Quaker preacher John Woolman once experienced a vision of slaves producing the very goods he used in his daily life, and the weight of that revelation changed the way he lived. Reading his words prompts the same uncomfortable pause: where does the food we buy come from? The clothes we wear? The furniture in our homes? When that question is pursued honestly, what emerges is often fury, because much of what is available to us cheaply has been produced through inhumane conditions, forced labor, and the exploitation of children. The anger that rises in response to that reality is not wrong. It is appropriate. It is a sign that something in us still recognizes that the world should not be this way. David experienced that same kind of anger in Psalm 52, written in response to the murder of the priests at Nob. Saul ordered their execution because one of them had helped David, and Doeg the Edomite carried out the massacre. David's grief and fury were real and raw. And yet Psalm 52 does not end with a call for revenge. It ends with David entrusting justice to God, trusting in His unfailing love, and anchoring himself in the character of the One who judges righteously. That is the movement this episode invites us into. Anger at injustice — racism, forced labor, exploitation, displacement, hunger — is not something to suppress or spiritualize away. It is something to bring honestly to God, who is the righteous Judge and whose own anger at evil dwarfs our own. He will make all things right. Until that day, we are called to walk in justice and mercy, holding our anger before Him and trusting His perfect timing. Today's Bible Verse "But I am like an olive tree, thriving in the house of God. I will always trust in God's unfailing love."— Psalm 52:8, NLT Ponder Today Anger at injustice is not a sin — it is a sign that we still know things should not be this way. The appropriate response to human rights violations, exploitation, and oppression is grief and fury. God does not ask us to suppress those feelings. He invites us to bring them to Him. David expressed anger to God without taking personal vengeance. Psalm 52 is a powerful example of bringing raw emotion before the Lord while still entrusting justice to Him. Honest expression and faith in God's judgment are not opposites — they belong together. Injustice is not a distant issue — it touches our everyday lives. The clothes we wear, the food we buy, the products we use cheaply may carry a hidden cost paid by exploited workers and children. Awareness is the beginning of responsible, faithful stewardship. Vengeance belongs to God — and His justice is perfect. We can rest in the knowledge that the righteous Judge sees every act of wickedness and will avenge it in His timing and according to His perfect judgment. That is not a passive response. It is a profoundly trusting one. Until the day He returns to make all things right, we are called to walk in justice and mercy. Anger offered to God should produce action, advocacy, and changed habits — not bitterness or despair. Let it fuel a more intentional pursuit of justice in the spaces where we actually have influence. A Prayer for You Today O God of all justice, I bring to You today my intense anger and grief over the wrongs in the world — children forced into slave labor, individuals deceived into inhumane working conditions, and the painful reality that many items available for me to purchase were produced through exploitation. Lord, there are so many other acts of injustice in the world: racism, people displaced from their homes, individuals going without food, girls and women exploited because of who they are. These realities fill me with a restlessness that echoes what I know to be true: it should not be this way. But I trust in You, for You are just and good. Vengeance belongs to You, and You will avenge in Your timing and according to Your perfect judgment. Help me to walk in justice and mercy until the day You return to make all things right. In Jesus' name, Amen. Want More? Sign up for our free newsletter, The Good Word, for weekly biblical wisdom and encouragement delivered right to your inbox.

The conversation turns to a hard truth: nobody is doing anything to stop him. Hawk points to Donald Trump's second term, the harm being done to others on purpose, and the fear that Trump and Republicans will interfere with the midterm elections. He calls out the Supreme Court for gutting the Voting Rights Act in the South and names it the most racist court of his lifetime, arguing that American institutions have failed and worse is coming. Woven through it all is a national sense of grief. This week the country lost Dolly Parton, Tim Curry, and Peter Cullen, the voice of Optimus Prime, bright presences who shaped decades of culture. Hawk closes on gratitude, his home, his dogs, and getting to play music with friends at 58, even with a busted knee.

It's been nearly 20 years since Curtis Severns was sentenced to 27 years in federal prison. Convicted of intentionally starting the fire in his gun shop, he would have 7 years left on his sentence, had he not been released early. Severns has maintained his innocence all along. As in many arson cases, he was convicted almost exclusively by the testimony of fire investigators who relied on assumptions that some of the leading arson experts in the country now say are false. In fact, new evidence reveals that Severns did time for a crime he probably didn't commit.

