New episodes every weekday. Every morning, investigative journalist Garret Fisher delivers the most explosive courtroom coverage you won't find anywhere else.

Seven days a week, Garret brings his signature no-nonsense analysis to the trials everyone's talking about—and the ones they should be.

True Crime
A sudden phone call changes everything. "Your Majesty," comes the voice that William has never heard addressed to him before. In that instant, the Prince of Wales becomes King William the Fifth, thrust into the most demanding role on earth while still processing the devastating news that his father has died. King William takes listeners inside the most dramatic royal transition in modern history—a speculative series exploring what happens when constitutional duty collides with private grief, when ancient ceremonies meet modern media, and when a family's most intimate moments become the world's most watched drama.

Unfollowing because it downloads other shows that “I may like” several times a week. Very annoying.
Umm, Consent?!? Hello?!?

I love this show, I love the concept...so much negativity comes at us constantly, this is a great 'thoughts and energy reset!' Yes, there are ads. That's not the fault of hosts, really...we all deserve to earn a living. Honestly, we all have 'commercial breaks' in our '9 to 5.' I don't mind them. I've considered (many times, actually!) supporting the show / network yet never have due to the invasive 'you may like *random show*' drop into my feed. No. I won't. If I wanted another show, I would find it just as I've found my other 103 subscribed pods. It's called CONSENT and I'm saying NO! STOP FORCING OTHERS AND THEIR PODCASTS INTO MY FEED!
