This week on Something Ain’t Right, we dive headfirst into the deeply uncomfortable—because sometimes, feeling uneasy is just part of knowing something is seriously wrong.
First up, Pulitzer Prize winner Caroline Fraser’s new book, Murderland takes us on a chilling journey through the serial killer hotspot that is the Pacific Northwest—specifically Tacoma, Washington. Why do so many infamous murderers seem to have operated there? And more importantly, why are we just now asking this question?
Then, we explore the newest form of DEI thriving on college campuses—apparently, conservative professors are now a minority group. That’s right, the same folks who spent years railing against diversity initiatives are now demanding their own. Irony is alive and well.
Meanwhile, in the latest theological twist, empathy is now a sin. The idea that compassion is a tool of Satan has moved from the far-right fringes into mainstream conservative media, thanks to its most enthusiastic believers: Elon Musk and J.D. Vance. Because apparently, caring about people is now a gateway to moral corruption.
And finally, we tackle the awkward but necessary conversation: how to talk to someone dealing with depression. Saying the right thing can feel impossible, but avoiding the wrong thing? That’s a skill worth learning. We break down real strategies for showing up and supporting—because sometimes, discomfort is just part of being human.
Life is full of uneasy moments, but knowing the difference between what feels bad and what is actually wrong? That’s what we’re here for. Tune in to Something Ain’t Right—we’ll help you sort it out.