In this episode of the Sumud Podcast, we sit down with Eman Mabrouk for a powerful conversation about injustice, identity, humanitarian work, anti-Blackness, and the responsibility to speak up. Eman shares her experience fighting for hijab rights, witnessing the treatment of African migrant women, and confronting the racism, exploitation, and silence she encountered across the region. She also discusses how these experiences shaped her understanding of advocacy and solidarity. The conversation explores the kafala system, the treatment of migrant workers, the humanitarian crises affecting vulnerable communities, and the importance of looking beyond the issues most visible to the public. Eman also explains her work with the Rammun Foundation, how to responsibly vet humanitarian organizations, and why real change requires organizing, accountability, and solidarity across communities. Eman Mabrouk, formerly known as Eman B. Fendi has built her career around one instinct: taking care of people. First through fashion. Now through humanitarian relief. Mabrouk built her styling career, working shows, athletes, and influencers, while simultaneously pursuing her degrees in neuropsychology. The two ran in parallel: a passion for people and a background in the mind shaping how she worked with clients, on set and off. Her talent for styling the body was matched by an ethos for styling the mind. Today Mabrouk leads Rammun Foundation, a humanitarian nonprofit delivering relief across Gaza, Sudan, and Egypt. She also runs Amaanah & Co, a strategic creative consultancy, and Collective Souk, a community and product platform.Three ventures. One throughline: seeing people, and showing up for them. In this conversation, we explore → Eman's experience with arrest, discrimination, and the fight for hijab rights → How a painful experience at 19 became a case that helped protect other Muslim women → Eman's experiences witnessing the treatment of African migrant women and racial hierarchies → The kafala system, exploitation of migrant workers, and vulnerability during times of conflict → The culture of denial surrounding injustice and the need for humanitarian accountability → Eman's work with the Rammun Foundation, humanitarian relief, and responsible giving → Why meaningful solidarity requires organizing, building coalitions, and taking action Sponsored by The Karate Attorney (@karateattorney) fighting for justice inside and outside the courtroom.

What happens when a physician begins to see that healing can involve more than the physical and emotional—but also the spiritual? In this powerful conversation, Reagan welcomes Dr. Troy Spurrill back to the Revelations Podcast to share the extraordinary story of his stepdaughter Jade and her journey from severe trauma, addiction, bondage, and overwhelming voices to freedom and a completely transformed life. Dr. Troy describes how Jade's family prayed for her for years, how she eventually encountered deliverance ministry, her encounter with Heaven and what happened when she finally experienced a breakthrough. Afterward, Jade told her family, “I'm free!” and said she no longer heard the voices that had tormented her. Dr. Troy shares how that experience ultimately led Jade and other members of her family into ministry and helping others find freedom. The conversation then expands into the spiritual side of healing, the authority believers have through Christ, the importance of obedience, prayer, Scripture, praise and worship, and why Dr. Troy believes the healthcare community is beginning to ask deeper questions about spiritual healing. Dr. Troy also shares the story of Jade's sister Danielle, whose own deliverance became another part of this remarkable chain reaction of restoration. Her story eventually led to her helping others struggling with addiction and brokenness. They discuss why forgiveness and repentance are essential to freedom, how trauma and injustice can leave people wounded, and why even highly successful and intellectual people may need inner healing and spiritual freedom. This is a conversation about deliverance, spiritual warfare, healing, trauma, addiction, forgiveness, obedience, faith, and the restoring power of God.

DOCKET ALERTS: The Kennedy Center board of trustees is back on its BS. After being ordered to take Trump's name off the side of the building, they've now voted again to put it back on. They also voted to close the facility for two years. Rep. Joyce Beatty, who brought the lawsuit that forced them to back off the first time, vows to fight on. Meanwhile musician Chuck Redd was just awarded $252,000 in attorneys fees after the Center sued him for breaching a contract he never signed. Judge Roy Altman is Aileen Cannon-balling it up in Trump's trollsuit against the BBC. This week he allowed Trump to amend his complaint yet again for "good cause." What good cause could there be to sue a company which never broadcast the supposedly defamatory documentary in the US? MAIN SHOW: The Washington Post reports that Jeanine Pirro, the US Attorney for DC, has empaneled a special grand jury. Corruption incoming! The DOJ has amended the indictment of the SPLC again. This time they've added a former employee who ran its Intelligence Project and managed its paid informants. The case is no less preposterous with an extra defendant and a couple more charges. The Ninth Circuit issued a hugely consequential ruling on Section 230 immunity for websites, and Liz and Andrew do not agree at all about it.

