The Caretaker (Episode 4) - "Reckoning"
Daniel Mitchell finally emerges from the shadows. Not a ghost—a man, patient and broken, who has spent forty years hunting the men who killed his sister. Now only Claire's father remains, and Daniel has come to finish what he started. But Claire offers him something he didn't expect: the truth. A confession. A proper burial for Sarah. In exchange for her father's life, she promises justice—real justice, the kind that comes with prison cells and public records and a grave with a headstone. Daniel accepts. Ed confesses. Sarah is finally laid to rest. But some wounds never fully heal. And some debts echo forward, carried by the living, waiting for the next reckoning to come.Unlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media!

The Caretaker (Episode 3) - "What Remains"
Claire drives to Sarah Mitchell's hometown and meets her mother, Margaret—a woman who has spent forty years knowing her daughter was murdered and unable to prove it. She learns that Sarah had a younger brother, Daniel, who vanished twenty years ago on a mission of patient vengeance. One by one, the men who killed his sister have died. Now only Claire's father remains. That evening, Claire sees the watcher for the first time: a figure standing motionless at the edge of the backyard. Her father insists it's Sarah herself, returned from the grave. But when footsteps circle the house at three in the morning, when a hand tests the locks, when a voice whispers "Soon, Ed. Soon"—Claire realizes it doesn't matter whether it's ghost or man. What matters is that he's been waiting forty years. And he's done being patient.Unlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media! Get all our shows on any player you love, hassle free!

The Caretaker (Episode 2) - "The Promise"
Claire finds the key to the basement door. Behind it: a hidden room with a bed, a dresser, and boxes of a woman's belongings. A diary tells the story of Sarah Mitchell, who in 1987 discovered a secret she wasn't supposed to know. The entries end mid-sentence. Claire digs deeper and finds newspaper clippings documenting the deaths of five men—her father's closest friends. Accidents. Suicide. Murder. All of them gone. Her father is the last one left, and someone has been hunting them for nearly forty years. That night, Ed finally tells the truth: they killed Sarah. They buried her in the backyard. And now, every night, someone stands at the edge of the property. Watching. Waiting. With Sarah's eyes.Unlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media!

The Caretaker (Episode 1) - "Homecoming"
Claire hasn't spoken to her father in fifteen years. Now he has Alzheimer's, and she's the only one left to care for him. But the childhood home she returns to has been transformed into a fortress: plywood over windows, deadbolts on every door, cameras watching the yard. Her father speaks of promises kept and men who are gone. He warns her about "the man in the backyard" who watches every night. He begs her not to go in the basement. But behind a steel door with a heavy lock, something waits in the dark. Something connected to a patch of ground where nothing grows. Claire wanted answers. She's about to find out why her father stopped talking fifteen years ago.Unlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media! Get all our shows on any player you love, hassle free!

Groundhog Day - February 2nd - (Episode 2) - "The Confession"
The loops grow darker. Each funeral is more accusatory than the last—eulogies twist into indictments, mourners stare with open contempt, and Claire's body in the coffin looks worse every time. Helen tries to escape, but every road leads back to the church. Finally, standing in her sister's empty grave, she finds the ring—and with it, the memory she buried. She was there the night their mother died. She took the ring. She left before dawn and let Claire believe their mother died alone. Two years of lies collapse in a single confession, spoken to a corpse in an empty church. Claire's eyes open one last time. "I knew," she says. "I forgave you. I just wanted you to stop lying." Helen wakes on February 3rd. The loop is broken. But some prisons, she learns, we build ourselves. And the only key is the truth we refuse to speak.Unlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media! Get all our shows on any player you love, hassle free!
