When April Balascio was 40 years old, something she’d feared for decades was finally proven true. Her father, Edward Wayne Edwards, really was a murderer. The Clearing is about what came after April called a detective in 2009 to tell him about her suspicions — a call that led to her father’s arrest and eventual conviction on multiple murders — and tracks the emotional journey as she and host Josh Dean dig back into her childhood, unravel the truth of her father’s life, and overturn a viral online narrative that had turned Edward Wayne Edwards into a kind of serial killer caricature. Produced by Pineapple Street Studios in association with Gimlet.

Excellent
Played them all at once.
April you are amazing!!
Thank you
beautiful
this series moved me so incredibly
much, to tears but also to laughter! fantastic, very perceptive and funny narration. april and her quest to reach out and help her father's victims families is profound, and leads to amazing stories of how the human spirit soars.
Slow burn. Really, really slow.
Intriguing idea but it seemed to lack structure and narrative drive to me. Could have made much better use of April. I made it through about 60% and it seemed like a lot of meadering and filler. I think there was a great series in here at about half the length.
