    Episode 10: The Good, the Bad and the Curious

    Our 10th Episode! Ten episodes in, and this one hits different. Nathan sits down to bring his personal journey with Curioporium full circle—and it's the most honest conversation we've had yet. This isn't a highlight reel. Nathan opens up about the struggles that nearly ended everything, the failures that felt final, and the quiet moments of doubt that don't usually make it into the story. But he also shares the turning points: the small wins, the hard-earned lessons, and the triumphs that came only after he learned to keep going.

    Episode 8: My Curious Companion Jack The Ripper

    Why does a killer who disappeared over 130 years ago still fascinate us today? I'm Nathan, and I've spent more than three decades trying to answer the one question no one can: who was he? In My Curious Companion: Jack the Ripper, I take you into the heart of history's most infamous cold case. This isn't a dry history lesson. It's a candid, personal look at why this mystery still captivates us—and what our obsession reveals about ourselves. PLUS a special Ripper Announcement for this October at Curioporium. True crime has never felt this personal.
