Fourteen months between Eric Richins' death and Kouri's arrest. During that window, she closed a real estate deal the day after finding him dead, hosted a gathering at the home where EMTs had pronounced him, Googled luxury prisons and insurance timelines, published a children's grief book, and went on television to promote it.Most analysis focuses on whether the grief was real or performed. This episode argues the answer is both — simultaneously — in different compartments of a psychology that doesn't process deception the way most people understand it. The lie isn't a mask held in place with effort. It's a migration. The person moves into the new version of events and inhabits it. And in that version, the grief is genuine.The second installment of a five-part psychological series examining every phase of Kouri Richins' decision-making. The 911 call, the Google searches, the book, the TV tour — and a brain that can produce sincere tenderness for children it orphaned.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

What does success really look like for a writer? In this episode, I share a surprisingly encouraging reminder from a 1951 editorial in Galaxy Science Fiction: even at the highest magazine rates of the day, it took "a stupendous amount of writing" to support a writer. That may not sound comforting at first — but it is. Because it means writing was never easy. False starts, abandoned drafts, stories that don't quite work, and the sheer volume of practice required are not signs that you're doing it wrong. They are part of the work. A gentle but honest episode about ambition, effort, StoryADay May, avoiding burnout, and building a writing life that makes room for a stupendous amount of writing. This Week's Question What will you write this week? How many times will you show up for your writing? Don't go from zero to sixty. Increase your commitment a little. Give yourself the chance to discover what happens when writing becomes something you return to, again and again.

In this episode, Linda explores the emotional, energetic and entrepreneurial realities of living with ADHD.   From navigating takers and energy‑drainers to understanding why neurodivergent people are so often misunderstood, this episode is packed with truth, humour, and practical wisdom for ADHD women and creative entrepreneurs. Linda shares openly about motherhood, marriage, business ownership, and the invisible mental load women carry. She also breaks down why automation is essential (not rude), why joy can't be bottled, and how to build a business that supports your brain instead of burning it out. 1. You curate your own life algorithm Linda reflects on how we unconsciously invite certain patterns and people into our lives. “We are in fact the authors of our own story but actually we are the curators of our own algorithm.” 2. ADHDers are used to being misinterpreted Neurodivergent people often communicate openly and literally which others misread. “We always have been misinterpreted.” 3. Protect your joy, not everyone can hold it Some people become alienated when you're doing well. “Sometimes it's better to keep it under your hat… celebrate with the right people.” 4. Boundaries + clarity = ADHD business survival ADHD entrepreneurs thrive when expectations are clear. “We need clarity. We need boundaries and we need clarity.” 5. The ADHD business paradox ADHDers struggle to live in the present in life but get stuck in the present in business. “We tend to see the now in our businesses… we're not looking at the next steps.” 6. Automation is not impersonal, it's essential Linda dismantles the myth that automation removes the personal touch. “If I have an auto reply… go f*** yourself because I am being personal in my own life.” 7. The invisible mental load Women carry a constant checklist in their heads and ADHD amplifies it. “Have you got that mental load of is X, Y, and Z in the fridge…?” 8. Joy is fleeting and that's okay ADHD emotional cycles shift fast. “Maybe in half an hour I'm going to feel like s***… you cannot bottle that joy.” 9.

Last episode, you designed the set. You grabbed your clipboard, put on your headset, and built the environment for the Star of your show to thrive. Now it's time to step in front of the camera — because the film crew just showed up, and they're capturing everything. In this electrifying follow-up episode, April Garcia takes the Set Design framework to the next level with a challenge that will make you think twice about every decision you make this week. Are you ready to deliver your best performance yet? Key Takeaways: The Film Crew is Rolling: Imagine a film crew followed you from the moment you woke up this morning. They were in the car. They were at the gym. They were there when you talked to your kids, your partner, your team. What did they capture? Would you be proud of what ends up on screen? You Are the CEO of YOU Inc.: April references Keith Cunningham's The Road Less Stupid to introduce one of the most empowering — and sobering — reframes in the show's history. You are the CEO of your own life. That means you own the results across every department: Sales, R&D, Health, Finances, Relationships, Education, and Personal Development. Every win and every loss is a direct reflection of your management — or your mismanagement. The Board of Directors is Watching: Whether it's a film crew or a board of directors reviewing your performance this month — they saw every phone call, every distraction, every moment you showed up fully and every moment you didn't. What would their report say about the leading character? Two Reasons This Exercise Works: It raises your game. When you imagine someone watching, you naturally bring more intention, more energy, and more excellence to everything you do. It empowers you. The power is entirely in your hands. No one to blame. No circumstances to hide behind. You are the hero — or you're not. That choice belongs to no one else. No One Else is Playing You: This is the line that lands hardest. There is no understudy. No one else stepping into your role as a parent, a leader, a partner, a builder. Only you. And that means only you can decide to show up like the star the role deserves. The Challenge This Week: Carry the film crew with you everywhere you go. Let the imagined presence of that camera be the standard you hold yourself to. Deliver a performance you are proud of — not for the audience, but because you decided to be the hero of your own story. Resource Mentioned:

