    Hosts are disturbingly chummy with known egotistical chauvinist attention seekers.

  • The Outdated Racial Caste System, USA and Blanca

    When Blanca shows such respect for people who were so destructive, but probably wouldn’t show that same respect for the people who built South Carolina and USA (people of African descent), it’s a sad testament to how broken the USA is.

  • I Just Can’t…

    I was a listener from the beginning of this podcast. In spite of their protest of neutrality, these people just want *so much* for Murdaugh to get a new trial and be found not guilty that I can no longer listen. It’s just painful to listen to.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Becky Hill Pleads Guilty But Not to Jury Tampering & Jurors' Attorney Reacts
Q: Can you let us give us some insights into the definition of jury tampering as done by South Carolina law?
The theory or interpretation of existing case law suggests that any measure of influence by a court official can shift the burden and trigger a presumption of material tampering.
Stephanie Tinsley on Her Passion Project and The Hulu Murdaugh Show
Q: What do you think about the Murdaugh potential retrial, the appeal?
I don't think it's going to happen; I think he is where he is and he's going to stay there.
Stephanie Tinsley on Her Passion Project and The Hulu Murdaugh Show
Q: What has it been like working with him and kind of delving into that legal aspect of it?
I'm so glad that he's been able to share this experience with me; I would hit record on my phone to go back later and listen again and again.
Stephanie Tinsley on Her Passion Project and The Hulu Murdaugh Show
Q: Did it change your opinion of, say, defense attorneys?
Yes, I became more compassionate to defense attorneys after seeing what can happen with a lack of a defense attorney.
Stephanie Tinsley on Her Passion Project and The Hulu Murdaugh Show
Q: How did you manage to pull off such a professional-sounding podcast without having any experience?
I had time to think about what I wanted and what I wanted to sound like. I've been obsessed with True Crime and True Crime podcasting for a long time.
