Celebrities, athletes, politicians, influencers and even royalty can all land in the firing line.

Why does it matter? Because we invest in them.

We give them space in our homes, our budgets, our feeds, and sometimes, our hearts. We put them on pedestals. So when they fall, we want the truth. But in an age of AI-generated "evidence", misinformation, and unqualified newsfluencers, separating fact fr... more

    Anoushka’s hate on Taylor swift is literally so uncalled for. Enough is enough she’s not on trial. Quit speaking out of turn on things you don’t know.

  • Not the best journalism

    I enjoyed the P Diddy trial updates but the baldoni-lively podcast showcased a low level of journalism. It’s OK if you are clear you are just an entertainment podcast I guess… Presenting baldoni’s arguments but not his evidence, and countering them with Lively’s un-evidenced claims from 11 months ago is poor and deceiving. The next episode is going to showcase her response - here’s hoping you’ll also counter it with 11 months of facts.

  • Journalism?

    I listened the episode “Trump, the bbc, the $1bn dollar threat”, and nowhere in the episode there was a reckoning, an admission of even a mistake. The host and her guest spent the episode giving arguments on how the BBC could defend itself in a lawsuit, basically on how to cover their bum with no reckoning of any type. Do you think us listeners are stupid?. I don’t like Trump, but that is not an excuse to publish a lie. How can you claim to defend truth and objectivity if you fall in worse mista... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni settle lawsuit
Q: What do you think of that joint settlement statement?
Sean Kent says it was nuanced and carefully worded, crafted to avoid committing either side to public discussion while signaling resolution.
D4vd charged with murder after Celeste Rivas Hernandez case update
Q: Can you explain the difference between a grand jury indictment and a preliminary hearing in California?
In California, the grand jury can indict after hearing presented evidence in a secret proceeding, while a preliminary hearing is a public proceeding where the defense can question the state's case; both serve to determine whether there is probable cause to move forward to trial, but the grand jury process is private and the preliminary hearing is public.
D4vd charged with murder after Celeste Rivas Hernandez case update
Q: What are the three special circumstances, and why do they matter for the case?
The three special circumstances are lying in wait, murder for financial gain, and the murder of a witness to prevent testimony; they are meant to elevate the crime's severity and can make the defendant eligible for the death penalty or a life sentence without parole if proven.
D4vd charged with murder after Celeste Rivas Hernandez case update
Q: Let's just go to basics. First of all, what exactly is first degree murder and what's the relevance of the special circumstances?
First-degree murder in California is an upgraded, premeditated form of unlawful killing that can be enhanced by special circumstances such as lying in wait, financial gain, or witness involvement; if proven, these enhancements can lead to the death penalty or life without parole, depending on the specifics and later judicial decisions.
Singer D4vd Named as Grand Jury ‘target’
Q: Shaun, can you remind everybody what a Grand Jury is?
A Grand Jury is an investigative body that examines evidence, hears potential witnesses, and votes on whether the case should proceed toward indictment; it determines if there is enough evidence to charge someone, not a verdict of guilt.
