Podcasts about apple podcasts app

Hi! Dies ist eine kleine Ansage, also komme ich gleich zum Punkt: German Stories PLUS ist online!   „Was ist das?”, fragst du? Tja, hier kommt meine Erklärung. Bisher konnte man diesen Podcast nur werbefrei hören, wenn man ein iPhone hatte und die Apple Podcasts App benutzt hat, oder wenn man ein Abonnement für german-stories.com hatte. Aber ich habe jetzt beschlossen allen meinen Zuhörern, auch denjenigen, die ein Android Handy haben, Zugang zu werbefreien Episoden zu verschaffen.   Was ist überhaupt Werbung? Tja, wenn ich das Abonnement auf german-stories.com anpreise, dann ist das Werbung. Eigenwerbung, um genau zu sein. Wenn der Podcast plötzlich stoppt, und eine andere Stimme in einer anderen Sprache über eine Versicherung oder über den neuen Ford Pickup Truck spricht, dann ist das auch Werbung. Nur eben keine Eigenwerbung.   Jetzt gibt es diese Podcast-Episoden auch ohne Werbung, für alle Zuhörer und Zuhörerinnen, auf allen wichtigen Podcast-Apps, nicht nur Apple Podcasts. Gehe dazu einfach auf german-stories.supercast.com – dort kannst du German Stories PLUS bekommen: Höre alle Episoden von German Stories ohne Werbung und unterstütze diesen Podcast. Der Link ist auch in den Show Notes.   Für weniger Geld als ein Starbucks Kaffe kostet kannst du hier ein Abonnement abschließen. Dann kannst du direkt deine Podcast-App verbinden, sodass du in deiner gewohnten App zukünftig alle German Stories-Episoden ohne Werbung hören kannst. Also, ganz wichtig: Du musst deine Podcast-App nicht wechseln!   Das funktioniert für Apple Podcasts, YouTube Music, Spotify, Castro, Downcast, Overcast, Pocket Casts, Podcast Addict, Podcast Republic, Podkicker und RSS Studio. Aber es funktioniert auch in allen anderen Apps, denn sie geben dir auch einen RSS-Link, den du unkompliziert in deine Podcast-App einfügen kannst. Alles ganz einfach auf german-stories.supercast.com machbar. Es gibt auch einen freundlichen Kundenservice, der dir weiterhilft, falls du stecken bleibst.   Hier ist der Deal in Stichpunkten: Alle Episoden für dich keine automatische Werbung keine Eigenwerbung Unterstütze den Podcast Der German Stories Podcast wird auch normal weiter gehen und alle normalen Episoden werden weiterhin kostenlos sein. Nur eben mit Werbung und ohne uns direkt zu unterstützen.   Jetzt denkst du vielleicht, „wo ist denn der Unterschied zwischen German Stories PLUS und dem Abo auf german-stories.com?” Hier die Erklärung: 1. Abo/Mitgliedschaft für german-stories.com Ein umfassender Online-Kurs Online-Übungen, klickbare Dialoge, digitale Vokabelkarten, Extra-Audios, werbefreie Podcast-Episoden, ... Erfordert deine volle Aufmerksamkeit 2. German Stories PLUS Werbefreie Podcast-Episoden Unterstütze den Podcast Kannst du einfach nebenbei machen (beim Autofahren, Joggen, Abwaschen, wenn deine Schwiegermutter oder Freundin zu viel redet, wenn die Nachbarskinder ein Schlagzeug bekommen haben, wenn der Paketbote zum fünften Mal klingelt, wenn die Vorlesung in der Uni zu langweilig ist, ...) Hier ist nochmal der Link: german-stories.supercast.com Vielen Dank!       Übersetzung: Hi! This is a quick announcement, so I'll get straight to the point: German Stories PLUS is now online!   "What's that?" you ask? Well, here's my explanation. Until now, you could only listen to this podcast ad-free if you had an iPhone and used the Apple Podcasts app, or if you had a subscription to german-stories.com. But I've now decided to give all my listeners, including those with Android phones, access to ad-free episodes.   What even is advertising? Well, if I'm promoting the subscription for german-stories.com, that's advertising. A self-ad, to be precise. If the podcast suddenly stops and a different voice talks in a different language about insurance or the new Ford pickup truck, that's also advertising. Just not a self-ad.   These podcast episodes are now available ad-free for all listeners on all major podcast apps, not just Apple Podcasts. Simply go to german-stories.supercast.com – there you can get German Stories PLUS: Listen to all German Stories episodes without ads and support this podcast. The link is also in the show notes.   For less than the price of a Starbucks coffee, you can subscribe here. Then you can connect your podcast app directly, so you can listen to all German Stories episodes ad-free in your usual app. So, this is important: You don't have to switch your podcast app!   This works for Apple Podcasts, YouTube Music, Spotify, Castro, Downcast, Overcast, Pocket Casts, Podcast Addict, Podcast Republic, Podkicker, and RSS Studio. But it also works in all other apps, as they also provide an RSS link that you can conveniently add to your podcast app. It's all very easy to do at german-stories.supercast.com. There's also friendly customer service to help you if you get stuck.   Here's the deal in bullet points: All episodes for you No automatic ads No self-ads Support the podcast The German Stories podcast will continue as usual, and all regular episodes will remain free. It will just include ads and you won't be directly supporting us.   Now you might be thinking, "What's the difference between German Stories PLUS and the subscription at german-stories.com?" Here's the explanation: 1. Subscription/Membership for german-stories.com A comprehensive online course Online exercises, clickable dialogues, digital flashcards, extra audio, ad-free podcast episodes, ... Requires your full attention 2. German Stories PLUS Ad-free podcast episodes Support the podcast You can easily do it while doing other things (while driving, jogging, washing dishes, when your mother-in-law or girlfriend talks too much, when the neighbor's kids get a drum set, when the delivery guy rings for the fifth time, when the university lecture is too boring, ...) Here's the link again: german-stories.supercast.com Thank you!

