Hey, outsiders, I know you're enjoying National Park After Dark, so I have a podcast recommendation

to share with you that I think you'll love. It's a true crime show called America's Most

Thursday, from the first sign something was wrong to the moment the truth came out or didn't.

In interviews, Ted claims that his upbringing was completely normal.
