The Gun Machine presents: "Beyond All Repair," a new murder mystery podcast

Hey,

I’m Amory Sivertson, and I’m on the podcast team at WBUR, Boston’s NPR, the home of The Gun Machine. And because I’m constantly looking for new podcast recommendations, I have one for you.

I’m going to share the first episode of a new series from WBUR with you right here, right now. It’s called Beyond All Repair, and it tells the story of a woman named Sophia.

Sophia was newly married and 6 months pregnant when she was accused of murdering her mother-in-law in 2002. She gave birth to a son in jail that she hasn’t seen since, and for the last three years, she’s been telling me her story in hopes of getting justice for her mother-in-law, of having a chance of meeting her son, and of finally being believed. There are BIG themes in this story – about our justice system, family turmoil, and whom we choose to believe. And there are deep reflections on mistakes made and time lost woven into this larger pursuit for the truth of what actually happened.

So I hope you’ll stay put and give it a listen, and if you want to keep going after that, episode two is already waiting for you. Just look for Beyond All Repair wherever you’ve been listening to The Gun Machine. 

Note: That was the first episode of Beyond All Repair from WBUR and ZSP Media. Episode 2 and 3 are already waiting for you. Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.
