Lischele and Derrick met in college back in 2000. They clicked instantly but never dated. Life took them in different directions. They both married other people, started families, and kept in touch only occasionally over the years. Then, in 2018, a birthday message reopened the door. What followed was a long-distance relationship filled with emotional growth, missed signals, and second chances. In this episode, they share how they built something lasting the second time around and what it was about the timing that finally made it work.

In this captivating conversation with bestselling author Annabelle Monaghan, we dive deep into her fourth novel, "It's a Love Story"!Annabelle reveals how Jennette McCurdy's raw memoir "I'm Glad My Mom Died" sparked her curiosity about teen stars who grow up on camera – young people who spend their formative years being told exactly who to be, what to say, and how to act. This inspiration evolved into Jane, a complex protagonist who emerges from childhood fame with no genuine sense of who she actually is, constantly morphing herself to fit others' expectations.The conversation takes us behind the curtain of Annabelle's writing process as she shares how she crafts characters readers gradually warm to, balances humor with vulnerability, and weaves meaningful philosophy into seemingly light fiction. Her insight that "real love happens over breakfast" – in quiet, everyday moments rather than grand gestures – perfectly captures the novel's authentic approach to relationships.We're also treated to an exclusive preview of Annabelle's upcoming work – a fake dating romance set against the backdrop of Newport mansions that promises all the heart, humor and depth her readers have come to expect.

Diddy's defense team delivers powerful closing arguments calling the sex‑trafficking charges ‘badly exaggerated' and alleging this is all "driven by financial motives." Defense said this is a story about domestic violence and urged jurors to see Combs' swinger lifestyle as consensual--not criminal. Welcome to Surviving the Survivor, the show that brings you the #BestGuests in all of #truecrime. In this episode Emmy-award winning host Joel Waldman brings you the best recap and highlights key moments from today's defense closing arguments in Diddy's 2025 trial. Sean "Diddy" Combs is facing serious time in a high-profile sex trafficking and racketeering trial that has captivated national attention. If convicted, Diddy could face decades in prison for allegedly running a criminal enterprise involving sexual exploitation, drug trafficking, and financial coercion. The prosecution has called several bombshell witnesses, including former girlfriend Cassie Ventura's testimony along with ex-bodyguard Roger Bonds, and multiple Jane Does who detailed disturbing allegations of abuse and control. These explosive testimonies have painted a picture of a dark underworld behind Combs' glamorous image. With the stakes this high, the Diddy trial is one of the most watched celebrity legal battles in years, and the verdict could change the hip-hop mogul's life forever.⸻ #Support the show:All Things STS: Https://linktr.ee/stspodcastGet Joel's Book: Https://amzn.to/48GwbLxSTS Merch: Https://www.bonfire.com/store/sts-store/Support the show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/SurvivingTheSurvivorCatch us live on YouTube: Surviving The Survivor: #BestGuests in True Crime - YouTubeVenmo Donations: @STSPodcast or Https://www.venmo.com/stspodcast#diddytrial #diddy #truestory #celebrity #new #criminaljustice #trial #hiphopnews #stsnation

