  • Summary

  • Bear Brook, hosted by Jason Moon, is the critically-acclaimed true crime podcast from New Hampshire Public Radio. Season 1: Two barrels. Four Bodies. And a cold case that’s changing how murder will be investigated forever. Season 2, A True Crime Story: Jason Carroll is serving life in prison for a murder he says he didn’t commit. The only evidence against him? His own taped confession. More than 30 years later, is it possible to get to the truth – and who gets to tell it? Stephen King called both seasons “the best true crime podcasts I've ever heard. Brilliant, involving, hypnotic.” The New Yorker said season one “stands out for its ambition, complexity, and thoughtful tone.”

Journalism that reaffirms faith in the industry

It's so hard to believe so many different media forms today but this podcast truly demonstrates what investigative long form journalism can and should do. Two stories which bring different angles to light, the first showing what community can do and the second shining a light in a murky corners. Jason Moon, clearly an intelligent and empathetic person never allows any agenda other than the truth to form the podcast. Fully recommend.
