Combining deep research with relatable commentary and candid storytelling, Serialously takes audiences beyond the headlines through case breakdowns, victim-centered narratives, and investigative deep dives. Serialously has been ranked #20 in the largest true crime podcasts in the US and the content is meaningful and binge-worthy, making listeners feel like they’re unpacking each case with a close friend.  

And audiences are hooked on the thrill. These listeners are young: 43% are ages 18-34. And 87% are female. Plus, they’re largely college-educated, meaning this is an intelligent, open-minded audience for advertisers to tap in to. And when you look at her reach across audio (4.2M monthly downloads) and video (2M monthly YouTube channel views), this is a great place for brands to connect with fans across multiple platforms. Advertisers can leverage sponsorship opportunities through audio, video, custom, and host-reads.

Behind every case is a story about real people that deserves to be told. On 10 to Life, Annie Elise approaches true crime through an empathetic lens, taking audiences inside everything from mysterious disappearances and unsolved cold cases to shocking revelations and high profile trails. She breaks down the red flags, missed opportunities, and her pursuit of justice while keeping victims and their stories at the forefront. 

Telling these stories is about more than following a case for Annie. Each episode raises awareness, educates audiences on warning signs, advocates for justice, and amplifies voices that have been silenced. Those core values keep audiences engaged across platforms, with 1.2M+ monthly audio downloads and 1M+ YouTube views. For advertisers, 10 to Life offers opportunities to connect with Annie’s engaged listeners through audio, video, and custom integrations.
