yea no he was straight tortured. no man would do all that to his back and to his genitals for "suicide", more like "torture and murder" the hesitation wounds is torture wounds of someone wanting to hurt him but not kill him yet.
i honestly believe the fire fighter more, like she said, they brought out the bible and we're ready to put on a show
excellent podcast!
is there going to be a Season 3? 🤞
Unlistenable...the male host sounds like a sensationalist night time tabloid anchor.
Wow your show is amazing, love the amount of research you guys put in and your banter, this pod is one of the greats.
I love this podcast! I'm completely hooked.
interesting story, could do without the liberal douchebag comments of the podcaster.
Wow! Season 1 is probably the best podcast series I've ever heard. I listen to podcasts for an average of 10 hrs a day through my work day and must say your work is incredible. Looking forward to starting season 2 tomorrow. Keep up the great work!
Top notch narration and great great pace!!! This is a gripping story about drugs. Time umm
Anyone else having issues with this episode not playing?
His name is James Anderson!!

His name is James Anderson!!!!! There.... now you can tolerate the beeps.
"Half Mormon, half Honduran". I once knew a guy who was half Agnostic, half Ukrainian... FFS.
Season one is excellent and season two is shaping up to be even better. These are both very well researched and narrated stories. I would definitely recommend both seasons to anyone one who enjoyed Serial, In The Dark, or other such podcats.
Did he have anything on the Clinton's?
Riveting! No ads (thank you!). Already engrossed in Season Two by this crew on a new subject.
i agree with everyone's positive comments. fine job mr Payne.. looking forward to S2.
Thanks so much John. Working on Season 2 as we speak!
