The Marshall family seemed to have it all—wealth, status, and a picture-perfect life in Toms River, New Jersey. But on Thursday, September 7, 1984, tragedy struck when Maria Marshall, a beloved 42-year-old mother of three, was murdered in a parking area off the Garden State Parkway.What first appeared to be a random robbery quickly unraveled into something far more sinister. As investigators dug deeper, they uncovered a troubled marriage, financial troubles, a torrid love affair, and a murder plot that crossed state lines. The case became one of the most notorious crimes in New Jersey, later documented in Joe McGinniss's best-selling book and movie Blind Faith.Today's snack: Butterscotch barsSupport us on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lovemarrykillSources:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OzZyF2PUrk&t=597s “Blind Faith” 1990 movieMcGinniss, Joe (2012).

A first, but certainly not the last, journey to Italy, the homeland of Ultras: with Richard Hall, founder of the Guardian Sports Network blog The Gentleman Ultra - a treasure trove of Italian soccer stories - and host of Inter Milan's English-speaking club podcast, we travel first to the 1990s, when Ultra fanculture first became visible across Europe as an alternative to Hooligan and other supporters cultures, and then try to explain the fascination of Calcio from Italy for all soccer fans, the stadium experience in Italy today, and the life of an English-speaking fan at the heart of one of Italy's great clubs. There is a lot more ground to cover on Ultras and Italy, of course - politics, power dynamics, and violence that now takes place almost exclusively outside of stadiums. Richard's experience is that of a fan himself. Some books and articles linked below deepen or reframe his impression - but they do not take away from the fascination he felt, and is feeling, when coming in touch with the culture in Italy's curvas, the terraces behind the goals in Italian stadiums. HELPFUL LINKS FOR THIS EPISODE:The Gentleman UltraRichard on twitterInter choreo against Benfica Lisbon, April 2023Pazza Inter Amala - Inter's club songInter Ultras - best moments (video)Tobias Jones on changes within Inter's ultra scenePerhaps the 3 best English books on Italian soccer:John Foot, Calcio: A History of Italian FootballTim Parks, A Season with Verona: Travels Around Italy in Search of Illusion, National Character . . . and Goals!Joe McGinniss, The Miracle of Castel di Sangro: A Tale of Passion and Folly in the Heart of ItalyPlease leave a quick voicemail with any feedback, corrections, suggestions - or just greetings - HERE.

Liz Recommends - Morally IndefensibleFrom Marc Smerling, the creator behind The Jinx and Crimetown, comes a story of murder, friendship and betrayal. In 1979, Ex-Green Beret Doctor Jeffrey MacDonald was convicted of the murders of his pregnant wife and two young daughters. When he meets a famous young journalist named Joe McGinniss, the two become fast friends. Joe agrees to write a book about Jeff's case to finally reveal the truth. The book, Fatal Vision, became a smash bestseller and a TV limited series watched by millions of people. But the story it told wasn't the story Jeff expected…And that sets off a series of events that ruins both their lives.Morally Indefensible is a companion to the FX docuseries, A Wilderness of Error coming to FX September 25, and streaming next day on Hulu.https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/morally-indefensible/id1525749557Nick Recommends - PainkillerThe opioid crisis hit a milestone this past year: fentanyl killed more people in a single year than any other drug in modern history.

The first mountain stage of this year's Giro d'Italia saw a commanding win for Egan Bernal, who took over the pink jersey, after a thrilling day's racing in the Abruzzo mountains. In our stage nine episode we hear from Bernal, as well as Giulio Ciccone, who was second on the stage. There's an interview with Natnael Tesfatsion, the Eritrean on the Androni team, and Richard and Daniel go on a pilgrimage in Castel di Sangro, where the stage started and which was the setting for a great sports book, The Miracle of Castel di Sangro, by American author Joe McGinniss.

In our third episode of Kilometre 0 from the Giro d'Italia we revisit a classic sports book, The Miracle of Castel di Sangro. Stage 9 of the Giro will roll out of a small town in the Abruzzo mountains: the scene in 1996 of the "miracle" of Castel di Sangro winning promotion to Italy's second top division, Serie B.When he read about this unlikely story, Joe McGinniss, a  celebrated American writer, decided to go and live in Castel di Sangro to document life in Serie B. Little could McGinniss have known the tumult, drama and tragedy he would witness. And little could Castel di Sangro have known how involved the American writer would become in the town and its football club.McGinniss died in 2014 but in this episode we hear from his widow, Nancy Doherty. Kilometre 0 by The Cycling Podcast is supported by Supersapiens

Friend of the pod Sebastian Stockman joins us for the second episode in our three-part series on The New Journalism. Sub is a teaching professor in English at Northeastern University, and a journalist and essayist. We discuss Janet Malcolm’s The Journalist and the Murderer (1990), a book about another book -- Joe McGinniss’s Fatal Vision, for which the subject (convicted murderer Jeffrey MacDonald) sued McGinniss for fraud. We take up the whole idea of the “nonfiction novel,” Malcolm’s interest in psychoanalysis as a lens for thinking about the journalist-subject relationship, and the ethics of writing about real people. Tristan also gets to dunk on William F Buckley (his favorite thing), and Sub shares some tips on good work habits via Tom Wolfe -- we’ll get to him next week. We read the Vintage edition. For more Malcolm, you can read In the Freud Archives, which Sub talks about on the show. That book spawned its own famous lawsuit, an experience Malcolm discusses in The Journalist and the Murderer and which, in part, frames her discussion of the McGinniss case.

