Fear, A Love Story

Introducing the second season of “Fear, A Love Story” - A Podcast Just in time for Spooky Season

Season 1 ended on a cliffhanger with a missing girl, an assassin, and a potential mental breakdown, and Season 2 picks up right where listeners left off. As the plot unfolds, you’ll be captivated by a narrative that blurs storytelling boundaries, leaving you questioning what’s real and what’s imagined. 

Created by Deborah Goodwin in partnership with Ginni Media, “Fear, A Love Story” is not just a podcast; it’s an immersive experience that keeps you on the edge of your seat, hungry for each new episode. Explore the full range of human emotion, where love and fear collide, and mysteries beckon to be solved.

TRUE CRIME

The Investigators

This is not your typical weekly true crime podcast. Todd McComas, a retired police detective and comedian, partners with award-winning investigative journalist Jessica Noll to share their unique, unconstrained style of case analysis. Together, they combine 40+ years of investigative experience to break down key elements of the timeline and investigation.

At the heart of every case is the victim's story, so this is a job they take seriously. But, because they don't take themselves seriously, listeners get the expert analysis and commentary they should expect, mixed with enough witty banter to feel like they're among friends.

All around the world military museums are in danger of closing and smaller, veterans charities desperately need more support.
