Teaser: In the Red Clay - Durham. Season 2 premieres November 21

In early February of 2022, law enforcement officials in Boone, North Carolina made national headlines when they announced that a 50-year-old unsolved triple homicide case had been closed - with the help of none other than former “Dixie Mafia” member Billy Wayne Davis. The 1972 murders of Bryce, Virginia and 18-year-old Bobby Durham was one of the most notorious cases in the state’s history, one surrounded by numerous theories and conspiracies. Davis’ admission that he was present on the night of the murders is only part of the story of what really happened. IN THE RED CLAY – DURHAM is a brand new 6-episode second season of the award-winning series detailing the case of the Durham family murders from 1972 to present day and features interviews with enforcement officials, investigators, and family members of the victims and the killers. Make sure to binge Season 1 to catch-up and don't miss the premiere of season 2 on November 21, 2022. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Special Preview Episode: Elizabeth the First. The Early Years

Here’s your special preview episode of the new series Elizabeth the First – about the remarkable life of Elizabeth Taylor. In this preview, we learn how Elizabeth’s ambitious spirit was unmistakable early in life. The relationship with her parents and the push into the glamour and prestige of Hollywood collided with the reality of a male-dominated business – one that was more interested in making Taylor a product, than the person she knew herself to be. Headline News says ‘I love Elizabeth the First’ and the Toronto Star says the podcast is ‘sumptuously produced’.

New Show: Drowning Creek

Host Sean Kipe digs into the story of Justin Gaines, who went missing in the early morning hours of November 2, 2007, after walking out of a popular nightclub on the outskirts of Atlanta, Georgia. He was never seen again. The investigation into Gaines' disappearance quickly went cold and remained so until 2015, when a man confessed to taking part in his murder. Though this detailed confession described what happened to Justin Gaines, who was involved, and where his body was placed, no arrest has ever been made. Join Sean as he looks to find out what really happened to Justin Gaines and tries to make sense of the still ongoing investigation. Listen to the show now: Learn more about your ad choices.
