Good Show…BUT

Must admit the privilege by way of language and tone afforded to Russell wreaks! You both sound so sympathetic to this man who is convicted and so “woe is me.” I’m not sure you are aware—it doesn’t have to be burn him at the stake, but please consider your tone as white collar crime is just as harmful as other crimes. 8/2/2023

Awesome Show

I love this show. Seton and Matt have shown unbiased coverage in cases where other podcasts lean into a narrative. Keep up the great work.
