    BONUS EPISODE w/ Marty Montes - EP11

    "Our last podcast is a "Bonus Episode" with Marty Montes, an astrological life coach, spiritual author, and inspirational speaker.  In this episode, we thought it might be fun to hear what the stars have in store for Joe Exotic.  This is not about the trial, but a fun bookmark between Season 1 and Season 2.  A really interesting and insightful look at Joe's life journey from a very outside-of-the-box perspective, which is right in line with Joe's character. Enjoy!”

    Jim Rathmann, Investigative Consultant - EP10

    “In our series finale we have a truly thought-provoking interview with Investigative Consultant Jim Rathmann.  Jim does a stellar job of piecing together the many moving parts, investigative holes, and questionable choices made in Joe Exotic’s case. In this most provocative  episode, we wrap up the trial of Joe Exotic with Jim’s investigative take on what really happened and the facts to back it up. An episode not to be missed.”

    “How The Feud Ignited" - EP9

    Everyone knows that Joe Exotic and Carole Baskin have been feuding for years, but how did it all get started?  Who instigated this fight, what was the point of it, and how will it ever get resolved?  In this episode we hear from entertainment lawyer, Lee Morin, who helps us understand how the first lawsuit went down and what could be in store for the future of both parties.  As always, we hear Joe thoughts on where he stands, and what he intends to do down the road. Beyond all the legal understandings, this is a fascinating look at human nature.

    Todd Foster, Part 2 - EP8

    Another great interview with our expert on the federal judicial system  In this episode, Todd Foster, a former FBI Agent and federal prosecutor, who is now a federal defense attorney continues to explain not only how Joe was up against incredible odds during his federal trial, but breaks down specific choices made and how they may have impacted the jury.  We also hear a lot from Joe himself regarding his thoughts about the judge and what he considers to be his ineffective counsel.   We also learn what Joe believes was the real agenda for this case.  A provocative conversation on all fronts!

    Todd Foster, Part 1 - EP7

    This episode is one of two that really help our audience understand what Joe Exotic was up against, when facing federal prosecutors.  The Feds are a tough bunch in the courtroom and our guest, Todd Foster, knows all about it.  Todd is a former FBI agent, who then became a federal prosecutor before moving into his current role of federal defense attorney.  A rock star on all fronts, and a legal expert that has much to impart about how the whole system works.  Although the federal legal system can be complicated, he is able to explain it to the average listener in conversational and captivating ways. And, as always, Joe has a few choice things to say about his trial as well!

    Vernon Yates, Founder of Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation in Florida - EP6

    This week’s guest in Vernon Yates, a legend in the animal world, and founder of Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation in Florida.  Featured on The Netflix Series, “Tiger King”, Vernon is as outspoken as Joe Exotic on Carole Baskin and the federal agencies that oversee wildlife.  A man who has had his fair share of run-ins with all - especially the USDA, the very agency that went after Joe Exotic and turned him into the FBI.  Vernon is a great interview!

    Anne Patrick, Part Two - EP5

    "As we continue our compelling conversation with Joe’s loyal friend and confidant, we hear all the details surrounding the conviction of Joe largely based on the testimony of Allen Glover, the alleged “hitman”.  Anne was there when it all went down and has much to reveal about what really happened with the “burner” phone Allen claimed he received, and the “payment” for the hit.  The evidence proves this was not the case, (this phone was stolen by Allen and the money was a loan from the zoo), but Joe was convicted anyway.  Anne’s account of what she considers a miscarriage of justice along with more about life inside the GW Zoo makes for a powerful episode”.

    Anne Patrick, Part One - EP4

    “There are few, if any, that know Joe Exotic better than Anne Patrick.  She is not only one of his most loyal friends and confidants, but she was living at the zoo when the whole alleged murder-for-hire scheme went down.  She joined Joe when he ultimately walked away from the life he had built, and intimately knows most of the key characters in this story.  She not only reveals unique details of what transpired, but reveals in no uncertain terms, what people need to know about Joe’s questionable trial.".

    "Reporting From The Scene" Part 1 - EP2

    Cameras are banned from federal courtrooms, so there is no video of the “United States of America vs Joseph Maldonado-Passage” trial.  We found the next best thing - an in-depth interview with News 9 reporter Sylvia Corkill, who covered it all.  In this episode, listeners will get a firsthand account of the media circus, the people in the courtroom and trial details that have never before been revealed.
