Podcasts about 1980s

This week Paul and Kieran sit down to discuss the Michael Mann film 'Manhunter', and with that comes conversation on the remake of this, 'Red Dragon', as well as the other Hannibal Lecktor films (such as 'Silence of the Lambs'), the brillaint Bryan Fueller show Hannibal as well as the books from Thomas Harris.

A Sensory Overload of Cyberpunk: Akira Takes Over Neo TokyoWelcome to this episode of The Most Excellent 80s Movies Podcast, where hosts Krissy Lenz and Nathan Blackwell are joined by special guest David Westlake to dive headfirst into Katsuhiro Otomo's groundbreaking 1988 anime masterpiece Akira. Buckle up—this one goes hard from frame one.Neo Tokyo Never Stood a ChanceThe crew tackles one of cinema's most ambitious and visually stunning films—a post-apocalyptic cyberpunk epic that defies easy explanation. Set 30 years after a catastrophic explosion that reshaped Tokyo, Akira follows biker gang leader Kaneda and his friend Tetsuo as they stumble into a military conspiracy involving psychic children, a mysterious godlike force, and power that no human was ever meant to wield.Krissy admits she was completely lost for most of the viewing experience, frantically taking notes and cross-referencing Wikipedia. Yet this confusion becomes part of the film's brilliance—Akira deliberately withholds exposition, letting mystery and ambiguity drive the narrative forward. The hosts wrestle with whether they enjoyed the experience, ultimately concluding that enjoyment isn't quite the right word. Instead, they felt changed by it.Nathan emphasizes that the film's true genius lies in its exploration of unchecked power and human inadequacy. Through Tetsuo's tragic arc—reminiscent of Anakin Skywalker's descent—the film asks a haunting question: what happens when a being with the emotional maturity of an angry teenager suddenly gains godlike abilities? The answer is absolute chaos. The violence is visceral, the destruction is relentless, and the moral landscape is deliberately murky. This isn't a film designed to comfort you; it's designed to challenge and provoke.David, experiencing Akira for the first time, identifies it as a foundational text for anime—a starting point that established countless tropes still used today. He notes how the film's aesthetic choices, from the distinctive art style to the passionate name-calling during intense moments, have become codified anime conventions. The hosts agree that while the character of Kaneda isn't particularly likable (he treats nearly everyone poorly), his cool motorcycle and sense of responsibility create an engaging protagonist despite his flaws.What Makes Akira Essential CinemaVisual Innovation: The animation is a technical revolutionPhilosophical Depth: Genuine philosophical inquiry about human nature, power, and moreMoral Ambiguity: Nearly every character exists in shades of grayGateway to Serious Storytelling: The perfect film for those ready for more challenging, adult narrativesA Masterclass in Trailer Difficulty: How do you sell this movie? The VerdictDavid appreciates the mystery, ambiguity, and groundbreaking artistry while wishing for a more likable lead character beyond his iconic bike and sense of duty. Nathan recognizes this as stunning cinema on an action, writing, and thematic level. While he won't rewatch it as frequently as lighter fare, he calls it the perfect gateway for curious teenagers seeking philosophical, intense storytelling. And Krissy feels genuinely changed by the experience, acknowledging that Akira is now part of her, informing her perspective going forward. This is a film, not just a movie—and one she'd enthusiastically recommend, though she'd warn viewers to put their phones away.Stay Excellent, Downtown MesaWant to catch David and Krissy performing?

Send us a textOrder a copy of my debut film, Cape Cod Cthulhu!Happy New Year's Eve!We conclude 2025 and begin 2026 with a special bonus episode of the podcast. Episode 225 consists of something typically reserved for Patreon members.Back in October 2023, I launched a Patreon page. One of the perks I came up with for those who put up their hard-earned money to support me is monthly bonus podcast episodes. These are different than the main show as I look back at, and attempt to decipher, posts from the original Initial Impressions blog that I wrote from about 2010-2013.I wanted to share this to give everyone an idea of what I do on Patreon. So what exactly makes up the very first Patreon bonus podcast? I'm glad you asked.Two blog posts get broken down. The first is what I called the 'Pilot Blog,' dated May 20, 2010. Initial Impressions was meant to be a behind-the-scenes companion to my official travel blog. So the first post is a look at a trip I took to the North Shore in Massachusetts. It included Lynn, Saugus, Nahant, and Revere. There are random stories and thoughts sprinkled in on this trip.The second blog post from May 26, 2010, is the true debut of Initial Impressions. It is a slice of life as I share some of the things I saw and experienced that week. We look at Quiznos, beach sticker blues, gym meatheads, and more.For those who enjoy the format of this bonus episode, there are currently 26 of them on Patreon now. Happy New Year to all of my listeners!You can support my work by becoming a member on Patreon. Or you can Buy Me A Coffee!Helpful Links from this EpisodeBuy My New Book, In Their Footsteps!Searching For the Lady of the Dunes True Crime BookHooked By Kiwi - Etsy.comDJ Williams MusicKeeKee's Cape Cod KitchenChristopher Setterlund.comCape Cod Living - Zazzle StoreSubscribe on YouTube!Initial Impressions 2.0 BlogCJSetterlundPhotos on EtsyListen to Mixtape #3 hereSupport the show

