Series Summary:After the Fall is a true crime podcast unlike any other. Hosted by Odessa Lane—a former crime scene photographer turned audio detective—this series traces the ripple effects of a single crime across the lives it fractured. Each episode explores not just the act itself, but the quiet, haunting consequences left behind. Odessa’s voice is poetic, lyrical, intimate, and quietly relentless. These aren’t whodunits. They’re what-was-lost. What-happened-next. What-refuses-to-die.
