Few people beyond South Carolina's Lowcountry knew of Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston—Mother Emanuel—before the tragic events on the night of June 17, 2015. Although the shooter had targeted Mother Emanuel to agitate racial strife, he could not have anticipated the aftermath or the outpouring of forgiveness from victims' families. Kevin Sack is a veteran journalist and Jacksonville native who has written about national affairs for more than four decades and has been part of three Pulitzer Prize–winning teams. His debut book, Mother Emanuel, is a sweeping history of the first AME church in the South and a profound story of courage and grace amid the fight for racial justice. A native of Jacksonville, Florida, and a graduate of Duke University, Kevin Sack spent thirty years on the staff of The New York Times, where he specialized in writing long-form narrative and investigative reports, often related to race. He also has written for the Los Angeles Times and The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, and his work has appeared in The New York Times Magazine. He was a 2019 Emerson Collective Fellow at New America. Interviewer Isaiah Oliver is the third president of The Community Foundation for Northeast Florida, Florida's oldest and one of its largest community foundations, established in 1964. He leads a seasoned 30-person team that manages more than $700 million in assets and distributed over $85 million in grants in 2024. Isaiah's commitment to community leadership is evident through his service on the Jacksonville Civic Council and as Co-Chair of the Jacksonville Transformation Coalition. Nationally, he serves as Chair of the Board of Directors for CFLeads and holds board or advisory roles with the Dorothy A. Johnson Center for Philanthropy, ABFE (Association of Black Foundation Executives), Independent Sector, and the Council on Foundations Public Policy Advisory Committee. A Fellow of the inaugural class of the Civil Society Fellowship—a partnership of the AntiDefamation League and The Aspen Institute—Isaiah is also a member of the Aspen Global Leadership Network. --- Never miss an event!

As families prepare to send their kids back to school this year, some parents must face a new worry: will their children make it home safely, or will they be there to greet them, at the end of the day? Trump's immigration crackdown is taking a toll on families across America, particularly under new guidance that allows ICE to arrest people in places where they were formerly prohibited from doing so—like schools, healthcare facilities, and places of worship. How will this impact students and families across the nation—and what can we do to fight back?Helping us to sort out these questions and set the record straight is our very special guest, Kevin R. Johnson: Kevin R. Johnson is the former dean and a Professor of Law at UC Davis. He is also Professor of Chicana/o Studies and Director of the Aoki Center for Critical Race and Nation Studies at UC Davis. He has published extensively on immigration law and civil rights. He is the author of How Did You Get to Be Mexican? A White/Brown Man's Search for Identity (1999) and Immigration Law and the US-Mexico Border (2011). Johnson blogs regularly on immigration law and policy developments at ImmigrationProf, and is quoted regularly by the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, and other local, state, national and international news outlets.

Today, the microphone turns on Writers on Writing founder and host Barbara DeMarco-Barrett. She joins Marrie Stone to talk about her latest story collection, Pool Fishing. Barbara's venture into noir fiction began with the short story, “Crazy for You,” originally published in Akashic Book's, Orange County Noir, later included in USA Noir: Best of the Akashic Noir Series. She's also the editor and contributor to Palm Springs Noir (Akashic) and was nominated for a Pushcart Prize for her short story, “Rowboat,” in Kelp Journal (Dec. 2023). Both “Crazy for You” and “Rowboat” appear in her latest collection. Barbara's fiction and poetry have been published extensively, including in Coolest American Stories 2022, CrimeReads, Dark City Crime & Magazine and elsewhere. Her first book, Pen on Fire: A Busy Woman's Guide to Igniting the Writer Within, was a Los Angeles Times best-seller and honored with an American Society of Journalists and Authors Outstanding Book Award. She's taught creative writing at various colleges for decades. All that means she has much to teach us, and tell us, about the creative process. She joins Marrie to talk about the creative germ for many of these 15 stories, why setting is so critical in noir, the attributes she believes necessary to make a successful writer, why she's such an advocate for small presses, and so much more. Barbara will be appearing at Arvida Books in Tustin on Friday, September 19th, at 6pm (with Maddie Margarita) and Knoll's in Laguna Niguel on Sunday, September 21, at 7pm (with Marrie Stone).

