  • Multi dimensional coverage of crime cases

    I started listening to this podcast because it had the best coverage of the Dan Markel murder. The topics are current and the guest are knowledgeable. I watched the recent Donna Adelson trial with STS and found their commentary and answers to questions knowledgeable and interesting. Most importantly, this is information that I could not get elsewhere, especially the legal analysis. Keep up the great work!

  • Outstanding in-depth coverage of the Markel case & so much more!

    Found this podcast and the STS YouTube livestreams while searching for up-to-the-minute coverage of the Donna Adelson trial, and have been listening non-stop ever since. Love the wide range of brilliant & diverse expert guests, the depth of coverage, and the compassion for victims/survivors. I learn so much every time I listen, and there really is nothing else like it. So impressed and riveted!
