FREE MIKE CHAPEL!
After hearing this man’s story, you’ll want to shout it from a rooftop. This is a glimpse into the denigration of the fabric of our country; the small town being eroded by drugs and corruption. This one man’s misfortune is the epitome of GOOD VS EVIL. Expertly produced and delivered, this podcast will leave you outraged and hungry for a just ending for Michael Chapel.
A Must Listen
I have listened to all of Sean’s previous podcasts and he’s done an amazing job once again!! Can’t wait for the next one 🤘🏾🤘🏾
A little hard to follow
A very interesting story and worthy of a podcast. I wish it had been presented in a way without so much speculation and interviews, which made it a bit difficult to follow and hard to believe.
