Love this podcasters voice and story telling style
Looking forward to listening to each episode
10/10 podcast
I love the “story telling” vibe the podcast has, it was recently recommended to me and I’m slowly working my way thru listening to all the episodes. It’s has quickly become my favorite true crime podcast!
Great podcast!
I enjoy listening about crimes from other countries and this a excellent podcast. I also enjoy the urban legends episodes. Great work Jessica!!!
🏆🏆🏆
I love what you have created here. Please make the episodes longer, more details lol. Awesome work!
Thoughtful and unique
Jessica is one of the kindest true crime podcasters. She isn’t trying to be funny off the backs of the bruised, she isn’t trying to make a buck off someone else’s misery, and she isn’t a plagiarist—all of which make her stand out from the crowd. Plus, she is a sweetheart, and her tales of Asian crime are unique and fascinating.
Wonderful
I listen to dozens of podcasts, and this is my absolute favorite. I love Jessica so much. Her excellent writing and warm demeanor makes her feel like one of those super smart friends whose wisdom you genuinely like listening to. The Asian Madness Podcast is super underrated. I am respectfully sorry if this is overstepping boundaries as I don’t know the podcaster’s daily life and dreams for the future, but…If this is your true passion, Jessica, please consider making a Patreon so we can support you so that you could do this for a living. We all need more Asian history in our lives, and you are simply the best teacher. 🥰 —Ginny from Chicago
Dark, Informative and Entertaining
I really love this podcast. It feels like Jessica is right in front of you having a conversation and being real with you. She’s very well informed and sarcastic, which I love. From the myths to the true stories they are dark and bring chills down your spine. Keep up the amazing work you do.
Jess does an amazing job!
Great podcast, highly recommended!
Weird news, but respectful and chill
I love the crime coverage, ghost stories, and general info from the host’s perspective.
Obsessed!
Jessica is so cool, her voice and her laid back sarcasm. Really interesting cases!!!
Loving it
Jessica, it’s so awesome of you to provide this kind of content! We have so many true crime podcasts in the US that focus on the western world and that really never tackle the eastern world with any sort of finesse or diligence. Your pod fills that niche perfectly and with all the local regional context that is really necessary for the story. It’s brilliant! Keep it up!
Great Podcast
One of my favorite podcasts. Jessica is a great host.
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.
