She wanted to investigate the social safety nets that allowed Coco's deception to happen in the first place. It's the concept of preventable harm: What makes for a much richer, more noteworthy and useful investigation is whether, in fact, the harm could have been prevented, by whom, and why it wasn't. Especially with true crime, there's a temptation to tell only a good yarn—the sensational one about the scammer. But those stories are like cotton candy — they might taste good at the time, but later you wonder why you bothered.  Avoid creating unintended consequences. One of the most important and interesting lessons from Believable comes from the tricky line Karen and Sara walked. They needed to investigate the validity of Coco's story without casting doubt on the stories of every sex trafficking victim, which could have done significant harm. One way they did this — that I would certainly steal if I were you — was to establish early on what is generally known about a phenomenon or a process. We need to understand what's typical in order to get clarity on what's not. Storyboarding is a visual exercise. Karen's a huge fan of sticky notes—in fact, 3M, if you're listening, please name a line of Post-its after her. To get started, lay out your story beats on Post-its on a wall or in project management software like Trello or Asana. Trust me, you'll be moving things around for your entire production process.

Was she a survivor of sex trafficking at the hands of her mom, a serial victim, Mormon convert, cancer patient, or was she just a liar and a fraud? Coco Berthmann's story is anything but cogent. Whether it was summoned from the depths of mental illness or deviously designed to swindle friends and well-wishers online is this week's burning question.  Learn more about your ad choices.

In this special episode, we bring you a live taping of the first-ever Brechner Speaker Series, co-hosted by the Brechner Center for Freedom of Information and the Bob Graham Center for Public Service, featuring award-winning investigative reporter Jason Leopold, who has broken some of the top stories of our time using the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA.) Nicknamed "the FOIA terrorist" by government officials who are forced to answer his requests, Jason talks about ultimate transparency in government and in his own personal life.  He is the reporter who forced Hillary Clinton's emails to become public, exposed a religion test used by the U.S. Military, and illegal practices by big banks, which became an investigation known as the FinCEN Files. Host, Sara Ganim. Guests, Matt Jacobs, Hub Brown, Jason Leopold. 

