  • Transcripts NOT available for subscribers

    The free version has transcripts, but the paid version doesn’t. That’s weird, so I decided to cancel my subscription.

  • Unfortunate pro-genocide bias

    Good reporting globally but there has been an ever progressing bias to obfuscating and rationalizing genocide and treating Isreal as if it has done nothing wrong. The bias is hurting the rest of their credibility. They could do better by platforming victims of that regime and humanize those who are being genocided.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Happy Pod: I invented a way for my brother to communicate
Q: How does Ben's assistive technology actually work on a practical level?
The system uses two switches: one scans options on a screen and the other selects the chosen option; additional buttons allow reversing the scan, giving Ben control to navigate apps, games, and web searches that are important to him.
The Global Story: The global network hunting predators on the internet
Q: How has technology changed the work from the early days to today?
In the early days, investigations relied on basic email and instant messaging with manual data crunching; modern efforts benefit from advanced data analysis and cross-border coordination, though the core goal remains the same: locate victims and bring offenders to justice.
The Global Story: The global network hunting predators on the internet
Q: What was the turning point that finally unlocked the case and led you to Lucy?
A brick from a specific American plant provided a geographic pin, allowing investigators to narrow the search radius and social-media reconnaissance within that area, which led directly to Lucy.
The Global Story: The global network hunting predators on the internet
Q: Can you walk us through how this case first showed the potential of global cooperation to you?
The case started with a Danish colleague recognizing a pattern in photos that suggested a U.S. location, which opened the door to international collaboration and a coordinated effort across several countries to trace the victim and identify the perpetrator.
The Happy Pod: Filling the empty chair left by my best friend
Q: Dean, how does it feel knowing that people all around the world are engaging with Empty Chairs?
It's surreal and shocking how quickly it grew; there was no clear plan, but the daily commitment and authenticity drew people in, turning a personal grief project into a global community effort.
