The Fall Line Podcast

Begun as a passion project, THE FALL LINE has developed into an ongoing show that mixes long-form series and standalone episodes. Known for deep, primary research on cases with little-to-no media coverage, strong, complex narrative structures, and a unique style—part investigation, part creative nonfiction—there’s nothing else in the true-crime space like it. THE FALL LINE incorporates historical and primary research, in-depth interviews, empathetic narrative, and multiple storylines.

One Strange Thing

Launchedin September 2020, ONE STRANGE THING is an independent venture from Laurah Norton and The Fall Line’s producer, Maura Currie.

ONE STRANGE THING digs deep into local newspapers to uncover regional stories that blur the line between realism and surrealism. The results are fascinating: we find the forgotten experiences of everyday Americans that feature a single unexplainable element: a house that bleeds, or a lost ring that turns up on another continent, or a mysterious hum heard in Anchorage, Alaska. This isn’t true crime, or tall tale, or dry history. It’s a unique approach — whimsy with a hint of edge — that can take a story from local color to wonder.

Tightly written stories fit into listeners’ daily routines, and an atmosphere of mystery captures their imaginations. Learn more at the show’s website.
