Paige shares stories of unspeakable crimes and their lasting impacts. She also speaks with survivors, victims' loved ones, and fellow storytellers, creating a space where the weight of these stories is honored with empathy and respect. Occasionally, Paige ventures into the realm of haunting, paranormal tales that blur the line between reality and nightmare.
Her goal is to illuminate the darkness, bringing attention to injustices, overlooked details, and the human stories woven into each crime. This podcast is not only about telling stories—it's about understanding them, confronting them, and, hopefully, learning from them.
You can email case suggestions and even your personal paranormal/strange and/or crime related stories to ReverieTrueCrime@gmail.com

In this 12-part narrative limited series, host Josh Dean investigates the shooting of Henry Jemmott, a senior Belizean Police Officer, by a Canadian property developer named Jasmine Hartin. Shootings are not unusual in Belize. Shootings of cops are, and Jasmine is part of one of the most powerful families in Belize. This is the biggest news story in a generation.
Over twelve 40 minute episodes, Josh speaks to Jasmine, her inner circle, and a wide spectrum of Belizean locals, journalists, and expats as the investigation into Henry Jemmott's death unfolds in real time — from the week of the shooting on May 28, 2021 to the present day. The story gets right into the craggy depths of Belize: its corruption, its quirks, and the fascinating life of its most powerful person, the dual nature British business titan Lord Michael Ashcroft.

Olbermann’s daily news-driven mix will include his trademark “Special Comment” political analysis, the tongue-in-cheek “Worst Persons In The World” segment, and his timeless readings from the works of the immortal James Thurber. The man who turned SportsCenter into a cultural phenomenon will broaden the content to include a daily sports segment, a daily call for help for a suffering dog, and a remarkable series of anecdotes covering a career that stretched from covering the 1980 Olympic Miracle on Ice a month after his 21st birthday, to anchoring the 2009 Presidential Inauguration and the 2009 Super Bowl pre-game show in a span of just twelve days, to rejoining ESPN as a “rookie” baseball play-by-play man at the age of 59.

It's important for listeners to be aware of potential biases and seek a variety of news sources to form a well-rounded understanding of current events.
Can news podcasts replace traditional news sources like newspapers or TV news?
News podcasts can provide a convenient and accessible way to stay informed, but they should not be seen as a complete replacement for traditional news sources. While podcasts offer in-depth analysis and commentary, traditional news sources often provide a broader range of coverage, including visuals, investigative reporting, and local news. Combining news podcasts with other forms of news media can help provide a more comprehensive understanding of current events.
Can news podcasts provide breaking news updates in real time?
Yes, news podcasts can provide breaking news updates in real time, although the speed of delivery may vary. Some podcasts offer daily or hourly updates to keep listeners informed about the latest news developments as they happen. However, it's important to note that the immediacy of breaking news may be better served by live news broadcasts or dedicated news websites and apps.
Can news podcasts include interviews with journalists, experts, or newsmakers?
Yes, news podcasts often include interviews with journalists, experts, or newsmakers. These interviews provide additional insights, analysis, and firsthand accounts related to the news stories being discussed. Interview segments offer listeners a chance to hear from individuals directly involved in the news events or those with expertise in the respective fields, adding depth and context to the news coverage.
Can news podcasts address local news and regional events?
Yes, news podcasts can address local news and regional events, although the extent of coverage may vary. Some podcasts have a national or international focus and may not provide extensive coverage of local news. However, there are also news podcasts specifically dedicated to local or regional news, providing in-depth reporting and analysis of events happening within specific communities or geographical areas.
