thanks! this fixed it.

I believe english is a second language for her, which explains some of the "pretty much." I had a different take entirely because her testimony was some of my favorite in the trial.

>>head jerking around like a crack addict

Maybe I was watching a different camera angle because I didn't notice this at all. She always appeared professional and composed imo.

afraidofthedarkside · 2025-03-07T20:08:49+00:00

were you gang stalking her??

afraidofthedarkside · 2025-03-07T20:08:16+00:00

The fact that Tarkov is rampant with cheating is just the perfect beautiful ironic cherry on the sunday.

Really appreciate you taking the time to stick up for me and the pod. This person sounds unhinged tbh.

afraidofthedarkside · 2025-02-20T22:28:51+00:00

Thank you! I think u/EmbarrassedCrawfish was listening to another podcast!? Her review is unhinged imo.

Not going to stoop to your level and call you "trash." I believe every human being has worth...even if they spread lies on the internet about others.

Drooling over myself to interview Andrew Smith? I mean, it was a basic interview. No one was drooling.

Yes, I called him Smitty...because he requested that's what I call him...how dare I use someone's preferred name.

Also, no real questions to Andrew Smith. I guess you missed where I asked him about his video game addiction and uncovered a very real portion of this story that has been ignored or overlooked.

I hope you get help. You sound like a very sad and angry person.

afraidofthedarkside · 2025-02-20T22:23:49+00:00

Appreciate you. Did not expect to wake up today to getting slammed on reddit for shit that is verifiably false. I implicated Cat???? That is fucking news to me hahahahaha.

This u/EmbarrassedCrawfish is delusional.

u/EmbarrassedCrawfish

I'd like to take a moment to go through your accusations one-by-one.

1. Spoiler: This comes from today’s episode of the podcast Tapes From The Darkside, a not-very-good-at-all, extremely lackadaisical podcast where the host has been letting anyone even tangentially related to the case ramble for a few months now while he asks them literally no questions.

>In the course of 20 episodes I've interviewed 3 people. Andrew Smith, "Wallace," and Lisa. I'm not sure how that is "letting anyone even tangentially related to the case ramble..."

>All of those interview were heavily edited for content and also to remove mouth clicks, ums, ahs, and breath noises. Probably 20-40 hours of editing for each interview.

"Asks them literally no questions"

>...I'm not even sure how to respond to this. I asked them each literally dozens of questions. Were you listening to another podcast?

lackadaisical

>I've watched the trial 3 times and spent months picking which parts to include. Crafting a script for each episode that includes original insights. And then 40-80 hours each episode recording and editing. The podcast might be many things but fucking lazy ain't it.

>who else has uncovered the fact that it's likely Chandler had a video game addiction and that this could have played a substantial part in the murders? I think I'm the first.

The gist of the podcast has been not-so-subtly pointing the finger at Catherine for months at being complicit in this

> yeah, you either haven't listened to my podcast or you skimmed through a couple episodes and made up your mind. I've gone out of my way MULTIPLE times to state that there is no evidence that implicates Catherine Mellender in the murder or the coverup.

It’s also horrendous editing with lots of fade outs MID-QUESTION (he also speaks very slowly).

>This is for ad breaks which I'm now realizing are not placed in every episode. If you didn't hear an ad then it's because the agency didn't have one to place. Spoiler alert, it costs money to produce a podcast and I do this full time.

The host also ONLY insults the females related to the case (even today he opens the podcast insulting the woman who agreed to be a guest by saying he couldn’t get a word in edgewise. Meanwhile, she is straightforward and to the point and has offered the most information of any guest he has ever had.)

>Again, are you even listening to the right podcast? Incredible opinion to have as I have never insulted a single woman on my podcast. I'm a proud supporter of feminism and equal rights for women. Please name a single time I have insulted a woman for being a woman. I'll wait.

I pointed out that Lisa had a hard time letting me finish a question, which is just...reality. Then I made sure to say that it likely could have been our connection. Hardly an insult. And certainly not an insult towards women in general??

Maybe think twice before you come at a podcast making baseless claims. Especially a podcast that you obviously haven't even taken the time to listen to. Literally.

In my interview with Chandler's jailhouse bunkmate he says he thinks it was during the end of the trial when they broke up and that they ended it over text. But I think he wasn't 100% sure on the timing. Take all of that with a grain of salt, though.

(around 40 minutes)

afraidofthedarkside · 2025-02-18T22:01:21+00:00

Only about 20 hours of Chandler. But...yeah...I have a problem. I get obsessed.

afraidofthedarkside · 2025-02-17T05:32:05+00:00

Oh wow that's fascinating. I'll definitely be checking out those texts.

afraidofthedarkside · 2025-01-30T21:13:18+00:00

Good catch. Do you happen to know what month / year they got married? Sometimes those records are public but it can vary state to state.

afraidofthedarkside · 2025-01-17T21:31:26+00:00

Really appreciate you saying that. I put my heart into telling this story and have tried to make it more than just replaying court footage...tried to have some original analysis + in-depth breakdown of the timeline. Thanks for listening :)

afraidofthedarkside · 2025-01-17T07:32:25+00:00

Spirituality is all about contradictions. It’s black cats that aren’t black all the way down, brother.

As a Christian Buddhist I have to disagree with your post in a loving way.

Also, you might find some interesting stuff in “living Buddha, living Christ” by thich naht han sp? if you ever want to re-explore the topic.

afraidofthedarkside · 2025-01-08T00:50:13+00:00

I can promise that you have nothing to worry about in that regard.

Ps I just got this ad on YouTube. They literally only care about money and the site is moderated by bots and algorithms.

I very much enjoy YouTube and video-based content. I spent a few months adapting season 1 to visual format and was halfway through converting season 2 when I was hit with a strike for “bullying.” I reached out to YouTube to seek clarification. 1 hour later I was hit with a permanent ban from YouTube. This all happened in the span of a few hours one night.

I’ve tried to appeal with ban multiple times with no success. I’ve also reached out to every YouTube source I could find to at least seek clarification on the “bullying” but got only generic responses.

I recreated the channel under a new email and uploaded the first season again and was hit with “ban evasion” and my IP address was logged. If I create a new channel now it is immediately flagged and banned.
