There is no shortage of true crime or Alex Murdaugh content, but have you ever wondered about the realities and unseen challenges investigative journalists face as they expose the dark underbelly of power and corruption?   In this compelling episode, Mandy Matney joins us on the couch to talk about her book "Blood on Their Hands: Murder, Corruption, and the Fall of the Murdaugh Dynasty."
In this episode,  Mandy shares the challenges she faced as a young journalist, starting a podcast, and dealing with harassment, sexism, personal attacks, and threats to her safety, which really took a toll on her mental health.
We also discuss Alex Murdaugh's team's motion for a completely new trial, why the upcoming financial trial is incredibly important, and why we should pay attention.  We also touch on the Stephen Smith investigation, the sons of Gloria Satterfield, the upcoming jail release of Bowen Turner, and how the South Carolina justice system is failing victims.  Tune in for an episode that is not just a tale of crime and corruption but of personal experiences and hard-hitting investigative journalism, also a testament to resilience and the relentless pursuit of justice.
