“MK Confidential” tracks the winding road to justice for Sherri Rasmussen — and why it took so long. With her killer in custody, Sherri’s family watches at trial, sentencing, and early parole hearings to keep her off the streets. The process is arduous, and ongoing.

Megyn sits down with Sherri Rasmussen’s two sisters, Connie Wilkinson and Teresa Lane, to trace the case through their eyes. From the LAPD investigation that plodded along for decades to the cycle of parole hearings and appeals, the arrest of Stephanie Lazarus proves to be only the beginning.

For years, Lazarus maintains her innocence. Then, when it seems her parole is on the line, she flips, and begins revealing details drip-by-drip about the night she took Sherri’s life. Lazarus will make the same case next month; Sherri’s family will be ready. This is Episode 4 of the Sherri Rasmussen story.

Podcasting 2.0 September 11th 2026 Episode 270 - "YOLO Guy

Dave waves the whitflag on agentic coding and podcasting beneifts! 

01 - THE PODCAST RIG ATE ITSELF — AND IS NOW RUNNING OMARCHY

Sunday 6 Sep: "My Umbrel docker containers did not survive the OS upgrade from Ubuntu 20 to 24 on my podcast rig. This is why I never upgrade anything. I still have some Ubuntu 12 and 18 servers running." — a sentence that should be on a T-shirt at Podcast Movement.

Tuesday, the diagnosis, and he takes it on the chin: "It was a v1 to v2 docker compose transition issue. It was very much my fault for not RTFM before doing do-release-upgrade." Plus: "doing 2 upgrades back to back to get from LTS 20 to 24."

To @ericpp, same day, the two-line eulogy: "It's incredibly borked." → "I'm closing the channel you have open to me because I'm going to have to wipe this box." — note that the lightning channel was collateral damage. That matters for §02.

Thursday 10 Sep, the rebuild: "Omarchy on the podcast rig now. Let's see how this goes." and then, shortly after, "Podping gossip watcher up and running on it."

The genuine question underneath: the podcast rig runs podping's gossip watcher. What is actually load-bearing on that box, and should anything that the wider ecosystem depends on be sitting on a machine you're willing to wipe on a Tuesday?

09 - THE ANTHROPIC ADVENT CALENDAR

@js to you directly, 11 Sep: "@adam it's like an advent calendar until the IPO — behind today's door is..." and then the Anthropic threat-intelligence report.

Anthropic — Detecting and countering misuse (11 Sep PDF)

The line JS pulled out: "These actors carried out a sustained effort to develop guided weapons, using Claude to design guidance software. They did test-fire a guided rocket. This field test appears to have failed: within hours, the ac[tors]..."

And the prediction, two days earlier: "can you _imagine_ what stunts anthropic has planned for around the IPO timeline in a few months? gonna be great."

The board-meeting angle: every one of these reports is simultaneously a safety disclosure and a capability advertisement. Publishing "our model was used to design a guided rocket" is a warning and a brochure at the same time — and the IPO is in a few months.

00 - STEP ONE OF THE SCARY STUFF — THE NEW 'PODCASTS' IDENTITY TABLE

The lead, and it's Dave's. Wednesday 3 Sep: "#api The new `podcasts` table is now being written to by default on all new incoming feeds and the conflict queue is being populated for merge decisions. This is step 1 of the scary stuff. Let's hope nothing catches fire."

@dave — the podcasts table goes live (3 Sep)

Thursday 4 Sep, step one lands: "#api All feed ingestion paths now use the new 'podcasts' identity table. Spent the morning cleaning up a lot of old error log debris I've been neglecting for years so I can have clean logs for the next step."

And the same morning he broke it and immediately confessed: "#api I would like to pretend (by silence) that I didn't break feed in

Megyn Kelly remembers September 11, 2001 25 years later, with a personal and powerful look back at that day. She discusses the exact way the 9/11 terrorists were able to hijack the planes on that fateful morning, the horrifying feeling seeing the plane hit the first World Trade Center tower and realizing what was actually happening, the final act of self-determination of the World Trade Center "jumpers" on 9/11, the story of the "falling man," how George W. Bush was reluctantly thrust into the spotlight after September 11, the powerful moments he had in the days after the terror attack that helped unite the country, some of the most powerful stories of September 11, the most powerful stories of bravery we saw on 9/11, the "man in the red bandana" Welles Crowther and other heroes from that tragic day, and more.

“MK Confidential” opens on a mother and daughter enjoying pizza and sodas outside of a California Costco. A distant man looks on. The mother polishes off her soda and chucks the cup into the trash as they leave. Within seconds, the man closes the gap to the trash can and slips the cup into a manila envelope. He is an “operator” in a secretive division of the LAPD. They are investigating one of their own. The cup has her DNA.

Megyn follows four homicide detectives from Van Nuys as they reverse-engineer a cold case, knowing the murderer is a woman. They winnow the list of possible suspects in Sherri Rasmussen’s life to five, and from there, to two —  women for whom Sherri would have opened her front door, with a motive for murder. DNA from a bite on Sherri’s arm rules out one. The other is a match.

The killer is LAPD detective Stephanie Lazarus. Depending on whom you ask, Stephanie is  an acquaintance, a friend, or an on-and-off lover of Sherri’s husband. The detectives ask her directly: do you know John Ruetten? This is Episode 3 of the Sherri Rasmussen story.