In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, host Stewart Alsop sits down with Mike Bakon to explore the fascinating intersection of hardware hacking, blockchain technology, and decentralized systems. Their conversation spans from Mike's childhood fascination with taking apart electronics in 1980s Poland to his current work with ESP32 microcontrollers, LoRa mesh networks, and Cardano blockchain development. They discuss the technical differences between UTXO and account-based blockchains, the challenges of true decentralization versus hybrid systems, and how AI tools are changing the development landscape. Mike shares his vision for incentivizing mesh networks through blockchain technology and explains why he believes mass adoption of decentralized systems will come through abstraction rather than technical education. The discussion also touches on the potential for creating new internet infrastructure using ad hoc mesh networks and the importance of maintaining truly decentralized, permissionless systems in an increasingly surveilled world. You can find Mike in Twitter as @anothervariable.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:00 Introduction to Hardware and Early Experiences02:59 The Evolution of AI in Hardware Development05:56 Decentralization and Blockchain Technology09:02 Understanding UTXO vs Account-Based Blockchains11:59 Smart Contracts and Their Functionality14:58 The Importance of Decentralization in Blockchain17:59 The Process of Data Verification in Blockchain20:48 The Future of Blockchain and Its Applications34:38 Decentralization and Trustless Systems37:42 Mainstream Adoption of Blockchain39:58 The Role of Currency in Blockchain43:27 Interoperability vs Bridging in Blockchain47:27 Exploring Mesh Networks and LoRa Technology01:00:25 The Future of AI and DecentralizationKey Insights1. Hardware curiosity drives innovation from childhood - Mike's journey into hardware began as a child in 1980s Poland, where he would disassemble toys like battery-powered cars to understand how they worked. This natural curiosity about taking things apart and understanding their inner workings laid the foundation for his later expertise in microcontrollers like the ESP32 and his deep understanding of both hardware and software integration.2. AI as a research companion, not a replacement for coding - Mike uses AI and LLMs primarily as research tools and coding companions rather than letting them write entire applications. He finds them invaluable for getting quick answers to coding problems, analyzing Git repositories, and avoiding the need to search through Stack Overflow, but maintains anxiety when AI writes whole functions, preferring to understand and write his own code.3. Blockchain decentralization requires trustless consensus verification - The fundamental difference between blockchain databases and traditional databases lies in the consensus process that data must go through before being recorded. Unlike centralized systems where one entity controls data validation, blockchains require hundreds of nodes to verify each block through trustless consensus mechanisms, ensuring data integrity without relying on any single authority.4. UTXO vs account-based blockchains have fundamentally different architectures - Cardano uses an extended UTXO model (like Bitcoin but with smart contracts) where transactions consume existing UTXOs and create new ones, keeping the ledger lean. Ethereum uses account-based ledgers that store persistent state, leading to much larger data requirements over time and making it increasingly difficult for individuals to sync and maintain full nodes independently.5. True interoperability differs fundamentally from bridging - Real blockchain interoperability means being able to send assets directly between different blockchains (like sending ADA to a Bitcoin wallet) without intermediaries. This is possible between UTXO-based chains like Cardano and Bitcoin. Bridges, in contrast, require centralized entities to listen for transactions on one chain and trigger corresponding actions on another, introducing centralization risks.6. Mesh networks need economic incentives for sustainable infrastructure - While technologies like LoRa and Meshtastic enable impressive decentralized communication networks, the challenge lies in incentivizing people to maintain the hardware infrastructure. Mike sees potential in combining blockchain-based rewards (like earning ADA for running mesh network nodes) with existing decentralized communication protocols to create self-sustaining networks.7. Mass adoption comes through abstraction, not education - Rather than trying to educate everyone about blockchain technology, mass adoption will happen when developers can build applications on decentralized infrastructure that users interact with seamlessly, without needing to understand the underlying blockchain mechanics. Users should be able to benefit from decentralization through well-designed interfaces that abstract away the complexity of wallets, addresses, and consensus mechanisms.

