False Confessions, No Evidence: Inside the Yogurt Shop Murders Miscarriage of Justice In this powerful segment of Hidden Killers Live, we continue watching the APD press conference and confront one of the most devastating truths about this case: the state prosecuted and convicted the wrong men. Michael Scott and Robert Springsteen were convicted in 2001 and 2002, based on confessions taken after 18- and 5-hour interrogations respectively. No physical evidence tied them to the crime scene. They were convicted anyway. In 2009, DNA evidence excluded them—and charges were finally dropped. But the damage was already done. Springsteen had been sentenced to death. Scott to life. We play back the portion of the press conference where Travis County DA Jose Garza publicly acknowledges their innocence—and we react to the gravity of what that admission means. This isn't just about a late apology. This is about decades of institutional failure. It's about tunnel vision, bad interrogation tactics, and a justice system that clung to a theory while DNA screamed “you're wrong.” We talk false confessions, prosecutorial overreach, and what real restitution should look like in cases like this—because you don't just walk away from death row and go back to normal. #YogurtShopMurders #FalseConfession #WrongfulConviction #MichaelScott #RobertSpringsteen #CoercedConfession #TravisCountyDA #JusticeReform #HiddenKillersLive #InnocenceAcknowledged Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

"Lived Through That” is the companion podcast to my book where I look at influential musicians of the 80s and 90s and where they are today. On this podcast, we'll delve deeper into a single pivotal moment in the lives of some of the artists I feature in that book, as well as other artists I love and admire. The stories they tell are open, honest, and inspiring. This week, we have musician Wille Nile on the show. Willie is a singer-songwriter who burst onto the scene with his acclaimed solo debut back in 1980, and while some legal hurdles in the industry temporarily slowed his solo path, they never came close to stopping him. Over the years, he's shared stages with icons like The Who, Bruce Springsteen, and Ringo Starr. In today's episode, Willie takes us back to the moment he first fell in love with rock and roll — and how discovering the raw energy of the Beat poets helped shape his unique musical voice.

Singer, songwriter, producer, and actor Steven Van Zandt aka Little Steven is perhaps best known as a member of Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band. But the talented musician also co-founded the band Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes, as well as his solo act, Little Steven & The Disciples of Soul. He later found success in an entirely different career, playing the inimitable role of Tony Soprano’s consigliere Silvio Dante in The Sopranos and Frank Tagliano in Lilyhammer. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member recently released his autobiography, “Unrequited Infatuations,” which chronicles the many twists and turns that make up his remarkable life. Steven tells Alec why Bruce Springsteen was originally not allowed in his band, why he decided to walk away from the music business, and how he became a part of television history - twice.

Yogurt Shop Murders: DNA Bombshell & TV Confession in Kraus Backyard Murder Two devastating crimes. One episode. And a justice system that failed in both. Tonight on Hidden Killers Live, we dive into two of the most emotionally and legally disturbing cases we've ever covered. First—the Yogurt Shop Murders. Four girls brutally killed in 1991. And for years, police pursued the wrong men. Two were convicted. One died under the shadow of suspicion. All were innocent. Now, thanks to genetic genealogy and forensic DNA, the real killer—Robert Eugene Brashers—has been identified. But there's no trial coming. Brashers died by suicide in 1999. So what happens when the truth arrives three decades late? We unpack: How fire-damaged evidence was finally reanalyzed Why police ignored signs pointing away from Springsteen, Scott, and Pierce The role of coerced confessions, tunnel vision, and flawed interrogation strategy What this case teaches us about criminal psychology and investigative failure Then, we pivot to an equally bizarre and tragic case: Lorenz Kraus, who walked into a CBS6 newsroom and calmly confessed on camera to killing both his parents and burying them in the backyard… seven years ago. In Hour 2, we break down the video, explore the potential god complex behind his confession, and ask what happens when someone bypasses the justice system entirely—and tells their story to the press instead. This isn't just a double feature. It's a breakdown of how cases go wrong, how lives are ruined by bad policing, and how—sometimes—truth shows up late, if at all. Subscribe and watch to the end. Because justice delayed is one thing. But justice denied is something else entirely.

