  • Great, neutral reporting

    Don’t pay any mind to the Mandy Matney bots/mean girls.

    This is a great podcast that maintains neutrality and doesn’t stoop to the cursing and name calling of other podcasters (not journalists).

    The episodes are hard to follow I just started listening with the intent to binge. However even in the first episode the hosts are discussing things that have “already been mentioned in previous episodes”. The episodes are clearly edited in a way that I am unable to tell what the hosts actually knew at the time of recording vs what was learned later on. Simply put, the episodes don’t flow. Terrible for a binge listen. Also, the male host really goes out of his way to explain or justify the polic... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Mica Miller & Understanding Death By Suicide: A Conversation With An Expert
Q: What is a psychological autopsy and how does it help us understand suicides better?
It's a structured interview process to gather information from family, friends, and others to reconstruct the moments leading up to a suicide, helping clinicians understand risk factors and warning signs that might be missed otherwise.
Mica Miller & Understanding Death By Suicide: A Conversation With An Expert
Q: Before I let you go, what would you tell people to say to someone who they think is suffering severe depression and having suicidal thoughts?
Start with direct, nonjudgmental questions about whether they are thinking of dying by suicide, acknowledge their feelings, and offer practical support and resources; such conversations can open the door to help and are often a relief to the person, rather than planting ideas.
Deposition Drama In "Outrage" Lawsuit
Q: How is a third-party witness typically handled in depositions under South Carolina law?
Under Rule 45, a subpoena for a third-party must name the court, identify the case, and command testimony; the process also protects the non-party's rights and privacy, and may include monetary reimbursement for unavoidable burdens.
Deposition Drama In "Outrage" Lawsuit
Q: What is the judge likely to do about the deposition of Ms. Matney given safety concerns?
The host predicts the judge will likely continue discovery, order the deposition, and set a safe location, possibly awarding fees to the opposing side, or even taking a contempt finding if compliance is not achieved.
Judge Denies Stand Your Ground Defense in Killing of Scott Spivey
Q: What is the Stand Your Ground shield and how does it affect civil immunity?
The shield is civil immunity that can bar civil litigation if it applies, but a judge's ruling can deny it in a civil context, potentially allowing civil claims to proceed or leading to criminal considerations if the shield no longer applies.
