1950s New York. At the headquarters of NAR National American Radio, their star newscaster is found dead in an abandoned studio. Was he murdered? His tie is still round his dead neck, caught in the mechanism of a new-fangled video tape machine. Should we put the blame on the VTR, or was he the victim of something or someone more sinister?

An apartment. An intruder. A bloodstain on a carpet. The sound of a crescendo. But how did this culminate in Annie’s doom? In truth, we can probably blame that on the intruder. But how did he (if it was a he) get through the window? And what made the sound? And why was the criminal hairless? And why did Annie run under a table? How high was this table? And is Annie Ok?

Chicago. A cold grey morning. A kid lies face down in an alleyway with a gun in his hand. To be clear, he’s dead, not just asleep. But what led him to here? To Chicago. To the alleyway. To his death.

An old Nebraska town. A walk down by the river. It’s an age old story: boy meets girl, girl goes missing, boy swears he left her by the river - he swears he left her safe and sound. But she’s missing all the same, so a man with a badge comes knocking next morning, and a thousand fingers start pointing the finger(s) at the boy. But what really happened? Journalist (and also podc

Feathers, a yellow dress, and a love triangle that gets bent out of shape by a bullet. But just who shot who? And exactly how many chairs were smashed in two? Two? Or more? Or none? And did Tony really ‘sail across the bar’, given that the official police report on the murder made no mention of any nautical craft of any kind? Journalist (and also podcaster) Mason Lane heats up