Teachers are burning out. Classrooms are becoming harder to manage. And children are struggling to regulate their emotions in school. In this episode, clinical psychologist Dr Marianne Trent speaks with educational psychologist Dr Adam McCartney about what educational psychologists actually do in schools - and how psychological thinking can help transform behaviour, emotional regulation and staff wellbeing across entire school systems. Using real case studies from UK schools, we explore classroom behaviour challenges, teacher burnout, SEND pressures and practical emotional regulation strategies that help children and teachers thrive. Whether you're an aspiring psychologist, teacher, SEN professional, or simply curious about how schools support children's emotional wellbeing, this episode provides a powerful look at psychology in action.Useful Book Mentioned in the Podcast: Gabor Mate, Hold on to your kids: https://amzn.to/4uhX30iHighlights00:00 Why teacher burnout and behaviour challenges are rising in schools01:21 What educational psychologists actually do in schools04:27 Case study: a school system in crisis and how psychology helped stabilise it06:08 Why role confusion in school staff fuels burnout and conflict09:59 Supporting distressed pupils while stabilising the wider school system13:04 The power of systemic thinking in educational psychology14:38 Why reflective practice is essential for teachers and school leaders17:30 Case study: a “difficult” Year 4 class and emotional regulation19:11 Observing classrooms and understanding teacher dynamics22:14 Teaching emotional literacy through the classroom “corners” strategy25:23 Why teacher relationships regulate children's nervous systems29:04 Why children sometimes seek attention from teachers31:59 Doing better when we know better in education32:03 What education might look like in the age of AI33:32 Why creativity, connection and collaboration will remain essential skillsLinks:Listen to Adam's Podcast, Between Two Psychs: https://www.dradammccartney.com/betweentwopsychs

What Teenage Mothers Really Need - A Psychologist's PerspectiveTeenage pregnancy is often framed as a social problem, a failure, or a life “ruined.” But what if the real issue isn't the pregnancy - it's the stigma, judgement, and low expectations placed on young mothers?In this episode, I'm joined by Dr Hayley Lugassy, an educational psychologist who became a mother at 15.