Over the last week and a half, we've been fielding a lot of questions about a segment of our podcast that takes on the dominant narrative surrounding the “Penn State Case.” I am not interested in in appearances, as I often say. I am concerned with the truth. The Sandusky case is not something I had any desire in learning about, but once I scratched the surface, it began a deep-dive into the facts and the narrative surrounding the case. I've written about it in the past…taking a position as I have—which unfortunately appears to be the only reasonable position—is an easy way to get one shunned from polite society. So here is my challenge: just listen to the show. You may not want to. You may think it will creep you out…it very well could. But this is an important story and it goes much deeper than a man's guilt or innocence. It exposes the cultural rot that exists within this society…and its cause is probably the opposite of what most people have been told. We have a corporate media structure that exists in today's culture comprised—almost entirely—of truly unimpressive people. These people jump to rash conclusions either out of sheer ignorance or wonton political—read: leftist—motivations. I don't know how we fight back against it, but I believe that being aware of the problem is a good place to start. Part of my initial strategy for building awareness—even in the last show notes page—was to send you back to Episode 77 of Sportlanders the Podcast, which I called “the most important podcast” we'd done up until that point…and start from there. Human nature is such that people would rather insult me than go through the effort of hunting down an old podcast—a task which was not difficult, as I gave the link right in the show notes. Thus, after a rash of BS heading my way, my tactics changed. What we did is compile our material on the case into one single show, edited for clarity and relevance. We encourage you to start here. Today. This “2-in-1 podcast” is designed to help you get the basics of what is going on with this case and to ultimately go and listen to John Ziegler's epic podcast series With the Benefit of Hindsight. Meanwhile, we are praying that all our friends in Florida, the Carolinas, and the rest of the eastern seaboard are safe after the hurricane. In fact, we had to reschedule a podcast because of the hurricane earlier this week.   So, for today, my team cobbled together a “starter kit podcast” for the Penn State–Paterno–Sandusky case as it stands right now. The foremost expert on the case is John Ziegler, who we've had on the show twice so far—once in February and once again in September. You can find those shows in our archives, if you need to, but the whole shootin' match is right here for you.   Go to BrianDOLeary.com for all of those resources and to sign up for our daily newsletter and to be notified whenever new podcasts are launched. Today's episode consists of the two interviews, slightly edited for time and clarity … yet this program you are about to listen to still runs at over two hours. The first part of the program you will hear in a moment was from Episode 77 of Sportlanders the Podcast. The second part was a conversation from within Episode 8 of The O'Leary Review Podcast. Part one is probably what I call a “survey” of the case. John came on the podcast with me in February when I was still very wet behind the ears on the subject and after I had recently finished his podcast series, which is the best resource for the case. You'll hear us mention it several times throughout this show. Go over to John's podcast with Liz Habib—With the Benefit of Hindsight—and there you'll get the whole story. But there is also several days-worth of content to get through. Here, you can get the basic picture in one or two sittings by listening to this show. Part two is from the third part of a long form podcast we did in September that also touched on LIV/PGA golf and the state of college football. The segment we include here is a bit of an update on the Penn State case from where we left it in February, but also incorporates more examples of the corporate media's malfeasance, especially as it relates to the realm of sports.   John Ziegler is a documentary filmmaker, author, Emmy-winning commentator, podcaster, former radio talk show host and television sportscaster John's podcast, which he hosts with Liz Habib, called With the Benefit of Hindsight is over 60 hours of detailed reporting on the case. In this podcast series, “The truth about what happened at Penn State has been locked in a vault for ten years — you've just been given the key.” You can find everything relating to the podcast at FramingPaterno.com Other than his tireless reporting on the truth in the Penn State debacle, which includes a 2012 documentary called The Framing of Joe Paterno, Ziegler is most well- known for his second feature documentary film called Media Malpractice which covered the 2008 presidential election. Ziegler is an alumnus of Georgetown University and grew up in Pennsylvania, though with no direct ties to Penn State University.   The Penn State Case   John's YouTube channel   Clip of the questionable McQueary TD pass in 1995.   Zig's offer to Sara Ganim   Immaculate Reception (Franco Harris) Franco Harris Twitter @francoharrishof   We come at the second part of this discussion from the perspective that Jerry Sandusky is innocent and therefore Joe Paterno's reputation has been dragged through the mud unfairly. The conversation then builds on that notion. John Ziegler's reporting on this case leads to no other conclusion other than Sandusky's innocence and that Paterno was certainly framed and became a fall guy for the ineptitude of the corporate media and the vendetta academia has against sports—college football in particular. If this claim disturbs you at all, one needs to first do some basic research on the facts of the case. Start by listening to this podcast from the beginning! The Penn State Case has proven to be a perfect storm, not a hoax or a conspiracy or a cover-up…the cover-up comes elsewhere with the media and the prosecution. Conspiracy: “a secret plan or agreement between persons for an unlawful or harmful purpose, especially with political motivation, while keeping their agreement secret from the public or from other people affected by it.” Conspiracy Theory: “an explanation for an event or situation that involves a conspiracy by sinister and powerful groups, often political in motivation.” The covid era was not a conspiracy, either. Much like this case it was the dumb leading the stupid to insane conclusions.   “I want to make something clear. I am not raising doubt about what happened. I know what really did and did not happen. What we were told did not happen. It did not. Period! Did not happen! Jerry Sandusky is completely innocent—as insane I myself would have thought that was insane. If you told me that in 2012, I would have thought that was insane. In fact, when people did tell me that in 2012, I thought they were nuts.” —John Ziegler   If you have the time—and you do—listen to the entirety of With the Benefit of Hindsight.   “This whole saga is the worst example in modern history of a complete fraud that was—to this day still—accepted as gospel truth by every single element of the news media and not one of those news media members. Not one of them can tell you even the basic facts of the case… And it doesn't even bother them! It doesn't even bother them that they can't tell you any facts of the case. Because they know the truth because everybody in their bubble said the same thing and even though we know they've been wrong so many times.” —JZ   Reference the Duke–BYU volleyball controversy and then the BYU–University of Oregon football episode. Ziegler was on with Dan Abrams on NewsNation the other night talking about it all.   The Jay Paterno diagram of how the showers in the Lasch Football Building at Penn State were designed. After this case broke, there exist no known photos of the showers and the entire building was renovated in 2012-2013.    Did the prosecution team tell Mike McQueary to “clam up?”   The Ziegler appearance mentioned with Piers Morgan in 2013.   John Ziegler – Twitter   The Sandusky Case Flow Chart   The horrible HBO movie Paterno. Not recommended whatsoever.   How do Hall of Fame coach Dick Vermeil and longtime NFL and college head coach Herm Edwards tie into this case? Can't say for sure, because nobody will talk on the record. Interestingly, Vermeil wrote the foreword to Jerry Sandusky's book, Touched. Herman Edwards, a former player for Vermeil, according to a conversation Vermeil had with Ziegler, told his former coach, “There's a guy in California who's going to break the case wide open…” Probably this guy… Penn Law Fumble — PennLawFumble.info on the Internet Archive Wayback Machine     We talk about the “Ohio State wrestling scandal” involving Ohio congressman Jim Jordan. I don't know of any decent reporting on this after a cursory glance of the search engine results. If anyone has a decent breakdown … of the truth … please leave it in the comments section.   For more… BrianDOLeary.com

