Names On File

Names On File

True crime from the court record. Every name here is a person.

Names On File tells the stories behind real criminal cases: the people, the evidence, and the trials that decide what happens next. Every episode is built from the record: court filings and transcripts, news archives and official releases.

How it's made: every case is researched, edited and produced by Steve Freake. AI tools help with drafting, editing and production, and the narration is a synthetic voice. We never use AI to recreate a real person's face or voice.
