    Casey White & Vicky White - 602
    Dec 23 2024

    When inmate Casey Cole White confessed to the 2015 unsolved murder of a woman in Rogersville, Alabama, and was transferred to Lauderdale detention center to await trial for capital murder, no one could imagine he would escape and lead the police on an 11-day manhunt. Even more shocking was his partner in crime- Corrections officer, and four-time “employee of the year,” Vicky White.

    Manuel Ellis - 601
    Dec 16 2024

    March 3, 2020. Tacoma, Washington. On March 3, 2020, three months before George Floyd was killed, Manuel Ellis found himself in a similar situation at an intersection in Tacoma, WA. He was tased, on his stomach, handcuffed, and held down by a police officer kneeling on his back. Despite pleas that he couldn’t breathe, Manny remained in that position until he suffocated to death. The officers claimed they used appropriate force to subdue a man who swung at them first. However, witness videos seemed to show a very different story...

excellent

I love this podcast. it's obvious that you two have different beliefs at times, but that you also share most of the same values, so it is a well-balanced show.

Had high hopes

I’m always looking for a podcast that gets great reviews and is voluminous so I was excited to start Generation Why. I couldn’t get past three episodes. I felt like they didn’t bring much of anything new to their chosen topics and the guys were just painful. It’s like dragging rocks to get them to make their points- that weren’t that insightful. I skipped ahead a dozen shows to see if they picked up speed as the season went on- nope.
