This week on Without A Country, Corinne Fisher covers an enormous slate of political, true crime, and cultural stories, beginning with shocking allegations surrounding Costco's chicken supply chain, she then discusses the tragic murder of influencer Sara Gilson (Sarah Duffy) after she publicly accused her estranged husband of sexually abusing a minor. The centerpiece of the episode is an in-depth breakdown of the ongoing Lindsay Clancy trial, and, more specifically postpartum psychosis. Corinne also dives into the explosive BBC investigation into Jared Leto, discussing decades of allegations involving teenage girls and celebrity power. The show continues with updates on the mysterious death of Nolan Wells, as well as another suspicious death involving a young Black woman that has received far less national attention. Later, Corinne examines Daniel Ortega's announcement that Nicaragua will no longer hold democratic elections before reacting to newly released body-camera footage in the fatal police shooting of an unarmed teenager in Austin. The episode wraps up with a discussion of newly released material from Anthony Fauci's personal diaries and Elon Musk's latest AI lawsuit. PLUS: Boy George made a reggaeton son about genocide!

This week on Without A Country, Corinne Fisher looks into the growing controversy surrounding Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner, including resurfaced comments, allegations throwing his campaign into crisis (he suspended his campaign moments after this livestream ended), and what it means for Democrats trying to flip a crucial Senate seat. She also unpacks the bizarre rumors surrounding Mitch McConnell's health and the viral speculation over whether the longtime Republican leader is dead, brain dead, or simply recovering from a medical emergency. Corinne then examines the mysterious case of Nolan Wells, the young Black man who disappeared during a trip with friends in Mississippi, a story that has sparked national outrage and demands for answers. Also in this episode: the fight over Patty, the Bronx Zoo's last elephant, Hong Kong's crackdown on dissent, DHS 's scary silencing tactics, Tim Walz's interesting pardon, and which country is chanting "Death to America!"