Texas dynasties are remembered for oil, ranching, and politics. Their names are carved into courthouses and campuses—but behind the polished legacy of the Farenthold family lies a darker story. In this first part of our multi-episode series, we trace the family's rise from European aristocracy and South Texas oil wealth into political power, before unraveling the tragedies that shadowed their name.From the sudden death of a child to the brutal gangland-style murder of 32-year-old Randy Farenthold, this episode examines the intersections of privilege, politics, and violence. As Frances “Sissy” Farenthold's political star rose on reform and civil rights, her family life was shattered by a killing that sent shockwaves through Corpus Christi society.But Randy's murder was only the beginning. Another son, Jimmy, would one day vanish—without obituary, without a police report, without answers. Just silence.This is Part One of Three of The Disappearance of Jimmy Farenthold: Oil, Power, and Secrets.If you have any information about the disappearance of Jimmy Farenthold, please contact the San Antonio Police Department at (210) 207-8939.Sources: The Corpus Christi Caller-Times, The Port Aransas South Jetty, The Houston Chronicle, The San Antonio Express-News, Texas Monthly, Texas Observer, texashistory.unt.edu, The Los Angeles Times,You can support gone cold and listen to the show ad-free at https://patreon.com/gonecoldpodcastFind us at https://www.gonecold.comFor Gone Cold merch, visit https://gonecold.dashery.comFollow gone cold on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, YouTube, and X.

In this NBN episode, host Hollay Ghadery speaks with Susan Glimore about her wonderful novel, The Curious Calling of Leonard Bush (Blair, 2025). Young Leonard Bush buries his lost leg and saves his whole East Tennessee town in this winsome and miracle-making novel. When twelve-year-old Leonard Bush loses his leg in a freak accident, he decides to give his leg a proper burial in the hilltop cemetery of his East Tennessee town. This event somehow sets off a chain of miraculous and catastrophic events--upending the lives of Leonard's rigidly God-fearing mother, June; his deeply conflicted father, Emmett; and his best friend, Azalea, and her mother, Rose, who is also the town prostitute. While the local Baptist minister passes judgment on events and promises dire consequences, the people of this small community on the banks of Big Sugar move together toward awakening. Susan Gilmore's love of storytelling flows naturally from her Tennessee roots. She's the daughter of a revival preacher's son, brought up on the land and streams that populate this novel that is, as Appalachian novelist Lee Smith says, a "homespun Pilgrim's Progress." Susan Gregg Gilmore is the author of the novels The Curious Calling of Leonard Bush, Looking for Salvation at the Dairy Queen, The Improper Life of Bezellia Grove, and The Funeral Dress. She has written for the Chattanooga Times Free Press, the Los Angeles Times, and the Christian Science Monitor. Born in Nashville, she lives in Tennessee with her husband.

Just after 8:00 pm on the evening of February 19, 1994, thirty-one-year-old Gloria Ramirez was admitted to Riverside General Hospital with what Emergency Room staff believed were symptoms of a heart attack. When Ramirez failed to respond to the medications and emergency treatments, medical staff began preparations for defibrillation; however, when they removed the woman's shirt, they were surprised to find her skin covered in an oily sheen and her body seemed to be emitting an odd fruity odor. Stranger still, when a nurse took a blood sample from the woman's arm, the blood smelled of ammonia and appeared to have slightly yellow particles floating in it. The nurse turned to leave the room, intending to take the sample for immediate analysis, but she didn't even make it to the door before she lost consciousness and was caught by a coworker before her limp body hit the floor. Less than an hour after she was admitted to the Riverside General Emergency Room, Gloria Ramirez was pronounced dead, but her story was far from over.Within hours of Ramirez's visit to the ER, medical personnel who attended her that evening became sick with symptoms typically associated with insecticide poisoning (tremors, apnea, burning skin), and several required hospitalization. In the days and weeks that followed, the doctors and nurses who'd come into direct contact with Ramirez continued to experience bizarre symptoms that seemed to defy logical explanation and left everyone wondering, how had a seemingly ordinary woman's body been transformed into Trojan horse of toxicity most associated with chemical warfare?Thank you to the Amazing Dave White (of BRING ME THE AXE PODCAST) for research and writing assistance!ReferencesAyers, B.

