I'm Amanda Knox, and in the new podcast, Doubt, the case of Lucy Letby,
we unpack the story of an unimaginable tragedy that gripped the UK in 2023.
But what if we didn't get the whole story?
Evidence has been made to fit.
The moment you look at the whole picture, the case collapsed.
What if the truth was disguised by a story we chose to believe?
Oh my God, I think she might be innocent.

So I'm like delusionally proud of my chart.
Listen to the Spirit Daughter podcast starting on February 24th on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to your podcast.
I'm Nancy Glass, host of the Burden of Guilt Season 2 podcast.
This is a story about a horrendous lie that destroyed two families.
Late one night, Bobby Gumpright became the victim of a random crime.
The perpetrator was sentenced to 99 years until.
A Confession changed everything.
I was a monster.
Listen to Burden of Guilt Season 2 on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
What's up, everybody, and welcome to this tour.
And it was a Thursday, February 26th, the edition of,
Ah, Geist, this turns smells like sight.
Shout out Infinite Jost for that one.
Again, the references to the bit that I started talking about Kevin Sorbo,
improv skills has just created a life of its own.
Anyway, it's me, Miles G, in the place to be with the co-host, with the Mo host, and great
technical boardability.
Please welcome.
Mort Burr.
Hello, Mort.
What's our dude?
I'm grateful to be here.
What's up, Mahat?
Good to see you, man.
Oh, yeah, good to see you, too.
I was, did you, I know, look, you're an improviser.
Did you know that Kevin Sorbo is also an improviser?
Yeah, he was my, he was my guru for about 10 years.
I lived with him.
It was brutal.
There's like this scam movie he's doing this Bible movie where kids pay the production $1,600 for a quote unquote film camp, but they're just going to be extras in this thing called Night at the Bible Museum.
And in the schedule, the daily schedule, there's a block where it says an hour of improvisation with Kevin Sorbo.
And I was just like, what the fuck is that?
And I just could only imagine that Kevin Sorbo has no understanding of what the rules and just basic structure of improv is.
So like, I was just saying every fucking bit is just going to be like, what the fuck is this?
Like just coming into a scene and just negating, arguing and being like, it's going to go nowhere every time.
I need a suggestion of a restaurant in New Jersey.
Yeah.
Oh, fuck.
Adelphia's Italian?
All right.
Perfect.
Put on these wigs by these long hair wigs from when I was in my prime.
We're going to be a much of a little Kevin Sorboes.
Is this groundlings, bro?
We're putting wigs on.
A little improv shade for those that know they know.
know. Anyway, let's get into the trending news today, Thursday, February 26th, big day for Florida.
They're doing their best to please Trump. And I think also give people like a glimpse of what the country would look like if we had the full MAGA takeover.
They just passed a bill to honor Charlie Kirk on October 14th. Yes, the proclamation, every 14th, his birthday for Charlie Kirk Day of Remembrance.
A lot of people, like Democrats were like, hey, what about his like residency?
He never, like, lived here.
Is there any legitimate state interest in any of this?
Why is he worthy?
And then one of the Republicans who was like backing the bill was saying like, them bringing up like his racist comments or quote,
the typical greatest hits against conservative leaders.
I'm sorry that the greatest hits also are very racist.
That's not our fault.
Yeah, I'm just pointing, I'm just pointing out what was said.
Yeah.
Neil Diamond can't complain when we're like seeing your shits, dude.
Yeah, exactly, exactly.
What was even wilder, but also probably predictable,
is that there was like an amendment that was put forward to be like,
okay, then how about we do a George Floyd co-billing that honor?
But of course, they're like, no.
And I think that would just be the wackiest fucking day.
Like George Floyd slash Charlie Kirk Day is,
It feels like something like Chuck Schumer would introduce into the Senate.
You know what I mean?
It's like, let's find some common ground.
How about this white supremacist with this victim of police violence?
Yeah.
