    Sep 23 2024

    Paul Bergrin is a hotshot criminal defense attorney in Newark, New Jersey. Seemingly unstoppable and with unorthodox methods, he’s built a reputation for getting his clients off the hook. But as Paul's legend grows, so do the suspicions swirling around him.

    When FBI Agent Shawn Brokos starts investigating a major drug ring, she makes a shocking discovery: the gang's most powerful player is none other than Newark’s star attorney. Has the ex-federal prosecutor crossed the line and started committing crimes himself?

    From Wondery, comes a new series about a lawyer who breaks all the rules, the FBI agent determined to take him down at all costs, and the people caught in the middle who paid the ultimate price.

  • Death of Amanda Antoni - 589

    Death of Amanda Antoni - 589
    Sep 23 2024

    October 26, 2015. Calgary, Canada. When a phone call Lee Antoni had with his wife, Amanda, was cut short while he was over 400 miles away visiting family, he didn’t expect the worst. When she failed to respond to his calls and texts over the weekend he assumed she was busy. It was only when he returned home to find his wife absent, and their pets hungry, that he truly became concerned. In the basement, where the walls and floor were covered with blood, Lee discovered his wife, Amanda Antoni, dead. Investigators would leave no stone unturned in their search for answers.

Fair reporting

I'm definitely against the death penalty in all cases regardless of the crime, and I have a healthy distrust of law enforcement, prosecutors, and judges, but I think these two give a fair assessment of each case. I do like to hear other people's opinions on the justice system, even if I don't share them. And I haven't delved into the older cases because most hot takes on any podcast that's older than ten years is gonna be cringe, especially where race and law enforcement are concerned, but these past few years, I've enjoyed. Keep it up. My evening dishes thank you.

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.
