STAY AWAY FROM MATTHEW MAGILL
Pineapple Street Studios’ new podcast STAY AWAY FROM MATTHEW MAGILL recounts the series of serendipitous events that led award-winning journalist Eric Mennel on a five- year journey to investigate the life of Matthew MaGill, a mysterious man who died alone in the Florida forest.
During his final years, MaGill told wondrous tales of a life filled with adventure, but due to his circumstances everyone doubted the veracity of his stories, writing him off as a fraud. That all changed when a box filled with proof of his incredible life was uncovered upon his death. This box contained records of everything—from his marriage to a famous Broadway star to his decision to go into hiding after a law enforcement raid. But what makes this podcast stand out in the marketplace is the powerful way that Mennel’s exploration of McGill prompts an exploration of his own life and his relationships with his family.
