We're back this week with one of the worst stories we've ever had to cover. The tragedy of Sandra Birchmore is something you've heard us reference more than a few times while covering the Karen Read case and other Massachusetts based scandals, but the details are truly difficult to stomach. Even more than usual, listener discretion is strongly advised.

Hi everyone! Mike has been struck down with Covid so no new episode this week. Instead we are rewinding back to one of our earliest episodes, the story of the mysterious death of Agneta Westlund.

It's time for another round of MAF Recommends. But first, Joanne gives us two updates from the state of Rhode Island. We then have three recommendations for you this week:

Check them all out now!

Come back with us to Massachusetts as we talk about SOME of the scandals that have been surrounding the MSP and local police here for decades. We don't cover any details or officers actually involved in the Read/O'Keefe controversy, but this is the accepted behavior and consequence-free attitude that allowed it to happen. Think of this as a prequel episode.

Time for another recommendation hodgepodge episode. This week, we discuss the Netflix limited series, A Good Girl's Guide to Murder. We also talk about the 2012 controversial crime drama, Killer Joe. And of course, we also have to mention Deadpool & Wolverine which is required by law these days.

This week, Mike tells the story of a killer that living legend Dr. Ann Burgess interviewed but still has questions about. Find out about this guy, what Dr. Burgess thinks about him, and some about his many victims in our all new episode!

Welcome to episode 75! This week you're getting a hybrid episode, aren't you just so lucky? Joanne tells the story of the godmother of serial killer research, Dr. Ann Burgess. You'll hear the story of her work and some of the cases she studied and consulted on in this episode. You also get a bonus recommends because Hulu just put out a 3 part miniseries on Dr Burgess titled Mastermind: To Think Like a Killer.

Hi everyone. A bit of an all over the place episode today. We have to touch on current events, and then we quickly give an update on Alec Baldwin, and some very minor updates related to Karen Read and some of the same players in Canton. Our main discussion is about the new movie Longlegs playing now in theaters.

We've had a mistrial but there is still a lot more ground to cover with the story of Karen Read, John O'Keefe, and the other Canton players.

Get ready everyone as we kick off what promises to be multiple episodes of Karen Read coverage. We are still on verdict watch (this episode was recorded on June 30, 2024) but there are so many ins and outs to this case we wanted to get started. We'll give you the basics in this first installment, but we will continue with a deeper dive into our thoughts and opinions (and hopefully a verdict reaction) in our next episode.
