I’ve been an avid listener for maybe a year or so. Love the host and how he seemed mature and respectful and dedicated and knew what he was talking about. But the shots he takes at other podcasts that are more successful seem immature and a way to show how jealous he is. If he’s talking about CJ like I think he just did in the episode I was listening too….first of all he’s just wrong. They are lifelong best friends with natural chemistry and do not laugh at the cases etc. and what do you mean th... more

Love your work. I have read a few of your books too. I’m from Bridgeport. Hi!!
Love all his podcasts.
M William Phelps is amazing and all his podcasts are worth a listen. I first heard about
him from my Mom, who was interviewed in one of the paper ghost episodes about her best friend who went missing, Lisa White. I have just been drawn to listen to all the episodes of paper Ghost, crossing the line and White Eagle! I will continue to follow his work and am really thankful for all the effort and time he puts in to helping families of the missing and murdered!
