Crime Countdown

2,972

Who’s the worst serial killer? Where’s the creepiest cult? What’s the coldest of all cold cases? Ash and Alaina may not be experts. And they may not always agree. But… they’re counting down anyway! Crime Countdown is a Spotify Original from Parcast.

    Love the format and hosts. Hate the”research gods” choice
    The bit size format is different and I love the different categories and the friendly banter from Ash and Alaina! Love love love! I just wish we didn’t call the researchers “research gods”. It makes me cringe! Also, I love when Ash and Alaina share their own opinions from the list and point out when very notorious names are missing from the researchers’ list. You go girls!

    Boo Spotify
    I hate that some of my favorite podcasts are moving to Spotify only. It’s aggravating. Morbid better stay on iTunes or I’m starting a riot. I mean it.

    Your moving
    Can’t follow the move ….

    Love it….but disappointed
    Love the morbid ladies and love this podcast; very disappointed that it is moving to only Spotify. I won’t be downloading the app because I shouldn’t have to chase a podcast! It should be available everywhere! Would have given 5 stars but you lost 2 because I won’t be able to listen anymore!

    Reading reviews
    Bunch of pansies in the review section. How is banter a bad thing? THATS WHAT I LIVE FOR. Not downloading Spotify but hope they gave you a nice payday for being exclusive.
  • mjz1234567
    No longer listening
    Disappointed with the upcoming switch to Spotify (which I don’t have) we shouldn’t have to chase you guys all around to listen. I won’t be downloading Spotify nor will I be listening any longer. Dumb move ladies.

    Pretty good, but I won't be following to Spotify
    I'm peeved that this podcast is moving to Spotify, but not upset enough to follow them over there when I hate the way Spotify sets up podcasts. The only reason I don't give it 5 stars? Calling the parcast folks "research gods." I know it's in the script, but it's so cheesy and dumb.

    No to Spotify
    Such a bummer this is switching over to Spotify. Not likely to listen anymore because of this reason

    A fascinating podcast!
    The ladies of Morbid is bringing us another great podcast! This one is so fascinating to me with interesting subjects (ie cults, serial killers etc omg!) that each host brings to the table and rates them…a cool take on true crime. Another podcast fav!

    Great Podcast but not Spotify
    I love this podcast but hate that it’s moving exclusively to Spotify. I’m less likely to listen now that it’s moving there
  • chandlereverly1
    Too many opinions
    There is far to much banter going on. Also how do you have an episode about 911 calls and not play them. Also, the hosts personal hatred for BTK is so over the top and such “pick me” type attitude. You hardly ever hear any details about it when he is one of the people on the countdown cause they go into their own person opinions. We all know he is a crapbag. You don’t have to “like” talk about it “like” every time “like” it’s the biggest “like” deal “like” ever.

    Loving it
    I love everything about this parcast. Thank you.

    This is the perfect response to every “need recommendations!” post ever
    This is the perfect solution to needing recommendations. Every episode has a theme, the hosts go over ten cases for a couple minutes each. Each episode is like 40 minutes, you get enough info about a case to see if you want to delve into it. You look up the name in the podcast app or you google it. Boom. The adds are a bit long in the content: add ratio but with going exclusive on Parcast so whatever, get that money honey.

    Internet sleuths…
    This was probably my favorite episode so far, but I was bummed to see that Deanna Thompson (Baudi Mooven), and John Green weren’t on the list! Considering the Netflix documentary “Don’t F**k with cats” was such a hit, and the case was fully influenced by multiple influential internet hackers and sleuths across the world……

    Sorry to lose you
    I love hearing from these ladies but they are moving to Spotify so I have to say goodbye 👋
  • davinana439
    Okay…just okay.
    I love these gals in their original podcast Morbid, but you can really tell that they aren’t the ones talking the reins on this podcast. The countdown music and robotic voice saying the numbers really isn’t needed. It takes away from the flow of the podcast. I’d much rather have the hosts do the segues. Also about 1/3 of each episode is ads, it’s ridiculous. Seems like whoever made this took two beloved hosts and are just using them for profit.
  • Ohmymorgs
    Hosts rock
    They make it!! Love them from their original show, Morbid!!
  • tiredblogger
    10/10
    Love anything with Ash & Alaina & i learn something new every week
  • Gghhhkggg
    A solid 3.5.
    Too many ads, and you have to skip 4-5 minutes minimum to get to the actual episode. The countdown music is annoying. Love the actual content though.
  • VMSMama
    Re: Internet Sleuths
    I think the Don’t F with Cats people would have been on my list. That is all. Otherwise, good show!!
  • RachelS84
    Great concept
    Love the podcast but there’s a little too much banter and giggling.
  • nicknamehere?
    no to spotify exclusivity
    i love the morbid podcast and came to crime countdown for more ash and alaina. not only is the “countdown” format offensive to the families of the victims (insinuating that one murder is worse than another and invalidating someone’s feelings), but then parcast gives spotify exclusivity on the podcast? love morbid, but can no longer listen to a podcast that sells out to a major media company.
  • flyoverview
    Bye.
    Glad u got a deal from Spotify. Enjoyed while I could hear it
  • BonBon2214
    No to Spotify
    I love Ash and Alaina and Morbid. I’ve enjoyed this extra content with them. I will not follow to Spotify, though. Unfortunately, big media companies are taking over the podcast world now too, and it’s become about the advertising and revenue over the content and creators. Do better, Parcast!
  • TildaJean
    I love your show, bur Triangles and bigfoot
    Are just stupid.
  • AgathaC57
    FUN!!!!
    This is really a fun podcast. Some days I just want the headlines. You know those times you don’t have the mental energy to absorb any more ? Well, this is that espresso shot that hits the spot!
  • SimonesMom
    In tune
    These women are smart, insightful and confident. Raised as sisters, they finish each other’s thoughts sometimes and are always willing to follow each other’s riffs.
  • Damejayne
    Why bother?
    911 calls must be harrowing. It’s in the description of the episode, talked about throughout the episode and we NEVER hear one! All they do is describe them. Even a clip would have made it more interesting. As it is, it seems like you just lie. If you want an audience be truthful and don’t waste their time.

