While investigative journalism often dives into pressing global issues, sometimes it’s the smaller, everyday mysteries that capture our curiosity. Reveal’s upcoming episode promises to offer a refreshing exploration of these personal enigmas. Ashley Cleek, a notable reporter-producer for Reveal, is at the helm of this intriguing project.
The episode, titled “Inconsequential Investigations,” shifts focus from the heavy news cycle to uncover lighter, personal mysteries. In one segment, Cleek delves into a perplexing event from her past: a late-night phone call from someone purporting to be Jeff Mangum, the lead singer of the indie band Neutral Milk Hotel. This puzzling incident has lingered with her for nearly twenty years, adding a personal touch to the investigation.
Lara Dua-Swartz from WUGA recently engaged with Cleek to discuss the upcoming episode and what listeners can anticipate. “Inconsequential Investigations” is set to air on Friday at 1 pm on WUGA, offering a unique twist on traditional investigative narratives.
