EDGE NEWS EXCLUSIVE: “Blurred Lines” – The Podcast Episode That Crossed Every Line

If you thought the WHO IS NO/ONE podcast was already a chaotic mess, think again. Teddy Barstow, the paper’s metro editor, had to step in after Julia Paige quit (honestly, can you blame her after last episode’s fallout?).

Teddy’s appearance was one long confession. He admitted that the show pressured Julia to name three suspects, and now two are either dead or shot—Vince Harmon (shot but survived) and Donovan Kemp (RIP). Teddy didn’t shy away from blaming himself for essentially turning the podcast into a hit list. And yet, instead of pulling the plug, he and The Ledger are keeping the show going. Their rationale? They’re blurring the lines between journalism and something closer to a true crime circus, and this mess is far from over.

Then there’s NO/ONE—our city’s masked vigilante—who failed to save Kemp in time. NO/ONE’s timing was off, and questions remain: Was Kemp just bait? Was this setup intentional? Teddy’s not offering any clear answers, and it seems like the podcast’s whole purpose has shifted into a guessing game about who the real Richard Roe is: Aaron Kern, Richard Roe, or some other player?

And the podcast isn’t pulling any punches when it comes to building conspiracy theories, either. The fact that NO/ONE’s efforts keep getting thwarted feels a little too coincidental, and Teddy’s shrugging it off like it’s just part of the chaos. It’s not hard to imagine we’re being played in a bigger game, and Teddy’s too tangled in it to care.

Despite the body count and the chaos, Teddy’s forging ahead with the podcast, seemingly undeterred by the mounting evidence that his investigative tactics are dangerous. Let’s be real here: after Kemp’s death and Harmon’s shooting, how many more bodies is it going to take for someone to shut this down? If Pittsburgh has learned anything, it’s that this podcast is creating far more questions than answers—and none of them are leading us toward the truth.

So, Pittsburgh, get ready. The next episode promises more of the same—conspiracy, blurred lines, and maybe even more casualties. If your name’s on the podcast, you might want to start watching your back.

Catch you on the next episode of WHO IS NO/ONE, where it seems that every answer comes with even darker consequences.
