Audiochuck names media executive Evelyn Webster CEO to support global expansion. June 2, 2026 Audiochuck has appointed media industry veteran Evelyn Webster as chief executive officer, adding experienced operational leadership as the true crime podcast company expands its international audience, content portfolio, and broader media business. Webster joins Audiochuck after serving as CEO of SoulCycle and brings decades of experience scaling consumer media brands, leading digital transformation initiatives, and managing large content portfolios. She will assume the role in July 2026. The appointment marks a significant organizational step for Audiochuck as it evolves from a successful podcast producer into a larger global media platform. Founded by Ashley Flowers in 2017, the company now produces more than 20 weekly and seasonal shows and reaches more than 12 million monthly listeners worldwide. Flowers, who will continue as founder and chief creative officer, said Webster's experience building premium media businesses and expanding audience-driven brands aligns with Audiochuck's next phase of growth. Webster's background includes leading international operations for Guardian News & Media, where she oversaw expansion efforts in the United States and Australia, and serving as executive vice president and group president at Time Inc., where she managed a portfolio of more than 20 consumer and business media brands including Time, Sports Illustrated, Fortune, and InStyle. The hire reflects a broader trend across the podcast industry as leading creator-led businesses seek experienced executives to help build scalable operating models, diversify revenue streams, expand internationally, and manage increasingly complex content portfolios. Audiochuck's growth has been driven largely by the success of Crime Junkie, one of the most popular true crime podcasts globally. As audience scale increases, podcast companies are increasingly investing in operational infrastructure, content development processes, distribution strategies, and brand expansion opportunities that extend beyond individual shows. Webster said Audiochuck has created a differentiated position by combining large-scale audience engagement with investigative storytelling and advocacy-focused programming. Her focus will be guiding the company through its next stage of enterprise growth while supporting expansion of its content portfolio and global reach. The leadership transition also creates a more defined separation between creative and operational responsibilities, allowing Flowers to remain focused on content development, storytelling, and editorial direction while Webster oversees business operations, growth initiatives, and organizational scaling. As competition intensifies across podcasting, streaming audio, and digital media, companies with established audiences are increasingly looking to strengthen operational capabilities and build sustainable media businesses around their core brands. For Audiochuck, bringing in a seasoned media executive signals a move toward institutionalizing the company's growth strategy while expanding its presence in the broader global audio and content market.
