Which true crime podcast is hosted by Ashley Flowers and Brit Prawat?

The true crime podcast hosted by Ashley Flowers and Brit Prawat is Crime Junkie.

Flowers launched Crime Junkie in December 2017, with Prawat serving as her co-host. The Indianapolis-based show covers murder cases, missing-person investigations, cold cases, and other criminal mysteries. Flowers generally leads the narrative and research, while Prawat contributes reactions, questions, and commentary that give the program its conversational format.

The podcast grew from recordings made in an extra bedroom in Flowers’s home into the flagship production of Audiochuck, the podcast company she founded. Its accessible storytelling and regular release schedule helped it become one of the most prominent true crime programs in the United States.

Crime Junkie is sometimes confused with Serial because both are famous true crime podcasts, but they have different formats and hosts. Serial is an investigative series associated with Sarah Koenig, while Crime Junkie is the show linked to Flowers and Prawat. The hosts’ long personal friendship is another distinctive part of the program’s origin story.
