Campsite Media.
Hey everyone, this is Matt Scherr, one of the co founders of Campside Media and a longtime journalist myself, as well as the host of the podcast Suspect.
I'm here because I want to play you a clip from Inside the Tent, a new behind the scenes show from Campside Media.
The the basic idea is every week we explore how some of your favorite podcasts are made through interviews with the producers and hosts.
It's a great way to learn more about the process and to get a sense of what actually happens in the studio.
Today I'm going to be playing you.
An interview with Sean Ravieve, who you'll recognize as the writer and host of Noble, the show that brought you here and has been a number one hit for Waveland Media and Campside.
Take a listen and I'll get you some more details afterwards.
Meantime, you can subscribe to Inside the tent@joincampside.com that's joincampside.com.
So Sean, let's start from the beginning here and have you tell us exactly how this story first crossed your radar.
Sometime around the time I moved TO Atlanta, about 10 years ago, I saw a snippet of a news story that mentioned 300 bodies found in a property in northwest Georgia.
And it's just one of those stories that I think every journalist who lives in or around Atlanta has on their radar.
And it was just one of those ones I kept in my pile of stories because it's so unbelievable.
But it also seemed like one of those stories that's kind of too hard to do, which is why nobody's done it until now.
What made you think it was hard to do?
It involves a lot of people and it involved a person who was very reluctant to give interviews and it just seemed like too complicated.
It also was quite a while ago.
It was 22 years ago when it happened, but at the time it seemed worth the shot anyway.
Did you have a sense of where you wanted to start when you got this assignment and it became a real thing?
Was there?