Bad Bunny is once again making international headlines this week with the culmination of his historic San Juan residency at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico, which wraps up on September 14. This residency, titled "No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí," has drawn an estimated 600,000 fans from the United States, Latin America, and Europe. The event has generated an extraordinary $200 million boost for Puerto Rico's local economy, according to coverage from Digital Music News, making it one of the most successful and influential concert series the island has ever seen. Bad Bunny used every night of this 30-show run not only as a musical experience but as a celebration of Puerto Rican culture—encouraging fans to explore local food, music, and even salsa dancing while they were in town.While most global superstars would embark on a massive multi-country tour, Bad Bunny instead invited the world to come to him. This strategy both deepened his ties with the island and sent a strong message about the cultural power and resilience of Puerto Rico. Forbes called this residency a blueprint for how a celebrity's brand can drive real economic and cultural transformation.There's a lot of buzz, and not a little controversy, around why Bad Bunny has left the United States off the touring schedule for his upcoming "Debí Tirar Más Fotos World Tour," set to begin November 21 in the Dominican Republic. In a candid interview with i-D magazine, Bad Bunny explained that the decision is rooted in deep concern over ICE—U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement—showing up outside his concerts. He didn't want to put any Latino fans at risk, especially those who might fear deportation or harassment at major U.S. venues. According to The Fader and Los Angeles Times, he's openly criticized ICE actions in both mainland U.S. and Puerto Rico, posting videos and speaking out on social media about the impact of these raids on the community. He stressed that U.S. fans are absolutely not forgotten: anyone is welcome to attend shows in Puerto Rico or abroad, reaffirming his commitment to connecting with his American audience, just in a safer context for everyone.Bad Bunny is also dominating the music headlines for his upcoming studio album, "Debí Tirar Más Fotos," which is scheduled for release January 5, 2025. According to Variety and AOL, the album is expected to include 17 tracks, among them "El Clúb" and "Pitorro De Coco," songs that have already dropped and which explore themes of nostalgia and the complexities of moving on from love. Critics and streaming platforms have already marked it as one of the most anticipated releases of the new year, promising a fresh blend of EDM, plena, and signature Bad Bunny introspection. This highly awaited project follows a period of high-profile singles and viral performances, keeping fans eager for his next musical chapter.Adding to his record-breaking year, Bad Bunny shattered another milestone by securing 27 nominations at the 2025 Billboard Latin Music Awards, the largest tally ever for any artist in a single year. Latin Times notes that these nominations span top categories, including Artist of the Year, Songwriter of the Year, Top Latin Album for "Debí Tirar Más Fotos," and multiple Hot Latin Song entries. He's widely expected to be the star of the October 23 ceremony, further cementing his dominance across Latin and global music scenes.Across social media, fans are celebrating the impact of his residency and discussing plans to travel internationally for the new tour, given the absence of U.S. dates. Venues in Europe, Latin America, Japan, Australia, and the Caribbean are preparing for huge turnout as Bad Bunny's global influence continues to expand.Thank you for tuning in, and be sure to join us again next week for more on the world's biggest artists and their latest moves.

Johnston met Donald Trump in 1988 and in April 1990 revealed that Trump's was no billionaire. When Trump announced his latest run for the White House in June 2015, Johnston was the only nationally-known journalist who immediately said Trump was serious this time and might get the GOP nomination.

The San Jose Mercury recruited Johnston when he was just 18 years old because of his reporting for two small weekly newspapers in Santa Cruz, Calif. At age 19 The Mercury hired him as a staff writer. Within weeks his byline made the front page. Over the next four decades his award-winning investigations appeared in that paper, the Detroit Free Press, Los Angeles Times, The Philadelphia Inquirer and The New York Times. Since 2009 Johnston has taught the business regulation, property and tax law of the ancient world at Syracuse University College of Law. He previously taught writing, reporting and magazine writing at the University of Southern California and UCLA Extension. He has lectured on four continents about journalistic techniques, ethics, legal theory and tax policy. Join us Monday's and Thursday's at 8EST for our twice Weekly Happy Hour Hangout!

