Bear Brook

Bear Brook, hosted by Jason Moon, is the critically-acclaimed true crime podcast from New Hampshire Public Radio. Season 1 - Two barrels. Four Bodies. And a cold case that’s changing how murders will be investigated forever. Season 2: A True Crime Story - Jason Carroll is serving life in prison for a murder he says he didn’t commit. The only evidence against him? His own taped confession. More than 30 years later, is it possible to get to the truth – and who gets to tell it? Stephen King called both seasons “the best true crime podcasts I've ever heard. Brilliant, involving, hypnotic.” The New Yorker said season one “stands out for its ambition, complexity, and thoughtful tone.”

1st real podcast

This was the first real podcast I have dove into. I loved every detail. Jason’s description was great
Bear Brook 2 - Thorough Right Down to the Music
Mar 12
At this point in writing I have one more episode to go. Jason’s music is as thoughtful and compelling as the case itself. I’ve chosen to write now because I am so concerned about the almost separate story of the evidence box. I now need the whole chronology of that box, and how/why it was considered such a “fluke” that it existed and was found. Why wasn’t it foremost in the minds of all of Jason’s lawyers from Day One? Were they lied to re: its existence? I look forward to more answers in next episode. Let my concern testify how enthralling this podcast is—the inexplicable coincidence of amazing timing. My real question being WHY was that box such a lost mystery in the first place? Even if it’s simple neglect, back when DNA testing was not as crucial as now, why would that not have been pursued by Jason’s lawyers immediately. They knew it had to exist. They could have gone straight to forensics, right? Where was the glitch in this whole process that could possibly have saved years/decades in furthering Jason’s case?
One of the best TC podcasts I’ve listened to!

I don’t normally leave reviews, but this podcast has kept me thoroughly engaged through both seasons so I felt it was warranted to give it 5 stars. Keep up the great work, Jason!
Very well done!
