Crimes that are so diabolical that they seem like almost fiction. Based on real events, Almost Fiction is a Podcast where we try to imagine what it was like when some of the worst crimes occurred. Using facts, reports, and evidence, we attempt to reconstruct what the crime scenes might have looked like as the crimes were happening.

I’ve noticed that Chase mispronounces names a lot. Herb Baumeister? Like herbs and spices. Herb is short for Herbert. The H is not silent. It’s not Erbert. He once did a whole podcast calling someone named Yvonne, - Yeevonne. That aside I love this podcast.
Chase does great research on the cases he talks about and has a nice calm voice that keeps you interested.
Love the nonchalant way Chase presents his facts. He’s got a smooth delivery and the show is obviously well researched and written. Perhaps Chase should write a children’s book based on one of the episodes…. Orrrr maybe not
I love Chases laid back relaxed way of storytelling. If other crime showed stress you out, try this one. I appreciate his work and attention to the details.
Chase, I freaking love you. Your podcast is awesome. I love the how you tell the stories and very thorough. I know you try to please everybody but You got to slow down a little bit when you’re speaking and telling the stories. Sometimes you’re going so fast it’s hard to process. I will still listen. I just have to rewind sometimes. Keep up doing the great job.
