Introducing: Shadow of Truth
It’s one of the most haunting murder cases you’ll ever hear about, and it takes place in a small town in Israel. Tair Rada was only 13-years-old when her body was found inside a locked bathroom stall. She was viciously murdered during a school day, and yet no one saw or heard a thing. The police arrested the janitor, Roman Zadorov, and he eventually confessed, but this was far from being the end of it. Based on the hit true-crime series from Netflix, the podcast "Shadow of Truth" will take you on a journey into one of the wildest and most contested murder cases in the history of Israel, as it reaches its final resolution, 15 years after it all started.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Higher is a lifestyle — Martin, Six, Kugusha
Martin, Six and Kugusha are all early members of higher. A new creative collective with its own native currency, built with a token on Base, publishing on Zora, and accelerating out of sight as one of the all-time fastest growing Farcaster channels. Higher is a lifestyle, an optimistic mindset, a brand being built in real time by hundreds of people on the internet. The word itself was used in crypto for some time, but the idea that “Higher” could be something bigger was kickstarted by LGHT in March. LGHT created the arrow logo and the /higher Farcaster channel, after a suggestion from Jacob from Zora that the unicode up arrow (↑) could be the symbol for “higher”. And LGHT then made a few memes in a collection on Zora. We talk about everyone’s early experiences on Farcaster and views on how it’s developing. About the origins of higher and what’s emerging so far from this experiment, building a brand together. Zooming out on the possibilities and general sense of fun and play with people on the internet that is something to be a part of.
