I’m learning so much! Where was this history when I was growing up? It’s pisses me off that the history we learned is all about White men. Thank you so much, Celisia, for this education. It’s invaluable. (I’m so sorry about what the financial guy did to you.💕)

I have made it a point to seek out podcasts that center victims as I have always found the true crime genre to be a bit problematic. I’m not surprised that the algorithm led me here. I have enjoyed the story telling and the thoughtful care given to each case, thank you and I am looking forward to season 3!

As a new listener being begged to leave a good review for several minutes is so off-putting especially the detail put in “how to leave a good review” … if the podcast is good people don’t need a tutorial on “what to write”

Great podcast, I appreciate that Celisia offers action items to encourage change

Narrator is so biased and “woke” it’s beyond sickening. Turned off before I finished one episode . I was super interested in this story in particular. Horrible podcast.

Well written and produced. My new fave podcast!

The true crime community is such an interesting space, filled with podcasts both sensitive to families and sometimes not- but it has always been lacking the important telling of the truth about our justice system, the micro and macro aggressions facing oppressed communities goes untold and without reparation. Celisia does a fantastic job telling these stories and shedding light into the dark corners of our justice system and the flaws within it, opening up the necessary conversations that should be had to make change in our system so we can correct these problems and create a more perfect union for all of us.

I’m surprised by how bad this podcast is! I love true crime and normally would be a fan and binge every episode. I couldn’t get through the episode on Darlie Poitier. The episode’s clear, unsubstantiated bias is offensive to the victims. Several other episodes I tried and couldn’t listen to either.

Good show but please cut back on the use of “sort of” peppered throughout—I stopped listening because it was so distracting.

This is such a great podcast. Love it and am excited for season 3

Celsius brings a new storyline to true crime with a deeper dive and eye opening new facts. The most mind blowing episode so far has been the MLK Jr episode. Subscribe now.

I’ve listened to much of Season 2 and returned to binge Season 1. I wish I had started from the beginning so I could fully appreciate the writing and presentation style even more! Perhaps it is only my experience - but the way Celosia weaves True Crime with the shortcomings of our society is nothing short of brilliant reminicant of other podcasts like Throughline. When you refer to serial kilers I deeply appreciate that you call out colonizers as mass murderers. Setting those ideas aside when listening to crime podcasts is so easy. Thank you for your impeccable storytelling and for giving us hope that we can impact future generations of victims and victimizers if we change society. Your work is inspiring and gives us hope for a better future.

I have been happily listening along and look for your new episodes every week. A lot of these I’ve heard before but learned something I hadn’t known before! Keep up the good work, you deserve to be successful :)

Celisia does deep and thorough research into all the cases she presents. Not your run of the mill true crime podcast.

Love the facts & statistics included. Also enjoy the voice.

This is one of the best well done podcasts I’ve listened to. I can’t wait for season 3

I’ve been a silent listener — this is my first review! After listening to the Alice Sebold / Anthony Broadwater episode, I felt compelled to share my thoughts. Well done, wow! What a powerful episode — it’s so refreshing to hear podcasts with hosts/writers like Celisia who not only showcase all of the evidence, but also call out their own biases and let the listener sit with it all. I didn’t know this story (which shocked me, as a woman of color who is very involved in the social justice movement and an avid reader of Alice Sebold’s work) and am so glad it’s being told. Thank you, thank you, for all of your work! Please don’t stop making this show!

I’m looking forward to Season 3!!!

Enjoy your Tenderfoot Podcast. Hope Your goal of 2000 will be achieved. Onward to many more.

These deeply humanizing stories shine light on victims of crime, while also reckoning with the context of structural violence. I’m grateful for Celisia’s thoughtfulness behind each episode

I found the podcast amateurish and desparately in need of a good editor. The host has her own biases and propensity for oversights that wholly undermine the purported nature of its schtick. Recommend you pass on this if you’re a true crime junkie with any education or intelligence. And if you get squeamish listening to vocal-fry voicing, the host will have you on the ceiling.

Compared to other True Crime I love to watch and listen to, this is saturated with personal bias and lots of opinion rather than just interpreting facts. I gave a few episodes a try but found more of the same. I would recommend other podcasts like Crime Junkie that stick more to just telling the facts and less commentary and opinion.

In a world with a ridiculous number of true crime podcasts, this one is a standout. The stories are meticulously researched & told with compassion.

This podcast is extremely thorough and provides a nuanced conversation about “true crime” while educating listeners along the way. Highly recommend a listen!

Started listening today and I am hooked! Absolutely stunning writing and your voice heavenly!

Excellent research, compassionate views.

Love the stories, the pace, and narrator.

This work is beautiful. The care and thought that goes into the stories that we tell each-other and ourselves is an art and voice for the moment. Thank you for your critical thinking and depth and care for the connection to humanity.

Thank you for the work you do to enlighten your listeners. Difficult, but very meaningful work. Thought provoking.

Very well covered and investigated crime stories, ending with a larger moral lesson for us all. Love Celisia.

Love the action prompts at the end of every episode….well thought out. The content of the show is also well researched and the host does an excellent job of ensuring we are responsibly consuming these stories.

I love that this podcast highlights crimes that others may not consider. Celisia is also a great host and is not afraid to touch the topics others may be hesitant to.

Just recently started listening to this and I love it. Researched and very well written. I like the interviews and the thoughtfulness that has gone into the shows. No jokes, no low hits. Good journalism.

i am so glad i found this pod. thank you for the work you’re doing. the season finale brought me to tears. can’t wait for Season 3

This is true crime that doesn’t just rest on the laurels of sensationalism. The host, Celisia Stanton, has a very pleasant voice and an objective view of the cases, while remaining very human (ie, we’re not just getting cold, hard facts). I’m glad I found this podcast to add to my true crime rotation.

Really enjoying the show for its handling of the sensitive subject matter of true crime. Much more respectful of the families and life of the victims. Glad to see this genre progressing.

Celisia has a fascinating story as a person herself with her father's murder... and I love that she is working to help others.

This is the type of true crime podcast that I like listening to. So well presented and researched. I’m glad I found it.

I love Truer Crime. Very well produced, the host is thorough and poses important questions. Even if you’ve heard about the cases before, you NEED to give these episodes a listen because you’ll look at them completely differently at the end. Highly recommend!

An amazing show. Long time true crime consumer…this is the lens I want to see it through.

Love Celisia’s telling of these storytelling!

Thank you for bringing such a fresh and needed perspective to true crime. Driving into the stories in a way to honors the victims and questions the often told narratives. I appreciate how every episode has takeaways and action items. This is the way to responsibly talk about true crime!!

Stanton does an amazing job narrating and researching these cases. It’s a joy to listen to every week.

Stumbled across this show by chance and I'm so glad! I love the different angle the narrator brings to her cases. I listen to a lot of true crime podcasts but this one feels totally different and is a refreshing change to my typical rotation. Cannot recommend enough!

Celisia is genuine. Her voice is amazing too.

Love this show and action steps after each episode!

I have been listening to true crime podcasts longer than I’d like to admit and I have found this podcast exceptional.

Fresh eyes, fresh voice, fresh perspective.

I found this show a month ago and have already binged every episode of season one and two. Celisia brings a fresh perspective to stories a lot of us have heard and brings awareness to ones we should have heard about.

A wonderful mix of journalism and emotional intelligence. You give a voice to the victims of these crimes.
