Welcome to the first episode of Twisted Karma, where the new year means new mysteries—and trust me, we're kicking off 2025 with a case that will have you questioning fate, loyalty, and just how far someone will go to secure their version of "happily ever after." Today, we're diving into the chilling story of the Ithaca Murder House in Michigan—a tale dripping with scandal, intrigue, and the ultimate betrayal. In 1970, Alonzo Hart Jr. was found dead on his front lawn under circumstances so suspicious they inspired the infamous thriller To Die For. With Alonzo's wife at the center of it all, walking away without a single charge. Was it a perfect crime, or is karma just waiting for its moment? The deeper you dig, the more questions surface—and trust me, this is a rabbit hole you want to fall into. Let's uncover the secrets, the lies, and the twisted legacy of the Hart case.

A few months ago, I interviewed David Leonhardt, author of Ours Was the Shining Future, about the death of the American dream which, he argued, can be dated from on 5 June 1968 when Bobby Kennedy was assassinated. And it's on that infamous date that I begun my conversation with Jonathan Taplin about the rebirth of the American dream. According to the Los Angeles based Taplin, who is now working on a book about an upcoming renaissance of American culture, the vehicle for a revitalized United States will come from a Sixties style explosion of cultural vitality. Bright new music, film and books will create a bright new America, Taplin predicts. I hope he's right.Jonathan Taplin is a writer, film producer and scholar. He is the Director Emeritus of the Annenberg Innovation Lab at the University of Southern California and was a Professor at the USC Annenberg School from 2003-2016 in the field of international communication management and digital media entertainment. Taplin began his entertainment career in 1969 as Tour Manager for Bob Dylan and The Band. In 1973 he produced Martin Scorsese's first feature film, Mean Streets, which was selected for the Cannes Film Festival. Between 1974 and 1996, Taplin produced 26 hours of television documentaries (including The Prize and Cadillac Desert for PBS) and 12 feature films including The Last Waltz, Until The End of the World, Under Fire and To Die For. His films were nominated for Oscar and Golden Globe awards and chosen for The Cannes Film Festival five times. In 1984 Taplin acted as the investment advisor to the Bass Brothers in their successful attempt to save Walt Disney Studios from a corporate raid. This experience brought him to Merrill Lynch, where he served as vice president of media mergers and acquisitions. In this role, he helped re-engineer the media landscape on transactions such as the leveraged buyout of Viacom. Taplin was a founder of Intertainer and has served as its Chairman and CEO since June 1996. Intertainer was the pioneer video-on-demand company for both cable and broadband Internet markets. Taplin holds two patents for video on demand technologies. Professor Taplin has provided consulting services on Broadband technology to the President of Portugal and the Parliament of the Spanish state of Catalonia and the Government of Singapore. Mr. Taplin graduated from Princeton University.

To Die For by David Baldacci Travis Devine has become a pro at adapting to any situation to accomplish the mission set in front of him. Whether it's a high-powered corporate setting or small-town community, Devine will become the man for the job. His time as an Army Ranger and on the financial battlefields of Wall Street gave him the skills he needed, and he's put them to good use. But this time it's not his skills that send him to Seattle to aid the FBI in escorting orphaned, twelve-year-old Betsy Odom to a meeting with her uncle, who's under investigation for RICO charges. Instead, he's hoping to lie low and keep off the radar of an enemy that he evaded on a train in Switzerland and who has been after him ever since—the girl on the train. But as Devine gets to know Betsy, questions begin to arise around the death of her parents. Betsy is adamant that they had never used drugs, but the police in the small rural town where they died insist the Odoms died of an overdose. Devine starts digging for answers, and what he finds points to a conspiracy bigger than he could've ever imagined. The question is, how do Betsy, her uncle, and various government agencies all fit into it. It might finally be time for Devine and the girl on the train to come face-to-face, and when that happens, Devine is going to find himself unsure of who are his allies and who are his enemies. And in some cases, they might well be both.

And, like every Baldacci story, there are quite a few twists in the story that will keep you guessing and turning pages well into the night. If you love a great tale told by a master storyteller, you won't want to miss hearing what this famous author has to share!

This week, Justin welcomes back Patrick K. O'Donnell. Patrick is a combat historian who has covered the war in Fallujah, Iraq in 2004, where he was armed and participated in the battle alongside the U.S. Marines. He's an expert on special operations units and irregular warfare.

