Sure, this story starts with a startling, shocking moment from my childhood…but forget about that horribly tragic murder for a second…I’ve got a story to tell.

Damn. This shit got real real fast.
I had no clue that you went through this as a kid. It just never came up? Or you just don’t talk about it???
I think that you handled this story really well. I liked it a lot and I really got a sense of the impact the event has had on you…which you’d like to sweep under the rug, but can’t. Good job, Mikey.
Hey there… one podcast maker to another… I can’t remember how I found this, but I just listened to the two Autumn Wallace podcasts. The way you got fanciful with what might happen next in your penpal relationship was pretty compelling to me. It made me realize that speculation is a good way to give a larger context to short but important stories from your real past. It was helpful for me to “watch” you do that. So nice work.
This is a super heavy story. Can’t believe I started here but it just kind of happened.
Keep on!