In this episode of Man Vs. Marriage, Quincy Moran challenges men to see the power they truly hold in their homes, their marriages, and their legacy. What Quincy calls “superhero status” is not fantasy. It is the real-life authority a man has to change, lead, heal, and redirect the trajectory of his family by first changing himself.This episode dives deep into how the past can either serve as a professor or become a prison. Quincy shares a personal story about how childhood pain and false beliefs shaped his identity for decades, and how confronting those lies opened the door to real transformation.If you have ever felt trapped by your past, stuck in disappointment, or unsure how to become the man you know you are meant to be, this episode is for you.This is a call to stop living from old wounds, stop adapting to misery, and start making the decisions that build a stronger marriage, stronger family, and stronger legacy.In This EpisodeQuincy covers:Why a man's power in his home is “superhero status”The difference between your past being a professor or a prisonWhy who you are is not who you have to beHow people acclimate to misery, disappointment, and driftThe internal resistance that always comes with real changeHow childhood wounds can quietly shape adulthood, marriage, confidence, and identityQuincy's personal story of people-pleasing and feeling like he was never enoughThe hidden suffering of regret versus the meaningful suffering of responsibilityWhy change begins with one decisionHow a man can change the trajectory of his family legacyWhy leadership in the home starts with personal transformationHow faith, responsibility, and action create lasting changeKey Takeaways1. Your past has power, but it belongs behind youYour history matters, but it was never meant to rule your future. It can teach you, but it should not imprison you.2. Misery becomes normal if you let itMen often acclimate to disappointment, pain, drifting, and dysfunction until it feels normal. That comfort in misery is dangerous.3. Change always comes with resistanceWhen you start swimming upstream, resistance is part of the process. Feeling resistance does not mean you are on the wrong path.4. You are not stuck being who you've beenOne of the central truths of this episode is simple: who you are is not who you have to be.5. There are two kinds of sufferingYou will suffer either way:the suffering of regretor the suffering of responsibility and growthOne path weakens you. The other transforms you.6. Your decisions shape your family's futureThe decision you make today can change the trajectory of your marriage, your children, and your legacy.7. Real leadership starts withinBefore a man leads his family well, he must confront the lies, wounds, fears, and patterns within himself.Memorable QuotesThese are strong pull quotes for captions, thumbnails, or graphics:“The power a man holds might as well be superhero status.”“Your past can be a professor.”“Your past can continue to be a prison for you. Which do you choose?”“Who you are is not who you have to be.”“We acclimate in our misery.”“One path leads to regret. The other leads to responsibility.”“Today is the day I will become the hero in my own story.”“You have the power and the authority to change today.”“Be the hero in your own story.”“The work is worth it.”Who This Episode Is ForThis episode is for:Husbands who feel stuck in old patternsMen carrying pain from childhood, family history, or personal failureMen who are tired of drifting and ready to leadFathers who want to change the direction of their family legacyMen of faith who want to align transformation with responsibility and actionCall to ActionIf this episode challenged you, send it to another man who needs it.Share it.

