In the Land of Lies
Imperative Entertainment
Show overview
In the Land of Lies has been publishing since 2022, and across the 2 years since has built a catalogue of 15 episodes, alongside 5 trailers or bonus episodes. That works out to roughly 10 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a roughly quarterly cadence.
Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 41 min and 49 min — and the run-time is fairly consistent across the catalogue. The publisher flags most episodes as explicit, so expect adult themes or strong language throughout. It is catalogued as a EN-language True Crime show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 1.6 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2022, with 11 episodes published. Published by Imperative Entertainment.

New Show: Drowning Creek
trailerHost Sean Kipe digs into the story of Justin Gaines, who went missing in the early morning hours of November 2, 2007, after walking out of a popular nightclub on the outskirts of Atlanta, Georgia. He was never seen again. The investigation into Gaines' disappearance quickly went cold and remained so until 2015, when a man confessed to taking part in his murder. Though this detailed confession described what happened to Justin Gaines, who was involved, and where his body was placed, no arrest has ever been made. Join Sean as he looks to find out what really happened to Justin Gaines and tries to make sense of the still ongoing investigation.
