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.

Aloha
Mahalo for sharing the tragic story of Hawai’i in its true from.
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. 👏🏻🙅🏻♀️🔥
