‘Tell Me If You're Seeing Someone Else' — Karen Read's Texts Read Aloud in Court What happens when a murder case becomes more about the investigator than the evidence? In this episode of Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski is joined by Defense Attorney Bob Motta of Defense Diaries to unravel the legal chaos surrounding the Karen Read trial. With Proctor—the lead investigator—accused of bias and misconduct, and crucial physical evidence like hair and taillight fragments pointing in conflicting directions, the courtroom becomes a battleground for credibility. Is this a textbook example of reasonable doubt, or a tragic accident wrapped in conspiracy and bad policing? Motta dives deep into why this case is less about what happened and more about what can be proven, and exposes the strategic decisions that could make or break the defense. This isn't just another true crime episode—it's a raw look at how fragile justice can be when personal bias contaminates the process. #KarenRead #HiddenKillersPodcast #BobMotta #DefenseDiaries #JohnOKeefe #ProctorInvestigation #ReasonableDoubt #TrueCrimeAnalysis #CorruptCops #LegalDrama Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

One of my favorite reads of 2024 was The Myth Makers by John Hendrix.This gorgeous graphic novel tells the story of the remarkable friendship of C. S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien.

What comes to mind when you think of C. S. Lewis's Narnia and J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings?There's a good chance a lot of us are seeing very similar pictures. We're seeing images that swept us into the whimsical world of wonder beyond the wardrobe (and into the Shire). The beloved images of these childhood stories remain with us. But it's likely we don't know much about the woman who created the iconic illustrations of the White Witch, Mr. Tumnus and Lucy, and the Pevensie children having tea with Mr. and Mrs. Beaver.Her name is Pauline Baynes, and her artwork brought the worlds of C. S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien to life.Today, author and illustrator Katie Wray Schon is here to share her gorgeous new book, Painting Wonder: How Pauline Baynes Illustrated the Worlds of C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien. This stunning picture book biography tells the story of the woman behind the pictures of Narnia that we know and love so much. You're going to want to add it to your shelves!In this episode, you'll hear: How Katie's own creative journey led her to Pauline Baynes's story The joys and challenges of illustrating a book about an illustrator Katie's advice for holding onto creativity as a source of enrichment in your life, even as a busy mamaLearn more about Sarah Mackenzie:Read-Aloud RevivalWaxwing BooksSubscribe to the NewsletterFind the rest of the show notes at: readaloudrevival.com/woman-behind-narnia

I'm pretty sure by the end you'll want to!

S. Lewis to his children inspired Andrew to go after his dream of writing stories for kidsThe tons of tiny, often behind-the-scenes choices that go into creating a fantasy worldWhy Andrew doesn't write with a specific message in mind, but wants readers to connect with his books in their own wayLearn more about Sarah Mackenzie:Read-Aloud RevivalWaxwing BooksSubscribe to the NewsletterFind the rest of the show notes at: readaloudrevival.com/wingfeather
