The Clearing
Pineapple Street Media / GimletWhen April Balascio was 40 years old, something she’d feared for decades was finally proven true. Her father, Edward Wayne Edwards, really was a murderer. The Clearing is about what came after April called a detective in 2009 to tell him about her suspicions — a call that led to her father’s arrest and eventual conviction on multiple murders — and tracks the emotional journey as she and host Josh ... more

- So interesting!
What a well made and thought-provoking podcast. April is clearly an amazing woman, and I am very glad she decided to tell her story!

Very compelling story, and the storytellers recognize and protect the dignity of the very many victims.
I’d subtract only half a star because the music is strangely inappropriate at pivotal, poignant moments—when you’d expect a cello or a piano, there’s a dippy clarinet or oboe.

Apple Podcasts5Kriss14dUnited States10 months ago - My current obsession
This podcast has absolutely fascinated me. It is so well paced and presented that it’s difficult for me to set it aside. I’ve listened to many podcasts about killers and the fact that I’d never heard of Ed Edwards just blows me away. I also now follow Matthew Dear’s music. It’s wonderful!
I’m currently watching the documentary “It Was Him…” simply so I can put some faces to the names in your podcast. I’m completely hooked on following whatever murders may be cleared up in connection with that... more
