Today we are joined by Beth McDonough, a duPont Columbia and Emmy award winning investigative tv reporter who spent three decades covering some of the country's biggest news stories, from the Jayme Closs abduction, to the 35W bridge collapse, and the death of rockstar Prince. But in her debut memoir, Standby, Beth turns the camera on herself. After two DUI's, public humiliation and exile, the loss of her beloved journalism career, she rebuilt her life through sobriety, resilience and a relentless pursuit of second chances. Standby is more than one woman's story, it's a roadmap for anyone who has ever stumbled, showing how setbacks can become springboards. Beth is here to share her journey of redemption, reinvention and the power of standing back up.

Betrayal Season 5

Betrayal Season 5

Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
