About this listen

I Must Have Forgotten is a memoir podcast by Beth, longtime host of True Crime BnB. This project witnesses and honors the small moments that shape a life.

It began with a boot floating down Wildcat Creek—and unfolded into a series of vignettes about memory, forgiveness, laughter, and the people who left their mark.

Each episode blends personal narrative with archival care, honoring the complex and precious figures who appear in Beth’s stories—not as villains or saints, but as humans doing human things, with human frailties.

With tenderness, humor, and emotional clarity, I Must Have Forgotten invites listeners to reflect on the ordinary moments of their own lives—the ones that make us strong, or break our hearts.

And sometimes both.

This is still Beth, but the room sounds different.

Performed with intent and sound design to support the emotional arc and honor the small moments of her life.

These are Beth’s stories.

And maybe, they echo yours too.

    Episode 9: Mischief, Mortality, and Michigan

    In Indiana’s woods and on a Michigan farm, mischief flirted with mortality. Childhood summers shimmered with laughter and thrill, kinships flickered and faded, and memory gathered the echoes.

    Campfires crackled, horsehair clung; river water swallowed, onion rings flew. Each small moment stitched into the fabric of becoming. Joy and danger entwined, teaching me that even the brightest moments carry shadows.

    Two summers stand apart: radiant, perilous, unforgettable. They taught me I was mortal, and they shaped who I became. Two summers. Two echoes. Mischief, mortality, and Michigan.

    Episode 8: Echoes and Artifacts

    Tables and swimming pools, paper dolls and record players — objects that carried recollections and experiences. Relics of history and heart, now gone.

    To honor the things that shaped us, as if they were characters in our stories, is the undertaking of memoir, the resonance of becoming.

    Our memory is a repository of echoes and artifacts; the scratches, the chlorine, the midnight booms. All the ways memory holds us, even as we let go.

    Episode 7: Of Tender Strength; Of Wild Hearts

    The healing after Fowler carried us forward, but not without speedbumps. Snow and speed, the shock of pain, and the quiet bravery that rose in its wake. Nights blurred with laughter and rebellion, and doors opened to more than just the dark of midnight.

    This episode moves between tenderness and wildness, between the ache of change and the thrill of mischief. It is a reliquary of bruises and balm, of hearts tested and carried, of the ways memory holds both fracture and flight.

    And the courage to ask for air.