The Menendez Brothers just faced their most high-stakes parole hearing yet, and only one reporter was allowed inside. In this episode, Tom Zenner and Kato Kaelin sit down with Los Angeles Times crime & courts reporter James Queally, the only journalist given access to Eric and Lyle Menendez's parole hearings.James shares what really happened behind closed doors, from the board's focus on cell phone violations to the emotional pleas of elderly relatives who fear they'll never see the brothers free again. He also explains how the brothers' contrasting prison records shaped the board's tone, the uproar over leaked audio, and what role DA George Gascón's policies may play in their future.Beyond the courtroom, James reflects on the cultural significance of the Menendez case, from its origins in Beverly Hills to its portrayal in Netflix documentaries and TikTok revivals. He draws comparisons to O.J. Simpson and Weinstein, offering a rare journalist's lens on crime, culture, and justice.
Peso Pluma BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Peso Pluma has been in the headlines for a whirlwind of activity that defines the current chapter of his career. This week's most significant development is his five nominations at the upcoming 2025 Premios Juventud, where he'll be vying against other Latin music powerhouses as announced by the official awards organization and widely reported by outlets like Los40 and Que Onda Magazine. The fact that Peso Pluma is in the top tier for nominations speaks not only to his enduring popularity but to his critical influence in Latin music right now. Anticipation is building for his live performance at the ceremony in Panama City on September 25, marking a major appearance especially since it's the first time the awards will be staged outside the U.S.In the collaborative arena, Peso Pluma is generating buzz for his work with Netón Vega, including their joint hit La Patrulla, which helped land both artists an MTV VMA nomination for Best Latin, a notable debut for Vega but also a fresh accolade for Peso Pluma, as covered in the Los Angeles Times. Their chemistry in the studio has become a talking point among industry insiders. Even more cross-genre news, Dutch DJ Tiësto's new EDM remix of Morena with Peso Pluma and Vega is now official. Tiësto has been playing the track at festival sets to positive crowd reactions, which is a signal that Peso Pluma's reach is vaulting beyond Latin markets and into international dance music circuits.Turning to management and mentoring, Paloma Mami became the first woman and non-Mexican artist signed by Peso Pluma's Double P Management right before releasing her new LP, a move that the Los Angeles Times says is already reshaping her career trajectory and positions Peso Pluma as a tastemaker and influencer behind the scenes. In live performance news, Peso Pluma's surprise onstage duet with Kali Uchis at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles left fans—and Variety—buzzing about their electric rendition of Igual Que Un Ángel during Uchis's sold-out concert. Social media lit up with clips and influencers like Willito commented that this collaboration was a career first for both stars.It's not all positive: reports from IMDb and Rolling Stone confirm that Peso Pluma canceled a string of Latin American concerts in Peru, Paraguay, and Chile earlier this year citing personal reasons. This was set to be his debut at the Viña del Mar festival, and its cancellation disappointed fans. On the charts, TikTok accounts noted this week that for the first time Peso Pluma does not have a single song in the top ranks—a sudden absence that has fans and commentators speculating on whether this is a momentary dip or a lull before the next wave, though no verified statements from Peso Pluma himself have addressed this yet. All told, Peso Pluma is riding a streak of major nominations, strategic collaborations, and bold management moves, while handling some career turbulence and intense fan scrutiny—leaving no doubt that his every move is biographical fuel for the ongoing evolution of one of música mexicana's most watched stars.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

Episode SummaryErin and Rachel wallow through an elderly man's grief journey with Pixar's critically acclaimed Up (2009). They argue the beautiful art and cute sidekicks aren't enough to redeem this (admittedly beloved) film, especially since the (admittedly moving) love story invokes the classic “dead wife” trope.

