Just before 11:00 p.m. on August 1, 2018, authorities in Griffin, Georgia, were called to a home on the 800 block of Sunnybrook Drive. Twenty-three-year-old Steven Freeman had been shot, and Mary Katherine Higdon, who lived in the house with Steven, admitted that she was the one who shot him. Join Mike and Morf as they discuss Mary Katherine Higdon and the shooting death of Steven Freeman. At first, Mary Katherine claimed the shooting was accidental and the gun had gone off as she was handing it to Steven. Later, her story would evolve into one of self-defense.

Criminology Turned Crime Did Kohberger Want To Teach About His Own Crime Someday Could Bryan Kohberger be telling the truth—or is he orchestrating one of the boldest courtroom manipulations we've seen in years? In this must-watch episode, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke breaks down Kohberger's behavior following the stunning introduction of an “alternate suspect” by his defense team just weeks before trial. We explore what it means when someone shifts the narrative this late in the game. Is this a psychological tactic designed to introduce confusion and reasonable doubt? Robin weighs in on everything from body language, deception cues, emotional control, and the weaponization of silence in a courtroom setting. As Kohberger's team fights to keep graphic evidence out and his family in the room, we ask: what behaviors suggest genuine innocence, and which point to manipulation? Robin's analysis offers a rare inside look at how trained profilers decode lies, shame, and guilt—all without a single word spoken. If you're following the Idaho murders case, this episode is essential viewing. We're not just reviewing evidence—we're dissecting human behavior in the courtroom under a microscope. #BryanKohberger #BehavioralAnalysis #RobinDreeke #TrueCrimePodcast #Idaho4 Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Have you ever noticed that in areas of everyday life, rather than being addressed like a mature adult, you're increasingly treated like an irresponsible child in constant need of instruction and protection? Noticing society's creeping descent into infantilisation is one thing, however understanding the roots and causes of the phenomenon is not quite so easy. But in this topical and vitally important new work, cultural theorist and academic, Dr Keith Hayward, exposes the deep social, psychological and political dangers of a world characterised by denuded adult autonomy. But importantly Infantilised is no one-dimensional, unsympathetic critique. Brimming with anecdotes and examples that span everything from the normalisation of infantilism on reality TV to the rise of a new class of political 'infantocrat', Infantilised: How Our Culture Killed Adulthood (Constable & Robinson, 2025) also offers an insightful and at times humorous account of infantilism's seductive appeal, and details some suggestions for avoiding some of the pitfalls associated with our increasingly infantilised world.

At age 39, Francesca Montillo had a thriving healthcare career at a prestigious Boston hospital—but her heart was in Italy, dreaming of pasta, wine, and sun-soaked adventures. In this episode, she shares how she slowly and strategically built a food and travel business on the side, eventually trading her secure 9-to-5 for a life she once thought was too good to be true. From pandemic pivots to cultural expectations and midlife realizations, Francesca's story is a masterclass in following your gut, even when it takes 20 years to listen. If you've ever wondered what might be waiting on the other side of “what if,” this conversation is for you.Guest Bio Francesca Montillo grew up in Italy until the age of 11, upon which time she moved to Boston with her family. She spent every summer after the move back in Calabria, enjoying time at the beach, local markets and spending time with childhood friends. It was during her trips back that her love for Italy grew even more intensely. Her initial career ambitions were to work in law enforcement and she holds a Bachelor's degree in Criminology and Law. After a short stint in the field, she went on to earn a Masters in Healthcare Management instead. After a successful 22+ year career in healthcare management for both private and governmental sectors, Francesca reinvented herself again and took the leap and started her own business, combining her love of Italian travels and cooking. Via her business, Lazy Italian Culinary Adventures, Francesca is able to showcase her native land and its cuisine. Francesca has also written three Amazon bestselling cooking books focusing on Italian dishes.Turning 40 and turning pasta into a paycheckFrancesca Montillo was living the dream—on paper. With a master's degree in healthcare administration and a thriving job at a Harvard-affiliated hospital, she had what many would call a “great job.” But deep down, Francesca knew it wasn't her dream. At 39, just shy of her milestone 40th birthday, she quietly began building a very different life—one steeped in Italian cuisine, rolling Tuscan hills, and the freedom of self-employment. Today, she leads delicious culinary adventures in Italy and has turned her side hustle into a full-blown business and lifestyle. In this episode, Francesca shares how she slowly and strategically transitioned from a traditional career to creating Lazy Italian Culinary Adventures, proving that it's never too late to design a life you love.Episode Highlights:How Francesca's childhood in Calabria and Boston shaped her love for Italian food and culture.The early whispers of entrepreneurship—and why it took nearly 20 years to act on them.The delicate balance of building a business while holding down a demanding 9-to-5.How COVID nearly derailed her dream—and how she pivoted to Zoom cooking classes and writing cookbooks.What finally pushed her to walk away from a safe, successful career in healthcare.The cultural tug-of-war between traditional expectations and personal fulfillment.Why midlife was the perfect time for Francesca to bet on herself—and what she'd tell others standing at the same crossroads.This conversation is a reminder that the path to your dream life might not be a straight line—and that's okay. Francesca's story shows us the power of patience, planning, and trusting your gut—even if it takes two decades to do something about it. If you've ever thought “someday” could be “today,” this is the inspiration you've been waiting for.If you enjoyed this episode, don't forget to rate, follow, and review The Big Four Oh Podcast. It helps more people find us—and find the courage to make their own big midlife moves.Guest ResourcesConnect with...

The International Criminal Court was founded to prosecute the world's worst crimes—genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. It has secured historic convictions, but its effectiveness is under scrutiny.US opposition has been a long-standing challenge. Donald Trump previously rejected the ICC's legitimacy, and now, early in his second presidential term, he has imposed sanctions on its top prosecutor. The move echoes past tensions but raises new concerns about the court's ability to function under external pressure.The ICC also relies on member states to arrest and transfer suspects. A recent case in Italy has highlighted the court's enforcement difficulties, as Italian authorities deported a Libyan suspect instead of extraditing him to The Hague. Such incidents fuel questions about the ICC's global authority.Despite its high-profile cases, the court has only secured 11 convictions in 23 years. Its slow trials and high costs have drawn criticism, leading some to question whether reform—or even an alternative—is needed. But with 125 member states still backing its mission, is the ICC an institution the world can afford to lose?Contributors: Dr Vivian Dietrich, Deputy Director of the International Nuremberg Principals Academy in Germany Gerry Simpson, Professor of International Law at the London School of Economics in the UK  Rachel Kerr, Professor of War and Society at King's College London in the UK  Mark Kirsten, Assistant Professor of Criminal Justice and Criminology at the University of the Fraser Valley in British Columbia, CanadaPresented by Charmaine Cozier Produced by Louise Clarke and Bara'atu Ibrahim Editor Tara McDermott Technical Producer Toby James Production co-ordinator Liam Morrey

When Kathryn Wombacher suspected her husband, Walter Andrew, of having an affair in the spring of 1920, she hired a private detective to follow him on one of his many “out-of-town” trips that he'd taken in their short marriage. However, rather than follow Walter out of town, the private detective tracked the man less than a mile from his home in Hollywood, where he discovered that Walter had indeed been carrying on a relationship with another woman—but that was to be the least of Kathryn's worries.Thank you to the Incredible Dave White of Bring Me the Axe Podcast for research and Writing support!ReferencesAssociated Press. 1920.
