  • Episode on teenage rapists

    Whilst I don’t agree with the sentences the two boys received, a YRO is the highest tariff before prison. It is an intensive programme aimed at getting the offender to understand the seriousness of their offences and the effect on their victims. The UK government is discouraging sentencing young people to Youth Offenders Institutes, because they may be locked up 22hrs out of 24, receive no education, or meaningful treatment and be exposed to gangs and extreme violence. They come out worse than t... more

  • Informative & ethical

    One of the only truly informative and ethical podcasts regarding true crime.

    Hosts are involved in law enforcement so there is a bias towards law enforcement. Sometimes they critique the investigative efforts, but not as much as they should.

    This is something you need to ad... more

  • Unprepared and unpolished

    I listened to one episode and could not finish it. One of the podcasters was so unprepared it was frustrating to listen to. Makes me wonder how badly their work was done when they worked for the FBI. Yikes.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#611: The Gaming-Hacking Connection part 2
Q: What can platforms like Roblox do to protect younger users while allowing a legitimate gaming environment?
The discussion pointed to age-checked accounts, tightened access controls, and parental involvement as steps Roblox announced, plus the idea of live verification and better filtering to separate ages and limit contact between different age groups.
#611: The Gaming-Hacking Connection part 2
Q: If the hacker is fined $14 million, is that reflective of the total losses or just a fraction of what was stolen?
The guest suggested that the $14 million likely represents a fraction of the total losses, with many victims and larger sums involved over several years of hacking.
#607: The Ugly Underneath
Q: Why is training and collaboration so important in these investigations?
Training, especially in interviewing and undercover techniques, helps investigators build accurate profiles, reduces mistakes, and enables coordinated efforts across agencies, ultimately improving protection for children.
#607: The Ugly Underneath
Q: Tell us about the book. How is it broken down and what do you cover?
The book includes personal experiences from the author both in and out of law enforcement, explores the good and the bad of the work, discusses the necessity of breaks and self-care for investigators, and provides resources and guidance for readers who want to understand or support this line of work.
#606: Poison
Q: Anyway, and with me today is who?
Kathy Canning-Meller, retired FBI agent and profiler, joining to discuss the case details and investigative angles.
