either be mysterious or simply draining. In the podcast, Someone Knows Something by CBC/David Ridgen, it is clear that there is no true ending. The podcast is based around a cold case from 1972 where 5-year-old Adrien McNaughton goes missing mysteriously on a fishing trip with his family. Intriguing, right? Well, not necessarily. In some cases, and it seems like this podcast fulfills this case, having an unknown ending can lead to disaster. A podcast, such as Serial, ties in to the positive side…
