IMO Steve Hodel proved his father knew ES and perpetrated her undoing. Not buying this take on her murder. Still great interview questions, sadly very biased answers.

Eric, I have left you a review before, but I just had to tell you that your interview with Chris Pouy is fascinating!! I remember seeing his mother on TV as a child! Thank you for having him on to tell his story, that should be a much more well known story. I hope it gets the attention of a producer because it would make an excellent movie or series!

Most people can’t do that and occasionally it causes the guest to add some unplanned intriguing comment. I’m also a great admirer of Erik’s books—the re... more
Apple Podcasts5IndependentWUnited States4 months ago - Will stop following show
I will not follow or support a show that accepts disgusting advertising for ICE, which is destroying our due process rights. When the show stops accepting this advertising I will return. Very sorry I really liked the show but am appalled at the advertising choices.
