Better than the rest!

I like to think of myself as sort of a true crime podcast junkie because I’ve got a rotation of about 5 that I work through on a regular basis. I have to say, after recently discovering Check the Locks, it has quickly become my new favorite and most anticipated weekly listen! Olivia and John aren’t trying to be comedians, getting giddy about murder, or doing heavy self-promotion like some others I’ve listened to—and they’re also not covering the same cases that everyone else is. These two glorious humans get straight to the facts and cover cases I’ve never heard of, while lacing in their personal anecdotes or connections to cases, and even include stories and call-ins from their listeners. Their research is thorough and they always keep it interesting. I like that at the end of every episode they do a deadbolt test to see where the crime ranks on their scary meter. This podcast offers a fresh take on true crime—and one that we can all feel connected to on a human level. Thanks, Olivia and John. Please keep up the good work!
