Stay Away from Matthew MaGill

Pineapple Street Studios and Audacy 9 Episodes Mar 10, 2025

When Matthew MaGill died alone in the woods on the Florida-Georgia border, he left behind a box filled with artifacts from an incredible life: from Broadway in the 1970s, to a 747 hijacking, to the culture of drugs and luxury cars in 1980s Florida. A series of coincidences leads reporter Eric Mennel to the box, sending him on a five-year search to understand the truth about its owner. As Mennel learns who Matthew MaGill really was, he is confronted with questions about his own life, his own mistakes, and his own family secrets.
