We dive into spectacular family fallouts after Brooklyn Beckham seemingly threw shade at David and Victoria in a cryptic new DoorDash ad, prompting a caller to reveal a family rift that started over a literal tin of biscuits. We also look at the RAC's newly released list of Perth's riskiest roads, which crowned the messy West Perth stretch of the Mitchell Freeway and Baldivis Road as our local driving nightmares. Plus, Tom scored a spot in our TabTouch $10k Penalty Shootout.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Part 2 of our interview with The Family Man author James Lasdun gets into what happened the night of the murders — and what was deliberately kept from the jury.The full SLED timeline included communications between Alex and men with criminal records on the day of the killings. Prosecutors removed those names from the condensed version. Alex had deleted his entire phone log from that week. Cousin Eddie texted him three cryptic words the next morning. None of it was presented at trial.The defense had a plan to present Eddie as an alternative suspect. Eddie failed a polygraph about the murders and told SLED an obviously fabricated story about what happened at Moselle. Jim Griffin told the author that Eddie on the stand would have been their best shot at reasonable doubt. Prosecutors made sure it never happened by pulling Eddie from the witness list.Then there's the physical evidence that doesn't fit cleanly. Maggie's car with the seat position wrong. Tire tracks near the bodies that were never run down. Paul's phone being picked up by Alex moments after finding the bodies.And the theory no one has explored publicly — built around a phrase Alex allegedly used: "things just got all fucked up." Was the night at Moselle a staged attack that was never supposed to end in real violence? The same con Alex tried three months later with Eddie on the Old Salkehatchie Road?Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Send us Fan MailIn this Journal Club episode, Ben and Daphna review a systematic review and meta-analysis from JAMA Network Open questioning the clinical value of predischarge car seat tolerance screening (CSTS). Driven by data suggesting that testing does not reduce 30-day mortality or hospital readmissions, they discuss the high failure rates, varying definitions of bradycardia and desaturation, and the unintended consequence of prolonged NICU stays. They also highlight the practical reality of CSTS in ensuring parents actually have an appropriate car seat at discharge.

The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) is warning consumers against the use of head straps in children's car seats. The product safety warning comes after extensive online market surveillance by the CCPC. Through these searches, the CCPC conducted a sweep of 100 product listings and attempted to obtain the required safety documentation for each product. All 100 listings were removed as the safety of the products could not be demonstrated. The products in question were being sold across five online marketplaces: Amazon, Cdiscount, Joom, Shein and Wish. They may be for sale on other platforms or websites. The head restraint accessory, which is sometimes described as a car seat head strap, a neck protection belt, a head support hugger or a nap aid/sleep holder belt, claims to prevent a child's head from falling forward or sideways if they fall asleep. However, an investigation by the CCPC's product safety team established that these products are dangerous and could cause serious injuries to a child's spine or neck during a collision or suffocation if the strap slips over the child's nose and mouth, or strangulation if the strap moves down to their neck. These products have already been recalled in Malta, Germany and Australia. While the number of products sold in Ireland is unknown, the CCPC is issuing a safety warning about the car seat head straps due to the serious risk they pose. Grainne Griffin, CCPC Director of Communications, said: "Products like this prey on a parent's basic instinct to protect their child. But instead of making a toddler safer, they put the child much more at risk. If the strap slips down over the child's face or neck, there is a serious risk of suffocation or strangulation. "CCPC sweeps have led to the removal of 100 product listings across various platforms. However, we're asking the public to remain vigilant and contact us if they see car seat head straps like these being advertised, be it online or in physical stores." Dr Katharine Harkin, Consultant in Public Health Medicine, HSE Child Health Public Health, said: "Do not place straps across your child's forehead in a car seat. They claim to prevent your child's head from falling forwards or sideways if they fall asleep. There is no evidence that these products are safe to use. "Car seats are designed to keep your child as safe as possible while travelling. The safest approach is always to use a properly fitted, appropriate car seat and do not use any additional products. The HSE's mychild.ie has more advice for parents on keeping their child safe while driving and other areas of child safety." The Road Safety Authority (RSA) does not recommend the use of devices or accessories that are purchased separately from a child's car seat. Christine Hegarty, Road Safety and Education Manager at RSA, said: "Child car seats are highly regulated and vigorously tested and are designed to perform and react in a specific way in the event of a collision. Any device that changes that process is dangerous." Car Seat Safety Advice for Consumers 1. Do not use car seat head straps as they are extremely dangerous. 2. Product add-ons or accessories for car seats should only be used when they have been tested and approved by the car seat manufacturer. 3. Using any other accessories may change the performance of the car seat or introduce other hazards during normal use.

From a newborn's first trip home to the day a teenager buckles into the driver's seat, car rides are milestones throughout childhood. Between those moments lie years of transition: rear-facing to forward-facing seats, boosters to seat belts, and countless opportunities for confusion, error and learning. This episode breaks down the latest recommendations in child passenger safety, addresses common misconceptions, and offers practical guidance pediatricians can use to help families keep children safe at every stage.  This episode was recorded on the exhibit floor of the 2025 American Academy of Pediatrics National Conference in Denver, Colorado. Meghan Beucher, MD, is an assistant professor of emergency medicine and pediatrics, as well as a trained child passenger safety technician instructor, with Hasbro Children's Hospital and the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University. Raquel Denis, MD, is an assistant professor of pediatrics at Prisma Health and the University of South Carolina, as well as a child passenger safety technician.  Some highlights from this episode include: When to switch from rear facing to forward facing seats  Why medical guidance can differ from local laws How to best support families unfamiliar with car seat safety  Why recommendations have changed in recent years For more information on Children's Colorado, visit: childrenscolorado.org.

