Sarah Weinman tells a shocking story of young love, heartbreak, rape and reunion with the world watching through the eyes of the court.
From Sarah Weinman, author of Scoundrel and The Real Lolita, comes an eye-opening story about the first major spousal rape trial in America and urgent questions about women's rights that would reverberate for decades.In December 1978, Greta Rideout bravely testified that her husband, John, whom she still lived with, had raped her. She was the first woman in United States history to do this, at a time when the idea of “marital rape” seemed ludicrous to many Americans and was a crime in only four states. After a quick and conservative trial acquitted John Rideout and a defense lawyer lambasted that rape was perhaps "the risk of being married," Greta was ridiculed and scorned from public life, while John went on to be a repeat offender. Thrust into the national spotlight, Greta and her story would become a national sensation, a symbol of a country's unrelenting and targeted hate toward women and a court system designed to fail them at every turn.A now little-remembered trial deserving of close, wide, and lasting attention, Sarah Weinman turns her signature intelligence and journalistic rigor to the enduring impact of this case. Oregon v. Rideout directly inspired feminist activists, who fought state by state for marital rape laws, a battle that was not won in all fifty until as recently as 1993. Mixing archival research and new reporting involving Greta, other women victimized by John in later years, as well as the activists battling the courts in parallel, Without Consentembodies vociferous debates about gender, sexuality, and power, while highlighting the damaging and inherent misogyny of American culture then and still now.Book: https://www.sarahweinman.com/book/without-consent/Instagram: @sarahweinmanBluesky: @sarahweinman.com NYT review of Without Consent: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/11/books/review/without-consent-sarah-weinman.htmlWNYC conversation about the book: https://www.wnyc.org/story/the-groundbreaking-case-that-helped-make-spousal-rape-illegal/Salem Statesman-Journal feature on the book: https://www.statesmanjournal.com/story/news/local/2025/11/22/without-consent-highlights-history-of-1978-salem-spousal-rape-trial/87272985007/My op-ed for the Globe & Mail about marital rape in Canada: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/article-spousal-rape-remains-all-too-misunderstood/Website: https://peculiarbookclub.com/Newsletter: http://eepurl.com/ixJJ2YVIP Membership: https://payhip.com/PeculiarBookClubYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@PeculiarBookClub/streamsBluesky: @peculiarbookclub.bsky.socialFacebook: facebook.com/groups/peculiarbooksclubInstagram: @thepeculiarbookclub

In this episode, writer Sarah Weinman walks Moira and Adrian through the story of the 1978 case Oregon v. Rideout and how spousal rape became a crime in the US. Weinman's book about the case -- Without Consent -- is out now. A moving, upsetting story about how the judicial system keeps pace (or doesn't) with legislation; how media shape how we think about social progress; and how that progress can come from strange places. PLEASE NOTE: This one comes with basically all the trigger and content warnings.

Cincy Urban Farm isn't a commercial business. It's a farm-based food access point that strengthens food security. It has operated peacefully and responsibly for four years with full community support. Closing it would set a dangerous precedent for other small farmers and local food producers across Ohio. An appeal hearing is scheduled at Sharonville City Hall on Wednesday, November 12th at 6:30pm. I'll be there.

This episode is one that Matt and Sam have been anticipating for years: after two-and-a-half decades of research and writing, Sam Tanehaus's authoritative biography of William F. Buckley, Jr.—youthful booster of America First, enfant terrible at Yale, CIA agent, founder of National Review, best-selling author, brilliant television host, and more—has blessedly arrived. Buckley: The Life and the Revolution That Changed America stretches to just under 900 pages of text, before you get to the endnotes and index, an appropriately epic biography of an overstuffed, consequential life, containing far more than could be covered in a single episode. This conversation focuses on the challenges of writing a biography of a man whose archives rivaled those found in presidential libraries; Tanenhaus's discovery of a newspaper the Buckley's owned in South Carolina that essentially was a mouthpiece for the White Citizens' Council, and the Southern roots of Buckley's "northern segregationist" politics; the influence of his oilman father, who fled the revolution in Mexico and instilled anti-communist politics, as well as the Catholic faith, in his children; Buckley's role in forging the post-war conservative movement, through National Review and his frenetic endeavors as a columnist and speaker; the controversies, disappointments, failures, and triumphs of his decades-long career; and more.

