13 JUN. 2025 · EARLY RELEASE! ORIGINALLY SCHEDULED FOR TUESDAY 6/17/25.
In the summer of 1878, frontier farmer James Conway staggers past his barn, a flask in hand, unaware of the iron-tipped wagon tongue waiting in the dark. His death might have been foreseeable, but no one can predict what happens next.
Explore a seven-minute dive into a tragedy where simple misfortune blurs into haunting legend on the edge of Nebraska’s wild prairie.

3 JUN. 2025 · In the vast Nebraska plains, a polished drifter named Stephen D. Richards hid a killer’s heart beneath his handsome exterior.
Between 1876 and 1878, Richards—later dubbed “The Nebraska Fiend”—confesses to murdering at least nine lone travelers across Nebraska and Iowa before fleeing from authorities.
In this episode, we trace his first fatal duel by the Platte River, the brutal slaying of the Harlson family, and the manhunt that ensues.
This episode may run a little later due to issues in our studio, Room 1, but it should still drop early in June! We're crossing our fingers and hoping it releases next Tuesday, but we appreciate your patience in the event it falls a little bit behind.

23 MAY. 2025 · Explore real-world horrors and ghostly legends as we embark on this chilling journey from the streets of Kansas City to the haunted highways of Nebraska.
Much like our Pit Stops from Season Two, these Roads Less Taken episodes cover details we couldn’t quite squeeze into our previous Story. These are often interesting tidbits that would have taken us too far off course from the main narrative.
What’s different is once we wrap up a few things (which in this case will be from “The Kansas City Butcher”), we’ll buckle in and take an eerie road trip to our next destination, covering a few ominous details, places, haunts, and legends along the way. Buckle in for a road trip where every mile brings you closer to the darkness…

20 MAY. 2025 · They came seeking shelter on the Osage Trail—only to become whispers in Bender’s Inn.
In this tense, seven-minute edition of Less Taken, we travel back to explore the dusty frontier of the old Osage Trail, where weary travelers begin vanishing without a trace.
Every clue—discarded belongings, blood-soaked footprints, and frantic last-ditch messages—leads to one place: Bender’s Inn.

6 MAY. 2025 · There were no screams. Just photographs.
For years, Rob Berdella tortured and killed in near silence—his victims disappearing without a sound, their agony captured in Polaroids and handwritten logs. Neighbors heard nothing. The house stayed quiet. But behind closed doors, a methodical horror unfolded, room by room, tape by tape.
Berdella kept records like trophies: Polaroids, notes, fragments of lives erased.
This isn’t just the story of a killer. It’s a catalog of cruelty... and the moment one survivor finally shattered the silence. And it also begs the question, what would you do if were suffering but no one was around to hear it?

22 ABR. 2025 · What if a vanished girl’s voice slipped through your radio, years after she disappeared, and no one could explain how it got there? Tune in to the broadcast that Des Moines was never meant to hear.
In our first 7-Minute Less Taken, "Dead Air in Des Moines," we explore a spooky tale about AM stations, including whether the reported eerie sounds comes from ghosts or something else.

21 ABR. 2025 · We're happy to announce that starting tomorrow, we're releasing 7-Minute Less Taken episodes, which cover stories in a quick, eerie way like never before. We hope to deliver these once a month. The first tale lingers in Iowa, to explore the strange voice people claim they heard coming through the AM airwaves in the 1970s. I hope you join us tomorrow and let us know what you think.
