Love the format of this podcast especially the deadbolt scale discussion afterwards. I’m a fan of Olivia from MAFS and now I’m a fan of both of you. Hopefully lots and lots of episodes to listen too in the future!

Addicted!
Love this podcast. I am so happy I found it. I also love the Facebook group to discuss the episodes. The hosts play off each other well. The stories are told smoothly and the stories they do are always interesting. One of my new favorites!

Keep up the GREAT work!!
Let me start off by saying I’ve been a fan of all things true crime pretty much all of my life, however I’m very picky and have a hard time finding true crime entertainment that is actually enjoyable. I found this podcast by happenstance and I’m OBSESSED! Finally, a well researched, highly enjoyable podcast with amazing hosts!! I absolutely love the cases that have been discussed so far (not super well known cases), I love how the hosts interact with their fans and how they interact with each other on the show. One episode a week is not enough!!

This is awesome!
My fiancé and I are huge True Crime enthusiasts, and when I came across this podcast, I didn’t even realize that it was co-created by a good buddy of mine from high school, back in the Mitten! I was just naturally drawn to the show. John bring at the helm was just a bonus! Keep the stories coming! And let me know how we can help!

Check the Locks podcast! My new favorite guilty pleasure
I’m obsessed with true crime podcasts and have been listening for years. When I came across this recommended podcast I knew I had to give it a listen. I binged all episodes in the same night. John & Olivia know how to keep you listening and wanting to learn more in true crime fashion. I enjoy that they research cases that aren’t known as well which has given me a new found shock value on just how much horror truly happens in our world! Keep up the great work and look forward to new weekly stories. I definitely check my locks every night before bed…

Amazing
You two are doing an amazing job with your podcast. Honestly unsure how I fell upon it, but so thankful I did. You are actually my first podcast that I’ve ever listened too. Sitting on the edge of my seat for a lot more episodes.

I love it!
I love this podcast! The hosts do a great job of sharing a story while adding some levity for those of us that love true crime, but get easily spooked! I love the interaction and banter between Olivia and John!

Really enjoying this pod! It has been fun to see how quickly John & Olivia have settled in to a good on air rapport and the cases so far have been interesting. The most recent episode (Check the Crawlspace) needs to be a regular feature! Keep it up, y’all!

Straight. To the point. Super fun!
This is such a great podcast! I binge listen to stuff like this at work, and tend to tune out at some point…. not with Check The Locks! The hosts are fun, have great chemistry and are not arrogant like some other true crime hosts can be. The topics hit close to home and you can truly relate to the stories. There isn’t a lot of speculation or deep analysis of what happened. Just a straight forward story and facts. It’s refreshing and captivating! Can’t wait for more episodes!!!

Can’t stop, won’t stop!!!
Omg! I love your show sooo much, I can’t stop listening! John and Olivia have work so seamlessly together on the pod it is easy to listen to! I also love that you just tell the stories and leave out to much extra chit chat. Hard to find a podcast that gets straight to the point that is enjoyable! ❤️❤️ thank you for making such an amazing podcast that is informative and fun to listen to!!

Probably the best review ever
Have loved every episode, and found myself Googling about each case after listening. Was thinking about the Taco Bell murder here in Bossier city while listening to the first episode and was glad it got a little shout out. (Also never deterred me from their fine dining, YOLO.) As far as deadbolt scale, cases involving victims with no real connection to the assailant, always a 10. P.S., The killer nurse episode left me with the most questions!
Great Podcast
Update This podcast keep getting better! I found this and it was so good that I listened to all of the episodes. I love the chemistry between the hosts. They both have different careers and I like hearing both viewpoints based on their life experiences. The deadbolt rating system is great. If you like true crime, knowledgeable hosts and great subject matter, this is the podcast for you!

Your new binge listen!
Fans of true crime podcasts - and there are many of us! - will find "Check The Locks" John and Olivia the most succinct, easy-to-follow, straightforward story-telling hosts around. They don't stuff the narrative with unnecessary details; when John talked about his personal connection to one of the crimes and Olivia talked about her knowledge of New Orleans, it added to the context of the story without getting derailed. The episodes are the perfect length, too! Not so long that you get tired of them, and just long enough to get a great story. The check-the-lock-meter is a very cool bookend that closes each episode! Really glad I found this podcast ; I can't wait to hear more!
Amazing Ride!!!!!
I binged listened to all current episodes and I was gagging for more podcasts!!!! I absolutely love the energy between Olivia and John!!!! I felt like I was the third person in the podcast! I appreciate the fact checks and the many references to the time period these crimes were committed. It made me feel like I was a third person observing these crimes in motion. BRAVO!!!

Great
First off let me congratulate you on telling stories with a conclusion. I hate when the case hasn’t been solved. Also thank you for the clean language! It’s hard to listen to some of the podcasts due to all the profanity! And having been a married at first sight fan of Olivia’s she rocks!

Anxiously waiting!!!
I have so enjoyed listening to the podcasts and am ready for more!!! I love that you do true crimes that are not always top nationwide stories! My heart was sadden by episode 5 that his family did not dig deeper and so thankful his body was found!

Super interesting show
I love the show. Wasn't really a big listeners of podcasts until I saw yours advertised on fb. Look forward to Mondays. I often work nights so usually listen to it on way home from work, so I tend to make sure the garage door goes all the way down on those mornings. Thanks for the show.
Actually made me check the locks
I really love this podcast and believe this is my favorite one.I was hooked after the fist episode due to my love for crime.I’m glad they put this in my recommended.

Definitely made me check the locks!
I listened to the first two episodes today and they were both told very well. I enjoy both of their voices, and I like that they do a little extra talking but they don’t ramble on excessively. Both episodes sent chills up my spine and made me check the locks!
