  1. The Alexander Brothers’ Sentencing, Andrew Luster’s Release & The Gilded Rage Cold Case

    Episode 59

    Show notes

    I’m joined by Eliza Rosen and Lauren Malloy, the duo behind the hit podcast My Mom’s Murder, to talk about their new podcast, The Gilded Rage. Lauren tells me how she found out her mom’s 1993 “natural causes” death was actually murder, which led to her mom being exhumed and to a statewide cold case unit in Rhode Island. Then they take me inside the 1985 death of 18-year-old CU Boulder freshman Sherri Clark, who was found under a bridge after a frat party. The case was closed within days, the main suspect’s records were quietly sealed, and other women say the same guy assaulted them too. It’s a story of wealth, power, and the good old boys network. We also get into Andrew Luster, the Max Factor heir who is now out of prison, the Alexander brothers ahead of their sentencing, and the ongoing Sandra Birchmore murder trial against former cop Matthew Farwell.

    Show notes

    My sister, criminal defense attorney Shannon McDonald Goldstein, is back for another Juicy Crimes! We start with an update on the Cornell case. I respond to some of the messages I got about my take on Shane Gillis’s SNL monologue. Then we dive into Netflix’s The Widower, the story of Thomas Randolph, a serial love bomber who was married six times, took out life insurance on his wives and spent decades working the legal system. Shannon explains why his first conviction got overturned and how the detective came out of retirement to finally get justice. Plus, we break down A Killer Story about Dana Chandler, the couple who dedicated a decade to proving her innocence, and the shocking decision she made right before her third trial that Shannon says no one should ever make.

    Episode 57

    Show notes

    Former judge and attorney Michele Locke, host of the Love Lust Law podcast, is back on Juicy Crimes, and we have so much to get through. We start with Halle Berry’s custody war with Olivier Martinez and his child abuse accusation, and Michele explains what the judge’s temporary order really means. Then we get into the Northlake, Texas mom accused of stabbing her two babies and her husband, and whether there’s a disturbing pattern of moms snapping after the Lindsay Clancy trial. We cover the New York Times exec allegedly gunned down by his elderly in-laws mid-divorce, the Arcadia “house of horrors” couple with more than 20 surrogate-born kids, the Ohio family with 16 children found in one room, and the royal doctor killed during her kids’ sleepover. Plus Chris Watts’ new fiancée, why women fall for men in prison, and Michele’s take on how hard it is for a powerful woman to date.

  4. The Cornell Seven: The New Texts That Change Everything with Shannon Goldstein

    Episode 56

    Show notes

    My sister Shannon McDonald Goldstein, defense and criminal law attorney, is back on Juicy Crimes, and we start with the latest on the Cornell Seven. New text messages just surfaced between the 20-year-old sorority member and the first fraternity brother she was with that night. We go through her original 2024 statement to campus police, the ketamine, the "free" Snapchat sent to 54 Chi Phi members, and the Halloween party she was disinvited from. Shannon explains why New York's consent law made it so hard for the DA to prosecute, and why all seven men are now named in her civil lawsuit. Then we get into Kevin Reddington's new motions to acquit Lindsay Clancy after the mistrial, Caleb Flynn's guilty verdict and the 21-year-old girlfriend who kept pushing him, and the horrifying failed execution of Christa Pike in Tennessee. Plus I share my own sorority rumor story from my USC days, and why I'd ban threesomes if I ran a frat.

  5. Hollywood Rumors Can Kill A Career

    Episode 55

    Show notes

    I’m joined by journalist Allen Salkin to dive into his new Hollywood Reporter podcast, Gerbil, which investigates the origins of the infamous, long-running Hollywood urban legend surrounding Richard Gere. We trace my own vivid memory of hearing the wild ER rumor back in the summer of 1989 and break down how pre-internet viral rumors, celebrity gay panic, mass media psychology, and deep-seated Hollywood jealousy fuel these unstoppable urban legends. Along the way, we connect it to the mechanics of public lies, touching on his Vanity Fair work behind Bad Vegan, Hilaria Baldwin’s accent controversy, and even my own personal experience facing a career-damaging, completely false tabloid rumor during my Chelsea Lately days.