From unvetted science to coerced confessions, catastrophic failures in Australia's justice system have stolen decades from innocent people for crimes they didn't commit. In this episode Xanthe and Tim sit down with Walkley Award-winning investigative journalist Neil Mercer to discuss his new book, Falsely Convicted. Mercer details how the Australian criminal justice system has catastrophically failed innocent people through police misconduct, prosecutorial oversights and unvetted expert testimony.Their conversation highlights heartbreaking real-world cases, including a former teacher jailed on biologically impossible abuse claims and a man who served 20 years for murder based on the testimony of an unqualified pathologist. They also examine the tragic case of Gene Gibson - a cognitively impaired Indigenous man coerced into a confession without an interpreter - underscoring the immense barriers vulnerable suspects face. Neil Mercer gives a sobering insight into the devastating personal toll of wrongful convictions and the extraordinary effort required to overturn them.

If you've been tuned into the news around the Scottish grassroots music scene at any point in the last few weeks, you'll likely have seen there's been a bit of controversy brewing around King Tut's Wah Wah Hut in Glasgow and their owners, DF Concerts.Following a piece published in The Bell, where numerous people spoke out about the poor terms that King Tut's offers to emerging artists, various corners of social media were ablaze with righteous fury. It prompted DF to threaten to take The Bell to court, and also saw The Herald get in on the action. So we think it's fair to say that this is a blaze that might be threatening to run amok.The terms that King Tut's offers has been something of a known issue in the Scottish music community for a number of years, and whilst there are certainly reasons for small artists to be aggrieved (reasons which we share), the matter is not quite as clear cut as The Bell article would have you think.On this week's episode we draw from our own experiences as musicians and promoters to try to give a more complete picture of the issue. We also do a wee exercise where we map out whether putting on gigs yourself is more cost effective, using examples of the rates offered by many venues in Glasgow to paint a picture of what the costs of running a show yourself actually are.Which ultimately leads us to ask a few questions: is what King Tut's offer fair? Is it just better to put on gigs yourself? And if King Tut's parent company, DF Concerts, used their corporate backing to pay artists more, what might be the outcome of that on the wider grassroots scene as a whole?If you like this episode please consider subscribing to our Patreon at www.patreon.com/unsungpod

Progressives win the Michigan primary. It's time for "moderate" Dems to practice what they preach: Vote blue no matter who! State crimes by the Dept of Injustice, ICE, The White House, all with Repugnant complicity. The list of impeachable offenses grows daily. www.charlesbursell.com
Our country needs healing, and it starts with bringing healing to your workplace. Frederick Buechner said, "Pay attention to the things that bring a tear to your eye or a lump in your throat because they are signs that the Holy is drawing near." What injustice in your community brings you to tears? Homelessness, poverty, joblessness, sexual exploitation? What can you do about it? God provided you with a job and an income. What is that income for? For providing for your family and for bringing healing to your community. God asks that you consider 10% of your income for ministering to the needs of the lost and broken. Sometimes those lost and broken are right next to you at work. Remember, Jesus is a healer, and since we follow Jesus, we are healers too.
On this episode of the Hayek Program Podcast, Peter Boettke sits down with Kristen Collins for a wide-ranging conversation on Adam Smith's moral philosophy and its intersection with theories of justice, sympathy, and political power. The conversation moves through the relationship between sympathy, moral imagination, and the origins of our sense of justice, drawing on Michelle Schwarze's work on sympathetic resentment, before turning to why economists have historically misread Smith as indifferent to the poor and powerless — despite Smith's own repeated siding with the weak against the powerful. Boettke and Collins also explore Smith's "man of system" passages as a caution against imposing utopian visions by force, discuss Judith Shklar's "liberalism of fear" in relation to Hayek, and close with an extended look at Collins's research on Jeremy Bentham's little-known Sotomion — a proposed institution designed to protect unmarried pregnant women from social shame while preserving their social connections, offering a striking counterpoint to Bentham's more famous Panopticon.Dr. Kristen Collins is a Senior Fellow with the F.A. Hayek Program for Advanced Study in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics and a Senior Research Fellow at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University.

