Big fan!
I’ve been a listener from the start and check the locks was an immediate “add” for me! Thanks for keeping things interesting!

Wow!
I recently discovered this podcast after a recommendation from another true crime podcast (can’t remember which one). I’ve downloaded every episode and I am binge listening. I love the chemistry between Olivia and John, it makes you feel like you’re sitting in the room with them. Just having a chat with your mates. This is now my favourite podcast. Keep up the good work guys. It’s a five stars for me would give you more if they allowed it!

A long overdue five star review
Having listened to every episode since the podcast aired, I owe Check The Locks Podcast 5 stars! Obviously this show and the hosts keep me coming back to push play. Olivia and John are simply the best true crime podcast hosts! Both hosts are dedicated to finding new and interesting cases every week. Each episodes begins with easy banter (without too much “gabby gabby”), and ends with a unique question that engages the listener. Keep up all of your hard work!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I’ve been listening to true crime podcasts for a while, and somewhere along the way I zone out and miss most of the story. John and Olivia find a way to keep me engaged throughout the entire episode. This is a great podcast, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for great hosts and stories you might not have heard about!

I’m locked in!
Check the locks is a great podcast and I look forward to seeing their new episodes pop up each week. John and Olivia have a good rapport. They share interesting cases that that are lesser known and perfect in length. Keep up the great work!

Fun true crime podcast
I like this flavor of podcast. I listen to this one regularly! Hosts have good chemistry and conversation without excessive yacking. Stories are interesting and suspenseful. Definitely recommend it! Thank you John and Olivia! Best Robin from San Francisco

Love the podcast
John and Olivia do such a great job researching and telling these stories in a factual way, without drawing the details out too much. Appreciate their fun banter and how easy this podcast is to listen to. I never miss an episode and always look forward to the new ones each week. Keep up the great work you guys!!

I started listening bc of mafs but stays because I love the podcast. Love that I can listen in one sitting without having to stop without getting to the end. 💕💕

A True crime MUST LISTEN
Olivia and John are amazing hosts- their chemistry helps for a flawless story telling experience. They are consistent with their episode release schedule which shows how much they care about their listeners. They have full length episodes and short on time episodes for those who need a quick listen! I love that they do the deadbolt test. It’s such a unique and creative way to rate the cases they cover, as well as a way for the listeners to relate and get their mind cogs turning. I am currently binging all of their episodes and couldn’t be happier with my experience.

Overdue - Ed
Hello John and Olivia, My review definitely overdue. As a fan of MAFS

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I typically enjoy delving into a thrilling book, but this podcast has me hooked! The short on time episodes are the perfect length between dropping off my kindergartener at school and returning back home. I look forward every week to hearing new episodes. The only downfall is that I am spending way too much on new outfits for my one year old daughter from Great Lakes Kid’s Apparel. My husband is just happy less Amazon boxes are arriving at our doorstep. 😂 Keep up the good work!

Best Suggestion
My sister ( heyyyy Kayseeface) sent me this because of the Ashley Pittman Scott case since we lived in Cordova not long before that case and we both LOVE Olivia. Now I’m OBSESSED, I listen while I work and any time I’m in the car. Thanks for making slow times for me 1000x better.

Olivia Cornu is a star
Check the Locks is a must for all true crime fans. Current and past crimes are dissected with passion and humor. Olivia is especially captivating and deserves her own show. I love this podcast!

Married at first sight versus terminator
I started listening to this podcast after watching married at first sight. I have to say that I was late to the MAFS party, but I’ve binged watched every season, because there was nothing else on TV, But when I started, I couldn’t stop. And then when I found out Olivia had a podcast and you were on my favorite season of married at first sight plus your podcast is with terminator LOL JK. John Conner I said I got to hear this. So I downloaded it and I’ve listen to every episode I’m all caught up and wait patiently for Monday’s and Wednesday’s so I can hear new episodes. You guys are wonderful together. I listen to a lot of podcasts because I have an office job where I can have music or podcast going all the time. True crime is my favorite and U2 are absolutely right up there at the top of the list. Thank you for everything you do.

Loving it!
I’m late to the world of podcasts but I am now fully invested in check the locks! Olivia and John have great chemistry, get straight to the facts and their love of Taco Bell is very relatable! Cheesy Gordita crunch please! I’ll be listening on my commute this fall. Thank you both!

Great Podcast!!
I am a huge true crime fan and I am also very picky when it comes to podcasts! As many of the same stories get covered by almost all true crime podcasters, I really enjoy listening to Olivia and John’s storytelling. I love how you both stick to pertinent information and not try to “fluff” your show to make it longer and drawn out! Keep up the great work and know that you have a listener here on Hawaii Island. Aloha!

