#431: Exposing The Police - Internal Review of London's Met Police Force
05/04/2023 Duration: 01h03minWhat is wrong with the Metropolitan Police Force? 5 words: Defensiveness, Denial, Racism, Homophobia and Misogyny. Prompted by the murder of 33 year old Sarah Everard who was abducted, raped and strangled by a London Metropolitan Police officer in 2021, the failures in the Met police force were scrutinized in a recent scathing report. This review is stunning and something everyone, whether you are an average citizen, politician, academic or law enforcement professional, should read and learn from, because this is not just about the London police, it is an indictment that can be applied to all police everywhere. Many people who join the police are drawn by a strong moral purpose, they want to help, serve and protect and they put their lives on the line every day, enduring extreme trauma in the process -- but many others are drawn to the job for the power, and the opportunity to abuse that power. This report can help change that. #SarahEverard #MurderbyPolice #Abducted #Raped #Strangled #Mur

#430: Andrew Tate | Part 2
29/03/2023 Duration: 40minWe continue to deconstruct Andrew Tate’s behavior which can be traced right back to his childhood and his response to the toxic male role model he had in his life. We discuss his family dynamics and his craving for his father’s approval. Instead of overcoming that lack of father love, instead of championing the strong women in his life who were raising him and sacrificing for him, instead of creating good in the world — he chose a different path, one of subjugating women, and exploiting vulnerable young men. We are here to call it out. #misogynist #poser #sde #toxicmasculinity #CallOutBullies #MothersAgainstMisogyny #RealCrimeProfile #Podcast #Expert #Analysis #FBI #NewScotlandYard #TrueCrime >>>>SUPPORT OUR OTHER SHOWS <<<CRIME ANALYST PODCAST - You’re interested in real crime?

#429: Andrew Tate | Part 1
22/03/2023 Duration: 28minAndrew Tate, a former kickboxer and failed reality tv contestant, is someone who has tried to ingratiated himself with, indoctrinate and monetize impressionable young men and boys by proselytizing his own brand of misogyny and toxic masculinity — is now sitting unhappily in a Romanian prison under suspicion of rape, sex trafficking and organized crime. He and his brother Tristan have denied all charges against them. While we would love to ignore someone this thirsty who LIVES to have anyone’s attention, it is important to talk about the women he has victimized, and the young men he has manipulated. We expose the Emperor’s faux Gucci clothes, deconstruct and deglamorize the utter banality of his schtick. We call it out for what it is.

#426: The Stalking and Murder of Podcaster Zohreh Sadeghi
13/03/2023 Duration: 31minJust this past Friday March 10th, Zohreh Sadeghi, 33, a tech industry podcaster and her husband, Mohammad Milad Naseri, 35, were murdered in their home in Redmond, Washington by a man who stalked Zohreh after listening to her podcast. In the past months, his behavior had become increasingly alarming, relentlessly calling her 100 times in a day, sending her an avalanche of texts, traveling from his residence in Texas to her home in Washington state, surveying her neighborhood and threatening to harm her or himself unless she entered an intimate relationship with him. Despite Zohreh contacting police and obtaining a restraining order against him, despite his increasingly threatening behavior, police were not willing or seemed able to do anything to intervene. Why? Why are victims not protected? Why are stalkers, who are not going to be stopped by a piece of paper, allowed free reign to terrorize and murder? Do you think you are being stalked? What can you do?

#424: Stolen Youth - Inside the Cult at Sarah Lawrence | Part 1
01/03/2023 Duration: 47minIn 2010, on the small woodsy campus of Sarah Lawrence College located in Yonkers, New York, 50 year old Lawrence Ray came to “crash” with his daughter Talia in her on-campus dorm town-house that she shared with several other students, ostensibly until he found a place to live after his recent release from prison. That fateful “visit” turned into a twisted decade long odyssey of abuse and coercive control that would nearly ruin the lives of several young people including Isabella Pollok, Claudia Drury, Dan Levin, Santos, Yalitza, and Felicia Rosario. Using the framework of Hulu’s extraordinary docs-series “Stolen Youth” we examine who these victims were, how they were lured into Larry’s web and how he was able to torture and traumatize them for so long. It is a cautionary tale that everyone needs to learn from. This is not about a “Sarah Lawrence sex cult", (in fact Laura and Jim debate whether this is a cult at all)...this is about unmasking a master manipulator capable of fooling everyone he came i
