Podcast Overview

What happens when the official story doesn't add up? Join Daniel Torres as he picks apart the cases, scandals, and mysteries that everyone else stopped asking questions about. This isn't your typical true crime podcast — it's investigative documentary work that digs into current events, historical cover-ups, and social issues that deserve a second look. Daniel spent eight years as a freelance journalist chasing down everything from small-town corruption to corporate whistleblowers. He started this podcast because the best stories always had too many layers for a newspaper article. Now he's using that same dogged reporting to unpack the investigations that matter, the ones that got buried, and the ones that are still happening right now. Each episode is a deep dive into real documentation — court filings, leaked memos, forgotten archives. You'll hear the actual evidence, not just opinions about it. Daniel breaks down complex cases so you can understand what really went down and why it matters today. Sometimes he even convinces his neighbors to share their weird hobbies, which honestly makes for surprisingly good radio. Ready to question everything you thought you knew? Follow Proof Positive for multiple new episodes daily and start seeing the stories behind the stories.