In 2020, a doctor handed me a scan of my brain. It showed 40 lesions. That was my "line of demarcation"—the moment my world split into "before" and "after" the MS diagnosis. In that cold, clinical room, I realized that my voice (my Sauti) was the one thing the disease couldn't take, but it was up to me to make sure it was heard. This Sony ZV E-10 isn't just a piece of tech I bought to look "professional." It is a weapon of Fearless Productivity. It's the tool I chose to ensure that even on the days when my body feels like it's failing, my message—and your potential—continues to rise. But Fearless Productivity isn't about being perfectly healthy; it's about being perfectly purposeful. I bought the Sony ZV E-10 as my first vlogging camera because I refused to let my story end in a hospital bed. I needed a way to amplify my Sauti (Voice) while I still had the breath to use it. In this video, I'm not just reviewing specs. I'm showing you how I use this lens to document my Epic Quests and why you don't need a perfect life to start creating an impact. Stop being a character. Pick up your pen—or your camera—and become the author. #SautiGlobal #FearlessProductivity #SonyZVE10 #MSWarrior #YourVoiceRises #NarrativeIdentity

On episode 172, I sit down with my friend Mark Harper — Air Force veteran, executive producer, and founder of GigLine Media — to unpack how a group of military storytellers pulled off one of the most ambitious PSA campaigns the VA has ever attempted. Mark's journey runs from combat camera documenting the wars in Iraq and Africa to helping build We Are The Mighty into one of the most influential online media platforms for veterans before launching his own advertising agency. In this conversation, we dig into the real mechanics of representation in media — why veteran stories should be written, produced, and directed by the people who actually lived them — and how that philosophy shaped the VA's bold “Face Your Dragon” campaign. Mark and I break down how he partnered with director Ryan Curtis, producer Chase Milsap, and star Rudy Reyes to build a piece of storytelling that's unapologetically cinematic, deeply creative, and unmistakably direct. We talk about the risks of pitching a VFX dragon for a government campaign, the realities of producing high-end visual effects on a shoestring budget, and why veterans working as writers, producers, and creators matters more than ever.

Hello to you listening in Samish, Washington!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga.Imagine this: a storyteller in a room full of litigators. No! Not alligators - litigators. Trial attorneys who are curious about learning the tools to engage with their own narrative so that they could connect to the stories of their plaintiff clients - not as lawyers but as people. Once they know how to access their own stories they can engage the experiences of the jury, find common ground with the plaintiff's story and, be well on their way to winning the trial.Over 30 years my clients have learned that before you tell someone else's story be very clear about your own. Do the hard work of an archeological dig on your narrative. Once we understand how our narrative shapes and re-shapes our life, our purpose, the relationships we have with others we are well on our way to knowing what we stand for, what we won't stand for, and how we can be of service. Our story can become one of advocacy, leadership, and healing. Our story can shift attitudes, behaviors, even cultures.CURIOUS TO LEARN MORE?

Before becoming a city manager, Chris Mann built a career around public affairs, public relations, and political campaign messaging. In this episode, we talk about how important it is for city managers and other public sector executives to cultivate an image or identity that they can use to differentiate themselves during the job search process. By narrating your own story, you will be able to illustrate and articulate how your skills and abilities uniquely position for success. We also spend time talking about how we both pivoted from the world of politics into the city management profession and walked a very non-traditional path.   SHOW NOTES: Links to Chris Mann's LinkedIn profile and Gov360 Podcast Previous interview with Chris: Ep. 127: Knowing Your Why & Being Prepared to Execute Subscribe to my FREE weekly newsletter.

Join Angela and Simon Alexander Ong, a life and business coach and author of the book Energize, for a discussion on how to transform your life by managing your energy rather than your time, focussing on the power of perception and mindset in achieving an "extraordinary life".  Simon shares his personal journey from the financial sector during the 2008 crisis to becoming a coach, illustrating how obstacles can be reframed as opportunities. They also look at practical strategies for goal setting, maintaining consistency over intensity, and building sustainable systems for long-term success in both personal and professional spheres. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Energy Management Over Time Management: True productivity and the ability to "bend reality" come from managing your energetic state and perception rather than just managing your calendar. Consistency Trumps Intensity: Success is rarely a straight line; it is more like a maze where long-term consistency in habits and systems is more effective than short-term bursts of intense effort. The Power of Pronoia: Reframing your perspective from paranoia (the world is out to get you) to "pronoia" (the universe is conspiring in your favour) significantly changes how you respond to challenges and opportunities. Value and Service as Business Foundations: In business, shift the focus from selling to providing value and service; Simon suggests that money is simply an "echo of value".

