In August 1992, a remote cabin in the mountains of Idaho became the site of one of the most controversial standoffs in American history. What began as a warrant enforcement operation quickly escalated into a violent confrontation between federal agents and Randy Weaver’s family, resulting in multiple deaths and sparking national outrage.

The Ruby Ridge siege would not only ignite debates over government overreach, gun rights, and militia movements, but also influence how federal law enforcement handled future crises like Waco and beyond.

In this episode, we explore the background of the Weaver family, the tragic events that unfolded over 11 tense days, and the lasting impact this confrontation had on American politics, law enforcement, and public trust.

This is the story of mistrust, escalation, and a standoff that changed the course of U.S. history.

For decades, women across the United States were disappearing, their cases often overlooked, misclassified, or forgotten. Behind it all was one man: Samuel Little.

Little’s crimes spanned more than 30 years, making him America’s most prolific confirmed serial killer. He claimed responsibility for over 90 murders, and the FBI later verified at least 60 of them, a chilling record in U.S. history. His victims were often among society’s most vulnerable, which tragically allowed his crimes to go undetected for far too long.

In this episode, we trace Little’s early life and criminal background, his disturbing methods, and how he managed to avoid justice for decades. We also look at how modern investigative work finally exposed the full scale of his atrocities, leading to a shocking legacy that still raises questions about law enforcement failures, victim profiling, and justice for the forgotten.

This is the story of manipulation, brutality, and a criminal who managed to hide in plain sight.

For decades, Sean “Diddy” Combs has stood as a towering figure in music, business, and celebrity culture. A billionaire mogul. A hitmaker. A tastemaker. But beneath the surface of platinum records and champagne-soaked parties, there have long been whispers. Stories. Allegations.

In recent years, those whispers have become unavoidable.

And while some still see him as a larger-than-life icon, others are beginning to ask: how much of that empire was built on silence and fear?

In this episode, we take a look at Diddy’s rise to power, the lawsuits and headlines that followed him, and the darker truths that may have been hiding in plain sight. We discuss the wider culture around him, the people who’ve spoken out, and why some voices have taken so long to be heard.