Together at last.
It is.
It's perfectly American.
It's like being like, how about we do, how about Muhammad Ali shares a day with Senator
Joseph McCarthy?
You're like, why?
Huh?
For no fucking reason.
Balance it out.
Balance it out.
You know, like maybe, you know, who's, who's another?
guy we can think of.
Anyway, they're going to try everything.
And also, the Florida
House also advanced a bill to create
their own secret
fucking police force.
Oh, interesting. Are we this? HB.
945, which would green light the creation
of a new counterintelligence and counterterrorism
unit within the Florida Department of
Law Enforcement, passed the House Budget
Committee, despite bipartisan
opposition.
So the primary mission of this
new unit would, quote, include the
detection, identification, and neutralization of adversary intelligence entities, which include a person
who, quote, whose demonstrated actions, views, or opinions are a threat of, are inimical to the
interest of this state and the United States of America. So very chill, very unconstitutional as well.
All these, all these spies are all up in Tampa. You know, they can't get a nut, they got to get it
all over my own. It's so important. It's a hotbed, hotbed of activity. But again, it's like,
really just
what if we just don't have a
first amendment so we can just say if
we don't like what you're saying
that's a crime.
Yep.
Which again, that's
keep your eyes on this shit because that is
a fucking terrible fucking dominance.
I mean, they're trying this everywhere, but
they're really going for it.
Also, fun use of the word neutralized
to mean kill. That's cool.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, no, we mean like,
we're just going to erase their account.
That's all.
That's all. They won't be able to post to Twitter anymore. That's all. That's what we mean. Uh-huh. And then just another bit on Florida. Remember Alligator Alcatraz? The state is getting basically stiffed on the money that the Department of Justice said they would give them for setting up that concentration camp.
There was supposed to be a $608 million federal reimbursement that the state has been like, okay, well, we can do this if they're going to,
to give us the $608 million because, I mean, we need that money to come through.
Justice Department lawyer just basically said, I mean, it's not going to cover construction
costs if the money comes through at all is what they were saying to the state of Florida.
So then they said, any potential dollars would only fund operational costs, not construction
or facility modification.
So, wow, wow.
I mean, that's crazy because the president and Ron DeSantis were like, oh, yeah, you're going
to get this grant. It's going to cover everything. You're not going to waste more of your tax
dollars, brutalizing immigrants. It's, it'll be covered by the federal government, but the rest of our
tax dollars. Yeah, it'll come straight from a very trustworthy DOJ. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly,
exactly. Very, very trustworthy. Speaking of DOJ, the Clintons are testifying today and tomorrow
over the Epstein files. So Hillary Clinton is, is currently,
I think as we speak testifying, Bill has his day tomorrow in front of the GOP-led House Oversight Committee.
They both wanted a public hearing.
Like, they're like, well, we want, like, let's just do this shit on the open.
But the GOP was too scared of that since they couldn't control the, like, totally being controlled the narrative of what was said.
And I don't know if she's got anything to bring the thing all down.
Probably not.
From what we know of the hearing so far, she has pulled the Mariah Carey.
and was like, I don't recall encountering Jeffrey Epstein.
And you're like, really?
I was like, let me see.
This is a picture.
Looks like you guys.
Okay, Bill Clinton was with him a lot.
But you never, okay, maybe you never encountered him.
Maybe you heard something.
Maybe you've known who this guy was that your husband hung out.
It'd be so funny if Bill Clinton's also like, I don't recall ever encountering this man.
They're like, what about the hot tub?
He's like, not ringing a bell.
I wish.
I wish I could remember.
I smoke a lot of weed, man.
So.
You know, I get high.
You know, you know that about me.
I smoke a ton of wheat, so that's just, bro, my memory is fucked.
This was part of her opening statement, though.
Quote, a committee endeavoring to stop human trafficking would seek to understand what specific
steps are needed to fix a system that allowed Epstein to get away with his crimes in 2008.