You may remember Patrick from episode number 146 earlier this year. This is the first time an author has returned to the show to discuss the same book once again, and that's because The Unvanquished is so full of incredible stories that we barely scratched the surface the first time around.Check out Patrick's first appearance on the podcast, Civil War Special Operations Units.Connect with Patrick:patrickkodonnell.comTwitter/X: @combathistorianThe Unvanquished is available here.https://www.amazon.com/Unvanquished-Lincolns-Special-Americas-Operations/dp/080216286XHistory by MailWho knew?

August Lee-Kovach has made a fine Thursday crossword for our edification. The theme would've been an easy sell to editors, since it was all about ... editing! Other fine clues (not mentioned in the podcast) include 2D, What is to be done?, AGENDA (of course!); 5D, What Alexander Graham Bell suggested as the standard telephone-answering greeting, AHOY (awesome!!); and like this crossword, 35D, Absolutely amazing, TODIEFOR.Show note imagery: John NANCE Garner (who, if Time magazine is to be believed, went by the nickname of Throttlebottom
Neil Strauss is a ten-time New York Times best-selling author; a longtime contributing editor at Rolling Stone; and a former music critic, cultural reporter, and columnist at The New York Times, where he won the ASCAP-Deems Taylor Award for excellence in music journalism. His podcast, To Live & Die in L.A., hit number one on the iTunes charts and spent four months in the top ten, where it was named the best podcast of the year by The Associated Press and one of the ten best podcasts of the year by Apple. His latest podcast, To Die For, is currently ranking in the top 10 on iTunes under the true crime category. His most recent book collaborations include The Creative Act with Rick Rubin, which entered the New York Times bestseller list at number one and has been on the list for 76 weeks so far (and is still there), and I Can't Make This Up with Kevin Hart, which also entered The New York Times bestseller list at number one. Other New York Times bestsellers of his include The Truth, Emergency, Everyone Loves You When You're Dead, and The Game, which has the dubious distinction of being the most stolen book at Barnes and Noble besides The Bible. His book with Motley Crue, The Dirt, was hailed by Q magazine as “the most unputdownable rock book of the year, or possibly any year.” A feature-length film of The Dirt was released on Netflix, directed by Jeff Tremaine. Strauss has received the President's Volunteer Service Award for his search & rescue work and the Los Angeles Press Club's Journalist Award for his Rolling Stone profile of Elon Musk. He has appeared as a guest star on Curb Your Enthusiasm, in videos by Beck and 30 Seconds to Mars, and on talk shows such as The Jimmy Kimmel Show, The View, Good Morning America, Nightline, and Dr. Oz.
Today's crossword, Jake Bunch's second for the NYTimes, and his second Friday, was splendid: even though Friday crosswords are typically themeless, this did have a meta-theme, really, really intriguing clues. Beyond those mentioned in the podcast, we had 59A, Composer for whom Poland's largest airport is named, CHOPIN; 26D, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.: Abbr, STS (oh, of course!); and an answer that only shows up rarely in the grid, but we are happy whenever it deigns to drop by, 11D, Simply delectable, TODIEFOR. Besides all that, we also have a fun Fun Fact Friday segment, so do check that out (and remember, our Triplet Tuesday Contest is drawing to a close - you still have until Sunday at 11:59:59 PM in whatever time zone you are listening in to submit an entry, so do take advantage of that).Show note imagery: A Chipotle competitor, QDOBAWe love feedback!

"You're more Native American than my people ever were." Alex is on vacation so we're re-releasing an old episode, one of our favorites. We'll be back next week. Until then, Patreon supporters are still getting bonus episodes. Support the show at http://patreon.com/miniondeathcult And please enjoy To Die For. You may learn something. We watched To Die For, the astonishing new film from the wildly reactionary mind of Duke's of Hazzard's John Schneider. A green-screen, anti-teen fever dream, the movie chronicles Quint North (John Schneider), a veteran of some war, who is intent on triggering the local high school quarterback after he takes a knee during the national anthem. Quint's Native American neighbor, Wes, is the avenue for our main character to reel off Gran Torino style racial slurs at a flag-hating libtard, but this Native American Democrat will eventually come to respect the "crazy old white man's" fight against the modern world. Quint also faces: a daughter filing a restraining order against him on behalf of the high school, the same local quarterback threatening to kill his dog, and a young woman cop who orders a vanilla latte. Will sanity prevail? Will the American flag truly be... To Die For?
Tenderfoot TV's Laura Benson takes you inside “To Die For” with host Neil Strauss.
