781 - MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF: Tripp Brazeale

Crime Junkie is a weekly true crime podcast produced by Audiochuck, an independent media company headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana. Since its debut in December 2017, the program has been hosted by Ashley Flowers—the founder and CEO of Audiochuck—and Brit Prawat. The show follows a structured, conversational format where Flowers narrates the details of a specific criminal investigation while Prawat provides supplementary commentary, inquiries, and observations.

The podcast’s content covers a broad spectrum of true crime cases, including unsolved murders, missing persons, serial killer profiles, and mysterious deaths. A significant portion of the editorial focus is placed on underreported cases, particularly those involving victims from marginalized backgrounds or those that have not received extensive national media attention. The narratives are typically constructed using public records, trial documentation, and investigative reporting to provide a chronological account of the events and subsequent legal proceedings.

A defining characteristic of the show is its emphasis on victim advocacy and the practical application of forensic science. Through its platform, the podcast promotes and funds various initiatives aimed at solving cold cases, such as investigative genetic genealogy and advanced DNA testing. This mission is further supported by the nonprofit organization Season of Justice, which was established by Flowers to provide financial resources for cold case investigations.

New episodes are published every Monday and usually range between 30 and 60 minutes in length. Although the production is based in the United States and primarily features North American cases, it maintains a significant global listenership and consistently ranks among the most-downloaded podcasts on international charts. Crime Junkie serves as the flagship title for the Audiochuck network, which has grown to include a diverse portfolio of investigative series and fiction podcasts. The show is characterized by its specific pacing and its focus on providing actionable information to assist in case resolution.
