    The traditional true crime episodes are good, but it would be awesome to have more episodes like Epstein, Operation Ajax, and January 6th!

  • Why is it now explicit?

    I have listened to every episode and look forward to new drops each week. Two episodes ago, the rating was switched to "explicit". That's disappointing. Is it for content or for language?

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Ed Gein Case
Q: Do you think Ed Gein was actually insane?
It's hard to determine without his medical records. While some believe he was insane, I've seen people commit heinous acts purely out of evilness, so it's difficult to definitively classify him.
The Markel–Adelson Murder
Q: What could be the potential charges for someone who assists in covering up a crime?
They could be charged with being an accessory after the fact if they help the person evade justice after the crime has occurred.
The Markel–Adelson Murder
Q: Was Wendy involved in the murder of Dan Markel?
It is heavily implied that Wendy knew about the conspiracy, as evidenced by her behavior and comments during the investigation and trials.
Nicole Brown Simpson Case pt. 1
Q: Why did you feel so strongly that he was guilty?
I listened to the evidence and looked at it with a fresh set of eyes trying to figure out what I wanted to be as a prosecutor.
The Epstein Files pt. 1
Q: What happens to Epstein Island now that Epstein is no longer around?
There's curiosity whether the island is abandoned or if someone will buy it, given the dark history surrounding it.
