Armchair Expert's Monica Padman always wondered why her favorite podcasters, Elizabeth and Andy, abruptly ended their show years ago. She assumed they'd say the usual - they got burnt out or busy with other things, but the truth was a story so shocking and creepy that she knew they had to make a show about it... What she couldn't have expected is that in listening to their true life cautionary tale, she'd take on the role of a real-life Nancy Drew and get wrapped up in the mystery as well.

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Introducing Beth'stead, a new kind of true crime podcast. Parasocial
relationships are seemingly unavoidable these days, whether with our favorite YouTubers, influencers,
or podcasters, and sometimes those relationships can become a two
way street. Beth's Stead is a ten episode limited series
(00:23):
exploring what happened to two podcasters when that all went
terribly wrong. I'm Monica Padman, co host and producer of
the Armchair Expert podcast. If you listen to Armchair, you've
probably heard me talk about my favorite podcasters, Elizabeth and
Andy from Nobody's listening right. Elizabeth and Andy are my
go to comfort podcasters and they've been a constant in
(00:46):
my ears since twenty ten. So it was really upsetting
when in twenty sixteen and just all of a sudden
stopped podcasting. It was so abrupt, and I always wondered
what happened, and when I finally had the chance to
ask them about it in person, I was shocked. It's
a crazy story. It involves Elizabeth and Andy having their
(01:08):
locks changed, the lapd stepping in, and the death of
a listener. When we started this project, our goal was
to tell that story, but it ended up taking us
on a new path we never could have imagined. Here's
a quick glimpse of what's to come on Beth's Stead, Elizabeth,
(01:31):
I wish I could give you a hug so bad
right now. Your husband told me that you Elizabeth Elizabeth.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Andy didn't realize at the time, I was also responding
to all these people who would write in with questions.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Oh my god. The subject of the email is you
may recognize my vagina.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
I went through my notes this morning and I was
getting teary eyed how upsetting it was revisiting this has
made me uneasy. And then I'm like, if I'm going
to find out a bunch of bad shit, is it
going to make me feel more uneasy?
Speaker 2 (02:18):
This feels dangerous. I wished I hadn't gotten involved beyond
just the podcast
