Katie here! I’ve had a weird obsession with true crime since I was a girl. I remember watching forensic files by 10 (not your average Disney fan girl like ever). The weirdest thing that ever happened to me was when I tried to write a research paper on Ted Bundy, at 13, it freaked my teacher out, she called my dad worried. My dad told her I wasn’t interested in things other people perceived as intriguing. He was right, and still is 15 years later. Part of me feels like I can solve these cases myself, so join me as I try to. Therapy (sorta) and mediocre comedy included.

So here’s the deal: in this episode we’re talking Roe v. Wade — what it meant, how the Supreme Court ripped it apart, and why the fallout has been an absolute disaster. We’ll hit the history (aka how Roe became the backbone of reproductive rights for nearly 50 years), then break down what happened in 2022 when the Court basically said, “good luck out there, ladies.” Spoiler: it’s not just a “state’s rights” thing — it’s chaos.

We’re talking Columbine — the lead-up, the day of, and the aftermath that shook the country. This isn’t just the timeline; it’s the culture, the media, and how this tragedy still fuels the fight over gun laws today. I’m also touching on immigration — from the broken system to the people paying the price — and what you can actually do to stand with immigrant communities.

Lyle Menendez and Erik Menendez, collectively referred to as the Menendez brothers, are American brothers and convicted murderers who killed their parents, José and Kitty Menendez, at their Beverly Hills home in 1989. The defense argued that the brothers killed their parents out of fear their father would kill them after years of sexual, emotional, and physical abuse.

    Cardiac Cowboys

    The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
