Florence, Alabama. 1988. A preacher has an affair. A woman is murdered. One death cascades into more, stretching across decades and leaving no one untouched — victims, bystanders, perpetrators, and those just trying to help. Eventually, the consequences lead to the center of a hot national debate on who should be allowed to live, who should die, and how the state should kill them.

  • Hack

    Oh sorry, that was just me coughing. Anyway, yet another faux-intellectual man with a podcast and bad takes, from being transphobic to being an Epstein apologist. Gross.

  • You used to be something

    Your self-limiting beliefs and anti-trans stance now make you yet another old man who couldn’t stand up and out but instead decided to jump on the anti-trans bandwagon. As a result you’re no longer relevant and frankly, you’re on the wrong side of history. Perhaps something you want to revision and revisit.

  • More Malcolm please

    Have been a long time fan of Malcolm and this podcast gives me life. I am not ready to give up hearing from Malcolm though! The ads are insane though, I’m not sure I’ve come across any other podcast that has this much ad time. Makes me sad.

  • Disappointing

    Sorry, Malcolm, I haven’t always agreed with you but always felt like I learned a lot by listening. I won’t ever be able to trust what you say or report on again. I’m such a disappointed listener.
