Great show
The narrator does an awesome job. Love the stories and true crime. Would highly recommend. Thank you. Keep up the great work.

The best asian true crime podcast
I am one to be easily annoyed by obnoxious or fake sounding voices. I like your voice, it’s natural and perfectly suited to the stories you talk about.

Such a gem!
I found Jessica’s podcast around the time it came out and have been listening since. I really enjoy hearing these cases and her editorializing is such a fun part of things, especially since she is a solo host I am always caught off guard. In addition to just talking about the crime Jessica shares a lot about history and culture. The urban legend episodes are a lot of fun, too.

Absolutely love this podcast!
Jessica is such a blunt and down to the point host , who narrates the topic of the week with factual information and adds in unique commentary! I love how she talks directly to the listener and isn’t afraid to talk to herself as she narrates ( it’s a nice change from boring documentary like voices in other podcasts.) My favorite part is when she adds in music or clips , it makes the case or topic more real . Great job jessica!

Bad reviews are garbage
The people who say that this rambles on clearly aren’t actually listening. This is an insightful podcast, great narration ! Love to listen to it

Good, intelligent story-teller
Jessica is wonderful to listen to. She is very insightful and I love her progressive analysis. Definately recommend her!!!

Need to check out if you love true crime
Jessica is an awesome host. I knew nothing about true crime in Asia until listening to this show. It’s nice when she covers stories about Asians in my area because I can say, “Oh, I remember that!”

Mad about Asian Madness
Jessica is a fantastic host. I love how well-researched every episode is, and I appreciate the historical context and introduction to the various countries and customs. Also her subtle humor and delightfully deadpan delivery. I’m not an expert but it sounds like she pronounces all the names and place names like a native speaker regardless of which Asian language it is. I love the urban legend episodes...I am still sick from the sesame seed story!!!

Fetus episode
I was concerned at first listening to this episode, being from the US and a woman with strong opinions, I was worried our views as women from totally different parts of the world may differ on sensitive topics and ultimately I may not like what you had to say about gender equality/rolls (just how casual you were in the beginning) . Well of course, you don’t disappoint and I love your podcast. The Khmer episode brought me in since my husband is Khmer and I am not. It’s hard to hear these stories from the communities here in the US. So I especially appreciate episodes like those. I can’t imagine the podcast w/out the slight monotone, don’t change, I love the podcast! You rock and thank you!

Asian True Crime Brilliance
This is one of the best podcasts out there. The host does an absolutely amazing g job of researching and analysing crime including culturally sensitive commentary. She outlines the geography, population, religion, and cultural aspects of her subject. You will learn an enormous amount whilst being entertained. I really appreciate the host giving her opinions of events as she brings to light racial and misogynistic aspects of crime. I highly recommend this podcast!

Great content, a solid show
Any fan of true crime can appreciate the detailed research Jessica does for each show. The Asian Madness Podcast is a solid show that I look forward to regularly.

Thank you Jessica ...
For sharing your knowledge of Asian crime.

pretty good
while its not groundbreaking in any sense, it is a really fun and easy listen!! jessica’s offbeat tone and interjections are what really make this podcast unique :)

Pet rats rock
I love this podcast. Jessica is very knowledgeable about the crimes and the countries the crimes are committed in. I especially appreciated the episode focusing on Jun Lin, and not his murderer. Most of the crimes covered I have never heard of. For being a crime podcast, her voice is very soothing, and I appreciate her commentary. My only issue with this podcast is that rape isn’t always called out as rape, instead labeled as sex. That aside, this has been my go to podcast to escape my worries. Highly recommend

Best!!!
Jessica, thank you for the work you do!!! You bring a light to cases probably most people in the United States have heard! I also love, love, love your presentation of the cases--I appreciate that you inject your own thoughts, opinions, and even outrage at times.its incredibly refreshing and I love your urban legends tales! Thank you for the good work you do!!! 💚💚💚💚

please come back
Your fans miss you!!!

Stories I haven’t heard before
This a fantastic podcast for true crime fans! Well researched and presented cases.

Just keeps getting better and better!
I always get aexcited when I realize a new episode is up. I follow on Twitter. I love how down to earth Jessica is. She is finding her footing along the way and doing an amazing and interesting podcast along the way. I always enjoy new storires and she doesn't disappoint. I honestly think all of her storires and culture histories are unique, not things I have heard anywhere else.

Amazing
When I start a podcast I need to start from the beginning and honestly in the first episodes I thought you sounded a little boring and wouldn’t like the podcast😅but I just wanted to still listen and you really improve in each episode and you really sound so interesting in each episode😊almost near the recent episodes 😁Keep up the good work!

Keep going Jessica!
Well researched and delivered. Jessica’s interjections of options is tasteful and needed. It brings such a grounded and sympathetic feel to a podcast based on such chaos and madness! I cannot get enough. Her podcast episodes range in length making it the perfect podcast to sneak in to get your true crime fix anytime!

Great podcast!
I heard about this podcast from the Dark Poutine guys and have really been enjoying the content Jessica presents.

Great podcast
I’m not one to write reviews, but this podcast is phenomenal! Jessica is an amazing storyteller, and all the ones she chooses are extremely interesting and creepy! I would recommend this to anyone who likes the darker side of things!

Great Podcast
I live a good podcast and this is an awesome one SUPER interesting and very intriguing 👍🏼

Wish I found this sooner
I’m a true crime super fan and this is my new favorite. Refreshing mix of crimes, legends, supernatural stories told by a very pleasant, knowledgeable host. If you like this genre of podcasts and don’t know much about Asia I highly recommend you listen and subscribe.

Informative
She has been an educator to me. I find the show to be uniquely entertaining

This podcast is addictive
Hats off to Jessica for bringing us a podcast with stories we have not heard over and over again. So glad she is back!

yay!
Research is on point, delivery is natural, and the quality is perfect! Nicki T Strictly Homicide Podcast

Excellent crime stories from Asia
As a true crime podcast addict, this is an excellent part of the genre. Host is really good, providing lots of insight into the country where the crimes take place. Her narration is clear and concise. Also, her new intro music, courtesy of The Captain, is really good. Keep up the good work, Jessica!

Addicted!
Im binging through these so fast, I have to tell myself to chill so I don’t run out of stories. But I can’t help but be drawn to Jessica’s story telling, her awesome research paints an amazing picture every time. Thank you! Don’t ever stop making episodes pls lol 🖤

SO GLAD JESSICA IS BACK! Have a listen - a terrific true crime addition
Host has a most distinctive tone and sensibility - I love her dry humour. She has a much needed diverse perspective. I also appreciate the cases she covers - well researched, all are new to me.
