Varnamtown

TRUE CRIME
UPDATED WEEKLY

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. Varnamtown was created in association with PodcastOne. It is produced by Epic Magazine, Picture Perfect Federation, and Full Picture with consulting producers Nir Liberboim and Lynn Betz.

This is a great podcast so far. I find the journalist - josh sounds a lot like John Mulaney.
A bunch of out of touch leftists trying to be funny

Dinodiggers

Shows how leftists and regressives have a moral superiority complex. Very low iq humour. Good imitations though. But left there is a reason why every western country is rejecting your moronic ideas
unbearable ads

I find the story interesting, but there are SO MANY ADS. It's almost comical. I probably won't continue; it's too frustrating.
Too much advertising

Not good enough to justify the ridiculous amount of advertising. Bye!