In this episode of The Aspiring Psychologist Podcast, I'm joined by Dr Emma Hepburn, Clinical Psychologist and creator of The Psychology Mum, to explore burnout, shame in mental health professionals, creativity in clinical psychology, and what happens when your body forces you to stop. We discuss how Emma's illustrations began in NHS brain injury groups, how her “capacity cup” drawing went viral during the pandemic, and how social media traction unexpectedly led to publishing opportunities. We unpack the psychology of burnout, emotional exhaustion, stress overload, shame narratives, and why even clinical psychologists are not immune to mental health difficulties. Emma also introduces her fourth book, The Anti-Burnout Book, and explains how visual metaphors like the match, the teeny tiny thing, Brian the Brain, and the tortoise help bring psychological theory to life. This episode is relevant for clinical psychologists, aspiring psychologists, NHS staff, teachers, parents, creators, and anyone interested in burnout recovery, stress management, shame resilience, emotional regulation, and sustainable wellbeing.

By the time Toni Bergins reached grad school, her life felt like chaos. Beneath the surface, she was grappling with the lingering effects of childhood trauma, which manifested in body image struggles, disordered eating, and self-destructive behaviors. She became consumed by exercise and dieting, using alcohol as a coping mechanism. Then, one day, Toni took a dance class—unlike any other. There was no choreography, no rules. As she ran freely around the room, Toni felt like a child again. She broke down, crying, unraveling—but she had loved every moment of it. This was Toni's introduction to embodied movement—a form of raw, primal dance that encourages women to fully inhabit their bodies and embrace every emotion. Today, embodied movement is helping countless women heal from their trauma.Toni Bergins is the creator of JourneyDance, a form of embodied movement which is helping women transform their lives.

Very few of us ever get the chance to read a Victim Impact Statement for the trauma we endured in childhood. But Diane did. Frustrated by the lack of understanding and terrifying statistics surrounding childhood sexual abuse, Diane made the courageous decision to go to the police and hold her abuser accountable. It's a choice that comes with immense difficulty, as the path to justice is long and, as Diane shares with us, often skewed against the victim. Diane first shared her story on this podcast in 2022. Now, she returns to update us on her two-year fight for justice. To hear Diane's original story go to episode 86.

As you likely know, we are taking off from COJ and True Sunlight this week to focus on educating students around the Midwest so thank you for understanding and we hope you enjoy this bonus content! In today's Premium Dive Bonus episode, Attorney Rebecca Lindahl and reporter Sam Berlin discuss the implications of Buster's media interviews and public appearances, which could make him a public figure, complicating his defamation case. They highlight the legal protections for press, such as the Fair Reporting Privilege and Absolute Privilege. Also, Mandy Matney and producer/husband David recount Mandy's defamation lawsuit involving former USC professor, David Voros, criticizing the attorney Bill Padgett for pursuing baseless claims. Mandy shares the emotional and financial toll of the lawsuit, which cost over $33,000 plus all the stress, emotional toll, and havoc it caused. Becky Lindahl advises on handling defamation claims, emphasizing the importance of gathering evidence and seeking legal counsel early.   We believe in the importance of anti-SLAPP laws and the need for legal protections against strategic lawsuits aimed at chilling public speech or silencing specific individuals.

Did you learn to cope by shutting down from the time you were a baby? If your parent struggled to emotionally connect with you, you may have adopted a frozen state as a coping mechanism.

Sibling relationships are often romanticized as lifelong bonds filled with love, laughter, and mutual support. But for many, this is just not true. What happens when that bond becomes a source of pain, manipulation, and even abuse? In today's episode, we're diving into a topic that's often seen as taboo, whilst all too common—toxic sibling relationships. Mary Garden grew up in a toxic family. Her father was cruel and her mother depressed. Mary's sister was physically and verbally abusive, but whenever Mary was attacked, her parents would always put it back on her with the question ‘What did you do to provoke your sister?'. This toxic situation had a profound impact on Mary and subsequently led her to accept many other toxic relationships throughout her life. Mary shares about her epiphany, after years of dealing with an abusive sister, that she did not need to engage with this abuse any longer and details her decision to go no contact. Mary has written a book called My Father's Suitcase, where she tells her fascinating story of sibling and familial abuse. You can purchase the book here https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/0646890050 You can connect with Mary via her website https://www.marygarden.com.au/Key TakeawaysSibling Abuse Is A Taboo Topic: While sibling relationships are often idealized, they can sometimes be toxic and harmful, filled with manipulation, control, and even abuse.Recognizing Toxic Sibling Dynamics: We talk about the red flags of sibling abuse.The Impact of a Toxic Family Environment: Growing up in a toxic family can lead to patterns of accepting toxic relationships.Why You Should Go No Contact: Going no contact is a difficult but sometimes necessary step to protect your mental and emotional well-being. The Power of Self-Realization and Change: You have the right to set boundaries and prioritize your own well-being. Recognizing when a relationship is harmful and taking steps to change it, even if it means going no contact, can be life-changing.Join Our Subscriber Community for just $5 per month.

