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.
The Clearing est un chouette “True Crime”, même s’il n’arrive pas à rivaliser avec un podcast comme “Dirty John”.
Il manque un peu de structure, même si, au final, il se laisse très bien écouter et que l’on y découvre une histoire incroyable…
