  • Unlistenable

    I’d like to know the fine details of the Trenny Gibson disappearance. Unfortunately, I never will because the interviewee, Laura Riste, has such an unbelievably boring voice that it renders everything she says unlistenable. She’s like that bore who corners you at a party and three hours later you’re still desperately trying to get away.

    I just listened to this episode and got to wondering how many counties in this country is corrupt like this county, and Horry County in South Carolina??? How many crimes have been covered up in the past? Episode was excellent, I will have to add Dog with a Bone to my list of podcasts to listen to. It will put me that much farther behind in keeping up with all your episodes. But great interview.

  • Sigh

    It took at least 15 minutes before they actually went to the story. If you want true horror. Listen to seven. Whoo they are full on. I had to give up on listening to one story because it was the most disturbing thing ever.

671 // The Cult of Natureboy w/ Survivor Jenaé Newell & Director Ben Zand

Benjamin explains that the motivation grew from years of documentarian interest in Costa Rica, and how new information from survivors and online sources compelled him to revisit the topic in a broader, four-part series.
669 // Judith Anne Brown
Q: When did you first hear about Judy's disappearance?

663 // The Coldest Murder Mystery - Who Killed Ötzi?

Early investigators treated the body as a recent casualty, which delayed recognizing its true age and significance and postponed archaeologists' involvement, ultimately shaping the initial preservation and examination of the corpse.