On Everyday Injustice Episode 336, host David Greenwald speaks with Valena Beety, a nationally recognized wrongful convictions litigator, former federal prosecutor and law professor, about how stereotypes surrounding gender and sexuality can contribute to innocent people being convicted and imprisoned. Beety, who has spent roughly 15 years representing people challenging wrongful convictions, explains how her own experience as a prosecutor led her to question whether the criminal legal system consistently protects victims, survivors or public safety. Beety focuses on the intersection between wrongful convictions and the criminalization of women and LGBTQ+ people. She argues that prosecutors can exploit longstanding stereotypes portraying queer people as dangerous, deceptive or deviant, particularly when those assumptions are combined with faulty forensic evidence or tunnel vision about who committed a crime. Beety points to cases in which women and queer defendants were prosecuted even when she argues no underlying crime occurred, illustrating how identity can become part of the prosecution's theory of guilt. The conversation also explores Beety's new book, “Pink Crime: Fighting Against the Criminalization of Motherhood, Pregnancy, and Queer Identity,” which examines what she describes as an accelerating criminalization of women and queer people following the Supreme Court's reversal of Roe v. Wade. Beety discusses women investigated following miscarriages, stillbirths or suspected abortions, along with the treatment of pregnant women behind bars and transgender people in prison. She describes inadequate medical care for incarcerated pregnant women, women giving birth without timely assistance and transgender prisoners being placed in prolonged segregation rather than housed in environments appropriate to their circumstances. Beety also discusses cases involving discredited forensic evidence, including bite-mark testimony, and her earlier book, “Manifesting Justice: Wrongly Convicted Women Reclaim Their Rights.” Throughout the conversation, she emphasizes that proving innocence does not necessarily mean someone will quickly — or ever — leave prison, noting that reversing an existing conviction can be substantially more difficult than obtaining one. Despite those barriers, Beety ends on a measure of optimism, arguing that recognizing how women, pregnant people and LGBTQ+ people can be targeted through stereotypes may create common ground for challenging wrongful convictions and broader abuses within the criminal legal system.

Parliament was asked this week to help tens of thousands of young adults get access to their own money. It is sitting in the state-backed Child Trust Funds set up more than 15 years ago with contributions from the government, parents and other relatives. However, because these young people have learning disabilities the legal process for getting hold of their own money can cost more than the couple of thousand pounds typically in their fund. What happens next?New figures reveal that in a single year half a million people said 'no thanks' to joining a workplace pension. Like everyone taking up a new job they were automatically enrolled into a pension, but they opted out before it even began. How might that impact their future?Capita has missed the deadline to return services to normal for civil servants facing long delays in getting their pensions sorted. And, a major change to the Lifetime ISA could see it replaced with a new product designed solely for First Time Buyers.

Our hosts return to the Podtower to watch and review Injustice For All Part 2. Alex and Will find that part 2 is not as good as part 1, however it features some great Batman moments as he quickly manipulates and plays the Injustice Gang against each other. But, maybe using bribery with Ultra Humanite was a step too far - it is a crime after all! Our hosts also discover that Solomon Grundy needs money for a line of skin care products that he's starting up with his Spanish cousin, Andale Grande. Plus, Batman can't help but put the moves on another cat lady, the entrance to the Watchtower is just a garage door clicker, and Martian Manhunter forces Batman to listen to his life story telepathically.BECOME A PATREON OR YOUTUBE MEMBER TODAY AND UNLOCK EXCLUSIVE CONTENT YOU WON'T FIND ANYWHERE ELSE!

