Kelly Jennings’ Unspeakable is everything a true crime podcast should be — deeply researched, powerfully narrated, and emotionally resonant. From the very first episode, Jennings pulls you in with her voice and unwavering commitment to telling the stories others shy away from. She dives beneath the headlines and sensationalism to reveal the raw humanity, injustice, and complexity behind each case. What sets Unspeakable apart is its courage. Jennings doesn’t just recount crimes; she challenges systems, explores the psychology of perpetrators and victims, and gives a voice to those who’ve been silenced. The storytelling is immersive, respectful, and thought-provoking, and you can feel the weight of every word. Whether you’re a seasoned true crime aficionado or new to the genre, Unspeakable will stay with you long after the episode ends. It’s more than a podcast — it’s a reckoning for the guilty.

Great Podcast wish it was on more often!

I freaking love KJ & everything she is doing! She gives detailed information so that people can be aware of the dangers always surrounding us!! Has nothing to do with who you identify as but that people of all types, shapes, colors, religion, etc. can be dangerous!! Stay alert!! Keep it up KJ! Love your passion!!

I have NEVER been a podcast girl…but unspeakable is so amazing. KJ’s podcasts are like being on the phone with your best friend and talking about an unspeakable crime. The ONLY podcaster i can and will listen to. She truly cares about these victims, her listeners, and doing what she loves and it shows!

You must listen to this show!!! I love this show!!! It is my favorite show or series out of all the ones out there!!! You MUST listen to it!!!

I can’t get enough of KJ. She tells us like she sees it. She gives us information that we probably don’t know because of her expertise. I appreciate that. She has a great sense of humor that adds to the truth she is giving us.

KJ is the all time best at true crime story telling, you can feel her pain as she digs deep into these cases finding out as much as she can about the victim, I’ve never listened to an episode and got bored, I’m always intrigued and wondering what’s going to happen next, I’m always surprised at how cruel people really can be and Kelly’s passion for helping and recognizing people is unbeatable. I wish I would’ve had a teacher like her in school but for now I’ll educated myself with every episode the woman drops and then some. If I could give ten stars I truly would.

Your podcast is my #1 favorite one!! It’s informative and I love how you explain the cases in such depth!! And how you share photos after and updates as needed!

I love listening to KJ tell these stories! Everything from her personality & perspectives are always fascinating & great! Agree with her with everything!! Keep up the good work you do KJ!❤️

Look y’all, I am a listener and actually enjoy KJ’s story telling. However……..I’m wondering if she can’t stop and think about what she says sometimes. She seems obsessed with body types and what people look like and seems to prefer the societal norms. The reference today was describing lesbians. What happened to you as child to have you think this way?

I love this show, I love KJ’s storytelling. I understand that there is a lot of work that goes into podcasting but it is super frustrating to be listening along and mid-word or mid-sentence an ad is thrown in. Many shows wind down to a spot that lets you know an ad is coming. At the very least…can we finish the sentence and then throw the ad in??

I have listened to so many podcasts, where the hosts just talk the whole time. It takes forever for them to begin telling about the case. Kelly is an awesome storyteller, and I love that there’s no filter with her! She tells it like it is. You have gained a new listener!!

Can you guys look into doing the case of Antoinette Venditti Bruce? She seemed like an amazing and lovely person with a huge caring family —she was stalked and killed by a coworker of hers. There is no podcast coverage of this case and barely any news articles about the person she was. There’s one 30 minute tv show (the killer beside me) that covered it quite a long time ago. I just think she seemed like an awesome person and it’s definitely a good example for others regarding stalkers (to take it seriously) and especially when it happens in the workplace. This tragedy shouldn’t have happened and her story deserves more than a blip in the media. It fell through the cracks a little because she lived in Connecticut but he killed her in Rhode Island because he followed her there when she was on a work assignment (specifically to get some space from his escalating behavior unfortunately). It happened in a small town in RI with not much coverage really because she wasn’t from there. It’s an improvement story for everyone to hear because there were warning signs and now this lovely person is gone. You said you lie cases that have been adjudicated and yes thank goodness he is in prison now. I think your audience would really enjoy hearing about the kind person she was. It was because of that kind nature of hers that she ended up giving this dirtbag too many chances. (In my opinion) It would be so nice to put attention on this one due to her personality and likability—along with a situation that maybe someone else out there is struggling to deal with. That one show is really the only thing I’ve seen in the media about her case and it was quite a while ago. I’m sure it’s painful for her family. Your show would be a good place for people to remember HER and the event that never should have happened—thank you

KJ your retelling of horrific crimes is commendable. I think it’s important to tell/hear as close to possible what victims suffer through. I remember hearing about Laken Riley’s murder when it happened but you put the emphasis on how unjust and tragic her murder was. I cried, had chills, and I’m angry. What a beautiful lady with such a bright future unfairly stolen from her family, friends, and community.

I love this podcast and I just found it. Host is really into the story . Sorry I didn’t find it sooner.

Great podcast. Kelly is impossible to not love! She’s got so much personality and tells it like it is. My only complaint is that there are so many ads for AI intelligence and it just creeps me out. Every commercial break, they play this ad for AI. Very distracting and just kind of creeps me out.

When I first Kelly on a guest host on RLRC, I knew she was definitely made for podcasting. I live just over the MS line. Love local shows. This one’s the best!

Kelly is the real deal.

I absolutely love this podcast! I met her yesterday and she is the kindest. If your not listening your missing out.

KJ!! You are absolutely the best!! I have recommended you to so many people because every episode gets better than the last!! You are so funny and natural and I love your accent! You make the listener feel like we are friends in real life lol!! ❤️

I LOVE this podcast but…. PLEASE work on the editing. You will be mid sentence and an add starts. Its maddening! But I love Kelly and the stories she tells.

This review is more about the placement of ads than the show itself, which is both compelling and well done. I can hardly stand to listen to it anymore due to the ads every five minutes. And what’s most annoying is that the ads (at least in Apple Podcasts), come mid sentence during Kelly’s storytelling. She’ll be describing a crime scene and saying something like “and investigators found a skull-“ then suddenly, “CH-CH-CH-CH CHUMBA!” Kills the flow.

I’ve been listening to crime podcasts for a while. Recently started listening to you. You are the best. You’re passionate, funny and so fun to listen to , even though the subject matter Is awful Most of the time. Sadly I’m obsessed with crime stories. I think my husband thinks I’m nuts🤪

I love the description of the parties at beginning. I don’t know why but it tickles me how detailed it is. Wonderful reporting!!

Kelly is passionate about what she does and does it well.

Your enthusiasm and attention to details are on point, l listen to you on the way to work, which is an hour drive you wake me up and sometimes have my blood pressure up by the time I get there, but that’s what a great story teller does, you keep my attention (even though I have ADD lol) Keep up your great work!❤️

Great story telling and in depth investigation. Felt like I was there when she broke down the story!

I love true crime, and I LOVE KJ!! She’s so funny and relatable! Keeps you wrapped up in the case, and entertained with her quirkiness!

Great podcast but lately it appears everything is for subscribers only, that makes people just go to other podcasts that don’t require subscription.

Looks like everything is just for subscribers now.
