About This Podcast
I Must Have Forgotten is a memoir podcast by Beth, longtime host of True Crime BnB. This project witnesses and honors the small moments that shape a life.
It began with a boot floating down Wildcat Creek—and unfolded into a series of vignettes about memory, forgiveness, laughter, and the people who left their mark.
Each episode blends personal narrative with archival care, honoring the complex and precious figures who appear in Beth’s stories—not as villains or saints, but as humans doing human things, with human frailties.
With tenderness, humor, and emotional clarity, I Must Have Forgotten invites listeners to reflect on the ordinary moments of their own lives—the ones that make us strong, or break our hearts.
And sometimes both.
This is still Beth, but the room sounds different.
Performed with intent and sound design to support the emotional arc and honor the small moments of her life.
These are Beth’s stories.
And maybe, they echo yours too.
