Retrospective 2: Investigations

Retrospective 2: Investigations

Retrospective 2 takes us to the origin of the investigation; where Josh's interest in storytelling evolved into his obsession of needing to know everything. And it started in a surprising place: a bound book of correspondence between two teenage girls and their landlord. What started as comedic found writing, became a mystery that people could not let go. And as Josh made his way through it, while working on TCB, he learned about investigations and their repercussions. This is parts one and two of The Karen & Ellen Letters, Josh's first full-fledged investigation. 10th Anniversary Retreat https://www.bothand.fyi/event-details-registration/ten-year-anniversary-celebration [https://www.bothand.fyi/event-details-registration/ten-year-anniversary-celebration] TROVA TRIP to Galápagos Islands https://trovatrip.com/trip/south-america/ecuador/ecuador-with-josh-hallmark-jan-2027 [https://trovatrip.com/trip/south-america/ecuador/ecuador-with-josh-hallmark-jan-2027] TROVA TRIP to Costa Rica https://trovatrip.com/trip/central-america/costa-rica/costa-rica-with-josh-hallmark-nov-2026 [https://trovatrip.com/trip/central-america/costa-rica/costa-rica-with-josh-hallmark-nov-2026] Cast: Sara Stapleton as Karen Sara Kitcher as Ellen Jeff Powell as Mark Matt Peelen as Rob SPONSORS • Boll & Branch: BollAndBranch.com/truecrimebs [https://bollandbranch.com/truecrimebs] for 20% off.   • Quince: Quince.com/TCBS [https://quince.com/TCBS] for free shipping and 356-day returns with code TCBS.   • Schedule35: Schedule35.co [https://schedule35.co/] with promo code TCBS for 15% off your first order.

Retrospective 1: The Ignition

To celebrate 10 years in podcasting, we're spending the summer going back in time and both highlighting key episodes and telling the stories behind them; you’ll get new behind-the-scenes information about what was happening in life, in various investigations, and in the world that impacted these important episodes and their podcasts. You’ll learn how Josh started podcasting, how he started investigating Israel Keyes, some hilarious and terrifying stories from the road, and some really vulnerable and personal stories. We start our first retrospective at, duh, the beginning. Josh shares how both his podcasting journey and Keyes obsession began. He discusses his time in Seattle and on the Olympic Peninsula, how he ended up on the East Coast, his first deep-dive investigation (not Keyes) and how that led to his second (Keyes). And this kicks off an early episode of his very first show, Our Americana, entitled Van Life.  TROVA TRIP to The Galapagos Islands: https://trovatrip.com/trip/south-america/ecuador/ecuador-with-josh-hallmark-jan-2027 [https://trovatrip.com/trip/south-america/ecuador/ecuador-with-josh-hallmark-jan-2027] Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/true-crime-bullsh-the-israel-keyes-investigation--3588169/support [https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/true-crime-bullsh-the-israel-keyes-investigation--3588169/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss].
