLK Jr episode. Subscribe now.

I’ve listened to much of Season 2 and returned to binge Season 1. I wish I had started from the beginning so I could fully appreciate the writing and presentation style even more! Perhaps it is only my experience - but the way Celosia weaves True Crime with the shortcomings of our society is nothing short of brilliant reminicant of other podcasts like Throughline. When you refer to serial kilers I deeply appreciate that you call out colonizers as mass murderers. Setting those ideas aside when listening to crime podcasts is so easy. Thank you for your impeccable storytelling and for giving us hope that we can impact future generations of victims and victimizers if we change society. Your work is inspiring and gives us hope for a better future.

I have been happily listening along and look for your new episodes every week. A lot of these I’ve heard before but learned something I hadn’t known before! Keep up the good work, you deserve to be successful :)

Celisia does deep and thorough research into all the cases she presents. Not your run of the mill true crime podcast.

Love the facts & statistics included. Also enjoy the voice.

This is one of the best well done podcasts I’ve listened to. I can’t wait for season 3

I’ve been a silent listener — this is my first review! After listening to the Alice Sebold / Anthony Broadwater episode, I felt compelled to share my thoughts. Well done, wow! What a powerful episode — it’s so refreshing to hear podcasts with hosts/writers like Celisia who not only showcase all of the evidence, but also call out their own biases and let the listener sit with it all. I didn’t know this story (which shocked me, as a woman of color who is very involved in the social justice movement and an avid reader of Alice Sebold’s work) and am so glad it’s being told. Thank you, thank you, for all of your work! Please don’t stop making this show!

I’m looking forward to Season 3!!!

Enjoy your Tenderfoot Podcast. Hope Your goal of 2000 will be achieved. Onward to many more.

These deeply humanizing stories shine light on victims of crime, while also reckoning with the context of structural violence. I’m grateful for Celisia’s thoughtfulness behind each episode

I found the podcast amateurish and desparately in need of a good editor. The host has her own biases and propensity for oversights that wholly undermine the purported nature of its schtick. Recommend you pass on this if you’re a true crime junkie with any education or intelligence. And if you get squeamish listening to vocal-fry voicing, the host will have you on the ceiling.

Compared to other True Crime I love to watch and listen to, this is saturated with personal bias and lots of opinion rather than just interpreting facts. I gave a few episodes a try but found more of the same. I would recommend other podcasts like Crime Junkie that stick more to just telling the facts and less commentary and opinion.

In a world with a ridiculous number of true crime podcasts, this one is a standout. The stories are meticulously researched & told with compassion.

This podcast is extremely thorough and provides a nuanced conversation about “true crime” while educating listeners along the way. Highly recommend a listen!

Started listening today and I am hooked! Absolutely stunning writing and your voice heavenly!

Excellent research, compassionate views.

Love the stories, the pace, and narrator.

This work is beautiful. The care and thought that goes into the stories that we tell each-other and ourselves is an art and voice for the moment. Thank you for your critical thinking and depth and care for the connection to humanity.

Thank you for the work you do to enlighten your listeners. Difficult, but very meaningful work. Thought provoking.

Very well covered and investigated crime stories, ending with a larger moral lesson for us all. Love Celisia.

Love the action prompts at the end of every episode….well thought out. The content of the show is also well researched and the host does an excellent job of ensuring we are responsibly consuming these stories.

I love that this podcast highlights crimes that others may not consider. Celisia is also a great host and is not afraid to touch the topics others may be hesitant to.

Just recently started listening to this and I love it. Researched and very well written. I like the interviews and the thoughtfulness that has gone into the shows. No jokes, no low hits. Good journalism.

i am so glad i found this pod. thank you for the work you’re doing. the season finale brought me to tears. can’t wait for Season 3

This is true crime that doesn’t just rest on the laurels of sensationalism. The host, Celisia Stanton, has a very pleasant voice and an objective view of the cases, while remaining very human (ie, we’re not just getting cold, hard facts). I’m glad I found this podcast to add to my true crime rotation.

Really enjoying the show for its handling of the sensitive subject matter of true crime. Much more respectful of the families and life of the victims. Glad to see this genre progressing.

Celisia has a fascinating story as a person herself with her father's murder... and I love that she is working to help others.
