Ep. - 1712 - INSIDE THE MICA MILLER INVESTIGATION Sep 09, 2026

Show notes

Liz Farrell, investigative journalist and cohost of COERCED: The Devotion & Death of Mica Francis Miller, discusses more than two years of reporting on Mica’s life, marriage and death. Liz explains what the Netflix documentary Death of the Pastor’s Wife did not cover, including the history of JP Miller’s father, the Rev. Wayne Miller, the family’s churches and the religious compound known as Gloryland; questions surrounding Mica’s bipolar diagnosis and whether her mental health was weaponized against her; how JP accumulated power and repeatedly avoided meaningful consequences; and the unresolved circumstances surrounding Mica’s death. Kate previously interviewed the documentary’s director, Alexa Berger.

Ep. - 1711 - DAUGHTERS OF 9/11 Sep 08, 2026

Show notes

Twenty-five years after the September 11 attacks, two women who lost their fathers at the World Trade Center are opening up about grief, memory, and justice that still hasn't arrived. Jessica Trant was 19 when her father Dan Trant, a Cantor Fitzgerald bond trader and former NBA draft pick, called from the 104th floor of the North Tower to say goodbye. Elizabeth Miller was six when her father Doug Miller, an FDNY Rescue 5 firefighter, ran into the towers and never came home. In this episode, Jessica and Elizabeth, the subjects of the new CBS documentary Daughters of 9/11 — join me to talk about growing up around an empty chair, how differently they each grieve, their trips to Guantánamo Bay, and their sharply different views on what should happen to Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the confessed architect of 9/11 whose trial still hasn't begun, 25 years later.

Ep. - 1709 - SATURDAY SERIES: ALICE LACOUR Sep 05, 2026

Show notes

Alice LaCour, former federal prosecutor, litigation partner at Hilgers Graben, and co-host of The Prosecutors podcast, joins me for a conversation that spans her immigrant childhood in a small Georgia town where she didn't speak English until kindergarten, her path through Yale Law School and two federal clerkships, her work on Supreme Court confirmation teams, and the day she went into labor mid-trial and didn't leave the courtroom. We also dig into her career as a podcaster, including the backlash she faced after concluding Adnan Syed's original conviction was correct, and her real-time coverage of the Lindsay Clancy trial, including the gendered hostility she's faced covering it and why she believes the verdict shouldn't be treated as the final word on postpartum mental health.

Ep. - 1708 - EARLE MEETS WORLD REAL HOUSEWIVES OF BEVERLY HILLS Sep 04, 2026

Show notes

Kate discusses Leah Remini joining the cast of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and why her humor, candor, history with Scientology, and willingness to confront uncomfortable subjects could make her an ideal Housewife. She also reviews Netflix’s Untold: Raygun: Breaking Badly, in which Australian academic and breakdancer Rachael “Raygun” Gunn recounts her unlikely path to the Paris Olympics and the worldwide ridicule that followed her viral performance. Then, Kate breaks down Earle Meets World, Netflix’s new reality series following TikTok star Alix Earle, her sister Ashtin, their parents, and their complicated blended family. She explores Alix’s rise to fame, stepmother Ashley Dupré’s role in the Eliot Spitzer scandal, the family’s remarkable evolution after a very public betrayal, tensions surrounding Alix’s former partnership with Alex Cooper, and whether the series reveals enough beyond what fans already see on social media.

Show notes

Trisha Addicks, sorority recruitment consultant, founder of It's All Greek to Me, and author of The Rush Bible: Secrets to Crush Sorority Recruitment and Find Your Forever Greek Home, joins Kate to examine what television, documentaries, and social media get right and wrong about rush, from MTV's Sorority Life to RushTok to the Max documentary Bama Rush, in which Addicks appeared.

Trisha and Kate discuss how much of recruitment is built on authentic connection versus information gathered before a conversation ever happens, along with the role of résumés and social media audits, how to prepare for rush, and why its lessons in networking, first impressions, and resilience extend well beyond college.

Show notes

Lily Fletcher, producer of Hulu’s Welcome to the Family: The Murder of Dan Markel, joins Kate to discuss the shocking murder-for-hire case at the center of the four-part docuseries. Florida State University law professor Dan Markel was murdered in 2014 amid a bitter custody battle with his former wife, Wendi Adelson. Prosecutors ultimately connected the killing to members of the wealthy Adelson family and a chain involving an intermediary and two hired gunmen. Ryan and Katie Fears also share their firsthand memories of Wendi’s brother Charlie Adelson years before he was convicted of arranging Dan’s murder.
