Nick Storm is an Emmy-nominated investigative journalist and narrative podcast creator whose work bridges broadcast accountability reporting and cinematic long-form audio. A two-time regional Emmy nominee and recipient of the 2018 Society of Professional Journalists’ Louisville Chapter Investigative Television Report of the Year, Storm has built a career uncovering abuses of power and the human stakes behind public scandal.
He broke a major political story involving former Kentucky Governor Julian Carroll ahead of the broader Me Too reckoning, and his reporting has appeared nationally, including coverage for The Independent that drew millions of readers.
Storm is the co-creator, writer, and host of Are You Captain Purple, a charting investigative podcast that flips traditional true crime on its head — examining a mysterious do-gooder whose acts ripple through a community in unexpected and redemptive ways. The series has ranked inside the Top 20 on Apple Podcasts’ Series charts in its first month, signaling its rapid national traction.
With more than two decades in journalism, Storm now focuses on building narrative-driven audio properties that combine investigative rigor, character-forward storytelling, and a documentary sensibility designed for national audiences.
