Meet Your Host: Brandi Churchwell
13th Juror host Brandi Churchwell, unpacks cases through the lens of an everyday observer.
A Georgia native now living in Florida, Brandi studied psychology and spent much of her career in business management and sports marketing before a Stage 3 cancer diagnosis shifted her path.

With her podcast 13th Juror, Brandi creates a space for listeners to follow the justice system from the perspective of a non-lawyer just like the jurors do. Her storytelling helps make sense of long courtroom days, connecting the dots so listeners don’t have to.
