File 08: A Visit to Plum Island

A travel vlogger’s visit to a quiet Midwestern island uncovers a history that refuses to settle. Through archival newspapers, internal Fifth Service memoranda, and recovered firsthand testimony, this file traces the legacy of a long-abandoned medical colony, a ballroom fire linked to later incidents, and a celebration that closes the bridge at sundown. Some sites hum long after they burn. Written and narrated by Brian Lillie. @necessaryshadows necessaryshadows.com Peace! This episode includes AI-generated content.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍

Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
