An off-duty cop is stabbed to death, and her assailant is critically wounded. Eyewitness Monica Johnson tells detectives Lenny Briscoe and Rey Curtis that she saw the man follow the victim into the park—but holes in her story lead them to arrest her for the officer's death. District Attorney Adam Schiff faces political pressure to seek the death penalty for the cop killer. After prosecutor Jack McCoy gets Monica to confess on the stand, she undergoes a religious transformation and chooses not to fight her execution. McCoy and ADA Jamie Ross debate whether a repentant killer should face the death penalty. Monica's cause is taken up by both left-wing and right-wing lawyers, who petition to spare her life.Meanwhile, Lt. Anita Van Buren's discrimination suit against the NYPD is dismissed, and Briscoe's daughter is pressured into participating in a dangerous sting operation to take down her drug dealer.We're talking about Law & Order season eight, episode 21 “Bad Girl.” Our returning guest is Mark Blankenship.

Janet Michael, the tireless host of The Valley Today, has reached a milestone few in broadcasting can claim: 2,500 consecutive episodes. In a special celebratory podcast, Janet welcomes Andy Gail, CEO of United Way of Northern Shenandoah Valley—and a longtime listener turned frequent guest—to reflect on the journey, share laughs, and look ahead to new adventures. From Listener to Guest: Andy's Unique Perspective Right from the start, Andy brings a playful energy, joking about his habit of listening to Janet's show before bed and his record as the most consistent guest. Their banter sets the tone for an episode filled with warmth and camaraderie. Andy, now a community leader, recalls how the show has become a staple for many, including former colleagues who still tune in and text him after his appearances. Fun Facts and Friendly Rivalries To put 2,500 episodes in perspective, Andy rattles off a series of fun facts: Janet has outpaced The Simpsons, Law & Order, and even Law & Order: SVU in episode count, though she still has a way to go to catch up with soap operas like Guiding Light. The conversation is peppered with quirky trivia—did you know it takes 2,500 honeybees to make a pound of honey, or that the average person consumes 2,500 calories a day? These playful comparisons highlight the magnitude of Janet's achievement while keeping the mood light. Behind the Scenes: The Real Work of Podcasting Transitioning from celebration to reality, Janet and Andy pull back the curtain on the work that goes into each episode. Janet reveals that producing a single show can take three to four hours, from booking guests and recording to editing out hundreds of “ums” and “uhs.” Andy marvels at the dedication, calculating that Janet has spent over 8,000 pots of coffee and nearly 9,000 hours keeping The Valley Today on the air. Their candid discussion underscores the unseen effort behind the microphone. Debates, Dishes, and Community Spirit No Valley Today episode would be complete without a spirited debate. Janet and Andy revisit classic arguments—Is cereal soup? Is a hot dog a sandwich or a taco?—and tease an upcoming podcast series focused on the best dishes in Winchester. Their friendly disagreements and shared laughter exemplify the show's unique blend of information and entertainment. Giving Back: A Fundraiser for the Community As the conversation draws to a close, Janet and Andy announce a special United Way fundraiser in honor of the 2,500th episode. Their goal: raise $2,500 by year's end to support local nonprofits. Listeners are invited to donate, participate in auctions, and even win a chance to appear on the show. The initiative reflects Janet's deep commitment to the community and her belief that even small contributions can make a big difference. Learn more here: https://givebutter.com/ValleyToday Looking Ahead: The Streak Continues Finally, Janet shares her next goal—surpassing Cal Ripken's legendary streak of 2,632 consecutive baseball games. With her trademark humor and determination, she assures listeners that The Valley Today will be back tomorrow, ready to inform, entertain, and connect the community once again. Through laughter, reflection, and a shared sense of purpose, Janet and Andy celebrate not just a broadcasting milestone, but the enduring power of local storytelling. As The Valley Today enters its next chapter, one thing is clear: the conversation—and the coffee—will keep flowing.

When a college co-ed accuses raunchy rock star Clarence "C-Square" Carmichael of raping her in his hotel room, Detectives Mike Logan and Lenny Briscoe have to decide whether she's an actual victim or a willing participant now looking for a payday. Lt. Anita Van Buren is the only one who believes Julia's story, and Logan and Briscoe turn up evidence the musician has paid off other victims in the past.DA Adam Schiff can't believe Julia didn't know what she was getting into when she visited the man's room late at night. But prosecutor Ben Stone says she still has the right to say no and what C-Square did was a crime. Newly arrived ADA Claire Kincaid tells Stone that Julia perjured herself on the stand. It was regarding facts she told Claire, but didn't pass along to Ben thinking they were irrelevant. Feeling he can no longer trust his new assistant, Stone tells her to seek a transfer. Though the victim has been discredited, the jury still convicts the rock star of rape. After winning the case, Ben reconsiders and gives Claire a second chance.We're talking about Law & Order season 4 episode 3 "Discord." Our guest is Meredith Constant from the "Off with Their Headlines" podcast.This episode is inspired by the 1991 rape case of boxer Mike Tyson.