Dogs Are Smarter Than People: Writing Life, Marriage and Motivation
Dogs are Smarter Than PeopleThere's an old NPR article about writing bestsellers that quotes critic Ruth Franklin's overview of American best-sellers as saying "No possible generalization can be made regarding the 1,150 books that have appeared in the top 10 of the fiction best-seller list since its inception."In his book Hit Lit, which we've been talking about, James W. Hall disagrees, talking about 12 elements that he thinks really make those super-popular-multi-million-copy bestsellers in American fiction in the past 100 years or so.We've been talking about that a lot. Hall analyzed Gone With the Wind, Peyton Place, To Kill a Mockingbird, Valley of the Dolls, The Godfather, The Exorcist, Jaws, The Dead Zone, The Hunt for Red October, The Firm, The Bridges of Madison County and The Da Vinci Code.And I just wanted to have a moment to regroup because I found an old interview with Hall and Marc Schultz on Publisher's Weeklywhere he talks about what element he found in those 12 top selling books that surprised him.He says, “One I didn't expect to find is something we came to call the Golden Country, which is a phrase from Orwell's 1984. Winston, the protagonist, trapped in this dull empty world, has created in his imagination this edenic, natural, beautiful landscape called the Golden Country. It's his ideal world. And not just in these 12 books, but in all the bestsellers we looked at, there is always an image of a place or a time that's this idealized, edenic, natural landscape that serves a reference point for much of the story.”We've talked a bit about that in the last week. There's this idealized want of an idealized world or time that we long for, right? And the characters in our books long for it, too.In that same interview, Hall says, “But the ingredients themselves remain the same, as Americans we're really reading, and have wanted to read, permutations of the same book for the last 100 years, and probably into the foreseeable future.”And it doesn't have to necessarily be awesome writing for us Americans to want to read these books.“Grace Metalious, author of Peyton Place, once cracked, "If I'm a lousy writer, then a hell of a lot of people have got lousy taste.'” Sarah Weinman writes, “What Metalious and her kin in best-sellerdom really possess, as Hall explains so well in Hit Lit, is the power to connect with readers through their hearts and guts as much as, if not more than, their minds.”It's about your heart, humans. About your heart.DOG TIP FOR LIFEAs we learned from the raccoons, don't be aggressive if you don't get your food or else they call the sheriff on you.RANDOM THOUGHT LINK ALL ABOUT A WOMAN CORNERED BY 100 RACCOONS.

Sarah Weinman joins me to talk about true crime, a genre which I absolutely cannot read! We talk about how true crime “can be a catalyst for social change” and why people, especially White women, obsessed with true crime.Plus we talk about Sarah's latest books, Scoundrel, which has a surprising (to me) literary angle for true crime, and the anthology, Evidence of Things Seen. We discuss at length looking at the true crime genre as a whole, and exploring what true crime can do better ethically and socially.VERY IMPORTANT INFO: We are talking about true crime in a larger context socially and ethically, but we also mention specific cases, and when possible we name the victims. We also talk frankly about the mental health costs of doing this kind of writing and investigative journalism.The timestamps for when we mention specific cases, which include murders of young people, and talk about mental health are:13:45.7119:19.55624:24.12632:43.584Please look after yourself, ok?Music: purple-planet.com Join our Patreon for complete mayhem, shenanigans, and more!

"What is it about the culture that has conditioned us to favor the wants and needs and desires, however horrible, of a serial murderer, as opposed to--most often--the women and girls that they harmed and killed?" This week, Sarah Weinman takes us on a backpacking trip through true crime history and American pop culture, and tells us about the myths and realities of criminal profiling—and why they're sometimes so hard to pull apart. And finally, we ask the ultimate taboo question: are serial killers boring?You can find Sarah's newsletter here.Articles discussed:The Case of the Fake SherlockWhat lies beneath: the secrets of France's top serial killer expertSupport You're Wrong About:Bonus Episodes on PatreonBuy cute merchWhere else to find us:Sarah's other show, You Are Good[YWA co-founder] Mike's other show, Maintenance PhaseLinks:https://thecrimelady.substack.com/https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/richard-walter-criminal-profiler-fraud.htmlhttps://www.theguardian.com/news/2021/nov/09/secrets-of-top-serial-killer-expert-france-stephane-bourgoinhttps://www.patreon.com/IfBooksPodhttps://www.teepublic.com/stores/youre-wrong-abouthttps://www.paypal.com/paypalme/yourewrongaboutpodhttps://www.podpage.com/you-are-goodhttp://maintenancephase.comSupport the show

Bestselling true crime writers Liza Rodman and Jennifer Jordan, authors of "The Babysitter: My Summers with a Serial Killer," join "Mind Over Murder" podcast hosts Bill Thomas and Kristin Dilley to discuss how we find the truth in true crime. Has true crime gotten too sensational? Are writers and publishers pushing aside what really happened in favor of a good story? Are victims and survivors of true crime being forgotten? How do we find truth? Jumping off from a recent Op-Ed by Sarah Weinman in the New York Times, join us for a fascinating conversation.

Host Mariah Smith is back for season 3 to dissect a messy obsession. This is Spectacle: True Crime. In our pilot episode, we look at how the 2014 podcast Serial changed the true crime game. And how it's a callback to an OG in the genre, the 1965 true crime novel In Cold Blood. We'll dissect how Truman Capote got a wee bit too close with killer Perry Smith and how good Phillip Seymour Hoffman was in the 2005 film Capote. Plus, you'll hear from true crime experts Jean Murley and Sarah Weinman. You won't want to miss it. A Neon Hum Media and Sony Music Entertainment production.