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell are once again forced to scrap their plans for an episode topic because of breaking news. On Tuesday, TikTok user JusticeNTruth4SCcourts posted never-before published 911 calls from Mica Francis and her estranged husband Pastor JP Miller. This caught Mandy's and Liz's attention because they had FOIA'd Horry County for just about everything one can think of or related to this case and yet these calls were not disclosed to us. This public agency said to us that they gave all they found....? Are the police protecting themselves and violating public information laws? Or is this trove of calls now part of a bigger investigation into what led to Mica's death in April?  Mandy and Liz break down the new calls and what they mean to the timeline.  They also consider new information revealed by both Mica and JP and how it fits into the bigger picture. What role — if any — did JP's oldest son play in the harassment Mica was experiencing in February, March and April? And did Mica actually sign the power of attorney that granted JP complete authority over her medical decisions?  The deeper the rabbit hole goes, the more sunlight Mandy and Liz seek to bring in this case.  Join Luna Shark Premium today at Lunashark.Supercast.com.

After Monday's settlement was announced between Myrtle Beach Pastor JP Miller and the family of his estranged wife, Mica Francis, investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell take a look at what led up to this moment. For the past two weeks, JP Miller has gone on a media tour … and when that tour didn't seem to get the reaction he wanted out of the public, he appears to have made a decision: It's time to post the recording from the night of March 11, when JP discovered that Mica was with another man. And not just that! Another video was posted: the full two-hour recording from JP's NewsNation interview, in which JP's comments about Mica's family — which were edited out from the broadcast — could now be heard. Both recordings were posted by TrueCrimeRI, the mysterious TikToker who seems to have partnered with JP in an alleged effort to get “Justice for Mica.” As JP and his circle publicly celebrate the settlement — and celebrate the call from Mica's family to end the Justice for Mica protests outside Solid Rock at Market Common Church— we are learning so much more about the fight that Mica had ahead of her in her divorce if she had lived …  Visit our new events page Lunasharkmedia.com/events where you can learn about the upcoming in-person and virtual appearances from hosts or submit your own ideas at lunasharkmedia.com/newevents.

Today, investigative reporters Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell take a look at everything JP Miller has said on the record thus far and offer an analysis of how his statements jibe and conflict with each other and with police and court records. Over the past month, Pastor JP Miller of Solid Rock Ministries in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, has taken to TikTok videos to combat what he says are lies being told about him after his wife Mica's death. Over the past two weeks, though, those videos have come down and JP appears to be on a media tour of sorts, starting with a two-hour interview he gave to TikTok user FloDaddy, a sit-down interview with a Myrtle Beach newspaper and a nationally televised hour-long segment on NewsNation. Also on the show, Mica Francis' best friend Charlotte Korn returns to discuss her thoughts on the cease and desist letter JP's lawyer sent her (along with a demand for evidence) and talk about what she thinks of JP's interviews.

Investigative reporters Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell share two newly released 911 calls in the Mica Francis case. In the first call, Mica's estranged husband Pastor JP Miller can be heard in the background as his loyal friend and associate pastor Tricia Ross tries to get Mica arrested by accusing her of theft.  As Mandy and Liz continue to piece together the days and weeks leading up to Mica's death in April, they're finding more and more evidence of the abject cruelty Mica might have been experiencing in February and March as the system got weaponized against her. In the second call, Pastor JP gives away what kind of church leader he is after calling police on a “bum” seeking water and reportedly in the middle of a potential medical crisis. Also on the show, in a TikTok interview, JP Miller says that before she died Mica tried to get JP to give her a handwritten apology letter detailing all the things he was sorry for. JP says “apology letter” but it sounds almost like Mica was trying to get JP to handwrite a confession. Was she working with the FBI before she died? Or was she just trying to get leverage in her divorce?  Visit our new events page Lunasharkmedia.com/events where you can learn about the upcoming in-person and virtual appearances from hosts or submit your own ideas at lunasharkmedia.com/newevents Premium Members also get access to episode videos, case files, live trial coverage and exclusive live experiences with our hosts.

