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
The first episodes are in production now.
Sigrid Stevenson Is Not a Ghost Story
A 25-year-old pianist was killed on the main stage of a New Jersey college theater in 1977. Nearly 50 years later, the basic facts of how she was found depend on who is telling it.
Cold caseComing soonEastpointe’s Court, by the Record

Podcast FAQs
When does the podcast launch?
Soon. It will be available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, and other podcast apps. Newsletter subscribers hear first when the first episodes are live.
How often will new episodes come out?
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.
Is it free?
Yes. Every public episode is free. Clutch Confidential members also get Case Notes, members-only audio from behind the investigations.
How do I sponsor the podcast?
Founding sponsorships are open now. See the media kit or email hello@clutchjustice.com.
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.