We speak to Sarah Weinman, author of the book Scoundrel, about a killer on death row who convinced the public of his innocence. But was this a story of a wrongful conviction or one of a cunning manipulation? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The Great Depression sparked a desperation in people that led to an epidemic of kidnappings nationwide, including the 1937 abduction of Arthur Fried, a married father of one whose father owned a sand-and-gravel company. As crime writer Sarah Weinman helps explain, Fried's unusual case ultimately led to the state of New York executing two men for the first time on charges other than first-degree murder. "Crimes of the Centuries" is a podcast from the Obsessed Network exploring forgotten crimes from times past that made a mark and helped change history.

Sarah Weinman's new book—Scoundrel: How a Convicted Murderer Persuaded the Women Who Loved Him, the Conservative Establishment, and the Courts to Set Him Free—is a gripping true crime story, and perhaps the tale of an ill-fated love triangle. It also is a story about William F. Buckley, Jr., who defied expectations to show mercy to a death-row prisoner, Edgar Smith, after finding out that he supposedly read National Review. In this episode, Weinman joins Matt and Sam to talk about this fascinating, half-forgotten episode from a key period in Buckley's life and career—how Smith and Buckley met; what Buckley did for him; the role played by Sophie Wilkins, Smith's editor at Knopf, in what happened; and the sad ending toward which it all careened.Sources:Sarah Weinman, Scoundrel: How a Convicted Murderer Persuaded the Women Who Loved Him, the Conservative Establishment, and the Courts to Set Him Free (Ecco Press, February 2022)Sam Adler-Bell, "The Conservative and the Murderer," New Republic, March 7, 2022Christopher Buckley, Losing Mum and Pup: A Memoir (Twelve Books, May 2009)Garry Wills, "Daredevil," Atlantic, July/August 2009Sophie Wilkins, trans., The Man Without Qualities by Robert Musil (1930, 2017)Alexander Chee, "Mr. and Mrs. B," Apology Magazine, Winter 2014...and don't forget to subscribe to Know Your Enemy on Patreon for access to all of our bonus episodes!

Tonight, my special guests are Liza Rodman and Jennifer Jordan, who recount the shocking true story of time spent with a young man who was privately taking delight in dismembering women in the 1960s. Get her book The Babysitter on Amazon.Liza Rodman was a lonely little girl growing up on Cape Cod in the 1960s. During the summers, while her mother worked days in a local motel and danced most nights in the Provincetown bars, her babysitter—the kind, handsome handyman at the motel where her mother worked—took her and her sister on adventures in his truck. He bought them popsicles, and they visited his “secret garden” in the Truro woods. To Liza, he was one of the few kind, understanding, and safe adults in her life. But there was one thing she didn't know: their babysitter was a serial killer. Though Tony Costa's gruesome case made screaming headlines in 1969 and beyond, Liza never made the connection between her friendly babysitter and the infamous killer of numerous women, including four in Massachusetts, until decades later. Haunted by nightmares and horrified by what she learned, Liza became obsessed with the case. Now, she and co-writer Jennifer Jordan reveal “a suspenseful portrayal of murderous madness in tandem with a child's growing loneliness, neglect, and despair, a narrative collision that will haunt” (Sarah Weinman, author of The Real Lolita) you long after you finish it. Antone Charles Costa was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, on August 2, 1944.[2] Costa started committing violent crimes at a relatively early age, when in November 1961, at age 17, he was arrested and charged with burglary and assault after breaking into a house and attacking a teenage girl. He was sentenced to three years of probation and a one-year suspended sentence for the crime.[3] In 1966, Costa picked up two women and promised to take them to Pennsylvania on his way to California. The women, Bonnie Williams and Diane Federoff, disappeared shortly after encountering Costa, and he told investigators that he had dropped them off in California. Costa was additionally thought to have murdered his girlfriend, Barbara Spaulding, in 1967 while he was living in California.[3] However, Federoff, Williams, and Spaulding were later found alive.[4] Costa was suspected of killing eight women: Diane Federoff, Bonnie Williams, Barbara Spaulding, Sydney Monson, Susan Perry, Christine Gallant, Patricia Walsh, and Mary Anne Wysocki, but convicted of killing only two: Walsh and Wysocki. Although suspected of killing Federoff, Williams, and Spaulding, those women were later found alive.[5] On February 8, 1969, while looking for the bodies of Patricia Walsh and Mary Anne Wysocki, police discovered Susan Perry. Perry had been missing since the previous Labor Day.[6] Perry's body had been cut into eight pieces. When Wysocki's body was found about a month later, her torso and head had been buried separately. Not long after, Walsh and the rest of Wysocki's body were found in a forest clearing that Costa had used for growing marijuana.[6] This "garden" of marijuana plants and the more significant case inspired the actual crime book In His Garden by Leo Damore.[6] The case gained international attention when district attorney Edmund Dinis, in comments to the media, claimed of Walsh and Wysocki, "The hearts of each girl had been removed from the bodies and were not in the graves…Each body was cut into as many parts as there are joints." Dinis also claimed that there were teeth marks found on the bodies. These claims, although untrue, produced a stream of national and international media outlets in local Provincetown, Massachusetts.[6] Do you frequently miss episodes of Mysterious Radio?