Investigative reporters Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell give an update in the Stephen Smith case during the ninth anniversary of his mysterious death. Why did Highway Patrol stop looking into Stephen's death right after receiving its strongest lead to date?  Mandy and Liz look into the track record of the police officer behind a tip that introduced two new names into the investigation in 2015. Also on today's episode, 911 calls and police records show the chaos of Pastor JP Miller's life in the aftermath of two big scandals he brought onto his church — his 2015 affair with Mica Francis and Mica's recent death. After combing through dozens of reports involving the church, True Sunlight has a better picture about how JP and those in his circle have regarded the backlash. In one harrowing call to police — in which JP claims to be followed by an armed individual — police get a taste of JP's flair for drama and the many contradictions of his personality.  Lots to learn in this 58th episode of True Sunlight and more to come as Alex Murdaugh's appeal clock ticks down, Buster's defendants' responses are imminent and the FBI continues to look into Mica's case...

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell continue their coverage of the Mica Francis case, starting with JP Miller's shock and horror upon discovering a shirtless photo has been posted of him online. Social media came hard for JP this week with more accusations surrounding the tattoo of Mica's signature he has on his torso. Solid Rock Ministries continues its battle with protesters, who were assaulted by a sprinkler this past weekend. Mandy and Liz also break down the contents of the Medical Examiner's report into Mica's death — needless to say, the report raises more questions than it answers but mostly Mandy and Liz were astounded at its lack of thoroughness and its reliance on non-medical evidence. Plus, a newly released 911 call sheds more light onto Mica's state of mind on March 11, when she filed her restraining order against JP. It also sheds more light onto the broken system that failed Mica — and continues to fail women everywhere. Finally, two police reports filed by JP's ex-wife outline very familiar accusations of harassment and stalking … as well as very familiar shrugs from law enforcement.

We originally planned to take this week off entirely, but guess what happened...? We got a flood of FOIA responses in the Mica Francis case… This week, due to the dogged FOIAing from Beth Braden and brilliant mind of Liz Farrell, LunaShark was the first media outlet to receive the 911 call from the incident that led to Chris Skinner's death on September 6, 2021.  Tik Tok has been hot with Chris Skinner theories ever since the news of Mica's death hit national headlines — but JP's ex-wife's mention of Skinner in recent emergency protective order documents made those theories worth investigating in our opinion. On today's News Break “min-sode”, Investigative journalists Mandy Matney shares new details and the recently released 911 call concerning the tragic death of Chris Skinner in Myrtle Beach, SC. Mandy also highlights info available from recently released documents, while also pointing out inconsistencies in the drowning investigation and the intentional lack of witness statements.  We also continue to ponder the suicide ruling on Mica and raise concerns about JP Miller's behavior. And even though today's “mini-sode” is short, Luna Shark Premium Members are getting a second bonus episode this week where reporter and producer Sam Berlin just could not let go of a pressing question from the Murdaugh saga… where did the money go?   We'll be back next week with a full examination of all this and more...  Until then Stay tuned.

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell — formerly of Murdaugh Murders Podcast — give an update on the latest drama involving Alex Murdaugh. His remaining son, Buster Murdaugh, filed a defamation lawsuit this week against major networks over documentaries they ran, which he said falsely insinuated he had something to do with Stephen Smith's death. He is also suing a Hampton County reporter and his newspaper company for that same thing. Also, a federal judge issues an order in the Nautilus case, in which the insurance company who issued a multi-million dollar payout to Cory Fleming in Gloria Satterfield's death is suing to get their money back. In his ruling, Judge Richard Gergel notes that the insurance company KNEW that something fishy was going on with the Satterfield case and yet STILL gave Cory that money. Why? The insurance company feared the payout would be worse if it went to a Hampton County jury. Also on the show, Mandy and Liz continue to connect dots in the Mica Francis case as Mica's estranged husband, John-Paul Miller, continues to make TikTok videos in the hopes of putting out his own narrative about what their marriage was like. Plus, the disturbing patterns in JP's parents' divorce in 2002 and what it tells us about JP's upbringing.

