S18: TBT: Alex Campbell - Murder 101 Jul 09, 2026

S18 Ep26: Iris Eytan - Protect Ethical Prosecutors Jul 05, 2026

Show notes

Bob is joined by Iris Eytan, the CEO of Protect Ethical Prosecutors, an organization focused on prosecutorial misconduct and accountability. Etan discusses her career in civil rights, public defense, and criminal defense, and says her path into law was shaped by work with people with mental illness and unhoused teens, as well as by her family background. She explains that her early cases led her to see recurring abuses in the criminal legal system, including failures to disclose evidence and other rule violations. Eytan says the organization was founded to educate the public, build a misconduct database, and pursue legal change in Colorado, including a possible ballot measure after legislative efforts were blocked. Eytan says Protect Ethical Prosecutors wants accountability for intentional, knowing, and reckless misconduct, while not targeting good-faith mistakes. She points to cases such as Richard Glossip’s and a Colorado disbarment case as examples, and encourages people to report misconduct, recognize ethical prosecutors, and get involved.

S18: TBT - Kerry & Quinlan Return Jul 02, 2026

Two years after their first appearance, Kerry and Quinlan returned to the studio with Bob to discuss a new show that they had just started at the time. A show which barely got discussed as the trio ended up having a hilarious conversation about absolute nonsense as they always do. This throwback episode will provide zero meaningful insights, but is very likely to give you a nice chuckle. Enjoy some much needed positivity on this Thursday morning.
