Bodies in the lake. Rumors in the air. And two podcasters with no investigative credentials whatsoever. This week on Latchless, we’re diving into Austin’s murder lore and the mystery of the so-called “Rainy Street Ripper.” Is it a serial killer? A cursed sidewalk? Or just what happens when you mix tequila, tech bros, and late-stage capitalism? Come for the theories, stay for the chaos—and if we disappear after this… check the river. And Brad’s search history.

Latchless is hosted by Brad Martin and Jessica Poessiger

Executive Produced and Mixed by RJ Freitag

In today’s episode, we get caught up with all things Jess and Brad. From our recent foray into the world of high fashion, to celebrating Mothers Day, it’s a can’t-miss scorcher.

Brad seems to be struggling a bit as he adjusts to his new status as a multi-faceted entrepreneur. It’s a first-world problem, and we feel so, so sorry for him (insert heavy sarcasm here). We try our best to stay awake as he walks us through his “problems”.

But relief soon comes when our kick ass hype man servant Doug takes over Jessica’s mic for a bit and gives us all a heaping helping of sh*t talking mixed with pure love.

So saddle up, you gluttons for punishment - your weekly lashings are overdue! Let’s go!!

In today’s episode, we reunite with our dear friend Laura, and we relearn so much of our past as some of those memories have become a bit fuzzy through the haze of the booze and other extra-curricular chemicals.

Laura has lived ten lives so far, and she is about to embark on yet another exciting adventure in the world of fashion design.

She can drive a semi truck, give you the lowdown on the law, design your clothes, and kick your ass - all at the same time. She’s a force of nature and we couldn’t love her more.

So hop on board as we take the last train into crazy town to take our rightful seats at the throne. All aboard!
