Elp2rSurprisingly disagreeI love this show, and I think Candice is amazing! I was just surprised at how much I disagreed with the guest about the Sarah Boone case. I saw that case as being extreme manipulated by Sarah on so many levels and it surprised me how much the guest saw it differently. My love of the show and high rating don’t change because of this, but I was shocked at her take.

SirbuildsalotPathetic sympathyI always listen. This interview was difficult to listen to when you show so much sympathy for a killer.

MRE131Want to loveThis used to be my all-time favorite podcast that I would look forward to every week. I love the in-depth analysis of the killers, but I hate all the interviews lately. I realize it’s free and Candace can do whatever she wants, and I’m sure some people enjoy that, but it is a big disappointment for me. I wish she’d go back to the original format.

5280TCan you go back to your old formatHearing from experts isn't that interesting. I miss when Candice would just tell a story with her expertise.

Rs3314Finally!I love your show! I’ve always had an interest in “Why they do it” I am so glad you have an episode on Danny Rolling. I wrote my undergraduate capstone project on him and Nathaniel Code (another Shreveport serial killer). His diary is absolutely insane to read! Fabulous insight! Thank you for taking the time to do this show!

Rachel P849Started Strong… Now On To InterviewsI used to love this podcast. It was informative, and Candace would tell a riveting story followed by an analysis of the killer. Now it has fallen into the content trap of guest interviews, like so many once-good podcasts do. We listen to podcasts for the HOST to tell us a STORY. Not to listen to people talk to each other about a story. PLEASE go back to your original format! Why change a successful thing???

AndygirlllFascinatingThis is a perspective you can’t get anywhere else. Psychiatric insight, high level law enforcement insight and profiling too, a triple win!
-
imarchonLose the newest background “music”! Too distracting.I am a long time listener. This is the 2nd time this highly distracting background music has been introduced. Please stop - this makes it impossible to listen. This does not add anything positive to the podcast. It diverts attention from Candice’s excellent analyses. I’m hopeful this is also a failed experiment in audience reaction.

candleholidayGreat podcastI absolutely love this podcast it’s so different then other true crime podcasts I’ve listened to I love the insight on why Candice thinks these people did these things in the beginning I wasn’t willing to pay to listen to the wondery+ episodes but the more and more I kept I listening I was hooked and I’m glad I did
-
YilianneMy favorite!My favorite podcast ever! Candace is phenomenal! Still waiting on Richard Kuklinski’s episode!
-
crazycatkatieFascinatingThis podcast is a favorite and never-miss title in my pod queue. Candace’s incredible career and experiences make her take extra fascinating. The interview with Karen Conti was so well done and consummately professional.

djeejhdUsed to be goodIt used to be good, but now to listen to part 2 we would have to have a sub. I’m not paying for a podcast. There are others I could listen to that I donate money to. So I’m good
-
Mom of 3 in HoustonI used to love this podcastUntil they started making 2 part podcasts and hiding the second part behind a paywall. So disappointing and I’m going to stop listening since it is less interesting only hearing half.
-
EeverettsCadenceI love the concept but I can’t follow the narrators cadence. She pauses at weird times. It doesn’t flow like a good story teller
-
Sugarbooger927365421Love it, but...I love this podcast. It's by far my favorite true crime media source since it goes into the why behind the crimes, and that's what I find most interesting. Understanding motives from a psychiatric perspective is absolutely fascinating and I really appreciate the insight from Candace. Truly, my only complaint about this podcast is that there are SO many encore episodes! If the episode was already posted, even if it was a long time ago, why post it again? Why not just make something new OR just don't post anything at all? I find myself scrolling through literally dozens of encore episodes that I already listened to and it feels like such a waste. I can only assume they do it to get the ad revenue from the "new" posts even though the content had already been covered...

