Everything Is Local - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Dear Mike Burton and Team,

I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to you for addressing the tragic case of my brother, Jason Edwards, on your podcast. It means the world to our family to see his story receiving the attention it so desperately needs.

The investigation into Jason's unsolved murder in 2015 by the city of Beachwood was regrettably inadequate. Instead of conducting a thorough investigation, authorities hastily concluded that Jason’s death was a suicide, a decision that has caused immense pain not only to our family but also undermined the truth of what actually transpired. This response has not only been deeply hurtful, but it has also perpetuated a cycle of pain and frustration for our family. We have consistently reached out to various agencies and protested for assistance, all while grappling with the devastating reality of not knowing who took my brother from us and why.

I urge anyone reading this who holds power in addressing these injustices to help us elevate our voices. We desperately need support to not only seek justice for Jason but also to advocate for truth and transparency within our community.

Thank you for allowing me to share my story, and I hope it resonates with those who can help us achieve the justice my brother deserves.

With hope and gratitude,

Kandace Edwards

Mike provides fantastic local insights about Beachwood and genuinely cares about sharing information from every angle. He’s truly an advocate for his local community, ensuring that people have all perspectives to consider.

I have lived in Beachwood for 20 years and I like the idea of finding out about my neighbors and the struggles they are going through. Episode two was very interesting and I had no idea this happened in my community. I can’t imagine what these parents are going through. They are looking for answers about the loss of their son. The podcast is not in depth reporting but it allows people to tell their stories and everyone does have a story in their life. I hope to see more interviews I would like to know more about what happened to this family and why the police came to the conclusion they did I think the this podcast has a lot of potential.
