S12, Chapter 4: The Machine

A check for $1,000 and on the memo line... Toy Give Away.Another one for $3,000... Toy Drive. Both made out to the chief of police. Two days before Christmas. ... In a final effort to rid us from what I consider to be frankly evil gamlbing ads, I have decided to remove all ads from season 12. If you'd like to support the show you can do so on Patreon or PayPal. https://www.patreon.com/tapesfromthedarkside/ https://www.tapesfromthedarkside.com/paypal I'll keep you updated as I continue to lobby Spreaker / Vox Media for a common sense option to disable gamlbing ads without paying their exorbitant (borderline extortionate) monthly fee.

Season 12, Episode 2

S12, Chapter 2: The Winning Phase

Nine apps. Ten days. Hundreds of bets. I'll walk you through what a gambling spiral looks like firsthand. We'll take a look at the $314 million machine that put these apps in front of me. And the illusion of control that almost turned a ten day experiment into something that much much worse. Karl Jacobson wasn't so lucky. His childhood; filled with alcoholism and abuse. As a cop, he spent his life trying to become the kind of person who makes others feel safe. The person you can trust. And the disease that lived in his childhood home found him anyway. Not through a bottle, but through a screen. Resources If you or someone you know is struggling with gambling, the National Problem Gambling Helpline is available 24/7 — call or text 1-800-522-4700.

S11, Chapter 2: California Men's Colony

Two men are locked inside the California Men’s Colony — a medium-security state prison tucked away in the rolling hills of San Luis Obispo. It wasn’t a fortress like San Quentin. It didn’t house the state’s most violent criminals. And its reputation was far from what you’d expect of a place that would soon become a breeding ground for one of the most sadistic criminal partnerships in modern history.

S12, Chapter 3: The Randy Cox Thing

On the floor of a New Haven holding cell, paralyzed, while the officer standing over him laughed and asked why he kept winking, Randy Cox said: "I need somebody to take me seriously." It's on page 17 of a 70-page internal affairs report, no news outlet ever printed it, and it's the reason this episode exists.