In episode 634 of the Fraternity Foodie Podcast, we find out why today's college students don't often see the value of their own story, what college students should do if they get writer's block, how storytelling shifts the mindset from selling to attracting, why we should focus on the deeper "why" behind your chapter culture, how to attract more values-aligned members, how organizations can balance honesty with the fear of being judged or misunderstood, how can fraternities and sororities define who they are for — without sounding exclusive or unwelcoming, her advice for graduating seniors who want to leave behind more than just a position title, one simple exercise fraternity or sorority members could do at their next meeting for authenticity and connection, and how to begin the process if students have an idea for a book they want to write. Enjoy!

"You don't build courage by avoiding what you're afraid of. You build courage by moving through it." -Diane Gansauer Our hosts, Stephanie McCullough and Kevin Gaines, explore an extraordinary midlife reinvention with Diane Gansauer, who traded a high-profile government position for one of the few full-time funeral celebrant roles in the United States. Her transformation proves that stepping away from prestige can lead to real personal fulfillment! "I became more effective and a happier person," Diane reflects on leaving her role as deputy director of a Colorado state agency overseeing multimillion-dollar conservation grants. The political pressures and visibility of managing programs for Great Outdoors Colorado had worn thin. "What I liked best was really the work one-on-one with families," she says. Her journey to funeral celebrancy began serendipitously when a wealthy philanthropist, whose ranch had received conservation grants, learned about her occasional memorial officiating. This connection led to a position with North America's largest funeral services provider, where she ultimately celebrated over 400 lives. The role required mastering the art of storytelling. Working with grieving families, she learned to capture the essence of lives lived. That's a skill that demands deep listening and authentic connection. This was intimate work that stood in stark contrast to her previous bureaucratic responsibilities. But Diane's reinvention didn't stop there. Upon retirement, she embarked on the Continental Divide Trail, completing 3,100 miles from the Mexico border to Canada. "It doesn't matter what other people are doing, it's between you and the mountain." Her experiences culminated in her book "The Waypoints," in which she weaves together insights from honoring 400 lives and conquering thousands of miles of trail. Midlife transitions aren't about climbing higher on conventional ladders. Sometimes they're about finding entirely different mountains to climb, ones that align with who we're becoming rather than who we thought we should be!

Think courage means being fearless? Think again....In this Badass Debrief, Marie unpacks the boldest lessons from Diane Gansauer's 3,100-mile solo hike at 61 years old—and shows how they translate into leadership moves you can use right now. From facing fear in grizzly country to realizing persistence beats speed, these are the truths that separate ordinary leaders from badass ones....✨ Theme: Resilience Stories + Mindset Breakthroughs...We're talking about leading with courage even when fear tags along, letting go of emotional baggage that weighs you down, and refusing to let anyone else write your story....You'll hear:

If you're trying to sort out some hard things this fall, if you're trying to figure out what you need to store up for the winter, if you're wanting to hang out to the changing leaves as long as possible before they die…. Well, I really think you're going to love this one. Today we'll answer the question, “What is the fall and how do I define it in my life?” Pastor Mike Kelsey's wise voice is helping us think about the beauty we can find in the fall even when things feel like they're changing so much. We're starting to look at what things to store up for the winter and ultimately asking God what it looks like to flourish in every single season, including the fall.

In this powerful episode, bestselling author T L Swan shares her incredible journey from financial ruin to literary success. After losing everything in a failed business venture, T L discovered a box of stories she'd written as a teenager and made a life-changing decision: she would write a book using a free 30-day trial of Microsoft Word because she couldn't afford to buy the program.That single decision led to a career that's produced 25 novels, millions of copies sold worldwide, and bestseller status in multiple countries. But T L's story goes beyond the numbers. She opens up about the mindset shifts that transformed her life, including how reading "The Secret" became a turning point during her darkest days.We also dive into a topic that affects countless women but rarely gets discussed openly: how perimenopause and menopause can derail careers and creativity.

