In a world where truth often feels stranger than fiction, PERPLEXED was born from our obsession with the unexplained, the unsolved, and the utterly mystifying.
We started this podcast because we believe every mystery deserves to be heard, every victim deserves justice, and every unexplained phenomenon challenges what we think we know about reality. From chilling true crime cases that baffle investigators to paranormal encounters that defy logic, we dive deep into the stories that keep us awake at night.
Join us as we explore the darkest corners of human experience and the most perplexing mysteries our world has to offer. Because sometimes, the questions are more fascinating than the answers.

What started as a reason to understand why I was staying in the Army became a new obsession with sitting down with fun individuals and talking about their lives and what they think about the world. Please listen up and share the word because we are having fun and learning things.
In the midst of a federal investigation into Georgia’s prisons for civil rights violations, we decided to use one prison in South Georgia as a case study. The things we found are chilling. An 88-year-old man is shot while he’s sleeping. Another man is murdered one county over. A woman is found dead in a mobile home park. And somehow they all link back to the same prison, illuminating many of the complex problems that plague our criminal justice system. This reporting is supported by the Center for Collaborative Journalism and The Georgia Virtue.

The Pulitzer Prize and Peabody Award-winning “You Didn’t See Nothin” follows Yohance Lacour as he revisits the story that introduced him to the world of investigative journalism. Part investigation and part memoir, Yohance examines how its ripple effects have shaped his life over the past quarter-century.
In 1997, Lenard Clark was beaten into a coma by a gang of older white teens simply for being Black in a white neighborhood. One of Lenard’s attackers was from a powerful Chicago family. The media quickly turned towards stories of reconciliation and racial healing, with cooperation by Black leaders and the attacker’s family.
Yohance wasn’t having any of it.
At the time of the attack, he was in his early 20s, writing plays, selling weed, and living at his dad’s house on the South Side of Chicago. Unable to stand by silently, he began working with a neighborhood newspaper to investigate the vicious hate crime. Reporting on the incident led him to grow increasingly disillusioned with journalism.
From USG Audio and the Invisible Institute – creators of the 2020 Pulitzer Finalist podcast “Somebody” – “You Didn’t See Nothin” finds Yohance back in Chicago after a 10-year prison sentence, tracking down key players to examine how this story connects to our present moment.

The Bully Pulpit has merged with the Let’s Find Common Ground podcast. As the tone of public discourse becomes increasingly angry and divisive, Let’s Find Common Ground offers a healing path to reaching agreement and moving forward.

The conversations go behind the curtain with elected officials, campaign staff, journalists, academics, pundits, and political operatives. Every exchange is guided by standards central to the Center’s mission: Respect each other and respect the truth. Opponents are adversaries, not enemies. And if you lose, don’t burn down the stadium.