In March 2022, the Jeffrey Epstein estate officially put both Little St. James and Great St. James in the U.S. Virgin Islands on the market with a combined asking price of $125 million. Media outlets including the Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times, ABC News, Business Insider, and Boston.com all reported the listing. The islands—epicenters of Epstein's alleged sex trafficking—were listed through Bespoke Real Estate and other high‑end agencies, with estate representatives confirming that proceeds were intended to help resolve outstanding lawsuits and cover estate-related expenses.To contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.wsj.com/articles/jeffrey-epsteins-private-islands-in-the-caribbean-to-list-for-125-million-11647998425Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

When nineteen-year-old Patty Hearst was kidnapped from her apartment in February 1974, everyone assumed the heiress had been abducted for the purposes of ransom. However, in the days that followed, Hearst's kidnappers, the Symbionese Liberation Army (SLA), made themselves known when they sent a letter demanding the Hearst family provide food to every needy family in California. For nearly two months, the SLA held Patty Hearts captive, or so it seemed to the public. But when the group's demands were met and Hearst was given the opportunity to leave, the teenager shocked the world when, rather than flee her captors, she joined their ranks in support of their cause. Hearst's decision set in motion a chain of events that resulted in several acts of explosive violence and forever changed the way we think about victims of kidnapping. Yet in all the analysis of the case over the last fifty years, one question remains unanswered, and possibly unanswerable: Was Patty Hearst a willing accomplice to the SLA or was she a brainwashed victim trying to survive a traumatic ordeal?Thank you to the Amazing Dave White (of BRING ME THE AXE PODCAST) for research and writing assistance!ReferencesAssociated Press. 1974.

When nineteen-year-old Patty Hearst was kidnapped from her apartment in February 1974, everyone assumed the heiress had been abducted for the purposes of ransom. However, in the days that followed, Hearst's kidnappers, the Symbionese Liberation Army (SLA), made themselves known when they sent a letter demanding the Hearst family provide food to every needy family in California. For nearly two months, the SLA held Patty Hearts captive, or so it seemed to the public. But when the group's demands were met and Hearst was given the opportunity to leave, the teenager shocked the world when, rather than flee her captors, she joined their ranks in support of their cause. Hearst's decision set in motion a chain of events that resulted in several acts of explosive violence and forever changed the way we think about victims of kidnapping. Yet in all the analysis of the case over the last fifty years, one question remains unanswered, and possibly unanswerable: Was Patty Hearst a willing accomplice to the SLA or was she a brainwashed victim trying to survive a traumatic ordeal?Thank you to the Amazing Dave White (of BRING ME THE AXE PODCAST) for research and writing assistance!ReferencesAssociated Press. 1974.

This week's podcast is focused on language—word choice, puns, clever language, reading aloud, being in love with language, and so much more. Myriam is a master of language, and her books are a delight to read because of it. And we're bringing back the book trend this season, kicking off with a conversation between Brooke and Grant about the trend of authors using AI to enhance their writing, specifically chosen to juxtapose the kind of language we read in Myriam's work. If you've been thinking about how to write better, more creative, more unique prose, we're circling that and more this week. And welcome to our new season! Myriam Gurba is the author of four books: Dahlia Season, Painting Their Portraits in Winter; Mean, and Creep. Myriam's writing has been widely anthologized and has appeared in The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Harper's Bazaar, Believer, Paris Review, and elsewhere.

