  • Still interrupting

    Jim clearly isn’t capable of letting anyone else talk without interrupting. When does it stop? His expertise is being overshadowed by his indignation, yelling and interruptions!!

  • I mean...come on.

    Jim, I'm so sorry about what happened to you, really.

    But how many episodes are you going to focus on ohio state? When have you obsessively reported on women being victimized in similar ways? Two episodes about Nassar?! You guys sound like this has never ever happened to anyone before. Your outrage is lost on your women listeners

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#570: Surviving Ohio State gets personal continued
Q: What led to your courageous voice in 2018?
A conversation with Mark Coleman about the Nassar case sparked a realization that similar abuses happened to us at Ohio State. It was a tipping point that led me to gather evidence and speak out against the doctor.
#553: Double mystery in connecticut part 1
Q: Was there any physical evidence found linking Richard to the crime?
There were some fragments of remains found, but they were never confirmed as Heli's. Much of the case relied on circumstantial evidence and the prosecution's theory of motive due to financial issues stemming from their divorce.
#553: Double mystery in connecticut part 1
Q: What can you tell us about the incident that led to Heli Crafts’ disappearance?
Heli Crafts disappeared during a contentious divorce with Richard Crafts. The police investigated and eventually arrested Richard for first-degree murder due to circumstantial evidence linking him to her case.
#550: Geo-Forensics 2
Q: Have you ever tried cognitive interviewing with them?
Yes, cognitive interviewing is used with offenders, focusing on retracing their steps and utilizing detailed recall techniques.
#550: Geo-Forensics 2
Q: Are there current efforts underway to try to find Keith Bennett using these techniques?
Yes, ongoing efforts are in place to search for Keith Bennett, though activities are kept low-key due to media interest.
