Description

Bear Brook, hosted by Jason Moon, is the critically-acclaimed true crime podcast from New Hampshire Public Radio.



Season 1 - Two barrels. Four Bodies. And a cold case that’s changing how murders will be investigated forever.



Season 2: A True Crime Story - Jason Carroll is serving life in prison for a murder he says he didn’t commit. The only evidence against him? His own taped confession. More than 30 years later, is it possible to get to the truth – and who gets to tell it?


Season 3: A Private Matter - A Christmas tree farmer vanishes from his small town. His wife never reports him missing. Can anyone find out why? New episodes starting Oct. 21, 2026.



Stephen King called both seasons “the best true crime podcasts I've ever heard. Brilliant, involving, hypnotic.” The New Yorker said season one “stands out for its ambition, complexity, and thoughtful tone.”