What if recovery isn't about a finish line but about finding meaning in the messy middle? In this episode of Dr. Marianne-Land: An Eating Disorder Recovery Podcast, Dr. Marianne Miller welcomes journalist, professor, and author Mallary Tenore Tarpley to talk about her groundbreaking new book, Slip: Life in the Middle of Eating Disorder Recovery. Mallary shares her powerful story of developing anorexia at age 12 after her mother's death, navigating years of treatment, and later facing a decade-long cycle of bingeing and restricting. She describes how she reframed her experience through the concept of “The Middle Place,” which is a space between acute illness and full recovery where slips are not failures but opportunities for growth. Through her lens as a journalist and storyteller, Mallary highlights the importance of expanding the language of recovery. Instead of labeling experiences as “quasi-recovery” or “pseudo-recovery,” she offers a more compassionate and nuanced perspective...one that validates ongoing struggles while still holding space for progress and hope.
Han är Hollywoods bäst betalde skådespelare, med ett förflutet som kung i en annan värld späckad av drama och högtflygande stunts. Nya avsnitt från P3 ID hittar du först i Sveriges Radio Play. När supersnuten Luke Hobbs, svettigt, ilsket, och muskulöst spelad av Dwayne Johnson, drabbar samman med Vin Diesels lika grovhuggna antihjälte Dom Toretto i actionfilmen ”Fast five” är det en ostoppbar kraft som möter ett orubbligt föremål. Den filmiska krocken skakar om biosalonger världen över, och när intäkterna har räknats samman är det ett kvitto på att Dwayne Johnson är mannen Hollywood ska ringa för en kassainjektion.Så inleds berättelsen om en klättring till den absoluta toppen av underhållningspyramiden i USA. Men Dwayne Johnsons historia börjar mycket tidigare än så. För innan han fick folk från Texas till Tianjin att flockas till biograferna var han redan den största stjärnan i wrestling – en bransch som mainstreamkulturen länge rynkat på näsan åt, och en företeelse som belackarna har kallat fejk men vars äkta fans är gränslöst lojala.Det är i slutet av 90-talet som Dwayne Johnson gör entré i ringen som wrestlaren The Rock. Hans bisarrt kaxiga attityd, matchad av en lika vågad garderob, överträffas bara av hans förmåga att trollbinda publiken med sina fysiska konster. Snart har han blivit wrestlingvärldens starkast lysande stjärna.Bakom sig har Johnson en uppväxt i en familj där fribrottningen alltid har varit närvarande, på gott och ont. I skuggan av en berömd pappa, och dennes svaghet för ”livets goda”, har Dwayne Johnson tvingats navigera genom både ekonomisk och känslomässig otrygghet, besvikelser och stängda dörrar.Det är också de erfarenheterna som, tillsammans med en omtalad förmåga att förutspå vad publiken vill ha, ligger till grunden för vad han själv har pratat om som ett möjligt nytt kapitel i livet: en karriär inom politiken.I avsnittet medverkar Messiah Hallberg, komiker, programledare och tidigare wrestlingentreprenör, och Amy Nicholson, filmkritiker på tidningen The Los Angeles Times.Klippen i avsnittet är hämtade från WWE:s Youtubekanal, The Joe Rogan Experience, PBD Podcast, What Now? With Trevor Noah, Movieclips, The Oprah Winfrey Network, Vanity Fair, Fox News, Dwayne Johnsons X-konto.

Morgan Wade stands alone in her ability to dissect and examine human emotion through her visceral songwriting. Her 2024 album, Obsessed, was a solo-written opus, which No Depression declared, “She's without a doubt one of the finest singers in country and Americana music today, and this album is her best yet.” Now, Wade readies The Party is Over (recovered), a collection of songs old and new that continues the intense exploration of her psyche's recesses that she again wrote solo. As ever, the results are thrilling. Out now, The Party Is Over (recovered) connects Wade's past and present, showing she hasn't lost an ounce of her dedication to shining a light into the dark places where the truth hides out. Since debuting in 2021 with Reckless, Wade has found herself gaining considerable attention and admiration amongst her country and roots music peers as well as musicians in the rock and pop world. She's toured with everyone from Eric Church and Chris Stapleton to Alanis Morissette, Joan Jett and, most recently, Shinedown. Once of the most noteworthy and celebrated artists of her time, Wade has been spotlighted by The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Rolling Stone, Forbes, Garden & Gun, People, Tennessean, Variety, and many more. Today on the show we discuss: Morgan's powerful sobriety journey, how she's learned to manage other addictive patterns, how she stays sober while touring, why fitness and discipline are cornerstones of her recovery, how sobriety has made her a stronger musician, what it was like touring with Alanis Morissette and Joan Jett, how she handles the comparison trap and much more. ⚠ WELLNESS DISCLAIMER ⚠ Please be advised; the topics related to health and mental health in my content are for informational, discussion, and entertainment purposes only.

