Ep. - 1721 - SATURDAY SERIES: MICHAEL SWERDLICK CAN’T BUY ME LOVE SCREENWRITER
Michael Swerdlick, writer of the beloved 1987 film Can’t Buy Me Love, shares the remarkable story of how his first screenplay went from a typewritten script sitting on a shelf to a defining teen comedy. He reveals how Patrick Dempsey was cast at the last minute, the real-life inspiration behind the story, Paula Abdul’s role in creating the African Anteater Ritual, Michael Jackson’s connection to the film’s title, and what he remembers about the late Amanda Peterson. Michael also reflects on his unconventional Hollywood career, his instinct to root for the underdog, and why the movie continues to resonate nearly four decades later.

Ep. - 1720 - 14 DAYS IN GAINESVILLE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF SALT LAKE CITY
Daniel Levin, director of 14 Days in Gainesville, joins Kate to revisit one of the strangest collisions of true crime and sports in American history — the 1990 Gainesville murders and Steve Spurrier's first season as head coach of the Florida Gators. In August 1990, five students were murdered in their off-campus apartments in the span of days, sending a college town into lockdown just as Spurrier arrived to rebuild a struggling football program. Daniel and Kate dig into the fourteen days that terrorized Gainesville, the massive manhunt that followed, and how a football stadium became the place a grieving, frightened community found its way back to something like normal. Plus, Kate discusses the premiere episode of Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, and Mary Cosby's return to the show after the loss of her son.

Ep. - 1719 - A KILLER STORY
Director Matthew Galkin and executive producer Josh Levine join Kate to discuss their HBO Original documentary series A Killer Story, which examines the more than two-decade-long case against Dana Chandler, accused in the 2002 shooting deaths of her ex-husband, Mike Sisco, and his girlfriend, Karen Harkness. Galkin and Levine detail how the story found them through investigative journalist Joe Sexton, who was contacted by Kansas homemaker Eileen Umbehr after she and her husband, Keen, spent twenty years and much of their own resources trying to prove Chandler's innocence. The conversation covers the six years spent filming the series, the absence of physical evidence tying Chandler to the crime, the toll of prosecutorial misconduct on the case, and what it means to document true crime obsession from the inside.

Chris DeRosa is back to discuss two very different experiments in finding a spouse.

Then, nearly six decades into his life, an ancestry test revealed that the man who raised him was not his biological father—and that he had an entirely different family waiting to meet him. Paul joins Kate to discuss the discovery that changed everything, meeting his new siblings, and reconsidering his identity without diminishing the father who loved and raised him.

Ep. - 1714 - CAPTAIN CHARLIE PETERSON: ONE PILOT’S UNTOLD 9/11 STORY
Twenty-five years after September 11, retired United Airlines Captain Charlie Peterson shares a story most people have never heard: hours after the attacks, with US airspace grounded and fighter jets in the sky, Charlie volunteered to fly a plane carrying United's emergency response team toward the Flight 93 crash site in Shanksville, Pennsylvania — not knowing just how closely his own aircraft would be watched along the way. It's a quiet, remarkable account of an ordinary pilot doing the job he was trained for on the most extraordinary day of his career.

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.

Ep. - 1711 - DAUGHTERS OF 9/11
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.

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. - 1703 - SATURDAY SERIES: RICHARD ELLIOTT
Richard Elliott, a deputy manager in residential childcare in England, talks about his mother's childhood inside a Catholic convent and, later, a Catholic laundry in the north of England during the mid-twentieth century. Richard describes his mother's four years of separation from her family and her sisters as a child, her return home, an attack by a boyfriend at fifteen that led to her being sent away a second time, and two years of unpaid labor inside a Catholic laundry with no contact with her family. Richard also discusses discovering the full extent of his mother's story only recently, while interviewing her for a book they wrote together, and how his own work in residential childcare has changed the way he understands her. The conversation closes on Richard's petition calling on the UK government to open a public inquiry into the treatment of children in Catholic institutions in England. Richard and his mother published their book under the pen name M. Duffy. It is titled In My Own Words: Memories of the Catholic Convents and is available on Amazon.

Ep. - 1702 - THE MURDER OF THE KISSEL BROTHERS
The story of the Kissel brothers, two wealthy siblings murdered on opposite sides of the world within three years of each other. Robert Kissel, a Merrill Lynch executive in Hong Kong, was killed by his wife Nancy in November 2003 in a case that became known internationally as the Milkshake Murder. Less than three years later, his older brother Andrew, a Greenwich, Connecticut real estate developer facing federal fraud charges, was found stabbed to death in his own home. This episode covers both cases in full: the collapse of Robert and Nancy's marriage inside Hong Kong's expatriate finance world, Nancy's two trials and her conviction, overturned conviction, and second conviction, and the murder-for-hire investigation into who killed Andrew, including the eventual pleas, verdicts, and the question of who actually held the knife. The episode closes with where the case stands today and where to watch more, including Dateline NBC, 48 Hours Mystery, American Greed, and the 2008 Lifetime movie The Two Mr. Kissels starring John Stamos.
