About the Host
Ashley Flowers & Brit Prawat
Ashley Flowers is the Founder and CEO of audiochuck, the award-winning media and podcast production company known for its crave-worthy content and storytelling loved by crime thriller enthusiasts. Ashley is also the author of the New York Times bestseller All Good People Here, a fictional crime thriller novel. As CEO, Ashley works hands on with her team to develop all aspects of the company and shows that she produces. She is also the host of several audiochuck shows, including top-rated hit podcast Crime Junkie, as well as The Deck, Red Ball, and Full Body Chills. While her shows draw in listeners with thrilling stories, Ashley and her team are always committed to developing responsible true crime content. In addition to her work at audiochuck, Ashley has been passionate about bringing her advocacy for true crime cases out of the studio by establishing her nonprofit Season of Justice. The foundation assists law enforcement agencies in solving crimes by funding grants that allow DNA testing for cold cases. She sits on the organization’s board of directors and works alongside the team to support crime fighters and bring justice to the families of the victims. Ashley was born and raised in Indiana, where she continues to live with her husband, her daughter, and her beloved dog Charlie. She also received a Bachelor of Science in Biological Services from Arizona State University.
Brit grew up on a steady diet of Forensic Files and America’s Most Wanted, eventually finding herself straight-up binge-watching taped interrogations on Youtube. She was actually the one who introduced Ashley to podcasts 3 years ago, so if you love Crime Junkie you can thank her! Brit worked for a P.I. for a while which, in our eyes, basically qualifies her to be a crime research expert. That being said if our facts are ever wrong… WE ARE NOT EXPERTS…When she isn’t getting Full. Body. Chills. she’s being a mom to her two amazing kids. In the rare moments she has time to herself (that’s hilarious isn’t it?), she is probably watching a documentary (she watches over 100 a year!) and knitting with her two dogs, Niles and Roz, by her side. Brit says she’s actually making knit items, but I really know she just keeps extra string around to make one of those bad-ass string boards that every amateur detective needs to solve a cold case.