In 1983, a cherubic, homely doll triggered something close to national hysteria. Parents fought in store aisles. Shelves were stripped bare. Even the New York mafia found itself selling children’s toys. Cabbage Patch Kids went from handmade curiosities to the most coveted object in America — igniting riots, corporate battles, and a moral panic that stretched from suburban malls to federal courtrooms. All in a single Christmas season. And the frenzy didn’t end when the Kids disappeared from shelves. In an unexpected twist decades later, these dolls would get more care and attention than they ever had before. Previously on VSE: The Furby Files * Very special thanks to all our guests!

Bundle up, my spookies—this week's This Week in Horror History digs into Christmas horror movies, winter ghost stories, and festive frights from December 15–21. We're hanging the stockings and turning off the lights as we revisit the classics that made the holidays just a little more terrifying.We kick things off with Mel Brooks' Young Frankenstein (1974), a black-and-white horror-comedy love letter to the Universal Monsters era. It proved that audiences were happy to unwrap creepy laughs during the holiday season, turning a modest budget into a massive hit and cementing itself as a cozy winter comfort watch for monster kids everywhere.From there, we head into the snow-choked terror of Bob Clark's Black Christmas (1974)—the grim, stalker-in-the-attic slasher that helped invent the blueprint for holiday horror slashers. Killer POV shots, obscene phone calls, sorority sisters in danger, and a cozy Christmas setting turned sinister make it a must-watch Christmas horror movie for anyone who likes their tinsel tangled with blood.We then unwrap some Christmas horror gaming with the PS1-style indie nightmare Christmas Massacre, where retro graphics, a whispering Christmas tree, and a deeply disturbed killer turn nostalgic winter vibes into something nasty and unforgettable. If you're into indie horror games, lo-fi visuals, and brutally mean Christmas horror, this one belongs on your December playlist.For fans of analog horror and late-night weirdness, we shine a frosty spotlight on Local 58's Real Sleep—a fake infomercial that slowly mutates into something cosmic, invasive, and deeply wrong. It's perfect for those long, cold nights where the TV glow is the only light in the room.Our Deep-Cut Spotlight settles on Ghost Story (1981), a wintry ghost tale about regret, buried secrets, and a haunting that refuses to stay in the past. Legendary performances and snow-dusted atmosphere make it an ideal December ghost story to curl up with while the wind howls outside and the Christmas lights flicker.Along the way, we celebrate horror icons with birthdays this week, revisit the seismic impact of Wes Craven's Scream (1996) as a late-December slasher staple, and build you a Christmas horror watchlist loaded with slashers, ghost stories, analog nightmares, and cold-weather horror comfort films.Where to watch this week's picks (U.S.):Black Christmas (1974) – Currently streaming on Amazon Prime Video, Peacock, Shudder, AMC+ and more, and also free with ads on platforms like Tubi and The Roku Channel. Ghost Story (1981) – Streaming on Amazon Prime Video (including Prime with ads), with digital rent/buy options on Amazon, Apple TV, and Fandango at Home. Christmas Massacre (Game) – Available digitally on Steam, GOG, PlayStation, Xbox, and directly from the Puppet Combo store for PC collectors. Young Frankenstein (1974) – As of this week it's not on major subscription services in the U.S.; your best bet is grabbing a digital copy or Blu-ray from retailers like Amazon and other disc shops. Hit play on this episode of This Week in Horror History for a Christmas horror history lesson you can turn directly into a holiday horror movie night—plus the details on our sponsor's special seasonal deal.Support the show and get a tasty energy drink without the crash at AspireDrinks.com and get 25% off with promo code SPOOKY at checkout!

