Dave knew exactly what I needed today and that is his soothing cadence telling me another true crime tale #SKS @dridgen @cbcpodcasts

[Jane’s Fonda @mmmandylion]

Absolutely no one doing true crime podcasting like @skscbc and Your Own Backyard. David Ridgen @dridgen and Chris Lambert are top tier. Season 10 of Someone Knows Something is out now!

@dridgen I decided to check for a new season of SKS on Spotify and found the intro and episode 1 for season 10! I’m thrilled!

[Ty @BeausoleilFS]

@dridgen @skscbc I was not familiar with your game, I am now. Incredible story telling.

[Mama|Jay @mamajay_13]

@dridgen @skscbc I am binging all seasons. Currently on season five. By far one of the best podcast I’ve listened to.

[Michelle Scaturro 😬🪩✌️🛸☄️👽 @scatcat316]

@dridgen @skscbc I've been listening to SKS since the beginning on other platforms here in the U.S. Thank you David for all your hard work and compassion for solving these cases. This series is still in my top 5 favs and I look forward to each new story and project you put out there.

[Shannon @ShannonMarie813]

@dridgen @skscbc Yours is by far the best investigative podcast. Your compassion is clear when listening. Not to mention you give listeners answers and they actually go in a real direction. So many popular podcasts drag out their season and they go nowhere. Thank you!

[david ridgen @dridgen]

No new season this year and @skscbc STILL charts as a Top Series for 2025 on Apple Podcasts 😏 In fact S9 E1 Chrissy was 2025's TOP EPISODE!
And...in early 2026…SKS is back for Season 10!!

[david ridgen @dridgen]

@ItsMissShorty @skscbc Thank you! Season 10 is getting very close to completion...

[𝒮𝒽❀𝓇𝓉𝓎 @ItsMissShorty]

Season 2 of @skscbc is an utter masterpiece. @dridgen is objectively the best investigative filmmaker and podcaster on the planet. This is my second time listening to the #SKS series from the very first episode.

Admittedly, Season 5 will forever have my heart (I’ve listened to that one at least 4 times) and S9 is breathtakingly astounding at every turn, but for some reason, S2 is sheer perfection.

Heck, they all are. #SomeoneKnowsSomething… 14/10 would recommend. On repeat. Thank you, sir 🙏🏼

[𝒮𝒽❀𝓇𝓉𝓎 @ItsMissShorty]

@PubliclyBuzzed Strongly agree Steve. Top 3 podcasts of all time for me, along with David Ridgen’s, Someone Knows Something, and Josh Hallmark’s, True Crime Bullshit. I found Bob on yt, because of his podcast. It’s an exemplar, for sure

[Karen Polley @KarenPolley2]

New to podcasts, a longtime aficionado of true crime, and now a new fan of @dridgen Been devouring the #SKS series. I think this is a story that is crying out for your expertise @dridgen

[Doug McConnell 🇨🇦 @DougMcConnell5]

@dridgen . Hey David. Have recently started to listen to the SKS podcast. I find it riveting. Excellent work. Thanks.

America lost a gentle giant in journalism when Stanley Nelson, who investigated some of the nation’s most notorious racially motivated slayings in Mississippi and Louisiana, died unexpectedly last week. He was 69.

CBC reporter David Ridgen, an award-winning documentary filmmaker and podcast host, worked with the reporter for years. “Stanley Nelson is the best of us,” he said. “A doer. Not a reminiscer. A teller. Not someone to leave anyone behind. A brotherly guy who you’d trust anything to.”

In 2012, he became a Pulitzer Prize finalist for his stories on the 1964 killing of Frank Morris in Ferriday, Louisiana, by Klansmen who belonged to the violent wing, the “Silver Dollar Group.”

Best-selling author Greg Iles depicted the journalist as the character Henry Sexton in his novel, “Natchez Burning.” Nelson chuckled to me about the portrayal, saying his alter ego lived a much more adventurous life: “He is a musician, has a girlfriend and is tech savvy — that’s something I don’t know a damn thing about.”

Iles said the most important writing he’s ever done “would not exist were it not for the inspiration and selfless collaboration of Stanley Nelson. I never knew another man who always did the right thing regardless of fear or favor, not motivated by hope for profit or fame. Stanley eventually gained a wide reputation for excellence, but not because he sought it. Because he earned it. And God knows the world is a better place because he lived and worked in it.”

@dridgen re-listen binging SKS from season 1. Just can't get enough of the best cold case series ever. Thank you David.

[Lynda Carol Kelly @LyndaCarolKelly]

@dridgen #SKS Another superb series I just finished listening to, David, on Chrissy. I can't believe how your cases are so often in such inhospitable places to search....I felt for you !! I hope one day you manage to locate something. Merry Christmas, too x

[BrittGOtime @BrittGOtime]

[NOT GREAT, BOB @_notgreatbob]

I've been listening to Someone Knows Something all day and at one point the host calls someone back and leaves a message and is like, "Hi, it's David Ridgen calling again, I received your message of 'go fuck you're self'" and it made me laugh really hard. I love this guy