Tonight, on The Mark White Show, we're highlighting an important effort at The Baby Place at Athens-Limestone Hospital. Director Kacey Parker and RN Whitney Springer join me to talk about their monthly Car Seat Safety Check and Installation program.

If you are a parent, grandparent, or caregiver, this is information that can make a real difference. Listen & share.

Send us a textDr. Michael Narvey, neonatologist and Vice President of Canadian Pediatric Society, challenges the validity of pre-discharge car seat testing. After leading Canadian work resulting in nationwide abandonment of the test in 2016, he argues the test doesn't represent real-world conditions (potholes, movement) and lacks evidence demonstrating it saves lives from apnea or desaturations. Based on 50 years of autopsy data, rare car seat-related deaths result from unsupervised asphyxiation when infants slide down onto straps—not from events in moving vehicles. Narvey distinguishes between eliminating the test versus maintaining essential car seat safety education, emphasizing proper positioning and avoiding unsupervised use outside vehicles. Some US centers are reconsidering this practice. Support the showAs always, feel free to send us questions, comments, or suggestions to our email: nicupodcast@gmail.com.

From the best & worst baby products on the market, to what really matters when choosing a car seat (hint: price ≠ safety), Jamie breaks down the myths, confusion, and overwhelm that every parent faces when trying to keep their baby safe.

Named after the back seat of his family's car where he recorded the vocals to his early albums, Will Toledo's solo-project-cum-band Car Seat Headrest went from Bandcamp indie-darlings to headlining Coachella in a relatively short time. This week's guest, musician/songwriter Brendan Wright (Tiberius), brings us CSH's transitional 2014 release - and final one before signing to Matador - 'How To Leave Town'. Brimming with both existential doubt and unbridled wanderlust, the record works as a dark, witty soundtrack to coming-of-age in the 2010's. Songs discussed in this episode: Running Up That Hill (Kate Bush cover) - Car Seat Headrest; Sag - Tiberius; Cherries - Tiberius Wright; Fill In The Blank, Not What I Needed - Car Seat Headrest; Dramamine - Modest Mouse; The Ending Of Dramamine - Car Seat Headrest; Bus Ride - Naked Days; Beast Monster Thing, Tybee Island Horse Ghosts, Kimochi Warui (When? When? When? When? When? When? When?) - Car Seat Headrest; Big Business Monkey - Daniel Johnston; I-94 W (832 Mi), You're In Love With Me, America (Never Been) - Car Seat Headrest; Felt - Tiberius; I Want You to Know That I'm Awake / I Hope That You're Asleep, Is This Dust Really from the Titanic?, Hey, Space Cadet (Beast Monster Thing in Space) - Car Seat Headrest; Over The Neptune/Mesh Gear Fox - Guided By Voices; The Catastrophe (Good Luck With That, Man) - Car Seat Headrest; Painting Of A Tree - Tiberius

Car seat safety is one of those topics that feels overwhelming…so many straps, rules, and confusing instructions and yet it's one of the most important things we do as parents. In this episode, I sit down with my longtime friend and child passenger safety technician, Michelle Pratt from Safe in the Seat, to talk about the most common car seat mistakes parents make and how to fix them. We both share our own missteps (yes, even as a pediatrician and as a safety expert!) and the lessons that changed how we buckle our kids in. We cover: Why “winging it” with installation is risky, and how to practice before you leave the hospital Chest clip placement, shoulder strap positioning, and the “one-inch rule” every parent should know Rear-facing myths, what age to turn forward, and why “rear until 2” isn't the full story The truth about aftermarket products (like those head straps) and why they can be dangerousHow to empower kids to notice and speak up about their own car seat safety To connect with Michelle Pratt check out all her resources at https://www.safeintheseat.com/.  Follow her on Instagram at @safeintheseat.  Car Seat Finder Tool: https://www.safeintheseat.com/find-your-best-car-seat Safe to Switch: https://courses.safeintheseat.com/offers/uufJeUvJ/checkout We'd like to know who is listening!

Will Toledo, vocalist for Seattle-based Car Seat Headrest, wanted the band’s latest release to be a concept album in the tradition of a rock opera. The Scholars delivers just that: strong storytelling within each of its nine tracks, inventing characters in a “fictional America,” attesting to the human search for meaning inside and outside of ourselves. Toledo stopped by KEXP earlier this year to speak with Midday Host Cheryl Waters. He opens up about going back on tour after suffering from the effects of long COVID and the album's collaborative songwriting process. “There’s only so much you can say about yourself before it stops getting interesting,” Toledo says in the interview. “Having this concept of characters helped a lot. It’s me giving a sincere portrait of someone I can relate to rather than it being me.” Car Seat Headrest is one of the headlining bands at Bumbershoot 2025, taking place August 30 and 31 at Seattle Center.
