  • The Epstein Scandal (Part Six: EDKH)

    The Epstein Scandal (Part Six: EDKH)
    Jan 30 2026
    "The evidence points to a combination of negligence and misconduct."

    In the early hours of 10 August 2019, correctional officers at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Lower Manhattan began their rounds. Shortly after 6:30 a.m., officers approached a cell on the ninth floor of the facility’s Special Housing Unit, a segregated area used for inmates who require administrative separation. Inside that cell was Jeffrey Epstein, the infamous sixty-six year old detainee facing federal charges of sex trafficking minors.

    When officers looked inside the cell that morning, Epstein was unresponsive. He was found hanging. Emergency measures were initiated, and he was transported to New York Presbyterian-Lower Manhattan Hospital where he was quickly pronounced dead...

  • The Epstein Scandal (Part Five: The Island)

    The Epstein Scandal (Part Five: The Island)
    Jan 26 2026
    "We told the truth back then. They just didn't care."

    Following his release from prison in 2009, Jeffrey Epstein set out to re-enter the inner circle of high society. Having been branded a sex offender by federal prosecutors, Epstein quickly found that there was little resistance to him moving around in the same crowd of wealthy and influential people he'd spent the past three decades cultivating. But still, the conviction threatened to complicate his life.

    So Epstein withdrew to Little Saint James, a private island in the U.S. Virgin Islands he'd purchased back in 1998. He'd spent years renovating it to suit his lavish lifestyle, and 2009 became the perfect time for Epstein to reshape his life around it. Unfortunately for him, though, the case against him refused to go away quietly. And in 2019, the Miami Herald began publishing a series of articles centered around that original case...

  • The Epstein Scandal (Part Four: The Deal)

    The Epstein Scandal (Part Four: The Deal)
    Jan 12 2026
    "Every day that passes makes it harder to hold him accountable."

    In the spring of 2008, inside the offices of the United States Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, a document was finalized that brought an end to the federal government’s investigation of Jeffrey Epstein. The document was a Non-Prosecution Agreement, a type of agreement used to resolve cases without a trial. But this NPA in particular was handled outside of the normal public process. It was not filed in open court, and there was no public acknowledgement that it existed when it was signed.

    The individuals whose testimony had formed the basis of the federal case were not notified. They were not told that negotiations were underway, and they were not informed when the agreement was finalized. No court hearing accompanied the signing, and no press release announced that the investigation had been resolved.

I followed this podcast for a long time back when it was only on YT. I've always loved it. It is creepy, well-researched and well-told and always interesting. I lost track of it for a long time and assumed he'd just given it up and didn't even think to look for it, duh. I was thrilled to stumble across it here and what's better a year or two worth of cases I haven't heard yet.

I remember loving it back in the day when true crime podcasts were just starting to explode. Michael was so free of the silliness and disrespect of so many TC podcasts. It was straightforward and factual but never boring. To me it is on the same level as Casefile but I think even better researched. He's one of the best and most long lasting in the field.

My one criticism is he does talk a bit too fast. But now I can slow it down lol so it's fine.
