About This Program

Edgar Allan Poe and more is a programme that delivers stand‑alone episodes centred on curious and often baffling historical or contemporary events. The series adopts a documentary‑style format, and each instalment presents a self‑contained investigation for viewers to follow. In this episode, presenter Don Wildman tackles three separate mysteries. First, he examines the perplexing death of an author whose demise has never been satisfactorily explained. He then turns his attention to a sunken space capsule, noting that the wreckage supplies valuable clues about a NASA disaster that remains shrouded in uncertainty. Finally, Wildman investigates a medical manual that has generated considerable controversy, probing why the publication has provoked such debate. Wildman approaches each case with a methodical curiosity, moving from literary intrigue to aerospace tragedy and then to the world of medical literature. By juxtaposing these distinct stories, the episode underscores a common thread of unanswered questions and the difficulty of attaining definitive conclusions. The investigative segments are presented in a clear, chronological fashion, allowing the audience to see how each piece of evidence contributes to the broader picture of mystery. At the conclusion of the broadcast, Wildman summarises the limited evidence uncovered for each subject, highlighting the lingering ambiguities that keep these stories in the public eye. The episode leaves viewers with a concise account of what is known, while reminding them that some puzzles may never be fully resolved.
