The way this group creates a story from known and yet to be known facts is pure genius. David is a master story teller and the folks he talks with have my undivided attention. I cry with and for them. Beautiful.

Compelling fact finding

I have previously enjoyed Someone Knows Something. Now listening to each phone call as the investigation progresses makes the case particularly intriguing.

I love everything David Ridgen creates and The Last Call is no exception. David has a persistent, but gentle way about gaining interviews and uncovering clues. He digs deep for information and always seems to make people feel comfortable in his presence.

Love this podcast!
