Huge launch day over here at Kelly&Kelly. 🏔️Our latest podcast series Dirtbag Climber comes out today! It is made in partnership with CBC Podcasts and Lark Productions.
A murder victim with multiple identities. A criminal on the run from his past. Dirtbag Climber is a five-part podcast series investigating the unsolved homicide of “Jesse James,” a “dirtbag” rock climber found dead in Squamish, British Columbia, Canada. Local reporter Steven Chua dives into the case, determined to find answers. Along the twisted way, he tracks a stranger-than-fiction story that criss-crosses North America, unveiling a stunning portrait of an enigmatic con artist — a troubling victim whose twisted life story foreshadowed the darkest digital undercurrents of our time.
Trust us - you don’t want to miss this series. When we premiered this at Tribeca in June it sent shockwaves through the audience.
It is a wild ride. Link in bio.
