Crime Junkie

Ashley Flowers and Brit Prawat deliver true crime stories with clean production and tight storytelling. Episodes follow a consistent format that works - one case per episode, presented chronologically with enough detail to be compelling without being exploitative. Flowers does thorough research and Brit asks the questions the listener is thinking. The show respects victims in a genre that often forgets to. Episodes run about 45 minutes which hits a sweet spot for commutes. One of the most popular podcasts in the world for good reason.