Poser des limites est l'un des plus grands défis des femmes leaders. Dans cet épisode du podcast Sensées, Jenny Chammas, mastercoach certifiée et fondatrice de Coachappy, met des mots sur une posture très répandue : celle de la “bonne poire”. Cette tendance à faire passer les besoins des autres avant les siens, à éviter l'inconfort, à prendre sur soi pour que tout le monde aille bien. À travers cet épisode, vous allez comprendre pourquoi ne pas poser des limites vous coûte cher - en énergie, en reconnaissance, en argent et en impact - et comment changer de posture sans renier qui vous êtes.Être une leader “bonne poire”, c'est souvent assurer partout : au travail, à la maison, émotionnellement pour les autres. C'est ne pas dire les choses, ne pas faire les feedbacks nécessaires, accepter des retards, des débordements, des responsabilités qui ne sont pas les vôtres. C'est aussi porter la charge émotionnelle de son équipe, de sa famille, de son entourage, jusqu'à s'oublier soi-même. Jenny montre comment cette incapacité à poser des limites mène progressivement à l'épuisement, à la perte de sens et à une baisse de l'estime de soi.Dans cet épisode, vous explorez aussi l'autre posture possible : celle de la leader “bad ass”. Une leader qui reste empathique, mais qui ne se sacrifie plus. Une leader qui sait poser des limites, affirmer ses besoins, valoriser son travail et assumer ses choix sans culpabilité. Contrairement aux idées reçues, cette posture ne rend ni dure ni froide : elle permet au contraire d'exercer un leadership plus juste, plus clair et plus durable.Ce que vous saurez faire après écoute :– Identifier les situations où vous avez du mal à poser des limites.– Comprendre le lien entre people pleasing, culpabilité et manque d'estime de soi.– Mesurer le coût réel de la posture de “bonne poire” dans votre vie professionnelle et personnelle.– Développer une posture plus affirmée sans perdre votre empathie.– Faire de vos besoins une boussole légitime dans vos décisions de leader.Jenny partage également des réflexions clés sur la responsabilité émotionnelle, la peur de déplaire et l'importance de cultiver une estime de soi solide pour sortir des schémas de suradaptation. Cet épisode est une invitation à arrêter de ramasser les miettes et à prendre pleinement votre place - au travail, à la maison et dans votre vie.

1. As part of Tim's sermon today, he talked about Walter Brueggemann's concept of the royal consciousness — an ideological capture that comes from prosperity. He named three features of it. First: numbness. Brueggemann said that when a person or community achieves a certain level of comfort — with all their basic needs met — something starts to happen to their imagination. Gradually, they start to focus on what's next (& then next after that, and next after that, and next after that, etc). And then slowly, the suffering of those at the bottom becomes tough to really see and to feel. Tim said, “The cries of the exploited are still there — they're just harder to hear over the ambient noise of the all-out pursuit of what's next.” Injustice requires a certain level of numbness in order to persist. It's not a byproduct of the system; it's a feature. Because, if those at the top could actually feel what those at the bottom feel, the pyramid that is the ideology would never hold. What do you think about this idea? Do you think that if “those at the top” could really hear and feel what those at the bottom experience, the system would fall apart? why or why not? When you consider this idea, do you identify more with those at the top or with those at the bottom? Why? To what extent can you see yourself in this idea of someone who is numb to the suffering of those at the bottom? 2. The second feature of the royal consciousness is static religion. Tim said that when the disruptive presence of God — the prophetic — becomes a force that's used to legitimize the status quo rather than calling the powerful to account, you're seeing this concept play out. In this paradigm, religion defends the status quo. Injustice ends up with the full weight of religious conviction behind it, and the powerful are justified by religion. Tim pointed out that this Type of religion doesn't require bad intentions or a lack of sincere devotion, only a certain level of comfort. Where can you see your own experience in this idea of static religion — are you tempted to be drawn into this way of thinking, or is it something you've been a part of in the past? How hard is it to find the ways you might participate in this form of ideological capture? How uncomfortable does it feel to look for them? How important is the idea of a God who challenges the powerful important to your concept of God? How much do you think it impacts and influences the way you live out your faith day to day? 3. The final feature of Royal consciousness is oppressive social order. A important piece in this concept is that royal consciousness' oppression doesn't say, “hey, I'm an ideology” — instead, it presents itself as the facts of life. It says, “this is how the world is — it's always been that way, it always will be.” How does this message or idea resonate for you right now, in the midst of the climate we live in these days — politically, socially, in terms of justice, both local and global and everywhere in between? As you look at all of these three features together, particularly within the framework of prosperity as their origin, what surfaces for you? If you can see yourself that way, how does it feel to examine yourself as one of the prosperous people in the paradigm? Do you feel moved to any specific kind of response? What might it look like to respond with action as prophetic resistance?
Injustice and unfairness are inevitable parts of life. When facing these trials, what truth can we firmly hold onto? Is waiting for divine justice our only option, or is there a deeper peace available to us right now? In week three of our Selah series, we dive into Psalm 139 to discover powerful, biblical wisdom for navigating life's injustices.
Being in God's presence changes your perspective. Worship allows us to see reality correctly.

