    Thoughts and Prayers

    Thoughts and Prayers

    On Monday, April 10th, 2023, a day after Easter, colleagues gathered for their morning sales meeting at the Old National Bank in Louisville, KY. They brewed coffee and stowed away personal belongings while catching up with one another before the meeting began in the conference room. The day started normally, and everyone was in relatively high spirits. But everything changed when one of their coworkers emerged from his office carrying a large rifle…

    Trial By Doctors

    Trial By Doctors

    It was 4 AM on June 13th, 2023 in Nottingham, England when 19-year-old Grace O'Malley-Kumar and 19-year-old Barnaby Webber were walking back to their dorms after a night out celebrating the end of their first year at The University of Nottingham.  As night slowly turned to day, and just a short walk from their final destination, the two were intercepted by a man dressed in all black.  Unbeknownst to them, this encounter was only the beginning of a  deadly rampage that would leave three dead and three more injured… all of it captured on CCTV.

    +228 // Bound, Beaten, and Burned

    Two Toledo, OH teens were asked to leave a birthday party at the Maumee Bay Lodge and Convention Center after one of them purportedly flashed a gun on December 3rd, 2022. After getting into a silver SUV and riding off into the night, the boys were never seen alive again. For ten agonizing days, their whereabouts remained unknown until an unexpected tip led authorities to the site of a vacant house fire. Beneath the twisted and charred rubble, the FBI Evidence Recovery team would ultimately find the truth…

    Jackson "Trash"

    Jackson "Trash"

    On November 8, 2016, 26-year-old Brittany Southwell was holding her 7-month-old son in her arms, while inside her basement bedroom with her fiancé Tyler, in Jackson, MI. It was like any other Tuesday inside the home located in the 400 block on Jefferson St…until Tyler’s father noticed a suspicious SUV pull into the driveway from his upstairs window. Moments later, a knock came at the door, before several loud bangs turned to screams, and eventually… gunfire. After an intruder had kicked in the front door of the residence and proceeded to open fire, one person would be left barely clinging to life as they bled out on the carpet. Investigators eventually tracked down the suspect, and later recovered two livestream videos - recordings that the shooter uploaded to Facebook himself, capturing the entire horrific incident in real time, for all of his followers to see…

    Unspeakable Things

    On June 21st, 2022, Michael Cole Rathel was eagerly awaiting his friend and co-worker 21-year-old Xichen Yang’s arrival to work at a pool cleaning company they were both employed at in Orlando, Florida.  Xichen, a pool technician, never turned up and Michael became frustrated with his absence.  Michael proceeded to call and give his tardy friend an earful, but noticed Xichen sounded distraught on the other end of the line.  When asked if everything was okay, Xichen responded that his wife, 21-year-old Nhu Quynh Pham, burned his passport.  He then told Michael that because of this, he became enraged and did “unspeakable things” to her...

My favourite true crime podcast

I have listened, & re-listened to, Invisible Choir for yeeears now, and I love Michael’s voice!! Content is thoroughly researched, thoughtfully written & contains empathy without over dramatising. And his voice is calm and consistent - even thru ads, which I appreciate a lot!!!

And here is another praise I have: I have suffered from insomnia for very long time now, and Michael’s voice is one of my remedies! When I am having trouble winding down I will replay an episode and set the sleep timer for 15mins… this works 95% of the time for me, and even if an Ad happens to play they’re not over the top and doesn’t jolt me out of my very- needed rest.

Thanks Reach Freaks & Michael!!

One of my favourites

I’ve been listening to Invisible Choir since it first started. I listen to a lot of True Crime and Invisible Choir never disappoints. I find Michael’s voice to be clear and smooth, and really draws you in to the story.
It’s obvious that Michael and Reach Freaks do an incredible amount of research. There is always a huge amount of respect and empathy to the victims and survivors, while adding the perfect amount of revolt towards the perpetrator/s. I cringe at True Crime Podcasts that treat the whole show like a comedy festival, Invisible Choir is NOT one of those shows, but I do find myself having a chuckle at times, when Michael describes the absurdity and “dumbassness”, of how pathetic some of the perps are.
Well done Reach Freaks, from a huge fan in Australia.