Part 1 (00:00:00) - Giuliano and Christian break down all the upcoming games for Serie A Matchday 18 including the much anticipated Derby della Capitale between Lazio and Roma as well as the Derby d'Italia between Inter and Juventus.   Part 2 (01:12:25) - Giuliano and Christian share their thoughts on why teams like Crotone struggle when they are promoted to a higher division and why teams promoted to Serie B need to strive for a consecutive promotion to Serie A the following season or else they are likely to fall apart. Their thoughts are based off the book The Miracle of Castel Di Sangro written by Joe McGinniss.

When Army surgeon Jeffrey MacDonald was sent to prison for killing his family, a storm of swirling narratives challenged our very ability to find the truth all the while overshadowing a chilling possibility: MacDonald may be an innocent man. 50 years have passed since the tragic murders of Colette, Kimberley and Kristen MacDonald, and more than 40 years have passed since the subsequent conviction of husband and father Jeffrey MacDonald. While Jeffrey maintains his innocence to this day, this is one of the longest active criminal cases in the history of American jurisprudence and has drawn significant interest from national media. In fact, there have been at least 10 books and movies made about the case, including the miniseries Fatal Vision, based on the book of the same name from Joe McGinniss, and A Wilderness of Error from acclaimed author and documentarian Errol Morris, from which the FX docuseries is based. Marc Smerling is an American film producer, screenwriter and cinematographer nominated for an Academy Award® in 2003 for Capturing the Friedmans. He’s also garnered recognition for the 2010 documentary Catfish, the inspiration behind the successful MTV series of the same name, and for 2015’s HBO docuseries, The Jinx. A Wilderness of Error will air as a two-night event on FX with the first three episodes airing back-to-back-to-back beginning at 8p ET/PT on Friday, September 25. The series will conclude Friday, October 2 with its final two episodes airing back-to-back beginning at 9p ET/PT. Episodes will be available for streaming the day after broadcast via FX on Hulu. 
 Marc Smerling directs and executive produces the series under his recently launched production company Truth Media, alongside Blumhouse Television and UCP, a division of Universal Studio Group. Additional executive producers include Michael Jackson and Rachael Horovitz, who acquired the rights to the book; Jason Blum, Jeremy Gold, Marci Wiseman, Mary Lisio, Dawn Olmstead and Jessica Grimshaw.

As a 26 year old reporter covering the Nixon campaign in l968, Joe McGinniss would go on to write one of the seminal works of political reporting.  The Selling of the President 1968 would portray the next level of media in politics.  If the televised Nixon/Kennedy debate set the stage, the 1968 Nixon campaign and the work of a young Roger Ailes, as reported by McGinniss', would be main event.McGinness would go on to write about many other controversial characters, both in the annals of politics and true crime.  His reporting on Jeffery McDonald and his battles with Janet Malcolm would put him at the center of a media and literary storm.  His last political work, a look deep inside the shallowness of Sarah Palin, would be fitting capstone for his political reporting.Over the years, I spoke to McGinniss several times.  Here are the two most recent.  His look at Palin and his story Never Enough that captured the dark heart of modern family greed and averse.Never Enough11/2/2007The Rogue: Searching for the Real Sarah Palin10/10/2011

On this week's podcast, we welcome National Book Critics Circle board member Carolyn Kellogg to talk about the NBCC awards, the changes to the National Book Award (which set me off on a bit of a paranoid rant), Bookish and its suckishness, and a variety of other literary topics.    I also want to add a bit of an update. Since the time we spoke, I've finished HHhH and most of NW, and contrary to all the niceties expressed on this podcast, I'm pretty bummed out about the NBCC finalists for fiction. Both HHhH and NW are staggeringly mediocre and should be replaced by Satantango and Maidenhair. Then again, the sheer literary quality of a list of books including these two masterpieces along with Lydia Millet's Magnificence would be so mind-blowingly amazing that no future list could ever match up. In other words, the NBCC chose to middle-mind the shit out of their list of finalists to save you--the readers--from experiencing too much literary joy all at once. That's the best explanation I can come up with, since, wow, I gave these books way too much credit before reading them.    And don't even get me started on the fact that Errol Morris's A Wilderness of Error isn't on there. (I totally blanked on this while we were recording.) But as a nod to my other conspiracy theories, I'll give the NBCC the benefit of the doubt on this one and assume Wilderness isn't a finalist because of Joe McGinniss.

The inherent drama of presidential campaigns has given us a long line of great political reporting. From Theodore White, who set the bar in 1960, through Timothy Kraus, Richard Ben Cramer, who left us recently, Joe McGinniss and even Hunter Thompson. Today, Rolling Stone and BuzzFeed reporter Michael Hastings picks up that mantle. In many ways coverage of a campaign is an inherently boring job, but some reporters make the connection between the campaign, the times and the candidate. That's what Michael Hastings as accomplished in his new ebook Panic 2012: The Sublime and Terrifying Inside Story of Obama's Final Campaign. try { var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-6296941-2"); pageTracker._trackPageview(); } catch(err) {} My conversation with Michael Hastings: var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ?

This week's podcast is focused on crime and detective books--both fiction and nonfiction. First off, we talk I monologue about Errol Morris's A Wilderness of Error: The Trials of Jeffrey MacDonald and my recent Twitter fight with Joe McGinniss about this case, then we move on to talking about Wolf Haas's Brenner and God and what makes this book (and detective books in general) fun to read.