In this episode of The Widow Podcast, I'm joined by the wonderful Kerry Baggott as she shares her powerful story of love, loss, and finding herself again. Kerry met her husband Jeremy as a teenager, and together they built a beautiful life in Dubai with their two daughters. When Jeremy was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in his late forties, everything changed. They returned to the UK, navigated treatment and remission, and cherished precious time together, until Jeremy died peacefully at home, surrounded by love and light. But Kerry's journey didn't end there. Alongside the loss of Jeremy, she also experienced the deaths of her stepdad, her aunt, and her father in quick succession. For a long time, she kept herself busy, raising her daughters, moving house, running marathons, even fronting a national charity campaign. It wasn't until she hit rock bottom that she realised she hadn't allowed herself to truly grieve. In this moving conversation, Kerry and I talk about what it means to reach that breaking point and how it can also be the start of something new. She shares her experience of delayed grief, the impact of multiple losses, and the importance of language, support, and friendship in rediscovering who you are after loss. We discuss: • Living with loss after the death of a soulmate to multiple myeloma • What happens when grief is delayed, and why staying busy can't keep it away forever • Coping with the weight of multiple losses and the layers of grief they bring • How bereavement can shake your sense of self, resilience, and daily life • Finding strength through friendship, community, and shared support • Shifting from self-criticism towards kindness and self-compassion • Moving forward while holding on to love, joy, and hope If you've ever felt like you've “lost yourself” after bereavement, Kerry's honesty and courage will remind you that healing isn't about reinventing who you are, but rediscovering the person you've always been. Awakening Hope I'd love you to join me for Awakening Hope, a free five-day immersive experience for widows and surviving partners, running 22–26 September 2025. Together we'll explore how to face feelings, cultivate self-compassion, and rediscover who we are after loss.

Police Shooting Myths Shattered: From His Own Story. Special Episode. When it comes to policing in America, myths often dominate the public conversation. Many believe law enforcement officers are “trigger happy,” quick to fire their weapons at the first sign of danger. Others assume that trauma only takes its toll after decades in uniform. But as former Roswell, Georgia police officer John Saporsky explains, both assumptions couldn't be further from the truth. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. In a candid conversation shared on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and streaming on Apple and Spotify, Saporsky speaks openly about the Police Shooting Myths Shattered, From His Own Story. His journey highlights the danger, recovery, career, and experience that shaped his life both in and beyond law enforcement. He is the guest on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, available for free on their website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and most podcast platforms. Early Career and Trauma in Georgia “People think trauma comes late in a career, but mine started early,” Saporsky says. As a young officer with the Roswell Police Department in Georgia, he faced situations that most officers never experience in their entire careers. From a near-death experience in a traffic accident involving a stolen police car to brake failure in a high-speed pursuit, Saporsky's early days in uniform were filled with life-threatening moments. Look for supporting stories about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . He recalls a terrifying incident with brake fade, a dangerous reduction in braking ability caused by overheating. “When the brakes failed, it could have been fatal. Those are the moments the public never sees,” he explains. Police Shooting Myths Shattered: From His Own Story. Special Episode. And then there were the shootings. Saporsky was directly involved in critical incidents that tested his judgment and courage. Research from the National Police Foundation underscores just how rare such experiences are. In a study of 1,006 police shootings across 47 departments, four out of five officers had never fired their weapons in the line of duty before. Saporsky's encounters placed him in the small percentage who had. Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast platforms. Shattering Police Shooting Myths Saporsky emphasizes that officers are not eager to use deadly force. “Most of us hope we'll never have to fire our weapon,” he says. “When it does happen, it changes you forever.” By sharing his story, he aims to dismantle the stereotype that police officers are reckless or insensitive in dangerous situations. Instead, he highlights the human side of danger and recovery—the side the public rarely hears about in the evening news or viral social media debates. Life After Policing After years of service, Saporsky decided to transition out of law enforcement. But stepping away from the badge wasn't simple. “Leaving the profession can feel like losing your identity,” he reflects. Police Shooting Myths Shattered: From His Own Story. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website , Apple Podcasts , Spotify and most major podcast platforms. That personal struggle led him to create Law Enforcement Connect LLC in 2021, a platform designed to help officers transition into civilian life and new careers. “Like military veterans, law enforcement professionals face unique challenges. They need guidance, resources, and a community that understands,” Saporsky says. Through interviews with veterans, business leaders, psychologists, and researchers, Saporsky developed a framework for career transition that goes beyond simple job searches. His mission is to coach, mentor, and connect officers who are moving from service to civilian life. Roswell Police Department's Legacy Saporsky credits much of his professional foundation to his time with the Roswell Police Department, which is known for its focus on community policing and public safety. With a population of nearly 93,000, Roswell is one of Georgia's safest cities and continues to embrace the principles of 21st Century Policing and Procedural Justice. The full podcast episode is streaming now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. “The men and women I served with were dedicated, professional, and deeply committed to the community,” Saporsky notes. “I'll always carry those lessons with me.” Police Shooting Myths Shattered: From His Own Story. From Trauma to Purpose Today, Saporsky uses his platform to speak openly about his experiences and to encourage others to do the same. His story resonates across Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and beyond. “Police officers don't just need to survive the dangers of the job,” he says. “They need to thrive after it. That's why I share my story, because myths need to be shattered, and real stories need to be heard.” The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms.

