    Patrick Radden Keefe: London Falling
    Apr 20 2026

    In 2019, surveillance cameras at the headquarters of Britain’s spy agency in London recorded video of a 19-year-old man. He was pacing back and forth on a high balcony of a luxury tower along the bank of the river. A two in the morning, he jumped into the water. Soon, his family discovered that he had lived a secret life that might have led to his death. From the bestselling author Patrick Radden Keefe tells me about his book, London Falling: A Mysterious Death in a Gilded City and a Family's Search for Truth.

  • Andrea Dunlop: The Mother Next Door

    Andrea Dunlop: The Mother Next Door
    Apr 13 2026

    One type of crime we don’t talk about much is Munchausen by proxy. It’s a mental health condition and a form of child abuse. It's where a caregiver exaggerates, makes up, or induces physical or psychological symptoms in a child to make them seem sick. Or it could be another person under their care. Author Andrea Dunlop writes about Munchausen by Proxy in her book, The Mother Next Door: Medicine, Deception, and Munchausen by Proxy. She and a Texas detective review his past cases and try to make sense of what happened. Andrea and I also talk about perhaps the most well-known case, Gypsy Rose Blanchard.

  • Susan Orlean: The Library Book

    Susan Orlean: The Library Book
    Apr 6 2026

    Author Susan Orlean wrote a best-selling book years ago that you’ve probably heard of: The Orchid Thief. It was made into a movie called Adaptation. Susan has now written another book—this one about an unexpected crime that might not have been a crime at all. A fire in the LA Public Library destroyed more than 400,000 books in 1986. Did they find out what caused it? Or who? Susan tells me the story in her book, The Library Book.

If you like true crime and historical facts and stories, you’ll love this podcast. I could listen to Kate talk all day long. Her ability to dive into her research and deliver it with clear, concise facts is incredible. There are moments of laughter woven into some episodes and that’s always a nice break from the intensity. I highly recommend anything from Exactly Right but Tenfold More Wicked is a real gem!

This is a dive into history
