Show notes

In Loveland, Ohio, the 2016 phenomenon of Pokémon Go led to a sighting of the legendary cryptid, the Loveland Frog, or reawakened decades-old stories of anthropomorphic frogmen roaming the waterways—and streets—of this small town. But separating fact-—or what seems to be fact—from fiction proves harder than it might seem.

Introducing the true crime podcast Persona: The French Deception— the story of Gilbert Chikli, one of the greatest con artists of all time.

The Choir Jun 07, 2022

Show notes

Perhaps some people are born lucky. . . and then there are others, who have singular experiences that can be described as, well, miracles. That seems to have been the case for fifteen people in a small Nebraska town in 1950.

* We have learned that there is an alternative pronunciation for the word "Beatrice" which, while we are studious researchers, it did not even occur to us to look up. We are so very sorry. You do not need to email us. Or you can. But just send us a picture of Bigfoot.*
