Love the pod! Glad to hear your voices again. Listening today and was so happy to hear about you going to high schools to speak with the students in forensic classes. My daughter’s high school has them and she took them and now she is a freshman in college, majoring in forensic psychology! I wish you had been doing this before she graduated (and were in our part of the country)!!! 😊

I grew up in the town where the court proceedings took place. My Mother was actually foreman of the jury on this case and was sequestered for quite some time. You had some interesting points. I wanted to listen to your first podcast, but I believe you said it wasn’t available?

Love the format of your show. I think it’s really clever to do it “Topic” style instead of season or year. Amazing content, well researched, well spoken. Great listen and I do! Weekly! 😅🥰 Fellow Podcastsr Producer/Host, Kellye R. CenLAw Podcast
