Retrospective 2: Investigations

from Our Americana Hosted by Studio BOTH/AND

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 TROVA TRIP to Galápagos Islands 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 Cast: Sara Stapleton as Karen Sara Kitcher as Ellen Jeff Powell as Mark Matt Peelen as Rob SPONSORS • Boll & Branch: BollAndBranch.com/truecrimebs for 20% off. • Quince: Quince.com/TCBS for free shipping and 356-day returns with code TCBS.