Pamela Colloff is an accomplished investigative journalist and has written "Catch the Devil" about a frighteningly prolific jailhouse snitch. Paul Skalnik testified in dozens of cases that inmates in Florida prisons had confessed their guilt to him. Often prosecutors won convictions based largely on Skalnik's testimony including four cases where he was instrumental on putting men on Florida's death row. One of them, Jim Dailey, was convicted of murdering a 14 year old girl. Despite evidence that has come out since Dailey's conviction, he sits on Florida's death row. He has been there over 40 years unable to get a new trial. Colloff repeatedly met Skalnik who said he would tell her the truth about all his testimonies. He never did. But Colloff has reported the story in brilliant detail and writes about how often prosecutors use jailhouse snitches knowing their testimony may be tainted. Skalnik's repeated claims of jailhouse confessions defied credulity... so why did prosecutors continue to put him on the stand? Why didn't judges disallow his testimony? Why did appellate courts accept his word? It's a compelling story - worth a reader's time.

Warner Bros announces a DC fighting game for mobile which puts into question if Injustice 3 is happening or not. Lastly, its revealed that only 7 Playstation games have sold over 100,000 copies so far this year, though we argue it's devoid of context and comparison. #xbox #gamepass #bethesda #elderscrolls #fallout #wb #dc #injustice #playstation #ps6 #videogames #allyoucangeek #aycg #podcast

Alex and Will break down the debut of this iconic supervillain team, discuss which Justice League member serves as each villain's greatest nemesis, and discover that many of these rogues have comic book origins stretching all the way back to the 1940s.Our hosts also wonder if some of the JL team even know who these bad guys are, since most of them are kinda lame. Did Copperhead fall into a vat of snakes? Did Cheetah fall into a vat of cheetahs? Does The Shade just throw shade and backhanded compliments? And is Solomon Grundy's diary suddenly fully booked due to being the most popular? Alex and Will also debate if Martian Manhunter should become the new host of Punk'd, wonder if Lex Luthor is suffering from a bad case of the "Kryptoshites," question what FaceTime is used for in prison, and watch Batman gain a new set of parents in the form of Superman and Martian Manhunter.BECOME A PATREON OR YOUTUBE MEMBER TODAY AND UNLOCK EXCLUSIVE CONTENT YOU WON'T FIND ANYWHERE ELSE!

