Court is now in session and this couple is nowhere near resting their case! 

It starts with a name. A name whispered in an interrogation room, scribbled into police reports, passed along like an absolute that seemed to solve everything—too neatly, too quickly.

Then it was a truck. A checkbook. Fingerprints. Suspects. Lies. Like a deadly game of Clue, the very pieces you’d expect to matter most were the ones that slipped between the cracks. And in August 2007, when Danny Harris — a father, veteran, and lifelong Tennessean — was found brutally murdered inside his Memphis apartment, the case faded into silence. A story the public never truly heard—until now.

From StephTown Studios, host Stephanie Tinsley has spent the past year retracing these pieces—talking to unheard voices, convincing people to come forward, and bringing to light Everything They Missed.

Hosted by Brittlestar (Stewart Reynolds) and Lisa B., it’s smart, funny, and just irreverent enough to make the news bearable.

Julie Ann Garciacelay was not quite 20 when she vanished from her inner-city apartment in Melbourne 50 years ago.

Three men who were with her that night in July 1975 told police the young American left to make a phone call and didn’t return. One would be linked to the infamous Easey Street murders 18 months later.

Julie has never been seen since, nor has her body been found. Her disappearance is one of Australia’s oldest, most haunting ‘cold cases’. But investigative journalist Helen Thomas has unearthed new information about her vanishing - so far from home, almost lost in time…

San Mateo County Executive Mike Callagy and his guests explore the inner workings of our county government and the things that make living here so rewarding.

How to Be Anything is a documentary-style podcast that profiles people with unusual, surprising, and wildly specific jobs. From puppeteers to tower climbers to scientists who search for dark matter underground and in space, each episode explores how people end up in jobs no one tells you about in school—and what it’s like to build a life doing something most of us have never heard of.

This isn’t a self-help show or a career coaching podcast. How to Be Anything is for the job-curious, the creatively restless, and anyone who likes eavesdropping on someone else’s weird path through life. It brings a literary, documentary sensibility to work and identity.

The show is created and hosted by journalist Emily McCrary, and it blends deep curiosity and narrative storytelling to explore the stories that go beyond job titles.
