Shadow Clock Katie Mahalic | True Stories. Real People.

In 2021, amidst the pandemic, third-grade teacher Ms. Fitz promised her class a hot chocolate party if she could sink a basketball from across the playground. The ensuing video that captured the moment, along with her student's jubilant response, went viral.  This interview/narrative explores the tiny details leading up to the shot, alongside some of the other “magical” moments in Ms. Fitz’s life that led to this epic playground buzzer beater.

A little announcement!  We are trying out something new...  Recently, we were asked not to share our next episode publicly as of yet, as it's being considered for a few things outside of our show. This request to hold on our next episode titled "Emma," inspired an idea. 
Editing our audio-documentary style episodes takes A LOT of time... and lately, we have been wondering,  how can we keep bringing you great stories when we are in between seasons, as we expect Season 2 to take a minimum of a year and a half to produce! 
And we think we have an answer. 
Starting this month we will be releasing what we call "Zoomed in Moments."  If there is ever a hold in getting out our next big episode,  or when we start to move into Season 2 - we've decided to bring you shorter episodes that focus on those smaller moments in life - zoomed-in moments if you will -  that still make a BIG impact. Each of these episodes will be done online - so the audio may not be perfect... but the stories are sure to inspire...
Be sure to check out our first Zoomed-in Moments Episode this month!
Thanks for listening. It's been a pleasure sharing these moments with you.

It's  Zoomed-In Moments #1 - a shorter episode that takes you into the smaller moments that create life's twists and turns.  As February is Cupid's month, find out how Cory stole Dana's heart with a chicken card and how for Adrianna and Allison it was "love at first knees."
We hope you enjoy these shorter moments of 
Shadow Clock!​

Inside the glass-windowed casket lay a child. Golden blond hair framed the face. The flowers in the hands were still intact. The child looked like a real-life sleeping beauty - perfectly preserved after more than 150 years. It wasn’t until the moment Ericka Karner opened an email notifying her that a construction crew discovered the body in her backyard that she was made aware of the child's presence. But who was this young person and why were they there to begin with?

Diego Calderón-Franco recounts the moment he and an ex-FARC guerrilla member, who had kidnapped him over a decade ago, see each other for the first time years later. 

Contractor John Sangiacomo recounts the moment he laid eyes on the mummified remains of a child after his construction crew unearthed her coffin in the backyard of a San Francisco home. To hear the entire story, listen to Shadow Clock, Episode 6.
