Unexplained Encounters has been sponsored by Badlands by Wondery!

Introducing the true crime podcast Badlands— a show that dives deep into the real stories of the famous at their most infamous.

Each season, host Jake Brennan, explores the real-life crimes and scandalous careers of the world’s most popular cultural figures. In season three, he tells the stories of A-listers whose crimes and career lows are as unbelievable as some of their films’ plot twists—Heath Ledger's spiral into darkness, Brittany Murphy’s mysterious death, Jack Nicholson’s proclivity to fits of rage, and many more. Did you know that America’s dad, Santa Claus himself, Tim Allen, got his comedy start in a Minnesota prison?

For all that and more, listen to Badlands. Get new episodes every Wednesday wherever you get your podcasts, or binge all of season three right now only on Amazon Music.
