Varnamtown! Available Now!
Two years ago, Kyle MacLachlan, the star of Twin Peaks, called investigative journalist Joshua Davis with a strange story. Kyle had heard a rumor that Pablo Escobar did a deal in the early 1980s with a remote, coastal Southern town of 300 people. In exchange for vast wealth and limitless cocaine, Escobar would be allowed to land planes and ships in the area. Over the last 24 months, Josh and Kyle investigated the rumor, journeying to Varnamtown to knock on doors and find out what really happens when a firehose of money and cocaine is turned on a small, tight knit community.

Customer Reviews
Hmmmm
This podcast is very well narrated & put together but there is so much emphasis on Clyde and Tim’s personalities that I lost any sense of the actual crime and victim by the end
Great
I really enjoyed this podcasts. Pleasant voice to listen to, and well produced and put together.
Interesting story but lacking in conclusion
I found the overall story of Tim and his life to be interesting but I have to say, I felt very disappointed with the way things just ended and the lack of ‘digging’ in to the crime itself. I understand it was being produced in real time..but nothing was really investigated thoroughly or followed up by the journalist and it felt like things were being breezed over. The ending was disappointing and abrupt.