"I feel like before I have the confidence to write in the way that I want to write, where I really own the material, I have to spend so much time with people. I will say at the outset, once I walk someone through what it's going to involve after they say yes to talking to me, I'll say I'm going to be around a lot and you're going to get sick of me," says Pamela Colloff, author of Catch the Devil.Today's guest, I mean, wow, from the bottom of the diaphragm up, wow. It's Pamela Colloff. You know her from her National Magazine Award winning work for Texas Monthly and ProPublica/The New York Times Magazine. She's THE premier investigative reporter in the country and she's now the author of Catch the Devil: A True Story of Murder, Deception, and Injustice on the Gulf Coast. It's published by Knopf.This book upends what you think a true crime story is about where the true villain isn't a person at all. It chronicles, among others, Paul Skalnik, a jailhouse snitch, whose non-credible testimony places numerous men on death row, Jim Dailey, in particular, and Pamela takes us through this riveting narrative and punishing commentary on capital punishment and why Florida seems hellbent on being No. 1 in executions.Here's just a slice of what Pam is about: She is a two-time National Magazine Award winner, once for reporting and once for feature writing. Her work has been adapted for narrative and documentary films including Tower, which was short-listed in 2016 for an Oscar. Her work has been anthologized in Best American Magazine Writing, Best American Crime Reporting, and Next Wave: America's New Generation of Great Literary Journalists. She joined ProPublica/The New York Times Magazine in 2017 after many years at Texas Monthly. Listen, I could go on. You get the gist.In this episode, we talk about: What drew her to Tom Wolfe and Hunter S. Thompson Speaking with Tom Junod The Boys Club of longform writing Her start at Texas Monthly Being a journalism dork The elation and despair How every story is a Rubix cube The Skip Hollandsworth Method Owning the material Knowing when to quote and when not to Idea generation Writing is hard How magazine writing and book writing are different animals Why Catch the Devil is her now-or-never moment Beginnings are the worst Being more disciplined with a book vs. magazine writing Writing in this attention economyPair this episode with Ep. 255 with Maddy Crowell and Ep. 414 with John Rosengren, and many other Atavist true crimey pods, too many to mention here. I'd also chuck in Ep. 224 with Patrick Radden Keefe. He'll be back on the show for the paperback run of London Calling.
Justin Baldoni hadn't said a public word in almost two years. Then last week he propped up a phone, sat down next to his wife Emily, and posted a video to his own Instagram — no publicist, no People magazine. I told NBC News the most strategic thing about the video is how unstrategic it looked, and in this episode I show you the receipts.I walk through every move the way I teach my own clients: the owned-channel play (stop fighting Meta's algorithm — bring the crisis to your channel), the optics of the couch and the army-green T-shirt, the family deployment (why Emily delivered the hardest lines, and why Blake Lively's version of that move — deploying Taylor Swift — backfired), the one-word message of gratitude, and the timing window that opened the moment the Taylor Swift wedding coverage cooled. Then my partner Muck Rack and I ran the numbers: 623 articles in four days, 60.7% positive sentiment, only 7.2% negative, and a word cloud that finally puts Justin Baldoni's name in the center of the story instead of Blake Lively's.You'll also hear the other side of the NBC 'Heartfelt or Creepy' headline — the crisis consultant (a onetime Harvey Weinstein rep) who called the video creepy and pointless — and why I disagree: Baldoni is in reputation repair, he needs to be hireable again, and in this game you need to have the last word.Chapters:0:00 No publicist, no People magazine — the whole move2:40 Two years of Baldoni v.

Paul Skalnik was a cop turned con artist turned jailhouse informant. Over two decades, he provided testimony or information in more than 40 criminal cases, trading confessions he claimed to have overheard for reduced sentences and early release. Prosecutors in Florida's Pinellas County knew what he was. They used him anyway. Four of the men he testified against were sent to death row. At least one of them, Jim Dailey, is almost certainly innocent — and after more than 30 years, he's still there.Journalist Pam Colloff spent 20 years at Texas Monthly before joining ProPublica and the New York Times Magazine, where her investigation into Skalnik won the National Magazine Award and helped halt an execution. In this episode, Pam tells the story of a con man who married nine women, posed as an oilman, a lawyer, and an FBI agent — and discovered that his most profitable scam was the criminal justice system itself.Pam Colloff's new book is "Catch the Devil: A True Story of Murder, Deception, and Injustice on the Gulf Coast" https://www.amazon.com/dp/0593230868?lv=shuf&channelId=500&plpRedirect=mhFallbackSubscribe to our newsletter: https://jedlipinski.substack.com/ Connect with Jed Lipinski:https://www.instagram.com/gonesouthpodcast/https://www.facebook.com/groups/gonesouthpodcast/https://www.linkedin.com/in/jed-lipinski/

Pamela Colloff, reporter for ProPublica and the New York Times Magazine, joins the show to discuss her debut book, Catch the Devil: A True Story of Murder, Deception, and Injustice on the Gulf Coast (Knopf). The book examines Paul Skalnik, a con man and jailhouse informant whose testimony helped convict dozens of people, including James Dailey, a Vietnam veteran sent to death row for a 1985 murder despite the absence of physical evidence against him.
