    #89: Solved-Britnee Drexel, Reincarnation-Toran Titu Singh, and Spring Bubbles cocktail

    This week Jane tells us about a spring break gone bad with the case of Britnee Drexel. Britnee disappeared in 2009 and the case went cold for several years. A false report led investigators to believe they solved the case until phone tracking technology proved the case needed to be further investigated to find the real perpetrator, Raymond Moody.
    Deklan tells us about Toran Singh, known as Titu. He started telling his parents about interesting memories of his life at a very young age. He knew details about places that a child couldn’t possibly have known about at the time. Was Titu reincarnated from a man who had been murdered?
    We also enjoy the Spring Bubbles cocktail.

    #84: Cold case-The Clouse family, Terrifying-Jersey man eater, and the Shark Bite Cocktail

    This week Jane tells us about a cold case that took 4 decades to partially solve. Dean and Tina Clouse were found murdered in 1981 but they weren’t identified for 40 years. Investigators didn’t know that they also needed to be looking for their missing child, Holly Marie. She was eventually found safe and sound but more answers are needed to what happened to her parents.
    Deklan tells us about a period of a few weeks in New Jersey when sharks were attacking people repeatedly. Sharks were even seen in fresh water creeks. This story was just one of the stories that inspired the movie Jaws. Was there one shark or multiple deadly man eaters? Could any of the attacks have been prevented?
    We also enjoy the Shark Bite cocktail.

Must listen

This is a cool dynamic! I don’t think anyone has ever done mom and son in this type of a podcast. Give them a listen for sure. You won’t regret it!!

Mother and son podcast where both seem like equals

I really liked the format of this show. I always enjoy a podcast that has different segments and does it in a quick and concise manner. The interaction between the hosts are fun and respectful. Lots of podcasts with a parent and an offspring there always seems like they are not equals. Not in this one. They seem like they get along and are equal contributors.
Plus the stories are quick and well done. The the drinks intro was also a fun touch. I liked that I got the recipe ;)