In this episode, we talk to Tania Lacy. The comedy pioneer became one of the biggest stars on Australian television in the 1980s, but at the height of her fame, Lacy seemingly vanished without explanation. In this revealing interview, she opens up about the reasons for her sudden disappearance, including her controversial sacking by the ABC; her addictions to heroin and alcohol; her mental health challenges; the damaging rumours spread by her peers; and a Hollywood dream that turned into a nightmare. Reflecting on what it was like being a young woman in a male-dominated industry, Lacy talks about all this and more in a feature story in the magazine this weekend - Disappearing Act - and hosting this conversation is the journalist behind that profile piece, The Age’s senior culture writer, Michael Lallo. Listeners should be advised that this episode deals with suicide and depression. If you are seeking help, please contact Lifeline on 13 11 14.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A video game that might have only sold 27 copies?Episode 223 is leaving the gift of GenX nostalgia under the tree.It all begins with a look back at a movie that changed the industry. Toy Story could have been just another animated film, but instead it ushered in a whole new way of creating hit movies. 30 years ago it burst onto the scene and nothing was the same. We take a look back at what made this film so groundbreaking.Some video games smash sales records. Then there is Uncle Henry's Playground. Is it true that this game only sold 27 copies in the U.S.? It's hard to say for sure but the fact is this game has become a punchline and a curiosity in the nearly 30 years since it was released to crickets.Like lumps of coal in a stocking, this week's Top 5 is filled with things you wouldn't want to see. We will look at some of the worst Christmas specials ever produced. Poor stories, poor animation, and nonsensical descriptions are all represented on this list.There is a brand new This Week In History and Time Capsule, looking back at the tragic death of music legend John Lennon.You can support my work by becoming a member on Patreon.

This week on GenX Journeys, I'm joined by the multi-talented and endlessly creative Will Padilla — host of the hit podcast 1980s Now, composer, writer, actor, and author of Totally Bogus But True: Tales of the 1980s. If you grew up loving breakdancing battles, MTV, Knight Rider, The A-Team, Beastie Boys, or the neon-soaked energy of the 80s… this conversation will feel like coming home. But this episode isn't just nostalgia. It's creative reinvention, GenX resilience, and the reminder that it's never too late to return to the passions you thought you left behind. ✨ In This Episode We Dive Into:

Episode 501: I will discuss the rarely mentioned Christmas movies from the 1980s and read a menu from The Snuggery Saloon and Dining Room Restaurant in Chicago.

In the 1980s, the United States wreaked havoc in Central America. Backing authoritarian dictatorships. Fueling massacres and violence. Funding, training, and organizing the Contras, a paramilitary organization created to overthrow the leftist Sandinista government in Nicaragua. The US government was spending billions on its interventionist policies across Central America in the name of fighting so-called communism.But people pushed back across Central America. And they also responded in the United States. Hundreds of thousands of people marched in the streets against US intervention in the region. It was the Central American solidarity movement. BIG NEWS!

Many thanks to SRAA contributor David Goren, who shares the following recording and notes.This recording captures Radio Macapá, Brazil, clearly identified several times on the air. David discovered it on a cassette tape.While the exact date is uncertain, David believes it could be from 1988, though he notes he was still recording to cassette into the early 2000s. The absence of CODAR interference—common on the bands starting in the early 1990s—suggests the recording likely predates that period.Though not as unusual as some of David's other finds, this recording remains a fine example of Brazilian shortwave broadcasting and a valuable slice of radio history. Enjoy and feel free to comment with any other details that may help date this recording.

Gymnastics Meets Carnage: Gymkata (1985)Welcome to this episode of The Most Excellent 80s Movies Podcast! Hosts Krissy Lenz and Nathan Blackwell pommel horse their way through one of the most wonderfully absurd action films of the 1980s—Gymkata (1985). Starring real-life Olympic gymnast Kurt Thomas in his feature film debut (and finale), this Cold War curiosity follows a gymnast-martial artist sent on a CIA mission to win "the game" in the fictional country of Parmistan. The prize? The perfect location for a Star Wars satellite defense system. The obstacles? Rope courses, arrow-wielding guards, and an entire village populated by actual asylum patients armed with pitchforks.The hosts dive into the film's bizarre logic, from the conveniently placed pommel horse in a village alley to the princess who somehow knows martial arts despite never mentioning it. They discuss the film's missed opportunities—why didn't they establish the international competitors better? Why does no one ever say "Gymkata" in the actual movie? And most importantly, why does Jonathan's dad get shot with arrows twice? Both Krissy and Nathan agree that while Gymkata delivers entertaining absurdity, it doesn't quite reach the legendary heights of so-bad-it's-great classics like Miami Connection or Ninja III: The Domination. Still, it's a fun ride through 1980s action cheese.Additional Highlights:The film was directed by Robert Clouse, who also directed Enter the Dragon—a sobering career trajectoryKurt Thomas performs genuinely impressive gymnastics throughout, even if the premise is ridiculousThe "game" has confusing rules that even the characters don't seem to understandThe movie ends with a freeze frame and text explaining the satellite placement rather than showingRating: 6.5 pitchforks out of 10—worth a watch with the right expectationsFinal ThoughtsBoth hosts land on a 6.5 rating, agreeing that Gymkata offers solid entertainment without hitting truly bananas territory. It's a honeydew melon of bad movies—pleasant enough but not the fruit you'd choose first. Nathan recommends exploring Neil Breen's filmography, particularly Fateful Findings, for those seeking more ego-driven cinema. Krissy suggests experiencing Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights for a real-life village-of-crazies adventure.Learn More:Discover more about The Most Excellent 80s Movies Podcast and the TruStory FM network at trustory.fm.