sarieboobooLOVEOne of my favorite podcasts! Please do an episode about Shanda vander ark, i would love your insight on why she would torture her son the way she did.
-
NicholeSSPVery well doneLove Candace! I could listen to her all day. Love her podcasts and her tv shows
-
Collette FrenchLeopold and LoebPodcast was very good, but to listen to part 2 you have to have a subscription. Not good
-
ngdkgxlgxpux onGet rid of BodiLike the podcast. I find the Bodi advertiser highly offensive.
-
AHCarrollKiller psyche that doesn’t analyze the killers psychethe host is knowledgeable but far too entertaining. She could be a reference that an experienced host refers to. Also, the show is called killer psyche but it’s often times only the story of the killer, not much mention on their actual psyche or any footage/tape on them at all.
-
Bella da wellsWhat’s yalls problem?I love this podcast, so much production goes into these episodes. This podcast is the only thing keeping me sane while I’m at work. I love Candace Delong’s takes on the actual psyche of the murderers compared to what they were evaluated as in court. If ads bug you there’s this thing called a fast forward button and it works really well! 🩷

MlathertonNarratorI don’t know how people listen to this?? She drives me bonkers. Like it’s either comical or just down right irritating. I think the people who say she’s great are lying. Surely. It’s gotta be a joke.
-
R in rocPaywall NonsenseSorry to say but I am done with this podcast. I could tolerate the ads but now almost all older episodes are shoved behind a paywall. Newsflash: these certain podcast conglomerates are ruining the podcasts they host. They’re just going to lose a ton of audience members. Guarantee this will cause the failure of podcasts like this when everyone stops listening. It’s a decent podcast but not enough to subscribe to certain infuriating podcast group. Bye

chixbassistLove the podcast but hate the musicI love this podcast but the music is a distraction. Too loud and unnecessary. It is getting to the point where the music makes it difficult to listen.
-
NicksnamedbuteverythingistakenNarrationGreat writing and research and potentially the most interesting show that I’ve ever heard, but the narration is so weak that it was difficult to listen to. Maybe consider somebody with voice acting experience to narrate and I think you have the best show out there.
-
CMJRNNurses Rock!Nurses are so seldom portrayed as experts in media. Candace is one of my nursing sheroes!
-
ljlankfordGreat ShowI consumed this show so fast! Her voice is nice to listen to and her story telling is top notch!! Great show!
-
nekewksnbdYou have your facts wrongIf you are going to do a podcast then maybe have your facts straight. It was starting to snow when Karen dropped him off. He was found on the lawn of the Albert’s not a snow bank. John’s injuries week to his face, head and right arm, no other injuries were noted by the ER physician. Several people deleted messages on their phones and several upgraded their phones. Brian Higgins got a new phone number, broke the SIM card and dumped the phone and the SIM card at a military base.
-
Nikki1492Really great true crime podcastSometimes I would wish more depth into the psychological part, but then again, maybe there is none. Maybe glassbowls are going to be glassbowls. And are going to kill. Or the “falling on the head as an infant/toddler/small child” explanation.
-
Runnermama13Hero worship?Host seems to blame all the behaviors of the criminal on others in their lives’ than on the criminal themselves. Many people have bad things happen, abusive parents and head injuries, but do not turn into a serial killer. Sounds more sympathetic towards the serial killers most of the time. It’s a little gross.
-
Jljuradonarcissistic parents…Very informative and I appreciated the topic. I don’t believe the emotional abuse of children is discussed enough. Especially given the lack of safety nets these children. Thank you
-
maria tentai used to love this podcast…until i heard Candace de Long do a commercial in her own voice. How can i trust anything she says after this?
-
ClapperGalUse 1.25 for playbackThe material is thoroughly researched. Great topics. The pace is extended like speech is dragged a bit. Recommend listening on x1.25 and it will flow more naturally. However, this podcast is fantastic!
-
Duh I'm DeafSome glaring mistakesFor the Ruby Franke episode, the max sentence is not 60yrs, it’s 30 based on Idaho’s sentencing structure. In the episode about Charles Whitman, there’s a statement about his wife not following him on a deployment to Cuba. Families don’t deploy with soldiers. Beyond these types of mistakes that accompany the volume of production, it’s an enjoyable podcast.

tingoloCaroline Herrling EP 40She goes by Carrie Phenix. I used to hang out with her about 15 years ago because she was dating my boyfriend’s friend. She was smoking meth back then, too. I don’t how she doesn’t have noticeable facial changes. Carrie was incredibly smart and always finding ways to make $, whether it was stealing things and selling them on eBay or hitting up ex-boyfriends. At one point, she was considering becoming a madam.