  7. From 10 Kilos of Cocaine to Complete Freedom

    Season 1, Episode 53

    Show notes

    I sit down with Sharon Yitzhaki, a guest whose unbelievable life story inspired a bestselling book and a feature film centered around a 10-kilo cocaine setup. Sharon shares how leaving Jerusalem at 18 for Amsterdam's artistic freedom led her straight into a whirlwind romance with an older man named Ronnie, who surprised her with a trip to South America only to abandon her in Bolivia. After discovering ten kilos of cocaine hidden inside the custom luggage Ronnie bought her, she was arrested at the airport and sentenced to years inside the notorious Miraflores prison in La Paz. Sharon recounts her dramatic survival story, from overcoming cruel hazing to establishing herself as a respected prison leader, initiating romance with a high-profile cartel boss, falling in love with her transgender cellmate, and raising an abandoned baby inside her cell for three and a half years. Finally, she opens up about her harrowing escape on foot to Brazil after facing an unexpected 17-year sentence, processing her trauma through writing, and warning young people about the hidden dangers of trusting the wrong partner.

    Episode 44

    Show notes

    I am joined by everyone’s favorite sister and attorney at law, Shannon McDonald Goldstein, to break down some of the most baffling and heartbreaking cases making headlines. First, we dive into the tragic Fourth of July disappearance and confirmed death of 18-year-old college football player Nolan Wells on Horn Island, Mississippi, exploring the highly suspicious social media blackouts by his friends and the racial elements surrounding the case. Then, we dissect the chilling "alpine divorce" of former pastor David Vandermeer, who pushed his showgirl wife to her death at Zion National Park, only to take his own life in a jail cell decades later before facing justice. Plus, we cover the wild jurisdictional battles of the Bahamas murder-for-hire plot involving Lindsay Shiver, and a shocking update on the California radiologist who drove his Tesla off a 250-foot cliff with his family inside. It’s an packed, legally-minded episode you absolutely cannot miss!

    I sit down with former family law judge and Texas attorney Michele Locke to unpack the wild, high-stakes world where love and marriage crash headfirst into the legal system.

  18. Maternal Instincts: Deconstructing the Netflix Doc and Why Women Fake Pregnancies & Cancer

    Episode 42

    Show notes

    I am joined today by true crime expert Dani Lyles from "Crime Doc Dani"! We dive deep into the unsettling world of pathological liars and the terrifying extremes of female deception. We break down the chilling Netflix documentary Maternal Instinct, analyzing how Taylor Parker's elaborate web of lies escalates to the horrific murder of Reagan Hancock to steal her unborn baby. We also draw fascinating, eerie parallels to other shocking cases, including the heartbreaking mother-daughter plot against Marlene Ochoa-Lopez in Chicago, the tragic betrayal of Heidi Broussard by her lifelong friend Megan Fieramusca, and the massive financial deception of Amanda Riley in the hit podcast Scamanda. It is an eye-opening, jaw-dropping episode exploring the ultimate masks of manipulation, faking pregnancies and cancer just to control the narrative.

    Today I'm sitting down with my old friend, the incredibly talented standup comic, author, and producer Craig Shoemaker! We waste no time diving into his wildest personal drama, unpacking the saga of his marriage to a "hippie" who ended up lured into a full-blown cult. While Craig shares his perspective on whether it was a long-term grift or an extreme spiritual derailment, I give him some tough love and a female perspective on painting red flags green. Plus, we trade hilarious behind-the-scenes standup notes, discuss comic couples, and he gives me the ultimate inside scoop on what my husband Peter actually says about me out on the golf course!
