• • • looking for: 4 co-producers of ghastly, a true crime podcast focusing on unsolved cold cases in the midwest.
in the years since his mother’s death, dick’s interest in the case grew into something of an obsession. while living, his father had barred all of his children from entering whitethorn manor, which — dick was certain — would prove to hold all of the answers to what truly happened that night. in his search for answers, he stumbled upon each member of this ghastly crew, all of whom possess the same obsession with unsolved cases. his now co-show host, in fact, was the one who first drew him in to the possibilities, arranging for him to make an appearance at a “true crime” convention when he was hard pressed for cash.
from there, there would be no going back.
a drunken night a year later put all of them together in one bar, each participant with their own fascination of unsolved crimes and a few, like dick, with their own personal preoccupations with crimes they’d been tangentially involved in. the drunken conversation steered towards an idea for the podcast that they’d soon create, focusing on unsolved crimes with mysterious elements. using dick’s own name — and accompanying infamy — as a marketing ploy, they began to develop a following that allowed them to delve deeper into the mysteries they’d chosen.
after three seasons, their most recent of which exposed sophia carlisle — a fellow seven devils hometowner and the incoming cheer coach to hastings college right next door — of murder, dick’s ready to tackle his own demons.
since the podcast’s inception, fans have begged dick to explore the mystery of his own past. before, it had never been an option. now, however, that his father’s passed, dick’s finally agreed to answer the questions his fans have demanded of him and his father denied him. it’s a best of both worlds scenario, in dick’s realm — decipher the biggest secret of his past and capitalize on the trauma he’s told himself he’s grown past. however, the questions they’re demanding answers to might have been best kept dormant as the people of seven devils decide what truths they’ll tell.
r e q u i r e m e n t s ,
essentially, this is a request for both the crew of the ghastly podcast and the focuses of its former seasons. i imagine the format and content to be similar to up and vanished in that the crew devotes an entire season made up of an uncertain amount of episodes — dependent on the amount of content they can unveil — to one case. the crew each has their own experience with unsolved crimes, whether that be an obsession or a past involvement. they began to attract a fair amount of attention with their second season and blew up following the reveal of sophia carlisle.
dick’s background is in journalism, but the rest of the crew can have experience or expertise however they could attain it. their primary jobs are listed below, but they all have a hand in the investigation! their administator is primarily responsible for dealing with advertisers and the like, for example, but will also be digging through whitethorn for clues with the rest! for content for the former seasons (one and two, specifically), if you’d like some more exposure to some mystery plot i’d love to add you here!
