The Control Group

Hi, The Control Group listeners! We're excited to share with you a sneak peek at iHeartPodcasts' latest release, The Red Weather! The Red Weather: Hi, I’m Rider. The world knows me as an actor. Mostly, for the 90s sitcom BOY MEETS WORLD. More recently, I have become a filmmaker and podcaster. I wasn’t raised in a commune, but a lot of kids around me were. Some of those places were cult-ish and creepy, some not.  THE RED WEATHER is a fictional true crime podcast in which I go home, interview my parents, friends, local police, and journalists in an attempt to solve the disappearance of my best friend’s sister, ANNA TRAINOR, who vanished from her commune on Halloween night, 1995.    Listen to The Red Weather on the iHeartRadio App or wherever you get your podcasts!  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
