Ep. - 1661 - SATURDAY SERIES: AUTHOR PAMELA COLLOFF Jul 11, 2026

Show notes

Pamela Colloff, reporter for ProPublica and the New York Times Magazine, joins the show to discuss her debut book, Catch the Devil: A True Story of Murder, Deception, and Injustice on the Gulf Coast (Knopf). The book examines Paul Skalnik, a con man and jailhouse informant whose testimony helped convict dozens of people, including James Dailey, a Vietnam veteran sent to death row for a 1985 murder despite the absence of physical evidence against him. Colloff discusses how she found the story, her own experience being deceived by Skalnik during years of reporting, and what his case reveals about the use of jailhouse informants in the American justice system.

Ep. - 1658 - RETURN TO FOX HOLLOW: NEW VICTIMS, DARKER SECRETS Jul 08, 2026

Show notes

Herb Baumeister lived a quiet family life in a nine thousand square foot estate in Westfield, Indiana, while authorities believe he secretly targeted gay men at Indianapolis nightclubs during the 1990s, luring them back to his property where he killed them before dying by suicide in 1996. Director and executive producer Alex Jablonski returns for a second conversation, this time about the follow up to the Emmy nominated docuseries The Fox Hollow Murders: Playground of a Serial Killer. The new special, Return to Fox Hollow: New Victims, Darker Secrets, streams July 8 on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+, and explores efforts to identify additional victims along with emerging questions about potential accomplices, missing evidence, and witness accounts that have shifted over time, including the story of Roger Goodlet, whose disappearance led investigators to Baumeister, and new scrutiny of Thomas Ackerman's connection to the case.

Ep. - 1655 - SATURDAY SERIES: EMILY JENNINGS Jul 04, 2026

Show notes

After twenty-six years in the Coast Guard and a hard-earned retirement in a Margaritaville-branded community in Daytona Beach, Florida, Emily thought her next chapter was set. Then she noticed her husband's niece had vanished from his brother's Facebook page. What followed was a discovery that the seven-month-old had been placed in Florida's foster care system, and the beginning of an eighteen month legal battle that included a three day custody trial, allegations of fraudulent adoption paperwork, and a fight against a state system that seemed determined to keep her with a foster caregiver rather than family.

Emily and her husband ultimately adopted both the niece and, months later, her newborn brother, becoming parents to two young children in their fifties after raising a son who is now thirty. Emily talks about the toll of the legal process, what she learned about family adoption cases in Florida, the isolation of feeling like her family was fighting the system alone, and what it has been like to parent toddlers as a retired Gen Xer, decades after raising her first child.
