Hey there, it's Kathy. I just wanted to let you know that you can listen to History of the 90s

early and ad-free on Amazon music included with Prime. Hey there, it's Kathy. Today I'm sharing with you

the first episode of a new 10-part podcast documentary series that unravels one of the most

astonishing true stories you'll ever hear. It's called Stop Rewind the Lost Boy,

and it tells the story of a child from India that was kidnapped,

falsely declared an orphan, and adopted by a family in Utah.

At first, no one around him can understand what he's saying,

but he records the clues to his past into a cassette tape

before he completely forgets his birth language, and the tape gets stored away for decades.

Told through rare original recordings, immersive sound design, and unforgettable first-person

testimony, Stop Rewind is a story of stolen childhood, the quest for truth, and the long road

back home. If you like what you hear today, make sure you search for and follow, Stop Rewind,

the Lost Boy, wherever you're listening right now. It's Christmas time in Utah, and a small boy is singing into a cassette recorder.

He's putting everything he's got into his performance.

He likes hearing the sound of his voice on the tape.

He likes having an audience.

Then he stops.

He doesn't want to sing anymore.

He wants to talk. He wants to talk. There's something really important the child needs to say,

something he wants put on record in his own language.

But he's frightened, because it's a secret he's not supposed to tell. He's been warned, never to speak about it.

It's a painful secret and a shocking one. And the little boy doesn't really want to remember it at all. But he knows he has to remember. He has to leave a trace before it's too late.
