Disclaimer: Due to the themes prevalent in this audio drama, Smile Grove is intended for audiences 16 and up. Viewer discretion is advised.

Summary: Smile Grove is a semi-serialized dramatic horror podcast focused on exploring mental health, and the fears those fighting against it might experience.

Nikolai, a weary husk of a once-hopeful person left to corrode in their own mental dissonance, Storm, an uprising troublemaker intent on seizing the attention of those around him, Grey, a precocious teen who struggles to grapple with what he doesn't understand, and Tida, a fearful girl who finds light in dark places yet grapples with her own inner demons, are brought into a mental facility with the hopes of reversing traumas and healing old wounds.

Through perpetual meddling from a less than virtuous psychiatrist, Dr. Grover, and even the vile wills of those who observe, the patients soon learn that the opposite is bound to happen.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