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell continue down their path of discovery in the Mica Francis (Mica Miller) case and how her estranged husband, Pastor JP Miller, tends to operate, knowing the system will largely have his back. From TikTok videos in which JP threatens to expose Mica's private musings to divorce court, where he showed up in a wheelchair, to his 2021 pardon hearing where he showed no remorse, the collective of JP's actions and words show a man who thinks he only has to say something is true for it to be considered that way.  Mandy and Liz share audio from JP's pardon hearing as well as court transcripts that give more insight into how his first divorce went down.  Also on the show, Alex Murdaugh's cantankerous attorney Dick Harpootlian loses his bid for state Senate and all the power that came with that seat.

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell continue their real-time coverage of Mica's case — which they're now going to call the Mica Francis case to give Mica back her identity free from Pastor JP Miller.  As each week passes since Mica's death, more information emerges about the utter hell she was experiencing in her attempts to escape JP. On Wednesday, her divorce attorney Regina B. Ward — who is now representing her family — announced that plans are in the works to champion a law that would criminalize coercive control, which they would call Mica's Law.  Watch the Press Conference Here: https://youtu.be/VerJib7RwsM On today's episode, Mandy and Liz share more information about Mica's attempts to divorce JP, including what was in the divorce filings, as well as what Mica's family was seeking from the court this week before reaching an agreement with JP. Also on the show, they discuss the SHOCKING revelations in a recent affidavit filed by JP's first wife, as well as the many incidences of abuse outlined in Mica's journals, according to information from Regina Ward. Premium members will get an extended version that includes an update on former Clerk of Court Becky Hill and whether her ethics violations mean anything for Alex Murdaugh's murder conviction. Premium Members get an exclusive update about a new lawsuit that has emerged from the Murdaugh Murders Saga.

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell find more pieces to the puzzle in what Mica Miller's life was like before her death in a North Carolina swamp.  Just a month before Mica's death, old paperwork granting her husband the authority to make all medical decisions for her — including whether doctors fight for her life — was filed in the Horry County Register of Deeds Office.  Mandy and Liz break down what was happening with that power of attorney and point out small details that could be revealing a larger truth about Pastor JP Miller's mindset and his attitude toward Mica.  Also on the show, Mandy and Liz start to share parts of their journey down the Wayne Miller rabbit hole. For decades, JP's father was seen as a big player in the world of evangelists until a series of alleged sexual transgressions — as well as a very serious federal conviction for allegedly 'enslaving' bible college students — began to destroy his legacy. As Wayne Miller's career took another hit in 2006, JP's church came to life.  Premium Members get an update about a new lawsuit that has emerged from the Murdaugh Murders Saga.

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell continue their deep dive into the Mica Miller case and into Mica's estranged pastor husband, John-Paul Miller, who stands accused of harassing Mica in the days leading up to her death. On today's episode, Mandy and Liz talk about what happened in November 2022 after JP instigated what would become a defining fight of their relationship. The escalation starts with two ominous 911 calls placed by Mica's sister, who feared for her husband and young son after JP threatened to come to her house “armed and ready” to take back Mica, who had fled there after their argument. Then Mandy and Liz reveal what was happening behind the scenes during Mica's hospitalization less than two weeks later, when JP tried to stop Mica from getting help and threatened police officers when they tried to speak with her alone.

Before South Carolina pastor's wife Mica Miller was found dead in a North Carolina state park at the end of April, her best friend tried to get church officials to step in and do something about Pastor JP Miller's “volatile” behavior toward Mica. They admitted seeing it too … but they did nothing. Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell continue to look into what Mica's life looked like leading up to her suicide. In this episode, Mica's best friend speaks out about what she saw happening in her friend's marriage — from a November 2022 blow-up in which JP's friendly mask came off to Mica's attempts to escape from his control to JP's continued attempts to control the narrative — and about Mica's frame of mind as she started to gain independence from him. One thing is for sure: Mica was a beloved member of JP's church and when she filed for divorce two days before her death, the thing he feared the most — that Mica would leave him and cause a split in his congregation — was about to happen.

