Great PNW Based True Crime

Elyse has a super relaxing voice and excellent pacing, perfect for true crime. I love that the stories all take place on the West Coast (and mostly in the PNW), and that she’s incredibly ethical and not at all exploitive with how she tells them. Her legal training is relayed in her professionalism and respect for the victim’s stories. I also love that she gives back to animal charities in so many different ways!

More of the same

I appreciated the effort but I want the host to tell me a story, not read me a Google article. I also deducted points for the loud LOUD intro music and for listing a cat as a “co-host”. She has a nice voice though, there’s potential here…

Great True Crime Podcast

I can not wait for the new episodes to come out. Love the format of this podcast and hearing about the PNW. Some cases I’ve never heard and cases that are known she does a great job in telling the story. I love when we randomly hear Winston in the background. She does an amazing job telling these stories while being respectful of the victims and their family. Also! True Crime Cat Lawyer stickers are fire! I love collecting all my Winston’s. I also love that proceeds go to help animal shelters and rescues. All around great person and great podcast!

Great listen!

Somewhat of a true crime buff myself, I found this podcast to be very easy to listen to, and to follow along. unfortunately, in today’s society, this show will never run out of content to cover. Nicely done short episodes great listen while I’m shopping and driving. Good job ladies.

Great podcast

Love hearing about so many Pacific Northwest stories. As an east coast transplant, learning about history in my area has been very interesting. Stories told in a succinct way that can be followed easily.

Must Listen

I adore Elyse and Winston, perfect duo! I appreciate the compassion extended to the people and their loved ones discussed on the show. The format of True Crime Cat Lawyer is perfect for quick listening without sacrificing quality. It’s nice to have a dedicated PNW podcast to highlight local to me cases and help get recognition and awareness out about lesser known cases. Keep up the great work!

A FAV

Absolutely love this podcast. As someone that used to live in the PNW it’s very interesting to learn about all these cases from that area. The host, Elyse does a great job sharing their story and talking about the case. Love to listen while I’m headed to work or cooking!

Wonderful podcast

Hi, I just found you guys and I’m hooked. You’re research is thorough. I’m typically not a fan of narrative podcasts but yours is great.

Somber and serious examination of the criminal mind

I was immediately drawn into this show in the Amanda Todd episode with the direct telling of the events that unfolded, delivered somberly and seriously to let the listener draw conclusions about both the perversity of the criminal mind and the injustice of some legal systems—concluding with the law today. Well crafted and delivered!

Wrongful Conviction and Sadness

I began with the episode on Ian about his wrongful murder conviction as a 16-year-old boy. It saddens me to keep hearing about police officers using their power to ruin innocent people’s lives, yet I was grateful to this show for bringing the case to my attention and it got me thinking about writing a novel about wrongful conviction.

Love short true crime!

I love short, digestible, true crime stories. Elise does a great job presenting facts of the case, and explaining them in a way that listeners can understand.

Great story teller

The host is a great story teller. I’d recommend putting more keywords on the titles so listeners know what they’re getting. Plus it’ll help with visibility :)

Great True Crime show

Elyse does a great job of storytelling. The place of the young girl Amanda, who was being harassed by a cyber bully, such an important topic to speak about. this show is informative and well done. I highly recommend it.

I only now, just at the two year mark, found Elyse and Winston. I suppose I'd best hurry and catch up.

5 stars for Winston

Hi! I love your podcast but that little meow at the beginning is just everything my cold black heart needed to melt. Who doesn’t love a lawyer, a cat and true crime?

The Cat’s Out of The Bag!

What can I say? I love true crime and I love cats! Combining the two is just genius! The details and information is well presented too. It’s got everything for someone like me.

What even is a true crime podcast unless it has Ms. Winston the cutest cat and also a lawyer that she owns? Elyse is among a favorite in the community and I love her coverage and knowledge on these cases and OMG THAT LITTLE MEOW AT THE BEGINNING
