    Disclosure: The Epstein Files

    Toward the end of 2023, a US judge decreed the public had a right to know the names of multiple people listed in court documents pertaining to the crimes of notorious financier and human trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. This list of his known associates includes tycoons, royalty, celebrities, and more than one president. But what about the allegations that Epstein was supplying victims to sexual abusers -- will any of these other people, if guilty, be brought to justice? Tune in as Ben and Matt explore the Epstein files.

    CLASSIC: How Jeffrey Epstein Broke The Law and Got Away

    Jeffrey Epstein made a name for himself as a mysterious money manager with friends in very high places, from Bill Clinton to Donald Trump, British royalty and more. His firm refused to do business with anyone worth less than one billion dollars, and Epstein traveled the globe, often throwing exclusive parties on his own private island. Yet this jet-setting money whiz was also dogged by rumors -- rumors of ongoing sexual abuse with multiple victims. At least some of these rumors turned out to be true. Any other person would have spent years in jail ...so why is Jeffrey Epstein walking free today? Tune in to learn more.

Best podcast ever!

I’ve been listening to this podcast for over 10 years at this point! Started out with their YouTube channel and I have appreciated this podcast being my top show for so long now. Ben, Matt & Noel- please please never stop this podcast!!! You three are so funny, compassionate and knowledgeable. I love that I always learn new facts and most of all, I love that this a conspiracy realism show. Literally growing alongside this show feels surreal but amazing too lol wishing you three all the success always!

Love the show and love seeing the haters!

Hi Ben, Matt, and Noel! I’ve been listening to the show since you started in 2008. I used to watch the old video episodes on my iPod in high school, and now still listen weekly. Your voices have accompanied me through a masters, law school, moving to 5 different countries, and other big life changes. I really appreciate the research and work that goes into the podcast. Even when I don’t agree with everything that might be said, I am grateful for the thoughtful and rational discussion of interesting topics. Listening for 18 years sometimes makes it feel like I’m listening to old friends.

I’m not on Twitter anymore, but heard you talk about the reviews you were receiving on your latest Listener Mail episode. It’s clear to me that a lot of these low reviews are people who can’t handle an evidence-based approach to some of the things they might believe. Or those who have been sent to leave a bad review even if they’ve never listened. If you’re making people mad, you’re doing something right!

Keep it up, guys, and here’s to many more years of the show. Thanks for everything.

dont know a nickname ,

Hm

Love the show but honestly, I have to write a review because of their downplaying of the AI deepfake content of Taylor Swift going around. They aren’t just “naughty and stylized” they’re a form of sexual assault and misconduct with no consent. I would urge the hosts to try and think about their fake nudes going around.
