Career and Achievements
Flowers started her media career as a volunteer and then a board member for Crime Stoppers of Central Indiana, a non-profit organization that helps solve crimes. She was asked how Crime Stoppers could reach a younger audience, and she came up with the idea of Murder Monday, a 20-minute radio show that aired on a local station and featured a different case each week. She hosted Murder Monday for a year and then decided to create her podcast with Prawat.
In 2017, Flowers founded Audiochuck, a podcast network that produces true crime podcasts such as Crime Junkie, CounterClock, Anatomy of Murder, and more. She invested $13,000 into the company and sourced revenue from Patreon members and ads from AdLarge Media.

It has over 50 million monthly downloads and has been ranked as the number-one podcast on Apple Podcasts several times. Flowers and Prawat co-host the show and cover cases ranging from unsolved murders to missing persons to serial killers. They also raise awareness and funds for various causes related to crime prevention and victim support.
In 2019, Flowers and Prawat announced a national tour for Crime Junkie, where they performed live shows in front of sold-out audiences across the country. However, they also faced controversy when multiple sources accused them of plagiarizing other works, including newspaper articles, podcasts, and television shows. Flowers responded by removing some episodes of Crime Junkie and stating that the source material could no longer be found or properly cited.
In 2020, Flowers launched CounterClock, another true crime podcast hosted by Delia D’Ambra, who investigates cold cases in her hometown of Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina. The podcast has received critical acclaim and featured on Dateline NBC and The Today Show.
In 2021, Flowers published her debut novel, All Good People Here, which became a New York Times bestseller in August 2022. The novel is a fictional crime thriller that follows two women connected by a murder 20 years ago. The novel has been praised for its suspenseful plot and compelling characters.
In 2021, Flowers also brokered a partnership of Audiochuck with SiriusXM, a leading audio entertainment company that reaches over 150 million listeners. The partnership will allow audiochuck to expand its reach and content offerings to new audiences and platforms.
