Great once you get passed her.....
.....slight lisp. It can be a bit unnerving at times but her narration and attention to detail of the story keep my listening. Also, recording is a little staticky.

On my must listen list

Good podcast!
Very detailed, thorough telling of interesting true crime stories. I listen to a lot of true crime podcasts and I appreciate that this one is not overly sensationalized or graphic.

If you aren't listening... you are missing out!
Everything about this is well done... the host, the stories-- awesome!

Hard work
Just started but anyone that's puts the time in deserves a 5 star rating.

Great Podcast!
I like how the episodes are around an hour long. Easy to listen to and a good reader. Maybe need to slow down on the speed of reading a story, but besides that I'm happy to subscribe with 5 stars still. Look forward to many more true crime and gore stories!🙌🏻😉🎉😯💘

Great podcast !
Just found your podcast and loving it so far ! Keep it up!

Awesome
I love how the situations are explained. I am a fan of how the host presents crimes by topics consecutively before going on to a new topic. Very through and insightful.

New Fave!
I'm a little late to the game on joining Once Upon a Crime, though I've been listening to true crime podcasts for a while now. This is rapidly becoming one of my favorites and I look forward to new episodes every week. LOVING the MSBP episode this week and Esther killed it with the two-parter on Generosa Ammon. Keep up the excellent work!

Intelligent, Thoughtful Storytelling
One of my favorite podcasts!

Captivating
You keep my attention through all of your stories. Keep up the work!

A great story teller
Keep doing what you're doing.

Historical true crime at its best
Facts just the facts. The narrator does a great job giving the facts and details of the crime. But then she takes you a step farther and does a follow up of the survivors and criminals life after leaving the spotlight and that is what makes this true crime podcast different. I appreciate that the narrator never over steps into behavioral analysis beyond her training. As time goes on she does become less formal and more personal which I appreciate.

Without Doubt, THIS IS BRILLIANT!
Once Upon a Crime is a masterwork of keen insights. This is the very finest of investigative reporting with the best research modern podcasting has to offer. Esther Ludlow is a rare and talented storyteller with a calm and soothing voice warmth and compassion. Chilling tales of human evil, told with such humanity. Always respectful of the pain caused by criminal behavior in society in recognition of victim's and survivors. I love listening to this podcast and it's OUTSTANDING! What a pleasure to enjoy.

Excellent!
No playing around, no bad language. Just great story telling! One of the Best true crime podcasts I have found.

Great True Crime Podcast
This podcast is easily in my top 5 favorites. Very professional and informative. Esther goes into details I haven't heard on other podcasts. She is the best story teller by far of any podcast that I listen to. She is also very active in the podcast's FB group. Keep up the great work!

Great True Crime Podcast
This is one of my favorite true crime podcast. Easter goes in to not just the crime but the past of murder and the victim showing not just how the crime happened buy why. Her podcast is edited vary nicely which makes it vary fun to listen to and understand how the story plays out.

Wow amazing podcast!
LOVE this one!!! I didn't have high hopes because the name seemed cheesy lol but it's actually one of the best crime podcasts I've listened to!!

Love this podcast
Research is thorough and I love her story telling!

One of my faves
Esther does such a great job with this podcast. She had such a good radio voice - distinctive and interesting. I appreciate the depth of research she puts in to each case, and that she covers cases that haven't already been done to death (no pun intended). When Esther chooses a story that IS well known, I always learn new and interesting information. The Kitty Genovese story was SPECTACULAR. You must listen to this show!
