TRUE CRIME
Will Sharpe (The White Lotus) hosts a mind-bending real-life story of reincarnation and a spooky tale of family secrets. In 1950s England, milkman John Pollock makes a sensational prophecy: His dead daughters will be reborn. At first, even his own wife says he’s a crank. But then she gives birth to twin girls who have uncanny similarities to their sisters who died. Suddenly, the world sits up and takes notice. Pollock’s prophecy attracts the attention of a serious American scientist who crosses the Atlantic countless times to study the twins. And his conclusion is astonishing. So, what if death is only the beginning? Extrasensory goes in search of the two people who know the truth—the twins themselves. Extrasensory is an Apple Original podcast produced by Blanchard House.

What a find Little America stories are for me! Joy! - Magic; a glimpse of other lives lived from other and unique perspectives and reference points. I loved every narrated moment of this story from beginning to end. Kudos to all involved in the production and telling of this story. Look forward to listening to the others and traveling psychically to culturally diverse places.

This podcast. Such beautiful, inspiring and human stories. Just perfect. I don’t know how many episodes there will be. I hope many. The show reminds me a bit of early episodes of This American Life.
