  • The Mysterious Crash of National Airlines Flight 967: A Conversation About Quacks, Con Men, and Carnage with Author Jerry Jamison

    The Mysterious Crash of National Airlines Flight 967: A Conversation About Quacks, Con Men, and Carnage with Author Jerry Jamison
    Jul 10 2025

    On November 16, 1959, National Airlines Flight 967 took off from Tampa, Florida. The aircraft never made it to its destination: New Orleans, Louisiana. It went down over the Gulf of Mexico. All 42 souls on board died in the crash.

    Was this a freak tragedy?

    Or something far more sinister?

    Author Jerry Jamison covers the case in his latest book. We interviewed him about the twisty case in this episode.

  • The University of Idaho Murders: Bryan Kohberger Pleads Guilty

    The University of Idaho Murders: Bryan Kohberger Pleads Guilty
    Jul 2 2025

    Correction: In most capital cases, the jury decides whether or not a convict gets the death penalty, not the judge. Only a few states ever allow judges to override a jury and order the death penalty.

    Bryan Kohberger is accused of murdering University of Idaho students Xana Kernodle, Ethan Chapin, Madison Mogen, and Kaylee Goncalves. He just pleaded guilty to their murders, as part of a plea deal. We watched the hearing and will talk about it now.