It goes on to say, quote, but that's not happening.
Instead, you have compelled me to testify, fully aware that I have no knowledge that would assist
your investigation, in order to distract attention from President Trump's actions and to cover
them up despite legitimate calls for answers. I mean, she's not named in it. And from what I know that
there's no allegations against Hillary Clinton. So I would probably be saying that too. It's like,
I mean, yeah, you want to ask me about this? I mean, sure Bill is in there. But like, you guys,
this is active cover for Donald Trump because you just want to be able to be like, they're bringing in.
Because obviously to the right wing right now, they're like, they're bringing in Bill and Hillary.
Like, it's over. Uh, guys. Yeah. I of course do not love the Clintons, but they're like,
they've been such a heavy target of propaganda for so many decades now.
It's like, yeah.
Great.
And if you got to take bill down, fucking do it.
There's no, there's no fucking sides here.
Like, there's one side.
It's do you actually, do you support people who have been abused and assaulted by these wealthy
people and refuse to let them get away with it?
Are you, you rocking with that or no?
Yeah, these people that have like just summarily demonstrated truly, true evil,
over email, which is a hilarious way to perform.
Jesus.
Yeah, yeah.
This could have been an email.
And it was.
Yeah.
And it was.
Really was.
You a Metallica fan?
Yeah, the first albums.
I was more of a hip-up guy in the 90s.
Same, same.
And at that point, I got into more alternative.
But as I got older, I definitely looked back at, like, Metallica and I was like,
oh, shit.
Like, I saw them live at outside lands, like 10 years ago.
And I was like, oh, this was fun.
But they just announced they're going to be doing a,
short residency at the sphere, which I'm like, oh, that could be, that could be a bad drug trip
waiting to happen, seeing Metallica at the sphere. And so like, this is following like, you know,
you two, fish, the backstreet boys. And so this fall, get ready for the snake pit in full spherical
glory because it's, they're having a show is October 1st, 3rd, all the way through like
Halloween. But I'm also intrigued. No doubt is also doing some shows at the
sphere also, which I definitely know no doubts catalog more as like a Southern California
scaw boy in that era.
But like, I'm just like, I, the rumor is Gwen Stefani is actually going to do baptisms during
the set sponsored by the prayer app, hallo.
I don't know.
Have you seen that commercial where she's, oh, yeah, dude, she's fully, she's fully on board
with like the Jesus apps now.
Like, everyone's like, oh, you got the, you got the MAGA take, the MAGA makeover.
It's full now.
Yeah.
Which is great, because I'm always asking how, like, what does Gwen Stefani think about my ability to enter the kingdom of heaven?
And it turns out, I just need to pay a subscription to this app to be able to talk to God.
So cool, cool.
Gwen.
Sweet and beautiful, Gwen.
Yeah, I mean, you know, I hope that she changes the lyrics to hollow back girl to be like, he is a hollow back God.
You know, people already have made puns.
It says, I ain't no hollow app girl.
they've already
Yeah the internet's done his thing
But it's it
I'm sure this is gonna
This song will hit differently
When they play it
If it's just like
Take this crown of thorns off my head
I'm crucified
And almost nearly dead
That shit I don't know
I don't know
I'm waiting Gwen
Tony I don't know
I don't know where you stand with all this
But I get it y'all probably need to check
so you're probably going to have to rock with whatever Christian shit's going on.
I get it.
I've been in a band.
Sometimes you've got to be like, yeah, I'm not really the draw.
I'm not really the draw.
I just play bass.
Yeah, we all got to pay rent.
I hope that it's like the sphere has the giant production of like Jesus with the stigmata.
It's like fountening blood, but it's like kind of fun.
They turn it to rainbows.
It goes rainbow.
Yeah.
It gets very like Harajuku girls.
Fucking Pontius Pilate comes out.
Do you little cats next to Judas?
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's going to be great.
It's going to be great.
