    Apr 15 2024

    July 12, 1988. Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In the summer of 1988, 4-year-old Barbara Jean Horn went missing from her home in Philadelphia PA. Last seen holding hands with an unknown man, she was later found dead, beaten and bloodied, in a TV box two blocks away from her home. With no leads to go on, other than a composite sketch of the unknown male, the case went cold. But several years later, in 1992, new detectives on the case arrested a man whom they claimed confessed to the crime.

Had high hopes

I’m always looking for a podcast that gets great reviews and is voluminous so I was excited to start Generation Why. I couldn’t get past three episodes. I felt like they didn’t bring much of anything new to their chosen topics and the guys were just painful. It’s like dragging rocks to get them to make their points- that weren’t that insightful. I skipped ahead a dozen shows to see if they picked up speed as the season went on- nope.