IsildrielThe Best of its KindHuge fan of Candice Delong and her straightforward analysis of both well known and lesser known crimes and criminals. For my money nobody does it better.
-
OsLo's MomI have been waiting for a podcast like this!It gives facts, not opinions. It leaves out unnecessary/filler details. The host doesn’t create fake dialog between the murderer and the victim. Host doesn’t make stupid jokes. The host gives explanations and causes to their psyche. Host even includes safety tips for if this should happen to you and WHY it works. I’m am all around impressed. It’s informative, educational and intriguing.
-
DflgmaAnnoyingly PedanticGood material; terrible delivery. Unless the show is for 8-year-olds.
-
blondeandmouthieAnimal abuse TW!I generally enjoy Candace & the way she recounts some of these horrific events. However, today I could t move fast enough to turn off the podcast when explicit talk of animal abuse was mentioned. Maybe I missed a TW at the beginning of the ep, but I usually never do. Anyhow, maybe throw in a warning when you’re about to mention the cruelty to animals.

k2yogiOne of my favorite podcastsLearn so much and see how childhood trauma really has affected. Love the host very informative & keeps my interest. Only thing I need more episodes! Keep up the great work. Thank you

Jalin MaFoxcatcher insight, please!Not sure where to make requests, so putting here 🫶: I saw both the narrative film, FOXCATCHER, 2014 (starring Channing Tatum, Mark Ruffalo, & Steve Carell) and the documentary, TEAM FOXCATCHER, 2016. I’m so interested in hearing what Candice DiLong’s psych evaluation of John du Pont would be! [In my eyes, there seem to be some striking parallels w/ Robert Durst’s story (THE JINX, HBO 2015).] Can KILLER PSYCHE please cover this insane case? Thank you for considering. Others chime in, please, if also interested 🙏 p.s. LOVE the show (cuz I always learn something)!!!👊🏼
-
JJ PaintingsCouldn’t make it through an episodeI tried to listen but couldn’t make it through an episode due to the ridiculous, distracting, unnecessary background music. There should be no background music at all, let alone music that is as loud as and competes with the narration. … Nix the music and I’ll try again.
-
RachWindySeems a little unfairI feel like a lot of these episodes piggyback off of other popular documentaries. They didn’t do of research on their own for each case. I also am not a fan of how many repeat episodes are uploaded.
-
The Voice Fry….Very good podcast.Great podcast. Only negative thing I could notice is maybe the host, Ms DeLong, hammering home her credentials beyond the show introduction. After the shows introduction, we really do not need to be reminded repeatedly of professional credentials.
-
rustyespioLearning so muchI am learning so much about the impact of childhood trauma and behavior patterns to be mindful of, and of course to lock my doors!
-
KatherineBLLove the advice!I’ve been listening since the first season - love this podcast! The John Joubert episode was hard to listen to but loved the advice given at the end. I appreciate that and have passed it on to my 2 young kiddos (and husband! 😉).
-
24mongooseReally poor fact checkingI have heard about this podcast for awhile and finally gave it a listen. I checked out the Bryan kohberger episode and am honestly shocked at how poor the fact checking for this episode is. They pronounce “Moscow” wrong, they pronounce “kohberger” wrong, they say that kohberger bought the knife he used to kill on Amazon which is completely unsubstantiated (the cops got a warrant for his Amazon clicks but no one knows whether he actually got the knife from there)… this podcast is like if 2 people who had read a little bit about the case on Reddit just presented everything they could remember people saying or speculating as fact.
-
asianone13Binge worthyI heard about this through another podcast (can’t remember which one) but great episodes that help the day pass by wuicker Edit: it’s 2024 and I’ve been listening to this wonderful podcast since 2021 or 2020(can’t remember). All the episodes are definitely binge worthy and entertaining. Allows a different perspective from a professional point of view.

classysouthernwomanJust mehSo. Many. Ads for a short podcast. Phew! Seems all I do is fast forward. Not worth it for the story being told.
