138. INCONCEIVABLE: The Temujin Kensu Story Dec 27, 2024

Show notes

Today I sit down with Jason Usry, editor of our shows, but we're not talking about that - it's about his upcoming project INCONCEIVABLE: THE STORY OF TEMUJIN KENSU. Jason is going on a deep dive into the murder of Scott Macklem and the wrongful conviction of Temujin Kensu.

This case confounded us when we covered it back in episodes 66 and 68 in 2021 and we're stepping off the journey of his new project with him today.