With Aaron Fisher locked in as an accuser and the 1998 case with Zach Konstas resurrected prosecutors turned their attention toward finding additional accusers to add weight to their case. In Episode 7 Liz and Zig take us through the exhaustive process prosecutors undertake trying to locate additional accusers. The state was shocked by their lack of success and turned to the media to help them recruit. Patriot News reporter, Sara Ganim penned an article released on March 31, 2011 leaking the existence of a grand jury investigation into Jerry Sandusky. Prosecutors exploited the inexperienced Ganim by using her to leak confidential information into the public domain. Ganim went so far as to email Debra McCord, the mother of Zach Konstas warning her that if additional accusers did not emerge soon the case would be dropped. Magically, four additional accusers emerged shortly thereafter, each of who were known by Zach Konstas and appeared in a photo together in Jerry Sandusky's book Touched. Mark Pendergrast, author of the book The Most Hated Man In America is interviewed live by Liz and Zig. Pendergrast goes into detail about debunked Repressed Memory Therapy, a treatment that was used with almost all of the accusers and supposedly accounted for their evolving stories and testimony. We wrap the episode up with our first exposure to the incredible story of "victim" #4 Brett Houtz. via Knit

Today on The Neil Haley Show, The Total Tutor Neil Haley will interview Greg Grunberg of HBO's Paterno. Paterno centers on Penn State's Joe Paterno in the aftermath of the Jerry Sandusky sexual abuse scandal. After becoming the winningest coach in college football history, Paterno's legacy is challenged and he is forced to face questions of institutional failure in regard to the victims. Academy Award and Emmy Award winner Al Pacino (HBO's You Don't Know Jack; Scent of a Woman) stars in the film's title role. Paterno is Pacino's third HBO collaboration with award-winning director Barry Levinson, having starred in You Don't Know Jack, which earned Pacino a Golden Globe for Best Actor and an Emmy for acting and Levinson an Emmy for directing. Pacino also starred in the title role in HBO's Phil Spector, which Levinson executive produced. Levinson directs Paterno from a script by Debora Cahn and John C. Richards. The film also stars Riley Keough (The Girlfriend Experience, Logan Lucky) as Sara Ganim, the 23-year-old journalist who first reported on the Sandusky case for The Patriot-News, a daily newspaper serving the Harrisburg, Pa. metropolitan area; Kathy Baker (The Age of Adaline) as Sue Paterno, Joe's wife; Greg Grunberg (Star Wars: The Force Awakens) and Larry Mitchell (Brawl in Cell Block 99) as Joe's sons, Scott and Jay Paterno; and Annie Parisse (Friends from College, Person of Interest) as Mary Kay Paterno, Joe's daughter.
