In various podcast episodes across the network (e.g., The Deck), there is a recurring theme of advocating for stricter gun safety laws and closing loopholes to prevent violent crime, which contrasts with MAGA's strong Second Amendment stance.
Notes: Advocacy is framed through the lens of preventing future crimes.
Policy-adjacent content that favors increased regulation of firearms is a significant 'Not MAGA' indicator, as it opposes a central pillar of the movement's platform.
Founder Ashley Flowers maintains a largely non-partisan public persona, focusing on true crime and advocacy rather than partisan politics. She has not made high-profile endorsements of Donald Trump or MAGA-aligned candidates.
Notes: Flowers is based in Indiana, a conservative-leaning state, but her content targets a global, diverse audience.
The absence of MAGA-aligned rhetoric or endorsements from a major media figure in a red state suggests a neutral or non-aligned stance, prioritizing business and advocacy over partisan signaling.
In February 2025, Audiochuck announced a $40 million minority investment from TCG (The Chernin Group). TCG, led by Peter Chernin, is known for investing in media properties that often lean progressive or mainstream-liberal, and Chernin himself is a significant Democratic donor.
Notes: This is the first outside capital raised by the company.
Financial affiliation with TCG suggests a move toward mainstream media institutionalism. Peter Chernin's well-documented history as a Democratic supporter and the group's portfolio (e.g., Food52, MeatEater) typically align with center-left or non-MAGA corporate cultures.
While not a primary focus, Audiochuck leadership and associated talent have occasionally signaled support for women's rights and bodily autonomy in the context of victim advocacy and healthcare access, particularly following the Dobbs decision.
Notes: Signals are often shared via personal social media or brief podcast mentions.
Support for reproductive rights is a core point of divergence from the MAGA platform. Even subtle signaling in this area indicates a Not-MAGA alignment.
Audiochuck has a long-standing distribution and ad sales partnership with SiriusXM and has collaborated with networks like Stitcher (prior to its sunset), which are generally viewed as part of the mainstream/liberal media ecosystem.
Integration into the mainstream podcasting establishment, which has faced criticism from MAGA figures for content moderation and 'woke' programming, places Audiochuck in the 'Not MAGA' camp by association.
Following the 2020 social justice protests, Audiochuck and its flagship show Crime Junkie released statements and episodes focusing on racial disparities in the justice system and the 'Missing White Woman Syndrome,' explicitly critiquing systemic biases.
Directly addressing systemic racism and media bias in crime reporting aligns the company with DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) principles, which are frequently opposed by the MAGA movement.
