The Team Episode

Unfound ·

2020/05/08

Unfound started as a one man operation during August 2016. Not sure how long it would last, the creator used copywritten music, conducted interviews with the air conditioning on in the background, and received more 1 star reviews on iTunes than any other new true crime podcast. But somehow, people not only took notice but wanted to work on the program themselves. You get to hear from those people today. Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/unfoundpodcast/