Gail Eisnittz joins Let's Talk Memoir for a conversation about structuring her memoir around her pursuit of answers to a lifelong medical mystery, coming to terms with her own humanness, writing about her career in animal advocacy, exposing the underbelly of the meat industry and effecting change for millions of animals, working on difficult and hard-to-sell material, not sharing a book project with friends and loved ones until it's complete, weathering a difficult submission process, allowing herself to soften emotionally, becoming more in touch with self-compassion, and her new memoir Out of Sightz: An Undercover Investigator's Fight for Animal Rights and Her Own Survival.

Eisnitz, winner of the prestigious Albert Schweitzer Medal for outstanding achievement in animal welfare, has been working for decades to document and expose the shocking underbelly of the U.S. meat industry. She is chief investigator for the Humane Farming Association and author of the forthcoming memoir, Out of Sight: An Undercover Investigator's Fight for Animal Rights and Her Own Survival. Eisnitz and her first book, Slaughterhouse: The Shocking Story of Greed, Neglect, and Inhumane Treatment inside the U.S. Meat Industry, were the driving force behind a front-page exposé in the Washington Post that resulted in an annual multimillion dollar Congressional appropriation for enforcement of the Humane Slaughter Act – the first funding ever allocated for a law that had been on the books for more than forty years. Eisnitz's work has resulted in exposés by ABC's Good Morning America, PrimeTime Live, and Dateline NBC, has been featured in such newspapers as the New York Times, San Francisco Chronicle, Miami Herald, Detroit Free Press, Texas Monthly, Denver Business Journal, Los Angeles Times, and U.S. News & World Report, and her interviews have been heard on more than 1,000 radio stations. In her new memoir, Eisnitz takes readers on a journey of self-discovery as she fights to document and expose scandalous animal abuse, all in the face of a rare visual processing disorder that she has grappled with since childhood. The disease, which was only identified in the scientific literature a mere ten years ago – was diagnosed after she began writing her memoir – and is revealed at the book's climax.

Throughout the 1970s, Southern California residents were held in the grip of terror as multiple serial killers stalked the streets, preying on victims from every walk of life, including the area's gay community. From 1971 to 1983, Randy Kraft kidnapped, tortured, and murdered at least sixteen men and boys, but the real number of victims is believed to be considerably higher. When he was arrested in 1983, investigators searched Kraft's home and found a list with cryptic references to what they believed were sixty-one victims in total. The discovery of that list led the press to dub Kraft “The Scorecard Killer.”Following his arrest in 1983, Randy Kraft was tried and convicted of sixteen counts of first-degree murder and sentenced to death. Although the arrest and trial put an end to Kraft's murder spree, several critical questions remain unanswered, including the most important aspect of the case detectives were never able to solve: who was Randy Kraft's accomplice?Thank you to the Incredible Dave White of Bring Me the Axe Podcast for research and Writing support!ReferencesArnold, Roxane, and Jerry Hicks. 1983.

Throughout the 1970s, Southern California residents were held in the grip of terror as multiple serial killers stalked the streets, preying on victims from every walk of life, including the area's gay community. From 1971 to 1983, Randy Kraft kidnapped, tortured, and murdered at least sixteen men and boys, but the real number of victims is believed to be considerably higher. When he was arrested in 1983, investigators searched Kraft's home and found a list with cryptic references to what they believed were sixty-one victims in total. The discovery of that list led the press to dub Kraft “The Scorecard Killer.”Following his arrest in 1983, Randy Kraft was tried and convicted of sixteen counts of first-degree murder and sentenced to death. Although the arrest and trial put an end to Kraft's murder spree, several critical questions remain unanswered, including the most important aspect of the case detectives were never able to solve: who was Randy Kraft's accomplice?Thank you to the Incredible Dave White of Bring Me the Axe Podcast for research and Writing support!ReferencesArnold, Roxane, and Jerry Hicks. 1983.
