THE BELIEVERS
a missing student. a haunted lake.
The Believers is an eight-episode podcast that centers on the 2019 disappearance of college student Ryan Sadowski from Albuquerque New Mexico. But when Ryan is found dead thirteen hours later and fifteen hundred miles to the east, just outside of Atlanta, Georgia, where his body is pulled from Lake Lanier, the investigation seems poised to take a turn. Except it doesn't. It goes cold. And it stays that way. But that's where we come in.
Told in the present day, we'll set forth to create a documentary-style listening experience that unfolds as a journalistic look into the mystery of what happened to Ryan Sadowski. The story weaves elements of Catholicism, occultism, and historical realism to fabricate a novelistic investigation told in the first person by our narrator, Rachel Levin.