Send us a textRemembering Ozzy Osbourne on his birthday. A hilariously dated Subway employee training video. Some of the wildest mishaps during the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.Episode 222 kicks off December and the Holiday Season with a package of GenX nostalgia tucked neatly under the tree.It all begins with a celebration of the Prince of Darkness himself, Ozzy Osbourne, on what would have been his 77th birthday. A creator of heavy metal, a celebrated icon of music, a reality TV star, and more. Ozzy transcended music and became a pop culture legend. We dive deep into his life and the accomplishments of the man himself.Awkward interactions, questionable hygiene, and seriously weak attempts at humor. You'll find all of this and more in a hilariously dated employee training video from Subway in 1993. All you need to know is there is a pie chart of customer complaints, with one of them being not wearing gloves, and the very next scene is an employee making a sub without gloves. A classic video for sure.Thanksgiving might be over but there is more turkey day fun to be had. In a new Top 5 we look at some of the biggest Macy's Day Parade mishaps. Hint: They all involve rogue balloons.There is a brand new This Week In History and Time Capsule, where we look at the crazy but true story of the woman who was struck by a meteorite.You can support my work by becoming a member on Patreon.

December is HIV/AIDS Awareness Month. So we're going to go back in time to 1988. It was the height of the AIDS crisis. Marcy Fraser and Michelle Francis worked together in hospice care in San Francisco. In this StoryCorps episode from 2015, they look back on the moment their friendship was cemented for life. Then, Karen Van Dine was a prayer counselor in a healing circle at a gay ministry in the Castro. Her personal and professional relationships were steeped in the love and loss that came out of the tragic circumstances of the AIDS epidemic. Karen shared this history with the non-profit My Life, My Stories in 2018. 

Since we're entering the festive season, today seemed like the perfect time to delve into the archives of my original podcast- the SpielbergPod- to revive this conversation from 2016 (!!!), which sees Jake and I discuss the iconic Christmas action film, 'Die Hard'.

It's episode 222 and time for us to talk about books from the 1980s! Okay, I say "books" but it's really "science fiction and fantasy novels from the 1980s." You probably could have guessed that if you've listened to the podcast before. You can download the podcast directly, find it on Libsyn, or get it through Apple Podcasts or your favourite podcast delivery system. In this episode Anna Ferri | Meghan Whyte | Matthew Murray

Grab your red bow tie and hop on your bike, because this week we're taking a wild ride to celebrate the 40th anniversary of "Pee-wee's Big Adventure"—the quirky, chaotic, and utterly unforgettable film that launched Tim Burton's career and gave pop culture one of its most iconic characters.Also in this episode we share our tributes to Paul Reubens-reflecting on the genius who brought Pee-wee to life and the impact of his creativity and uniqueness Joining us for the ride is huge Pee-Wee fan, Nic Cowan!So cue the Breakfast Machine—because pressing play has never been this much fun!

Stranger Things 5 just premiered this past weekend. Netflix’s juggernaut was one that spearheaded a deluge of films and tv set in the 1980s. Troy Brownfield and I have long nit pickled at historical accuracies in pop culture the show likes to celebrate. With that in mind, we thought it would be a fun exercise to look back at more what the midwest 1980s was REALLY like in terms of what people were watching and listening to and then turn our efforts to see which film and television shows that set themselves in that era got it the most “right”. -Brandon The Brandon Peters Show will return.

Some hauntings fade when you grow up. Hers waited. Through her childhood, footsteps sprinted toward her bed, scratching filled her closet, and pounding echoed from the attic above her head. She left the house, got married, started a new life — but the haunting followed. Something pulled her off her bed. Something wrapped fingers around her throat. And one night, something climbed into bed behind her… giggling, childlike, with hollow eye sockets and limbs that weren't human. Her son began hearing the footsteps. Doors slammed. Beds shook. Even the dog growled at empty hallways. She tried blessings, prayers, sage — nothing stopped it. Because this wasn't a house haunting. It was her haunting. An entity tied to her trauma, her darkest years, her pain. Something that fed on weakness — and hated the faith she grew into. It wants her afraid. It wants her broken. It wants her son. #TrueGhostStory #RealHaunting #DemonicEntity #ParanormalActivity #ShadowCreature #SleepParalysis #HauntedLife #ScaryStorytime #SupernaturalEncounters #UnexplainedPhenomena #CreepyStory #DarkPresence Love real ghost stories?