Awesome podcast!!
I just started listening to your podcast and I am hooked. I’ve been taking walks at night and I started listening to the Bad Friends episode after I saw the post on Olivia’s Instagram. I am a true crime junkie and I am officially a new fan of Olivia and John!! Thank you so much!! You guys rock!!

Highly Recommended Podcast for True Crime Lovers!
I've listened to several true crime podcasts, and while I have enjoyed some of them, I find myself fast forwarding a bunch of them until they finally get to the point! I love being able to listen to Check the Locks while cleaning the house or on a drive. The podcast is perfect, because it's informative, to the point, AND we get to hear snippets of John and Olivia's life without it taking up more time than the crime covered! John and Olivia have a great rapport, and are pleasant to listen to. I love how they encourage listeners to participate with the Podcasters, and that the show now has fun swag!! Anyone interested in true crime should listen to Check the Locks!

Highly addicting!
I’ve known Olivia for awhile and never knew this side of her! I absolutely LOVE the balance of personal updates with the stories. One thing that stands out so much for this podcast over others is that they give so much love and detail for the victims. It’s a kind way to honor them. Now I can’t wait for Mondays and Wednesdays and I’d love to have even more episodes!

Love it!
I am such a huge true crime fan and I was so excited to find out Olivia from MAFS was doing a true crime podcast! You guys do such a great job with telling the stories and making them interesting but still being respectful of the victims. Keep up the GREAT work!

Thrilling
I am a documentary junkie. And normally just watch TV series! I came across your podcast in an ad. And decided to listen on my road trip from Colorado to Montana! I listened and could not stop listening to all the episodes. The 10 hours flew by and I realized I needed to turn off my car and was a little sad about it. I have since listened to your podcast on the way to the grocery store, while I’m cleaning, and on my way to work! By far better than any doc-u series, I’ve watched on television thus far. I am captivated by your voices and the true crime stories you pick. You have a loyal follower and I truly hope you continue to make episodes. Thank you!

GREAT Podcast!!!
I love this Podcast! John and Olivia have such a great relationship. I look forward to Monday’s and Wednesday’s so much as you guys give such good stories and mist I have never heard of and o definitely “check my locks” a lot more now. Please continue doing what you do as it remains my top true crime Podcast! Love that you guys are not monotone!! ❤️

Best True Crime Pod
I love the podcast! My wife and I listen to it on our way up north to see my parents. It’s very entertaining to listen to, and John & Olivia have a great chemistry with one another! The cases they choose are very interesting and intriguing. I like the small glimpses into their lives. Gives it a personal touch. Awesome Podcast guys!! Keep up the great work!! Thanks, Steve Paul

Big fan
I’ve been a huge fan of Check the Locks since I googled the Mafs updates and found out Olivia had a podcast. Now I’m hooked and love the podcast chemistry between John and Olivia and love the way the episodes are delivered. Congratulations on 700 members in the Facebook group. May the podcast continue to grow. I give 5⭐️’s

Absolutely LOVE this show!
I listen to a lot of podcasts and I’m always trying to find new ones but I give up on most of them after a couple of episodes. But Check The Locks is one that I’m always excited to listen to and I eagerly wait for the next episode. Keep ‘‘em coming and thank you for keeping me entertained on long drives and workouts!

Fan with a Plan ( suggested case doesn't rhyme )
Hello John and Olivia ! Love the show and listen to it when I am working ! I tried to find where to call and leave a fabulous voice mail for you Olivia but I could not find it! I wanted to recommend a case about a nurse who was living in Delaware ( where I also live and work as a nurse ) . She wrote a book called Shattered that I read years ago . Her name is Debra P Sharp and she endured an attack , rape and abduction from her own home ( did NOT check the locks ). She spent time in the abductors home - hogtied . There is a lot to this one and it surely scared me into locking up tightly ! Hope you enjoy it as well. Take care !

Great podcast
Very informative and well done podcast. Hosts are very engaging and easy to listen to.

Great show
I have been listening since the beginning- love the relationship between john and Olivia I would love to leave a voicemail for sweet olivia but I couldnt figure out how! Oh well - this us my voicemail- love you guys!

Love the pod!
John and Olivia take a no nonsense approach to researching and presenting these true crime cases. I’ve been hooked and checking and RE-checking my locks since I started listening!! Keep up the great work!!

Podcast skeptic now hooked!
A lot of shows have too much bantering back and forth before getting into the meat of the show. John and Olivia do a great job and their love for true crime shows in the effort they put in for with their research to really hook you from the beginning. I recently discovered this podcast and have found it be very fascinating! I always look forward to the next episode!