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell untangle the very strange — and very heartbreaking — death of Mica Miller, a 30-year-old pastor's wife from South Carolina whose body was found in a North Carolina state park a few weeks ago.  Over the weekend, journalists, true crime aficionados and people hoping for justice learned about Mica's death, accusations of marital abuse and her in-progress divorce, along with one very strange sermon in which her estranged husband — John Paul Miller — announced her death to his flock by telling them to stand, listen and don't talk about what they're about to hear after they hear it. Internet sleuths worked overtime, convinced the road to Mica's death would lead them back to her husband. When Robeson County Sheriff's Office deputies released details about why they had ruled Mica's death a suicide, they provided an answer, but many more questions still linger.  Through suicide, Mica Miller pointed the world toward her husband, who she feared would “put a bullet in her head.”  This week's episode of True Sunlight looks at the investigation into Mica's death and digs into police reports that outline what Mica's life looked like in the months and weeks before she took her own life.  Also on the show, why was Michael Colucci's murder trial postponed AGAIN? And Premium Members get an extended version with more information about the decision to delay the Colucci case.

The Michael Colucci retrial is less than two weeks away in the Charleston area of South Carolina. Did Michael kill his wife, did she kill herself or did Sara Lynn Colucci die after tripping and falling into the loose loop of a garden hose? Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell — who helped bring justice in the Alex Murdaugh cases — continue their pre-trial digging in the hopes of bringing more sunlight to the Colucci case this time around.  This week they share what they found in newly discovered reports that show all the times police were called to houses where Michael has stayed. A social media post by one of Michael's friends appears to be mocking pre-trial coverage of Michael's case. Police reports continue to add confusion to the question of Michael's bond status. Plus, a look at how investigators handled — or didn't handle — accusations that Michael vandalized his parents' beach house after getting evicted and the coincidence of when this case was dropped.  Also, Michael's high-priced and big reputation attorney Andy Savage files a slew of pretrial motions, trying to prevent the jury from finding out that HE destroyed evidence in the first trial. Stay Tuned, Stay Pesky and Stay in the Sunlight...☀️ Premium Members also get exclusive access to detailed timelines, police reports, and even photos from the shocking damage from the 2nd home Michael was kicked out of. AND premium members will get access to our live coverage starting May 13.

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell — known for their work in covering Alex Murdaugh's murders and atrocious schemes — continue their look into the Michael Colucci case. In three weeks, Michael will be retried for the 2015 death of his wife Sara Lynn Colucci, who he says killed herself … or maybe tripped and fell into her noose?  In the days and weeks before Sara Lynn's death by asphyxiation, she and Michael got into several fights over text about the state of their marriage. In this 48th episode of the True Sunlight Podcast, Mandy and Liz give a play by play of what those texts say and how they stand in stark contrast to the picture Michael's defense attorney attempted to paint during his first trial. Also on the show, they talk with Kim Colucci Lizzi, Michael's stepsister, who gives listeners a look into her family dynamic and what led her father, Ivo Colucci, to kill his wife — Michael's mother — just two years after Michael's own arrest for murder.  Warning: This episode may contain language not suitable for all audiences If you think you've seen Michael Colucci out and about in the last 5 years, contact the SC AG's office here: AG's Office General Information 1-803-734-3970 Premium Members also get exclusive access to detailed timelines, police reports, and even photos from the shocking damage from the 2nd home Michael was kicked out of.  AND premium members will get access to our live coverage starting May 13.

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell continue to shine the light on a corrupt judicial system in South Carolina. This week they helped bring attention to and did their part to stop the legislature from electing prosecutor David Miller to a judgeship — after exposing Miller's role in getting thrice-accused rapist Bowen Turner a secret soft plea deal in 2022. Also on this 47th episode of the True Sunlight Podcast, Mandy and Liz break down what happened during Bowen Turner's latest ride to jail this past March (spoiler alert: he's exactly the racist, homophobic, misogynistic person they thought he was). Plus listeners get another look into their deep dive into the Sara Lynn Colucci case. We're now one month away from Michael Colucci's retrial for the 2015 death of his wife. Mandy and Liz share what they've learned about Sara Lynn's volatile relationship with Michael in the weeks leading up to her death. Premium Members also get exclusive access to Liz and Mandy breaking down Alex Murdaugh's appeal(s) for his state murder charges and now federal financial crime convictions...