    BEST PODCAST OF ALL TIME
    Love the intros fell down the stairs cause of one of the story’s awesome background music hilarious for something so dark at times lol thank you so much
  • sandiegoRN37
    So. Boring.
    I’ve tried to listen to this podcast many times. I just can’t get into it. But the final straw was the top 10 911 calls. Who on earth thought it was a good idea to do an episode on chilling 911 calls and NOT PLAY THE ACTUAL CALL?! Such a joke. Done listening to this useless show.
  • katia vae
    Tooooo many ads
    I can’t even listen bc there are so many ads. Lost a true crime fan BC of all the commercials :(
  • Mama2Charlotte
    Ugh
    I tried to listen to the 911 calls countdown episode. They don’t play the actual calls. On top of that, the girls say “like” every other word, and it is maddening.
  • marissa1103
    Love Morbid!
    With that said, I love the banter Alaina and ash have, glad they were able to bring a little bit of that here. However I really was annoyed that they act shocked and surprised by the cases that they have already talked about on Morbid, and are talking about now on Crime countdown. Other than that, it’s a “fun” quick podcast.
  • AAndrade-
    Brockton girl here
    Elaina your in Easton, ma we are neighbors practically family lol...love you ladies❤️❤️
  • GandalftheFabulous
    I want to listen but just can’t
    Way too many ads for a 30min podcast.
  • JocelynJoJoJoss
    LOVE
    I love these ladies!! So glad I know have more of them!
  • Lindsayisawesome3
    New hosts
    No up to typical Parcast standards. Too much personality and not enough facts. More like an opinion panel than a documentary.
  • kiki101775
    More Ash and Alaina!
    I love this show just because I get to hear more of you both!
  • uhdaysia

  • missmcmotojr
    so good
    love these ladies!! i do wish there weren't so many ads tho.
  • ilovekeselowski
    Freakin LOVE it!!
    I finally got into podcasts and ‘Morbid’ was the first podcast I ever listened to and I have officially finished every single episode in the course of a little over a month. I decided to get into some more true crime pods and stumbled across this one only to see Ash & Alaina host this one as well. I can’t even explain how excited I was!! I LOVE these 2!! They’re adorable! They’re so funny and so relatable! These podcasts of theirs really gets me through my work day and sometimes I can’t even get my work done because I’m so captivated in their story-telling that I can’t focus lol Their research is so well done and I love their delivery in every episode. There are so many true crimes that I thought I knew SO much about, but after listening to these ladies, I realized I know nothing about about these crimes! Amazing work and PLEASE keep this podcast going! It’s such an entertaining countdown! Love you both!!!
  • Kimi1111111
    These Two 🥰
    I thought I liked this podcast a lot. THEN I listened to 80’s movies episode. When one host started quoting Scream from memory, I realized these are SOUL SISTERS. I love the format and the banter. So so so good.
  • 123@;$:$2$$:$.
    So Much Fun
    It’s weird that talking about crime could ever be fun, but here in lies this show. Alaina and Ash make this show very true crime by giving us all the information we crave while making us laugh out loud with there absolutely hysterical interjections. Keep up the great work! (All hail the Parcast Research Gods)
  • buddyellis313
    Love these guys
    Morbid rules and so does this show! Hahaha Also Scream! Rules as well
  • TayTayClaire
    Dumb
    Ash is dumb. You don’t have to be drugged for GHB to be in your system. Stop saying “sus.” Youve now used it too much, ruining anything cute that you’re trying. These are obvi all old records and then aired later- makes for crap content. Make things current and fresh, Man! This show is so dull!
  • BIGGESTWEIRDOEVER
    Question
    What was the one they said they covered on morbid for number 4?
  • scarfacelett
    Bite size true crime!
    Quick and fun little shallow dives, I’m about it!
  • NormalGenes111
    Yasss!!
    I’m so stoked that you guys have another podcast!! I love their podcasts so much and listen to episodes several times. I just found this new addition, I love it! They’re amazing hosts, researchers and comedians. 10 out of ten stars
