  • Rachel Corbett - Author of "The Monsters We Make: Murder, Obsession, and the Rise of Criminal Profiling"

    Interviewed live on KVLF with Chaz 11-20-2025

    Rachel Corbett is a features writer at New York magazine and the author of You Must Change Your Life (Norton, 2016), which won the Marfield Prize, the National Award for Arts Writing, and The Monsters We Make (Norton, October 2025). She has written for the New Yorker, the New York Times Magazine, The Atlantic, and other publications. She grew up in Iowa and lives in New York City.

    Criminal profiling―the delicate art of collecting and deciphering the psychological “fingerprints” of the monsters among us―holds an almost mythological status in pop culture. But what exactly is it, does it work, and why is the American public so entranced by it? What do we gain, and endanger, from studying why people commit murder? The Monsters We Make explores how criminal profiling became one of society’s most seductive and quixotic undertakings through five significant moments in its history.

  • John U. Bacon - Author of "The Gales of November: The Untold Story of the Edmund Fitzgerald"

    Interviewed live on KVLF with Chaz 11-19-2025

    THE GALES OF NOVEMBER: The Untold Story of the Edmund Fitzgerald (Liveright: Oct 7, 2025) by John U. Bacon

    In THE GALES OF NOVEMBER, award-winning journalist John U. Bacon presents the definitive account of the disaster, drawing on more than 100 interviews with the families, friends, and former crewmates of those lost. Bacon explores the vital role Great Lakes shipping played in America’s economic boom, the uncommon lives the sailors led, the sinking’s most likely causes, and the heartbreaking aftermath for those left behind—“the wives, the sons, and the daughters” as Gordon Lightfoot sang in his unforgettable ballad.

    Focused on those directly affected by the tragedy, THE GALES OF NOVEMBER is both an emotional tribute to the Fitzgerald’s captain and crew and a propulsive, page-turning narrative history of America’s most-mourned shipwreck.

    Child Rights AttorneyThe Voice for Kids

    If your child is injured in an accident, they may be entitled to compensation. Children have the same rights as adults when it comes to personal injuries. Sadly, many child injuries are suffered at places where they spend a significant amount of time, such as their school or childcare providers. If your child was injured at their private school or another location, you should speak with a child rights attorney.

    An attorney can work with you to determine the best course of legal action after your child’s injury. They will help to hold all liable parties accountable for their wrongdoing. Childhood injuries can cause lifelong health problems. Without the help of an attorney, you might not receive the compensation you need to cover all of your child’s medical bills. If your child was injured in an accident, contact our office to schedule a free consultation.