At age 59, Anne Abel had never been to a concert. Ever. Music wasn't part of her upbringing, although emotional abuse and belittlement from her parents absolutely were. Reluctantly agreeing to join her son and daughter-in-law to see Bruce Springsteen, Anne's mind was absolutely blown by the energy and generosity of the musicians and the crowd. Bruce shined a light on a better possible world and allowed her to have fun for the first time in her life. Something awakened. Soon, Anne booked a solo trip to Australia, following Bruce to eight concerts. In her book chronicling the trip, High Hopes, Anne describes literally rubbing elbows with Bruce and the band, experiencing cathartic joy, and opening a path to a better, happier, more fun life. Her depression wasn't cured, that's not how it works, but her collaboration with Bruce has helped her a lot.Wits Reunion Show at the Fitzgerald TheaterJohn Moe's writing classes at the Loft Literary CenterThank you to all our listeners who support the show as monthly members of Maximum Fun.Check out our I'm Glad You're Here and Depresh Mode merchandise at the brand new merch website MaxFunStore.com!Hey, remember, you're part of Depresh Mode and we want to hear what you want to hear about.

Rock legend Bruce Springsteen publicly blasted President Trump and his policies, saying “we’re living through particularly dangerous times." As Trump increasingly targets the arts, artists are faced with the question of whether to speak out or keep their heads down.

My guest is Claire Jeffreys who has made her directorial debut with a documentary about her husband Garland Jeffreys. It's currently available to stream on Apple TV, Google Play, Prime Video and YouTube. In the late 1970s, many of music's top tastemakers felt sure Garland Jeffreys would become the next big thing. Rolling Stone named him the “most promising artist” of 1977. The prestigious PBS program Soundstage predicted he would become “the next performer to lay claim to superstardom.” That sense of missed opportunity forms the emotional core of a new documentary about the star titled "Garland Jeffreys: The King of In Between". The title refers both to Jeffreys' musical style — an uncategorizable mix of rock, reggae, and soul — and to his identity as the mixed-race son of a Black father and a Puerto Rican mother who struggled to find his place in the overwhelmingly white world of '70s and '80s rock. With fellow artists Laurie Anderson, Bruce Springsteen, Harvey Keitel, Vernon Reid, Alejandro Escovedo, Graham Parker, writers Robert Christgau, David Hajdu, Jamaica Kincaid and Roger Guenveur Smith, this is a warm and intimate look at an artist who belongs in the conversation.

When an actor opens their mouth to sing in a movie, chances are high that the voice you hear will be their own. Even in music biopics, movie stars without much singing experience regularly go to great lengths to impersonate the most beloved vocalists of our time. Why not simply play Johnny Cash or Bruce Springsteen's actual recordings, the reasons why we care about them in the first place? When the world is full of beautiful singing voices, why force Pierce Brosnan to bray his way through Mamma Mia? What you hear when an actor unhinges their jaw is a matter that Hollywood has been negotiating since the dawn of sound. So in this episode, we'll learn about the “ghost singers” of classic Hollywood musicals, find out why they went extinct, and why today's music biopics so often fudge the music. Then we leave Hollywood for Bollywood, where the rise of the celebrity “playback singer” shows what can happen when good singing is the highest priority. In this episode, you'll hear from Slate's pop music critic Jack Hamilton; musicologist Dominic Broomfield-McHugh, editor of The Oxford Handbook of the Hollywood Musical; Stephen Cole, co-author of a memoir by the ghost singer Marni Nixon; Isaac Butler, longtime Slate contributor and scholar of American acting; and Nasreen Munni Kabir, who has written several books on Hindi cinema and curates Indian films for the UK's Channel 4.
