    Fan Favorite - "Shenandoah on Fire"
    Jun 24 2024

    This story is a fan favorite that was previously published as Episode 34.

    On September 6th, 1988, a middle aged woman named Cindy Borton, was washing dishes in her little house in Shenandoah, Iowa. As she did this, she heard a knock on her back door. She glanced at her watch and saw that she only had a few minutes before she had to get ready for work, and so she just hoped that whoever was there, was not expecting a long visit.… A few hours later, the police would arrive at Cindy’s house and they would discover a crime scene so gruesome, that they had to call in a special investigative unit just to process it.

GOAT

Nobody else tells a story like Mr Ballen.
If you haven't heard his stories, do it.
His podcast is highly addictive.

Gripping

I became a fan after binging Mrballen's YouTube channel last year and the new podcast does not disappoint. Stories are edge of your seat and will keep you thinking about them for days afterwards.

Mr Ballen never disappoints

It's difficult to write a review as I don't think words will do this justice. You need to listen for yourself to appreciate what an excellent storyteller Mr Ballen is. Disvovered him on Youtube and was instantly hooked. His Podcast is every bit as good as his Youtube videos.
