In the world of true crime, we often talk about "consuming" stories—listening to podcasts, watching documentaries, and analyzing cases from a distance. But what happens when the filter is removed, and the case you’re investigating is your own mother’s?

The podcast hit the road again and this time we took Behind the Filter: After Dark Edition to one of our absolute favorite local spots: 3UP Rooftop Bar in Carmel, Indiana. Between the 10-out-of-10 presentation of the gluten-free charcuterie and the stunning rooftop views, the energy was high—but the conversation got even higher once special guest Erin from Age of Attraction joined the table.

It has been nearly one year since April Marie Garcia walked out of her home on the South Side of Indianapolis and into a void that has left her family—and a community—desperate for answers. In this edition of Behind The Filter: Unfiltered Weekly, we spoke with April’s eldest daughter, Alexis Ibarra, who is fighting a cross-country battle from California to keep her mother’s name alive.

The response was instantaneous. By Sunday morning, Ashley woke up to find herself headlined on TMZ, Us Weekly, and The Daily Mail. The "38-year-old virgin cut from Netflix" became a global talking point.

This week, we had the privilege of sitting down with Yolanda Kincaid, the CEO of Sycamore Services, a nonprofit that has been a staple in Indiana for 65 years. Headquartered in Danville, Sycamore provides individualized support and training for children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, serving Hoosiers in more than 35 counties.

In our latest After Dark Edition, we dive into the deep end of My Strange Addiction, modern-day segregation, and the ethics of reality TV. If you thought "emotional support chickens" were wild, buckle up—because this episode gets much, much weirder.

As many of you know, my "day job" is a News Anchor and Reporter for a news-talk radio station in Indianapolis. In that role, I see a lot of stories—but lately, one specific topic has completely taken over my inbox and my research: The Indiana Department of Correction (IDOC). Whether you live in Indiana or not, this episode is a sobering look at a system that is supposed to "correct" and "rehabilitate", but instead, by many accounts is in a state of absolute free fall.

Hormones, Hair Transitions, and… Kitty Sunning? Welcome back to the latest edition of the Behind the Filter Podcast: After Dark! From reality TV villains to high-tech brain "massages," here is the breakdown of our latest conversation.

The latest Indiana Department of Child Services (DCS) Child Fatalities Report isn’t just a collection of statistics; it is a sobering call to action for every Hoosier. On the latest episode of the Behind the Filter podcast, we sat down with Nicholle Probst, Senior Director of Childhood Development and Safety at Prevent Child Abuse Indiana (PCAIN), to unpack these findings and discuss how we can shift from reacting to tragedy to preventing it entirely.

Welcome back everyone! If you’ve been following my journey on Behind the Filter, you know that my path to health hasn’t exactly been a straight line. Between managing an immune disorder and working through a "mess" of hormonal and gut issues, it’s been a lot to juggle. This week, I wanted to pull back the curtain on my latest appointment at Total Body Wellness.

The duo is finally reunited! After a chaotic holiday break and a string of "on-the-go" travels, Ashley is back—though she’s sporting a raspy new voice and a post-laser glow. In this unfiltered "After Dark" session, we go down the deepest rabbit hole of My Strange Addiction yet. From the "semen facial" anti-aging hack to the 2022 trend of "vabbing" (vaginal dabbing) making a comeback, we’re questioning everything about the current dating and beauty landscape. Finally, we get r

Welcome back to another edition of Behind The Filter: Unfiltered Weekly. We’re diving deep into the intersection of politics, technology, and the modern social landscape. From a high-stakes "Sin Tax" battle in Florida to the rise of robot maids in our living rooms, 2026 is already off to a wild start.

This week we are breaking down a massive shift in how the government wants you to eat, the heartbreaking conclusion to a Michigan medical tragedy, and the cultural shifts making headlines—from the "death" of the Karen to the skyrocketing price of raising an athlete.

We sat down with Mercedes and Leon Wells. In November 2025, Mercedes—a thirty-eight-year-old mother—was turned away from Franciscan Health Crown Point in Indiana while in active labor. Discharged despite her obvious pain and her water breaking, Mercedes was forced to give birth in the front seat of her husband’s pickup truck just eight minutes after leaving the hospital.

If you’ve ever wanted to escape the hustle of the city without actually leaving it, you need to see this place. We’re coming to you from Elysian Medspa & Rejuvenation Center, a stunning, secluded oasis tucked away in the woods…it doesn't even feel like you’re in Indiana—it feels like a complete getaway! 

Welcome back to Behind The Filter :: Unfiltered weekly where we look past the headlines and dive deep into the stories that truly matter—from critical health disparities to political flashpoints and accountability in our communities.
