Summary

The second of three episodes we'll put on the Night Vale feed. Listen to the rest with a free trial with Audible right now!

From the creators of Welcome to Night Vale, Alice Isn’t Dead, and Within The Wires comes the return of Unlicensed, their critically acclaimed Audible Original.

Out in the far reaches of Los Angeles County, where the glamor of Hollywood fades into the long empty of the desert, two unlicensed private detectives are about to face a case that is larger and more complicated then any they’ve faced before.

A ghost-hunting influencer disappears in the middle of a live stream. A beekeeper is murdered after telling his friends that he has come across a dangerous secret.

It is up to unlicensed PIs Lou Rosen and Molly Hatch to put together the pieces, as the powerful elite of California try to stop them. Even if they solve the case, can they come out the other side unscathed?

From the dusty citrus groves of Redlands to the wealthy enclaves of Monterey, season two of Unlicensed is the kind of grand California noir they just don’t make anymore.

0:26.6	But I'm just clear-eyed in a world that prefers to fog up windows before looking through them.
0:32.2	Because there are two ways of knowing something.
0:34.8	One of them is to examine evidence, make an argument, then come to a
0:38.4	conclusion. The other way to know things is to come to a conclusion first, then to find
0:43.1	people to agree with you. Can I just quote the Pacific Coast Paranormal Commission website?
0:49.2	Our expeditions are the most classically skeptical, scientifically rigorous, paranormal investigations of ghosts,
0:56.6	apparitions, and hauntings of anyone currently working today. That's a pretty low bar, Shelby.
1:04.0	If you're in it for the science, Shelby, why is the very next sentence? Remember, you can make a better case by using our reliable member-tested spectral cameras, geomagnetometers, multifunction EMB meters, and Shelby, even for you, this seems cynical.
1:24.2	Our new line for teens' ghost stick light strips specific to poltergeist starting at 39.95.
1:33.5	Look, is any of that stuff going to find Ouija Bird?
1:37.6	I don't think so.
1:39.1	I don't think so. Unlicensed, Episode 2 Magnetic Fields.
1:59.2	Even after they determine its location, an abandoned farm in Redlands, ghost hunting fans
