This series, churned out by Josh Dean, his creative team, and the established media company AudioChuck, is creative and fun. Sometimes I need a break from true crime podcasts, and this is a Drama/Thriller series which fits the bill. I love the diversity of the stories, Josh’s style of weaving them together, and the thoroughness with which they’re researched prior to release.
