    As much I am intrigued by the story , I can’t focus with the terrible background music.

  • So much more than just a headline

    Great details of a much larger story than just a mugshot or a 2 minute summary on a morning news podcast.

  • Awful host voice on season 2

    Can’t really get into this next season as I don’t find the host voicing it to have a voice or pacing that sounds nice. A shame really, I enjoy the 20/20 podcasts very much

  • Great host

    Balanced and insightful. Not the usual bombastic trial coverage. The host uses plain language and is really engaging.

  • Important case—boring podcast

    First season was good. Second season soooo boring. Long rambling single interviews for whole episodes. 😴

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Trial: The Prosecution’s Closing Argument
Q: How do we feel each side did making their case over the course of the trial?
The prosecution has presented strong evidence through texts and testimonies, while the defense hasn't called witnesses but aims to create reasonable doubt by challenging the prosecution's case.
The Trial: The Prosecution’s Closing Argument
Q: What is the story the prosecution told the jury with their closing argument today?
The prosecution focused on themes of power, violence, and fear, alleging that Sean Combs used these tactics to operate a criminal enterprise involving sex trafficking.
The Trial: After the Verdict
Q: Will Diddy's conviction have any bearing on civil cases?
Yes, the civil cases have a lower standard of proof, and while Diddy's criminal case affects perception, it does not determine the outcomes of civil cases.
The Trial: After the Verdict
Q: What was the scene inside the courtroom when the verdict was read?
It was extremely tense in the courtroom when the jury came in, with audible reactions as they read the verdict, including Diddy pumping his fist when he heard not guilty on the first counts.
The Trial: Verdict Watch
Q: Can Diddy be prosecuted again if a mistrial is granted?
Yes, if a mistrial is declared, the government has the opportunity to decide whether to retry Sean Combs on the charges applicable to the case.
