    I’ve listened to most episodes and they are great except I’m YET. To hear one dinosaur story, they were killed too and we need Brachiosaurus representation

  • Over 400 episodes…

    After recording over 400 episodes of this podcast—and countless others hosted by the same team—it’s clear that the two hosts remain fundamentally incapable of critical analysis, skepticism, or even asking basic questions about the narratives handed to them by law enforcement or the media.

    They’re personable and easy to listen to, no doubt. But you could probably hand them a script on baking apple pies and they wouldn’t notice until halfway through. That’s how little attention they seem to pay t... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Oakland County Child Killer Part 2
Q: What does the expert think about the use of polygraphs in this case and their impact on investigators?
Polygraphs were historically influential but unreliable; many suspects were cleared or questioned based on polygraph results, which modern understanding treats as not scientifically definitive and not admissible in court.
The Oakland County Child Killer Part 2
Q: Is there evidence to support more than one offender in this case?
Profiling suggests one offender is more likely based on probabilistic patterns unless strong evidence indicates a second person; the data does not definitively prove a second offender, though some discussions in the files imply possible accomplice scenarios.
The Oakland County Child Killer Part 2
Q: Do you have an estimate of the offender's age range based on available materials?
Age is difficult to pin down precisely; the offender likely has the emotional maturity to live independently and maintain privacy, pointing to a broad range from early 20s to 50s, possibly even 60s, with prior offense history suggesting not a first-time offender.
Nancy Guthrie
Q: How do law enforcement agents decide what information to release in a case like Nancy's?
It's about preserving information, managing the flow of leads, and determining what's important for public knowledge and tips.
The Weaver Family
Q: What could have been done to prevent the tragic outcomes in this case?
More thorough investigations could have been initiated earlier, especially given Ward's history and proximity to the victims.
