In February of 2021, police officers performed a welfare check on 23-year-old Sandra Birchmore in Canton, Massachusetts. When they gained entry to her apartment, they found the young teacher’s aide dead in her bedroom from what they determined (after 4 hours) was a suicide. It would take more than two years and multiple law enforcement agencies investigating before someone was charged with Sandra’s MURDER. The investigation revealed a horrifying story of grooming and abuse, all stemming from local police officers, and leading to the murder of Sandra and her unborn baby.

In 1991, 11-year-old Jaycee Lee Dugard was abducted on her way to the school bus in South Lake Tahoe, California. What followed was one of the most shocking and heartbreaking cases in modern true crime—eighteen years of captivity in a hidden backyard compound, two daughters born in secret, and repeated missed opportunities by law enforcement and parole officials who visited the home over fifty times. In this episode, we break down Jaycee’s story as told in A Stolen Life and the A&E documentary The Abduction of Jaycee Dugard, exploring how she survived, how she stayed hidden in plain sight for nearly two decades, and how a chance encounter at UC Berkeley finally revealed the truth. Requested by: Marissa Seymour, Carly Bodick, Alyssa Crabtree, Briana Huizar, Rachel, Salome Pasch, and Amber Rose. Written by: Beth Satterstrum Want access to our first 45 episodes? Grab em here!

In 2015, a former Denver radio DJ filed a civil suit against our queen, Taylor Swift, claiming that she’d ruined his career. Taylor immediately countersued the DJ, alleging that not only had he ruined his OWN career, he’d done it by groping her underneath her skirt at a meet and greet in 2013. A trial followed in 2017, with Taylor testifying on the stand about what had happened, reliving that memory and all of the feelings of embarrassment, horror, disgust, confusion, and fear in front of a courtroom. In doing so, Taylor was able to shine a light on the fact that sexual assault can happen to anyone, and that coming forward and telling your story can help others do the same.

Part 2 of 2 When the plaintiff’s expert is a plastic surgeon who couldn’t rule out a dwarf with razor-sharp toenails for the scratches, this trial felt less like Law & Order and more like Real Housewives: Beverly Hills Courthouse Edition. From the OB-GYN and receptionist who witnessed the fight to the psychologist who said the plaintiff’s test answers were “two in a billion,” the defense delivers receipts – while plaintiff’s counsel Ron Rosen Janfazza completely unravels. Tyrella and Nikita break down the defense’s strategy, the jaw-dropping cross-examinations, the lightning-fast verdict, and the post-trial fallout – including Janfazza’s sanctions, his 2023 mistrial meltdown, and the now-infamous “vaginal discharge” argument NO ONE asked for.

Cardi B’s 2025 courtroom showdown with former Beverly Hills security guard Emani Ellis was supposed to be about an alleged “violent attack.” What we got instead? Chaos. From witnesses who “weren’t there – except maybe in spirit,” to whether or not Cardi B does in fact have TWO HANDS.And Cardi B takes the stand… and proceeds to annihilate the chaos of the plaintiff’s case with a single, iconic “She looks… security heavy.” In this first half of our two-part breakdown, Tyrella and Nikita unpack the plaintiff’s side – the claims, the testimony, the courtroom absurdities, and why the jury looked confused before Cardi B even spoke a word.

In 1991, Kathy Page was found dead in her car in Vidor, Texas—her death staged to look like an accident. Decades later, her murder remains unsolved, but her father’s fight for justice and the billboards he raised along I-10 made the case impossible to ignore. Want access to our first 45 episodes?