In early 1948, Los Angeles couples were terrorized by a series of robberies and car thefts committed by a criminal the press dubbed “The Red Light Bandit,” a reference to the red light he used to flag down his victims. Fortunately, the bandit's crime spree was quickly cut short when police arrested Caryl Chessman, a Los Angeles resident with a criminal history going back to his teen years.Chessman was charged with multiple counts of robbery, rape, grand theft, and because of an unusual interpretation of events, he was also charged with kidnapping. Due to the attachment of kidnapping, several of the charges were defined as a capital offense and Chessman was convicted and sentenced to death.In the years following his conviction, Chessman's death sentence became a source of considerable controversy—an already controversial sentence applied in a non-lethal case due to a bizarre application of the law. For ten years, Chessman fought the sentence all the way to the US Supreme Court, with support from a wide variety of sources, both notable and ordinary.

She also shares how learning Italian in prison—from a Harry Potter book and a borrowed dictionary—became an unlikely act of agency and self-preservation. Along the way, Amanda explains why police deception undermines justice, how storytelling can turn pain into meaning, and why accepting the apology you'll never receive is a way to stop living in deficit.

The late Edmund White's breakthrough 1982 novel is the first in a trilogy of autobiographical novels that depict key eras in his life as a gay man. A Boy's Own Story is, as you might expect, about a boy - a boy whose longing for the men in his life leads to powerful (though perhaps not entirely positive) self-understanding.This episode is sponsored by Squarespace.

Episode 373: In the shadowy annals of North American crime, few names evoke as much dread as H.H. Holmes, a master manipulator, a conman, and a predator who thrived in the chaos of a rapidly changing world and the man often called America's first serial killer. Born Herman Webster Mudgett, Holmes's reign of terror began in Chicago, where he constructed his infamous “Murder Castle”—a labyrinth of hidden rooms, trapdoors, and secret passageways designed to lure and dispatch his victims during the bustling days of the 1893 World's Fair. But Holmes's evil did not respect borders; his murderous path would ultimately stretch into Canada. During his murderous career, in 1894, Holmes claimed the lives of his accomplice, Benjamin Pitezel, 38, and three of his youngest victims, Benjamin's children: Howard Pitezel, 8, in Indianapolis, and, later in Toronto, Pitezel's daughters, Alice Pitezel, 15, and Nellie Pitezel, 11. Their tragic deaths in a quiet Toronto neighbourhood forever linked Holmes's legacy to both sides of the border. Sources: The Holmes-Pitezel case by Frank P Geyer | Internet ArchiveH. H.

Listen to the rest of this premium episode by subscribing at patreon.com/knowyourenemy.If you pay any attention at all to political news, it's been hard to avoid Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson's recent bombshell of a book, Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again, which offers behind-the-scenes reporting from the White House, halls of Congress, the campaign trail, and beyond about Joe Biden's health, mental and physical, and the efforts to conceal just how bad it had gotten from his Cabinet, Congress, and, most damningly, the American people. Much of the coverage of the book has focused on a handful of sensational examples—Biden supposedly not recognizing George Clooney at a fundraiser, or forgetting the names of staffers who'd worked for him for decades—but that's unfortunate. What's most shocking is the book's cumulative force, the sheer number of details that make it undoubtedly clear Biden was not fit to run again in 2024, or, for that matter, be President. As you won't be surprised to learn, Matt eagerly read Original Sin, and he and Sam discuss what the take-aways from the book should really be, what it says about the state of the Democratic Party, what it reveals about the media, and more.Jake Tapper & Alex Thompson, Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again (2025)Matthew Sitman, "The 'Weekend at Bernie's' Primary," Commonweal, Mar 3, 2020Sam Adler-Bell, "The Tragic Legacy of the Mourner-in-Chief," New York Magazine, Jan 14, 2025Edmund White, City Boy: My Life in New York During the 1960s & 70s (2009)— My Lives: A Memoir (2005)— A Boy's Own Story (1982)— The Beautiful Room is Empty (1988)— The Farewell Symphony (1997)— Nocturnes for the King of Naples (1978)
