  • The Teslin Lake Incident—Part 1
    Apr 15 2024


    Sheslay Free Mike terrorized the north for more than a decade. His real name was Michael Oros, and he's been remembered as a legend of the north, the other “mad trapper”, a folk hero… and a cold-blooded killer. But there's much more to this story than meets the eye...


    This two-part series takes a look back at a well-known, historic case that was sensationalized through headlines, to show that behind it was a real, human story.


    Special thanks to Garry Rodgers, Bob Buday, and Ed Hill, and to Craig Baird of Canadian History EhX for voiceover of the Oros diaries.


    Release schedule:

    Part 2 will be released to all on Monday April 22. Listen ad-free and early on our premium feeds.

Great listen to a horrendous story

Compelling story of this blood stain on Canadian crime history. Easy to listen even though the details are hard to listen to. Enjoyed hearing the brief back story of the victims.

Daily listener

I’m very particular on the podcasts I get into as I hate the weird adjustment period when you start listening to something new, but I was instantly hooked on this podcast. The stories are very in depth with the perfect amount of detail, told in a respectful manner making for easy listening. I appreciate and admire the amount of time that has gone into building this podcast and I thank you for the incredible work. Life as a single mom is a lot more bearable with a good poddy on the go
