Clearing the Tabs August 31, 2020

Some things I've read so far in the second half of this month, or will be reading soon. It appears that a lot of people are staying at home looking for things to read, so I've broken this month into two parts again, and will probably keep doing this for a while.

During the quiet time of 2020, I discovered a fascinating podcast. The podcast was very addictive and I found waiting for the new episode every Wednesday to be excruciating. The podcast technically ended in July, but they mystery and the investigation continued. One interesting aspect of the podcast was the investigative journalist asking for listener help in several areas. So a little after the podcast technically ended, Missing In Alaska has produced an updated episode with new findings, mostly the findings of listeners. Take a listen, maybe you can help too.
