American Shadows is a bi-weekly podcast from iHeartRadio and Aaron Mahnke’s Grim & Mild. The show focuses on the darker stories from American history: the people, places, and things that are hidden and forgotten in the shadows. From better-known tales like the conspiracy to steal Lincoln’s body, to less-known stories, like the rainmaker who flooded San Diego. Join host Lauren Vogelbaum as she spans two centuries of omitted lore from our country’s history books.

Slow Down, Lauren!
I’ve listened to two episodes and enjoyed both. HOWEVER, please slow down the narration!! Tried listening at half, but was too slow. Hope to be able to sway Lauren, as other reviewers seem to agree with me.
New Favourite
Great story selection and narration. Definite 5-stars from this Canadian listener!
VO Refresher Needed
I love the idea of the podcast, love the stories but have to agree:
1. Voiceover speech is too fast. But the speed could be maintained if she also refreshed—
2. The intonation of the voiceover is in a RUT. There needs to be more color behind what she’s saying. Every sentence is delivered with the same intonation and it makes me fall asleep. I think the pathos behind the words has been lost on the reader and is sounding more robotic than journalistic in tone.
