What Happens in the Woods Podcast is run by the dynamic duo, Jess and Brice.
We’re just your average couple, living normal lives, who happen to be obsessed with everything related to true crime. Shortly after relocating to the great Pacific Northwest, we realized there were stories upon gruesome stories to be told from this region. And we want nothing more than to share them with you.
Since our first episode on The Green River Killer in February of 2020, it has been an incredible journey for our little indie podcast. We’ve covered notorious serial killers, strange cyanide poisonings, and even old-time kidnappings. What Happens in the Woods has recorded over 50 episodes and has gained listeners from all around the world. From our regular season to our WTF Wednesday segments, we hope to provide true crime lovers with cases that they may not have heard of. Join us during our regular seasons on every first and third Friday of the month as we take a deep look into the dark and twisted. It isn’t for the faint of heart, but we promise it will be worth it.
And remember...STAY OUT OF THE WOODS!

We’re back with a mid-season episode with a twist many people never saw coming. This week, we have it all…a disappearance, a betrayal, online profiles, a mega church, and a sex club. Oh, my! There was much to discuss in this episode.
We want to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who joined us for the livestream WTF episode! It was amazing to do and we can’t wait to do it again with you all. If you didn’t catch us live, head here to watch the replay. (Skip to about 18 minutes to avoid all the technical difficulties)Our winner for the giveaway will be announced today in an Instagram post, make sure to head there to catch that! The winner will receive their choice of WTF hoodie, valued at $35 (plus tax, s&h).
In other news: Patreon is coming! The future home for all your favorite fuckery will be live on October 11th. We will be offering 2 WTF episodes a month, released on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of the month. Come share in the laughter with us!