Arnold Schwarzenegger in a yellow jumpsuit, a murderous game show, and more terrible puns than should be legal – this week we're diving into The Running Man (1987).Set in the far-flung future of… 2017, the film drops Arnie into a fascist police state where the government keeps the masses quiet with a wildly popular TV bloodsport. Framed as the “Butcher of Bakersfield,” helicopter pilot Ben Richards is forced onto The Running Man, a gladiatorial game show hosted by the gloriously slimy Damon Killian. Contestants are hunted by cartoonishly lethal “Stalkers” – Subzero, Buzzsaw, Dynamo, Fireball and Captain Freedom – while the state-run network lies, edits, and fakes everything to keep the ratings high.We break down:The dystopia that arrived on time: State propaganda, rigged media, and how close this feels to modern reality TV and news spin.Arnie at full one-liner power: From exploding collars to chainsaw crotch kills, we go through the kills, the quips, and which puns are genuinely elite and which are plain zero.The Stalkers as 80s boss fights: Subzero's razor-wire demise, Buzzsaw's split decision, Dynamo's opera-singing sex pest energy, and Fireball's jet-pack nonsense.Killian and the cult of TV personalities: Why Richard Dawson nails the smarmy game-show host, and how the film weaponises studio audiences and phone-in contests.From Stephen King to Saturday-night carnage: How this loose adaptation trashes the bleak Richard Bachman novel, leans into gaudy satire, and still manages to feel weirdly ahead of its time with doctored footage and media manipulation.If you grew up on 80s action, misremember this as a Verhoeven movie, or just want to hear three dads argue over whether this is genius satire or glorious trash, this one's for you.Hit play to hear us revisit exploding neck collars, terrible future fashion, and why, for all its flaws, The Running Man is still an easy strong recommend.You can now text us anonymously to leave feedback, suggest future content or simply hurl abuse at us.

THE CIRCLEVILLE LETTERS: AMERICA'S MOST DISTURBING ANONYMOUS THREAT CAMPAIGNFor over two decades, someone in Circleville, Ohio waged one of the most extensive campaigns of psychological terror in American history. Thousands of letters. Hundreds of victims. Secrets, accusations, and threats that knew too much about people's private lives.In 1976, school bus driver Mary Gillispie started receiving letters accusing her of having an affair with her boss. The letters were graphic, detailed, and deeply disturbing...created with cut-out magazine letters like something out of a ransom note. But Mary wasn't the only target. Her husband Ron received letters too, taunting him for not stopping his wife's alleged affair.Then in 1977, Ron Gillispie died in a single-vehicle crash after receiving a mysterious phone call. Was it an accident, or did the letter writer's harassment turn deadly?The letters continued for years, escalating in 1983 when someone constructed a booby trap designed to kill Mary...a gun rigged to fire when she removed a sign from her bus route. Mary narrowly escaped with her life.Paul Freshour, Ron's brother-in-law, was convicted of attempted murder and sent to prison. Case closed, right?Except the letters never stopped. They continued while Paul sat in a cell with no way to mail anonymous letters. For years, the letters kept coming, containing the same intimate knowledge of Circleville's secrets, the same threatening tone, the same cut-out magazine style.So who really wrote the Circleville Letters? Was Paul Freshour innocent, framed by the real letter writer who's still out there? Did he have an accomplice who continued his work? Or were there multiple letter writers all along?Keywords: True Crime, Unsolved Mystery, Circleville Letters, Anonymous Letters, Stalking, Ohio, Cold Case, 1970s Crime, 1980s Crime, Psychological Terror, Small Town Crime, Paul Freshour, Mary Gillispie, Pickaway County, Harassment Campaign, Attempted Murder, Wrongful ConvictionBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/we-saw-the-devil-a-true-crime-podcast--4433638/support.Website: http://www.wesawthedevil.comPatreon: http://www.patreon.com/wesawthedevilDiscord: https://discord.gg/X2qYXdB4Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/WeSawtheDevilInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/wesawthedevilpodcast.