“He Saved Us” — Or Did He? Gilgo Killer's Wife, Asa Ellerup's Love Story Examined by FBI Profiler In Segment 2 of our deep-dive into the Gilgo Beach case, Tony Brueski and retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke turn their focus to the beginning — the origin story of Asa Ellerup and Rex Heuermann's relationship. What started as an act of kindness during Asa's divorce quickly evolved into a lifelong partnership built, perhaps, on imbalance. She was young, vulnerable, in need of support. He was strong, stable, and offered her something she desperately craved: a sense of family and emotional safety. But beneath that surface — according to experts and prosecutors — may have been something else entirely. Robin Dreeke examines the early dynamics of Asa and Rex's bond, including key psychological indicators of emotional grooming, dependency, and how empathy can be weaponized by manipulators. Using real behavioral science and decades of field experience, Dreeke breaks down why Rex may have been drawn to Asa—not out of love, but for how perfectly she fit into the hidden life he needed to maintain. We also explore the concept of “lack of curiosity,” a recurring behavioral trait Dreeke believes allowed Rex to operate in plain sight. This episode dissects key parts of the Peacock documentary that showcase Asa's perspective on her marriage, the home they shared, and the vault of secrets that sat quietly beneath their feet. If you're interested in the psychological mechanisms predators use to stay hidden—and the painful cost to the people closest to them—this segment offers a hauntingly clear window into how it all begins.  Hashtags: #GilgoBeach #AsaEllerup #RexHeuermann #FBIProfiler #TrueCrimePodcast #RobinDreeke #EmotionalGrooming #SerialKillerPsychology #HiddenKillers #PeacockDocumentary Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?  Check out our YouTube Channel. https://www.youtube.com/@hiddenkillerspod Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Tik-Tok https://www.tiktok.com/@hiddenkillerspod X Twitter https://x.com/tonybpod Listen Ad-Free On Apple Podcasts Here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/true-crime-today-premium-plus-ad-free-advance-episode/id1705422872

In this stunning true crime thriller of Facebook, catfishing, and jealousy, a double-murder begins with the click of a button. When Bill Payne and Billie Jean Hayworth began their romance, they unknowingly set in motion a diabolical plot that would end with them murdered in their own home, Hayworth holding their mercifully unharmed infant. Chris was a CIA agent who was concerned about Jenelle. Seeing the cyberbullying she had endured, and worried for her safety, Chris got in touch with Jenelle's protective parents, and her devoted boyfriend, warning them that Payne and Hayworth were a danger to Jenelle. He got especially close with Jenelle's mother, Barbara, who thought of Chris like a son, though she had never met him. Chris claimed that surveillance of Payne and Hayworth revealed that the two of them were planning on harming Jenelle, that it was imminent, and that something needed to be done immediately. Chris promised that he would have their back if they were to act to protect Jenelle. And so they did. Jenelle's father, Buddy, and her boyfriend, Jamie, broke into the home of Payne and Hayworth and murdered them in their own home. What the police investigation turned up, though, made this crime all the more terrifying. Jenelle had been Chris the entire time, catfishing her family and her boyfriend to act in vengeance on her behalf. Using forensic linguistics and diving through the brambles that Jenelle laid to cover her tracks, police were able to put together a chilling portrait of a sociopath, made all the more ruthless by the anonymity of her online life. Bizarre and unforgettable, Dennis Brooks examines the crime and trial from all angles, bringing his expertise as the lead prosecutor in the strange and disturbing case.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

From driving a hand-me-down Buick to co-leading a 350-person company and launching a private equity fund, Natalie's story is as inspiring as it is disruptive. She opens up about dropping out of college (despite a full scholarship and two doctorate parents), making her first major financial leap at 21, and navigating love, legacy, and leadership with a partner twice her age.

This episode is a first for Decoder Ring: a live show, recorded at the WBUR Festival in Boston, Massachusetts. Given the setting, we decided to take on a Boston-based cultural mystery: namely, the “Boston movie.” Beginning in the late 1990s and early 2000s, Hollywood has churned out a whole cycle of films drenched in Beantown's particularities, crimes, crops, class conflicts, and accents, from The Departed to The Town. Why does a city smaller than El Paso or Jacksonville loom so large in the cinematic imagination? Why does Boston have a movie subgenre all its own? What makes a Boston movie a Boston movie? With the help of three guests—film critic Ty Burr; Lisa Simmons, founder of the Roxbury International Film Festival; and Boston University linguist Danny Erker—we look closely at the history and heyday of the Boston movie: how The Friends of Eddie Coyle set the template, Good Will Hunting shoved the door wide open, and Mystic River ushered in an imperial phase. We discuss the importance of race and class to the Boston movie and the city itself, the role of homegrown movie stars like Ben Affleck and Mark Wahlberg, and, of course, the best and worst of Boston accents on film.
