Description

For nearly half a century, Bill Cosby brought warmth and laughter into hearts across the country, cementing his image as “America’s Dad.” But he also led a dark, secret life preying on women. The comedian carefully coaxed each one into feeling safe and cared for, then left them to pick up the pieces of their lives. It all started with Andrea Constand. She carried the burden of being the only one of the 60-plus accusers whose case could be tried in a court of law. Now, she's telling her side of the story, along with firsthand accounts from more than a dozen survivors, jurors and prosecutors. From the Los Angeles Times, and hosted by investigative reporter Nicki Weisensee Egan, "Chasing Cosby" is the definitive take of the rise and fall of Bill Cosby.

"Foretold" is the newest podcast from the L.A. Times, and we're sharing a preview of the first episode with you here today. In the fall of 2019, reporter Faith E. Pinho received a tip from a woman named Paulina Stevens. Paulina claimed she had grown up in an insular Romani community in California, where she was raised to be a wife, mother and fortuneteller — until she decided to break away. That first call unraveled a story spanning multiple continents, hundreds of years, and complex metaphysical realities.  Follow "Foretold" to hear new episodes every Tuesday. 
The Letter is a new original true crime podcast hosted by award-winning journalist Amy Donaldson. This 8-part narrative series tells the story of the brutal murder of Zachary Snarr, which took place in Salt Lake City, UT, on August 28, 1996.

But on August 28, 1996, the 18-year-old never came home from his date with Yvette Rodier at a reservoir outside of Salt Lake City. Instead, two police officers and a chaplain came to ring the bell. It was every parent’s nightmare, a devastating loss that rocked a community and shattered lives. But Zach’s mother, Sy Snarr, finds hope from a most unlikely place and it comes in the form of a weekly phone call.

Really enjoyed this. I'm in the UK so it was difficult to keep up with this case, we only had small stories reported on here the whole case was not followed in detail. So it was good to hear all the details of the case and understand it more

Bill playing that "race card" is just laughable and ridiculous. If he can't admit that he had five so much damage, then I hope he dies in prison. His wife is just add guilty, she had to have known.

Why is the sweater in the illustration clearly a Coogi? But more importantly, why is it the Biggie Coogi? Don't drag Coogi and Biggie down with Bill Cosby, I saw the sweater and instantly thought this was a podcast about Notorious Big.

It’s unbelievable that Cosby still claims he is innocent and didn’t have a fair trial. He is a joke and he is in prison where he belongs. I’m happy for all the victims because they got justice. This episode was heart warming because all the victims got to hear the word “guilty” in court.
