House Inhabit Podcast

Hello and happy Sunday.

It’s been dreadfully hot here in Laguna amid this brutal heatwave. I’m writing from my office in a bathing suit with a fan to my face, cursed by a two-day migraine, fresh from a midday swim, two Excedrin and one Vitaminwater deep.

A lot happened last week, which I’ll touch on in the next edition of Housekeeping.

Today, I have for you a conversation with Stinson Carter. Stinson is a journalist, editor, author, screenwriter, and playwright whose work has appeared in The Wall Street Journal, Vanity Fair, Esquire, Wired, Playboy, and many other publications. Born and raised in Louisiana, he studied English Literature at Vassar before making his way through Seattle, New York, Amsterdam, Los Angeles, and somewhere along the way, a meditation commune in Iowa. He now lives in Charleston. His latest essay on Hemingway’s final residence caught my eye— as you know, I’ve been on a Hemingway kick the past few weeks, so I was delighted to interview him Friday.

Along with our shared literary tastes, Stinson has excellent gossip collected over a decade bartending at the Chateau Marmont. This naturally led us down a few interesting rabbit holes.

Enjoy.

I’ll be back with a juicy theory on the Elon / Shivon breakup + the Clancy trial conclusion.

Greetings from a Nashville airport café, en route now to Martha’s Vineyard. I accidentally left my laptop at the office and editing anything on my phone using the app is tricky, so you can likely expect briefer dispatches for the next few days.

In regard to the Lindsay Clancy trial, the defense is preparing to wrap. After their final witness is called to testify, closing arguments could begin as early as Monday. I’m planning to head to Plymouth next week to track deliberation developments from the courthouse. Stay tuned for details.

In the meantime, I present JK Ultra. Jen hopped on a LIVE with me Wednesday afternoon to discuss and debunk a number of the viral conspiracies surrounding the case. I was stunned to learn about a couple of them myself. Her insight adds much-needed clarity, particularly when it comes to evidence that has been collectively overlooked or misinterpreted by the swarm of online sleuths moonlighting as medical and forensic experts.

Back soon!

As a follow-up to yesterday’s video: I heard from Nick — he’s OK but on lockdown all week after an inmate attacked a guard. He explains on our call.

HIH Archive Dedicated to His Case

This audio was recorded yesterday afternoon; I wanted his reaction to hearing his name again in the news again because of the NYT article about the suicide note— a year after I wrote about it. The note has been mentioned by Nick several times before in exclusive audio clips shared over the past two years. It goes to show how slow mainstream outlets are to pursue critical angles sourced and pre-packaged by independent efforts, and how much the public still relies on them to shape their perception on most things.

The NYT is now pushing to unseal the Epstein note; I expect they may have more success than I did.

Stay tuned.

From the grave, we finally get Epstein’s “side.” Today’s conversation centers on the seven-page document Jay Beecher uncovered this week, buried deep within the Epstein files — where the disgraced financier, in his own words, lays out his version of the scandal, echoing what Jay uncovered over the course of his five-year investigation.

JAY WRITES:

“Late last night, whilst embarking on another potholing expedition into the mountain of 3.5 million documents that make up the Epstein files, I found something that, remarkably, no-one else has yet found: A long draft statement written by Epstein himself, in which he discussed his sexual appetite, confessed to being a frequent patron of massage parlours and prostitutes, and revealed the truth behind the allegations against him. And, just as remarkable, everything he wrote in the statement corroborates what myself and Jessica have been publicly saying for many years.

The following is Jeffrey Epstein’s draft statement in full. I have had the letter authenticated by one of my sources, an individual who was extremely close to Epstein and worked with him to handle the press. I will be giving further context over the coming days.”

Read it. You’ll quickly understand why the media is unlikely to go near it.

“We are all storytellers. We all live in a network of stories. There isn’t a stronger connection between people than storytelling.”

- Jimmy Neil Smith,

As 2025 winds down, I wanted to take a moment to thank you for being here. This year has brought its share of challenges. Your reading, replies, and support have meant more to me than I can easily put into words.

I hope the holidays bring you rest, reflection, and renewal. As we head into the new year, I’m excited for what lies ahead and deeply grateful to have you along for the ride.

With love and thanks,JRK
