Bear Brook – the ground-breaking investigative podcast that’s been downloaded more than 21 million times – returns Feb. 20 for a second season

Listen to the trailer in this post.

"Bear Brook Season 2: A True Crime Story" centers on a new, even more complex case from 1989 when New Hampshire police charged three men in the murder of a pregnant woman named Sharon Johnson.

But only 19-year-old Jason Carroll was convicted. Police built the case against him around his own taped confession extracted by a veteran detective.

Bear Brook Season 2 examines the case of Jason Carrol, who is serving life in prison for a murder he says he didn’t commit. The only evidence against him? His own taped confession. More than 30 years later, is it possible to get to the truth – and who gets to tell it?
