Bingeing all the episodes

One of my favorites. If there was a Patreon, I would happily pay for ad free, maybe early access to episodes. I wish we could hear a new episode every week, but I will take whatever I can get! Jessica’s delivery is very natural, and her voice is relaxing to listen to. I enjoy the bonus episodes too. There aren’t any other high quality, Asia-focused true crime podcasts that I am aware of, so this is a gem.

Bingeing all the episodes

New favorite podcast! I was looking for a true crime podcast about crimes in Japan, and that’s how I found Jessica and Asian Madness. She does such a great job telling these true stories respectfully. I have also learned about the history and culture of many places throughout Asia. Her voice is relaxing and delivery is great also. Highly recommend if you’re interested in true crime.

Love!

I love this podcast. It’s very interesting and different from the cases from US. Love how Jessica covers history of the locations. Don’t stop this podcast Jessica…I know sometimes you talk about not continuing.

Highly Recommend

I’m new to this incredibly entertaining and informative podcast! I’m enjoying listening to this brilliant podcast which showcases international crimes and events which are centered on cases involving members of the Asian/Pacific Islanders diaspora. I was largely unaware of many of these cases and I appreciate the analysis and explanation of these stories and incidents. Looking forward to listening to what’s to come!

I just found you about a week ago

I am on ep 10, and I have to say I love your story telling! The cases you cover so far aren’t cases I have heard of, so thank you 🩵

Amazing Podcast, Even more Amazing Podcaster!

I cannot not recommend this podcast enough! There are so many true crime podcasts out there, but separating herself from the pack is Jess. Not just because she chooses to cover crimes done to people on or from the asian continent - but also because of the unique way she tells her stories. She is so in depth, caring, and all around amazing podcaster!

Love this podcast!!

I’ve been a listener for awhile. I have adhd so I’m terrible with time, so idk exactly how long, but I’ve been able to binge a few episodes at a time. Kind of like a yummy snack, I’ve been purposely hoarding episodes so I could listen to more than one at a time. Imagine my dismay and surprise when I saw that I’d listened to all of them! Sigh. Keep up the excellent work, Jessica. I appreciate all the research you put into each episode and have learned a lot about countries I’d never even thought of!

Well done podcast.

Straight to the point facts and keen observations from a host with an excellent sense of dry humor. Found the podcast on motherhood and Mayhem collab.

Very interesting and informative podcast

If you are interested in any podcasts like generation why, the peripheral or just very informative podcast this is for you the host Jessica is so good at what she does and never seems to miss a beat when it comes to trying to understand other people and their situation and I love learning more about Asia as I am an American citizen and have never really traveled anywhere it’s really cool to get insight about different places especially less talked about countries

One of THE BEST Asian true crime podcasts

This podcast has been one that I’ve been able to binge without eventually getting bored. Jessica has covered cases that I’ve never heard on other podcasts and I do feel guilty saying that I like her sometimes deep history lessons before getting into the gist of the case. Keep up the great content and hope there will be many more interesting episodes to come!

Jessica does her homework!

Thank you for giving geographic and socioeconomic facts about each country before discussing each case. This is great background information. I also appreciate the light humor and sarcasm to ease the dark topics.

Addictive and informative

I am always looking for good true crime Podcasts and I was very pleased by another True Crime podcaster who suggested it. I look for good research, good narrative and and this one has it. I like her comments and notes. I will definitely recommend it

I love it!!

I just started to listen your podcast and I cannot say other than I love it!! It’s super interesting, well explained and from many different Asian countries, which to me always had been mysterious because I don’t know much about them or their culture. Thank you for your time doing this to share with us and please don’t quit, I want to listen to many many episodes. Congrats!!

Interesting and Informative

I enjoy true crime content and I really like Jessica’s conversational and candid style. Many of the cases or topics she covers are new to me and I learn a lot from each episode. I also appreciate that the episodes are just the right length to be easily consumed.

I love listening to these episodes, and the insight and details about Asian culture is always cool to hear. The stories are great, and hearing how culture impacts how and why these things happen is very interesting!