When a baseball fan despised for costing the team the pennant is killed in a bar, Detectives Briscoe and Green connect the crime to Walter Grimes, a man released from prison after 20 years for a murder he didn't commit. Attorney Rodney Fallon (played by Giancarlo Esposito) argues he's innocent because his time as a wrongfully convicted man made him a murderer. McCoy and Southerlyn find the cop who originally framed him. He says the bloody knife he planted was from a different murder committed by Grimes. The prosecutors must rely on planted evidence and the dirty cop to prove the defendant was already a killer before being set up. We're talking about Law & Order season 14 episode 21 “Vendetta.” Our ten-time returning guest is Sarah D. Bunting.This episode draws inspiration from the infamous 2003 Steve Bartman foul ball incident at Wrigley Field. For exclusive content from Kevin and Rebecca, sign up on Patreon.

As tension boils in the streets of LA, emotions run high, narratives get twisted, and chaos overshadows the core of what our community truly stands for—dignity, discipline, and heart. So, what happens when Latina leaders who actually live this reality take the mic and tell it like it is?In this episode, I'm joined by two of my favorite guests, back by popular demand: Marisela Arechiga and Lizette Espinosa. These powerhouse Latinas are educated, driven, and deeply rooted in LA's immigrant community.

From historical context to misinformation, from emotional triggers to political optics—we cover it all. You'll hear about the danger of bad actors in social movements, the need for peaceful protests rooted in legacy, and how we, as Latinas, must step up, get educated, and model something different for the next generation.

On this week's show we rank our favorite Streaming Services. We also read your emails and take a look at the week's news. News: More than 25% of viewers aren't watching live TV anymore Tubi breaks the 100 million monthly active user mark Netflix to Introduce Live TV Channels in France NCIS: Tony & Ziva Sets September Premiere Date on Paramount+ Other: Panasonic DVD Recorders on ebay Panasonic DMR-EH75VS DVD recorder with 80GB hard drive and HiFi VCR, plus DVD video upconversion at Crutchfield The 10 Best DVD Recorders of 2025 (Reviews) - FindThisBest "It's Official: Streaming Is Now the King of TV The Definitive Streaming Service Ranking We received an email from a listener named Scott that pointed us to an article titled ”The Definitive Streaming Service Ranking” written by Josh Rosenberg and published in Esquire magazine. In the article he ranks the top seven streaming services. We'll go through his picks from seven to one. And then we'll give our rankings. 7 Amazon Prime Video - The main criterion for ranking streaming services is whether they offer at least one new, worthwhile show each month. Prime Video falls short, as it doesn't consistently deliver high-quality new TV content. Instead, it focuses on being a hub for accessing other subscriptions, with shows like Reacher, Fallout, and The Boys feeling like bonuses for Amazon Prime's free shipping rather than a compelling reason to subscribe for streaming alone. 6 Peacock - Peacock is a top choice for reality-TV fans, offering Bravo's full lineup, including Real Housewives, Love Island USA, Below Deck, Top Chef, and Watch What Happens Live. It also hosts NBC's library with classics like The Office, Parks & Recreation, New Girl, Scrubs, and Law & Order, plus Yellowstone due to an exclusive deal. Its appeal lies in its sitcom and reality-TV vault, and it's the streaming home for the Olympics, though that's only every two years. Fans might find it worth a high price, though it's currently much less than $100 a month. 5 Disney/Hulu/ESPN+ - The Disney/Hulu/ESPN+ bundle is perceived as a single streaming service due to its long-standing integration, with Disney enhancing this by adding Hulu and ESPN+ tiles to the Disney+ home screen for seamless access. Each service offers unique strengths: Disney+ excels in Marvel, Star Wars, and children's content; Hulu features FX shows like The Bear and Shōgun, plus ABC's lineup, including Abbott Elementary; and ESPN+ remains a leader in live sports despite growing competition. Their combined appeal keeps them competitive, as they are stronger together than individually. 4 Netflix - Netflix benefits from long-term subscriber relationships, with users browsing its platform like they once did with cable TV. However, its content quality is declining, with more misses than hits. The upcoming conclusion of major shows like Squid Game and Stranger Things in 2025 could further challenge its ability to retain subscribers. 3 Paramount+ - Paramount+ benefits from Taylor Sheridan's popular shows like Yellowstone, Landman, and 1923, and its merger with Showtime has brought quality series such as MobLand and Yellowjackets. However, the streaming service struggles to justify its subscription cost as essential, with its success hinging on the delivery of Sheridan's planned spin-off universe. 2 Apple TV+ - Apple TV+ has significantly improved its content in 2025, with successful shows like Severance season 2, The Studio (Seth Rogen), Your Friends and Neighbors (Jon Hamm), and Stick (Owen Wilson). Previously, subscribing only for specific shows was advisable, but now, due to consistent high-quality releases with A-list talent, keeping the subscription active is recommended. If this trend continues, Apple TV+ will remain a strong competitor in the streaming market. 1 HBO Max - HBO tops the power ranking due to its consistent delivery of high-quality TV shows that justify the subscription cost. With a business model focused on quality since its launch over 50 years ago, HBO has aired acclaimed series like The Pitt, The White Lotus, The Last of Us, The Rehearsal, and Hacks in the first half of 2025. Its extensive library includes some of the greatest shows and movies, such as Goodfellas. While Netflix prioritizes quantity, HBO Max excels in quality.
This weekend, Los Angeles turned into a war zone as left-wing radicals and illegal immigrants flooded the streets to oppose ICE operations. With fireworks launched at officers, stores looted, and foreign flags raised, city leaders turned their backs on law enforcement. Meanwhile, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth orders a crackdown to restore order. The same media that demonized January 6 is silent. Here's why Americans are waking up—and why the Trump crackdown is just beginning.
