| 10/19/26 | Deep Cover Presents: The JFK Papers That Weren't | "Here it is. The Holy Grail." John Reznikoff makes his living spotting fakes. So when his close friend, a polished Navy war hero, turned up hundreds of secret documents tying John F. Kennedy to Marilyn Monroe -- a storied affair that had never been confirmed in hard evidence -- John knew he had his work cut out for him. He checked them with the best experts in the field. All of whom said they were real. The papers sold for millions, a Pulitzer winner wrote them into a book, and John thought he’d made the find of his life. Then one day it all came apart. Jake Halpern’s story about Reznikoff originally aired on This American Life in 2011.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. | 32m 50s | ||||||
| 10/13/26 | Deep Cover Presents: Switched At Birth | What happens when you learn your family is not your own? In 1951, Mary Kaye Miller gave birth to a baby girl. But when she brought the infant home, she suspected something was wrong. 43 years later, she broke the news: her baby had been switched at the hospital. And the girl she'd raised actually belonged to a family living just a few towns away. Deep Cover host Jake Halpern first reported this story for This American Life in 2008. Ira Glass calls it one of the best episodes they've ever done. In it, both families and their daughters grapple with the fallout of this long held secret.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. | 58m 54s | ||||||
| 10/1/26 |  Episode 1 | From American Nightmares: Canal Murders | American Nightmares is a true crime series from Gamut Podcast Network that investigates disturbing crimes and the people, places, and unanswered questions behind them. In its new season, Canal Murders, American Nightmares investigates a chilling series of murders connected by a common thread: victims discovered in and around the canals of Phoenix, Arizona. What initially appeared to be separate crimes begins to reveal a darker pattern. Who was targeting these victims? Were the murders connected? And could someone responsible have been hiding in plain sight?

| 9/14/26 |  Examined: The Backfire Effect | New Podcast | Nearly 40 years ago, in the parking lot of a community college in Port Huron, Michigan, a 20-year-old student named Scott Macklem was shot dead in broad daylight. His murder shocked the community. It made no sense. The police quickly found their suspect. There was only one problem: the man said he was nowhere near the scene of the crime. And he could prove it. In Examined: The Backfire Effect, journalist Josie Duffy Rice talks with eyewitnesses, investigators and local reporters to unravel a shocking story of judicial apathy and expedience — a story that leaves no one off the hook. Examined looks at overlooked cases that never got the real investigation they deserved. Each season features deeply reported stories about crime, punishment, and the criminal legal system.
