• Bundy DNA closes 1974 case, 2026-10-30
  Recaps the DNA link and Bundy's image
  Recaps the DNA link to Melissa Ann Smith and then spends most of its time on Bundy's pop-culture image - The Deliberate Stranger, Ann Rule's friendship with him, the fandom - arguing that Kevin Sullivan's books get closer to the truth. Stays inside the announcement.
• Hedgepeth alternate-suspect ruling, 2026-10-24
  Predicts an appeal of the alternate-suspect ruling
  Revisits the ruling barring Karina Rosario as an alternate suspect, agrees with it, and predicts an appeal. The substance is the hosts' own view of online suspicion of Rosario, not a development in the case.
• Hedgepeth verdict, 2026-10-24
  Plays the clerk reading the verdict
  Plays the clerk reading the verdict and lists the five convictions - first-degree murder, rape, sexual offense, burglary and felony murder - then argues the evidence was overwhelming and no other verdict was possible. It stays inside the verdict already on the record.
• Hedgepeth verdict, 2026-10-24
  Walks through the verdict-day timeline
  Walks through verdict day itself: deliberations opened at 9:30 a.m., the jury asked for the latent fingerprint and DNA lab summaries, and the verdict came back at 4:24 p.m. Notes the same-day sentencing as a contrast with Indiana practice.
• Hedgepeth verdict, 2026-10-24
  Runs through the trial's cast of lawyers
  Runs through the cast of the trial - the three defense attorneys, the three prosecutors and Judge Keith O'Gregory - with brief praise for each side's performance. Background and color around the verdict, not a new development in the case.
• Hedgepeth verdict, 2026-10-24
  Recaps the 2012 murder and 2021 arrest
  Opens the verdict episode with a recap of the 2012 murder, the 2021 arrest via investigative genetic genealogy and a DWI charge, then a general explanation of DNA as circumstantial evidence. Background only, ahead of the verdict discussion.
• Hedgepeth verdict, 2026-10-24
  Opens on the guilty verdict on all counts
  Opens the day-twelve episode with the verdict itself: guilty on all counts, announced without a tease before the hosts introduce themselves and the case.
• Corona school shooting plot arrests, 2026-10-23
  Adds Meta's own flag to the FBI
  Retells the Corona arrests from the FoxLA report and presses on the one detail the earlier coverage left out: Meta flagged the girls' messages itself and sent them to the FBI. The hosts debate what that means for privacy and whether automated monitoring or user reports were behind it, and note the revenge motive is unconfirmed.
• Hedgepeth trial, day nine, 2026-10-20
  Weighs Heinrich's jail call against witnesses
  Picks up Heinrich's testimony on the stand: the difficulty of locating witnesses a year after the murder, and his reading of a March 10, 2024 jail call in which the defendant denied knowing anyone at the apartments, which the hosts set against witnesses who said otherwise.
• Hedgepeth trial, day nine, 2026-10-20
  Breaks down the judge's ruling on the motion
  Walks through the judge's ruling on the defense motion to strike: the 'we found our person' line comes out, but Heinrich's consistency opinion stays, and a curative instruction may follow. Then argues the rape question from common sense rather than the record.
• Hedgepeth trial, day nine, 2026-10-20
  Covers the defense motion to strike testimony
  Covers the defense's motion to strike parts of lead agent Justin Heinrich's testimony on day nine, including his remarks that Karina Rosario's statements were consistent and that the case was a rape. The hosts find the objections unconvincing but note a memorandum of law went into the record.
• Hedgepeth trial, day nine, 2026-10-20
  Reflects on the state's rested case
  Reflects on what the state's case-in-chief accomplished now that it has rested, weighing the DNA evidence against the accused and teasing an unspecified misstep on day nine that the hosts promise to detail later.
• Hedgepeth trial, day nine, 2026-10-20
  Recaps the case as the state rests
  Opens day nine by recapping the 2012 murder, the 2021 arrest and the legal teams, then notes the state has rested its case-in-chief and the defense now takes over.
• Fielder's Holmes documentary, 2026-10-20
  Argues why Holmes keeps denying wrongdoing
  Wraps the spoiler-light first-half discussion with a recommendation of The Rehearsal season two and a long argument about why Holmes keeps denying wrongdoing - identity, shame, and the new company's need for investors. Analysis and opinion, no new development.
• You Can See Everything, 2026-10-20
  Recaps the film's open-ended portrait of Holmes
  Recaps the film's open-ended portrait of Holmes and the new company she and Evans are trying to launch, framing it as a question of whether she has learned anything. Stays inside the ground already covered and teases the second half for a later episode.
• You Can See Everything, 2026-10-20
  Debates whether the film's portrait is manipulation
  Debates whether the film's quirky-misunderstood portrait is a manipulation tactic borrowed from wrongful conviction narratives. Anya reads Holmes as a skilled manipulator relitigating her convictions; Kevin feels sympathy for her as a mother but still sees entitlement and fraud. Stays inside the film's framing.
• You Can See Everything, 2026-10-20
  Walks through the Who's on First scene
  Walks through the Who's on First scene at length: Holmes laughs politely, cannot explain the joke, and Evans says it shows she sees things differently. The hosts debate whether that is quirk or deflection, but the facts stay inside what the film already shows.
• You Can See Everything, 2026-10-20
  Analyzes Fielder's interview technique and her tears
  Analyzes Fielder's interview technique, his use of silence and repeated follow-ups, and reads Holmes's crying as either sincerity or a tactic to stall. Stays inside the film's scenes already on the record.
• You Can See Everything, 2026-10-20
  Walks through the access and the sympathy it builds
  Walks through the first half's access and the sympathy it produces: Holmes caring for her two young children in the month before prison. It stays inside the access and humanizing angle already on the record, adding reaction rather than a new development.
• Fielder's Holmes documentary, 2026-10-20
  Recaps the indictment, trial and sentence
  Walks through the legal backstory before the film discussion: the 2018 wire fraud indictment of Holmes and Balwani, the January 2022 trial, the mixed verdict, and the roughly 11-year sentence. Background that sets up the documentary rather than new reporting on it.
