Clutch Justice: The Podcast
Clutch Justice: The Podcast
Okay. You need to hear this one.
The investigations, court records, and cold cases from Clutch Justice, told out loud. Every episode starts from the record: what happened, what the documents show, what doesn’t add up, and what happens next.
The Show
No dramatic narration and no theories presented as fact. One host, the records, and a plain account of what they show.
Investigations
Clutch Justice reporting on courts, prosecutors, public officials, and institutions, walked through document by document.
Courts and the record
Judicial accountability, public records, and the filings, transcripts, and FOIA responses behind them.
Cold cases
Unsolved cases where the story outlived the file: what the record allows, and what the retellings added.
First Episodes
Episodes 1 and 2 are live on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, iHeart, and Amazon Music. Here is where the reporting starts, and what is coming next.
Sigrid Stevenson: The Evidence Left on the Stage
A 25-year-old graduate student was found on the main stage of a New Jersey college theater in 1977. The police report, the medical examiner’s summary, and the floor plan tell a different story than the one everyone repeats.
Cold caseListen nowEastpointe’s Court, by the Record
A one-judge district court, seven public records, and what they show about who works there, who gets paid, and what stays off the record, ahead of the November 3 election.
CourtsListen nowThe Shooting of Joey Nagle
A fatal police shooting in Allegan County, conflicting accounts, troubling questions about the physical evidence, and an investigation that deserves a much closer look. Back to the records to examine what happened and what still doesn’t add up.
Police accountabilityComing nextThe Oakland County Child Killings
One of Michigan’s most notorious unsolved cases. Decades of theories, investigative failures, and unanswered questions, with the documented evidence separated from the speculation.
Cold caseComing soonNorth Fox Island
A disturbing chapter of Michigan history involving child exploitation, powerful connections, and questions that have lingered for decades. The documents, the people involved, and what the historical record actually establishes.
Cold caseComing soonThe Murder of Erik Cross
A teenage boy killed in Michigan in 1983, a family that has waited more than four decades for justice, and heartbreaking questions about what investigators knew and why accountability has remained so elusive.

At least twice a month, with shorter breaking-update episodes when a filing, ruling, or record changes a story. Episodes come out when there is something worth hearing, not to fill a calendar.

How do I sponsor the podcast?

Do sponsors influence the reporting?
No. Sponsors receive no preview and no editorial input, every sponsored episode says so on air, and Clutch Justice does not accept sponsors who are subjects of its coverage.
Can I suggest a case or send a record?
Yes. Use the Clutch Intel tip portal. Every submission is reviewed, and a tip is never published without verification.
