When April Balascio was 40 years old, something she’d feared for decades was finally proven true. Her father, Edward Wayne Edwards, really was a murderer. The Clearing is about what came after April called a detective in 2009 to tell him about her suspicions — a call that led to her father’s arrest and eventual conviction on multiple murders — and tracks the emotional journey as she and host Josh Dean dig back into her childhood, unravel the truth of her father’s life, and overturn a viral online narrative that had turned Edward Wayne Edwards into a kind of serial killer caricature. Produced by Pineapple Street Studios in association with Gimlet.

Customer Reviews
Do recommend!!
I am so glad I decided to binge this podcast, very well done and so very sad for all people involved!! I loved it and I would recommend this podcast to anyone that likes true crime!
My current obsession
This podcast has absolutely fascinated me. It is so well paced and presented that it’s difficult for me to set it aside. I’ve listened to many podcasts about killers and the fact that I’d never heard of Ed Edwards just blows me away. I also now follow Matthew Dear’s music. It’s wonderful!
I’m currently watching the documentary “It Was Him…” simply so I can put some faces to the names in your podcast. I’m completely hooked on following whatever murders may be cleared up in connection with that monster. Thank you for allowing me to be aware of him.
Excellent
Will be checking out other pods by this team. Really well done.
