SXM Media + Audiochuck Make a Killer Partnership

Founded by Ashley Flowers, Audiochuck is a female-focused podcast network, home to both scripted and unscripted podcasts in the true crime space. What began with Crime Junkie (BTW, the #1 podcast in the world and hosted by Ashley herself) has expanded into a full network that reaches an estimated 6% of all female podcast listeners. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. The network receives 52M monthly downloads and has an impressive 953M total downloads. With the addition of audiochuck, SXM Media now reaches the most female podcast listeners of any network, at an estimated 33%.

But the most exciting part about Audiochuck? Nearly every show has a female host who’s an expert in her field and the criminal justice system—from investigative journalists to former members of law enforcement—which makes for thoroughly researched and well-crafted stories (that maintain sensitivity to the victims).

Audiochuck doesn’t just have great content. They have a mission.

Crime Junkie is just one of the standout podcasts you can buy on. The network also offers Anatomy of a Murder, plus seasonal releases, like Park Predators and CounterClock, and limited series, like OC Swingers. And there’s more to come.

Not only does Audiochuck bring a vast selection of true crime podcasts, but the network is passionate about advocating for victims and families and proudly supports a wide variety of charities who align with this mission. Since its inception in 2017, Crime Junkie alone has contributed over $2.5 million dollars to charitable organizations and causes.

“Our listeners have always been more than just targets. We are so plugged into them and we engage them so much in the advocacy work that we’re doing, that I think that translates over even to ad sales… We are very invested in our listeners,” says Ashley Flowers. 

Of course, when you invest in Audiochuck on our network, you’ll have access to all of our tools and support, including advanced advertising solutions, third-party tracking, and analytics. And, Audiochuck's inventory will be available for both direct and programmatic buyers. 

This new partnership combines the best of true crime content with our reach of female audiences, so you can meet your listeners across even more binge-worthy shows. Learn more today.
