American Shadows is a bi-weekly podcast from iHeartRadio and Aaron Mahnke’s Grim & Mild. The show focuses on the darker stories from American history: the people, places, and things that are hidden and forgotten in the shadows. From better-known tales like the conspiracy to steal Lincoln’s body, to less-known stories, like the rainmaker who flooded San Diego. Join host Lauren Vogelbaum as she spans two centuries of omitted lore from our country’s history books.

Lavender Haze
Pure LGBTQAIP2+ blah, blah, blah propaganda
I can’t explain
I can’t explain it, but her voice stirs so much emotion in me. I don’t think I’ve ever cried because of a podcast, but she managed to pull ALL the emotion from these tragedies that happened decades ago. If I could give this 10 stars I would.
I cried all the way through “Under The Weather”. My cat looked at me like I was insane. I looked at me like I was insane.
I hope Willis Moore is living the eternity he deserves. 👏🏻🙅🏻♀️🔥
