I really love this podcast and have been a listener for a while. I find myself listening to less episodes now that majority of them are reconsidered cases. I honestly skip past names of cases I’ve already heard, especially if there are no major updates.
I love all the episodes! I don’t know if I love the reconsidered ones, I don’t think there is much new information but I love the weekly episodes and are my fav podcast to listen to every week!!!
I’ve been listening for years and absolutely love how thoughtful Amy + Megan are about the criminal justice system and those who intersect with it.
I’m also loving reconsidered - they’re cases I have forgotten about/haven’t listen to in awhile - so it’s always interesting to see how the hosts and my own opinions change as time goes on.
Great show, huge fan, thank you both for sharing the stories of those impacted by violence in a caring, educational, and inquisitive way.
I really love w&c, campus killings and direct appeal but sometimes there’s mannerisms that make me a little crazy. When Amy’s talking and Meghan has to repeat what Amy says or incessantly says “mhm” or “okay” after every sentence Amy says is so distracting to the tales. Like many others, the reconsidered episodes aren’t my favorite. While I do appreciate the updates, some have little to no update to them at the end of the episode afterwards but I’m also afraid not to listen in case there really ... more
Always look forward to the next episode, love that you have introduced Reconsidered yet done so IN ADDITION to

Two criminology professors analyze high-profile female-focused cases through a criminology lens, pairing narrative storytelling with theories about victimology, prosecutorial power, and the legal system. Episodes cover a wide range of cases—from intimate partner violence to white-collar crime and missing persons—while weaving in updates, socio-legal context, and advocacy work. A standout aspect is the blend of rigorous academic perspectives with accessible storytelling, plus recurring emphasis on victims, justice, and reform. The show's clear ethical stance and guest-less, expert analyses make complex legal and criminological concepts approachable for educated listeners who enjoy deep dives with a feminist lens.