The last kawaii supper is what they'll probably do.
All right, let's take a break and we'll be right back with more news after this.
Hi, this is Joe Winterstein, host of the Spirit Daughter podcast, where we talk about astrology,
natal charts, and how to step into your most vibrant life.
And I just sat down with a mini driver.
The Irish traveler said when I was 16, you're going to have a terrible time with men.
Actor, storyteller, and unapotaped.
apologetic Aquarian visionary. Aquarius is all about freedom-loving and different perspectives,
and I find a lot of people with strong placements in Aquarius are misunderstood.
A son and Venus and Aquarius in her seventh house spark her unconventional approach to partnership.
He really has taught me to embrace people sleeping in different rooms, on different houses,
and different places, but just an embracing of the isness of it all.
If you're navigating your own transformation or just want to chart-side view into how,
a leading artist integrates astrology, creativity, and real life.
This episode is a must listen.
Listen to the Spirit Daughter podcast, starting on February 24th on the IHeart Radio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to your podcast.
In 2023, a story gripped the UK, evoking horror and disbelief.
The nurse who should have been in charge of caring for tiny babies is now the most prolific
child killer in modern British history.
Everyone thought they knew how it ended.
A verdict, a villain, a nurse named Lucy Letby.
Lucy Letby has been found guilty.
But what if we didn't get the whole story?
The moment you look at the whole picture, the case collapses.
I'm Amanda Knox, and in the new podcast, doubt the case of Lucy Lettby,
we follow the evidence and hear from the people that lived it,
to ask what really happened when the world decided who Lucy Lettby was.
No voicing.
of any skepticism or doubt.
It'll cause so much harm
at every single level
of the British establishment of this is wrong.
Listen to Doubt, the case of Lucy Letby
on the Iheart Radio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
I'm Nancy Glass, host of the Burden of Guilt Season 2 podcast.
This is a story about a horrendous lie
that destroyed two families.
Late one night, Bobby Gumpright
became the victim of a random
crime.
He pulls the gun, tells me to lie down on the ground.
He identified Tremaine Hudson as the perpetrator.
Jermaine was sentenced to 99 years.
I'm like, Lord, this can't be real.
I thought it was a mistaken identity.
The best lie is partial truth.
For 22 years, only two people knew the truth.
until a confession changed everything.
I was a monster.
Listen to Burden of Guilt Season 2 on the IHeart Radio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
I'm Clayton Eckerd, and in 2022,
I was the lead of ABC's The Bachelor.
Unfortunately, it didn't go according to plan.
He became the first Bachelor to ever have his final rose rejected.
The internet turned on him.
If I could press a button and rewind it all I would.
But what happened to Clayton after the show made even bigger headlines.
It began as a one-night stand and ended in a courtroom with Clayton at the center of a very strange paternity scandal.
The media is here. This case has gone viral.
The dating contract.
Agree to date me, but I'm also suing you.
Please search warrant.
This is unlike anything I've ever seen before.
I'm Stephanie Young.
this is Love Trapped.
This season, an epic battle of He Said She Said, and the search for accountability in a sea of lies.
Listen to Love Trapped on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
And we're back.
Just some movie news.
Scream 7 is going to be coming out this weekend.
And I don't know.
I mean, we've talked in the past about how this production's been mired a bit with the
lack of free speech being honored by the people performing in the film.
So the premiere happened and there was a protest led by entertainment labor for Palestine,
Code Pink, LA, and Jewish Voice for Peace, Los Angeles outside Paramount Studios.
That's because Spy Glass, the production company, fired the original star Marissa Barrera
for daining to post anti-genocide messages on social media.
How could you?
Pretty real, honestly.
How could you?
Yeah, I mean, like, the people.
People were outside, you know, screaming stand for free speech, boycott scream seven, free Palestine, people were playing drums, instruments, totally peaceful protest.
And director Kevin Williamson was like very vague because they're like, hey, what do you think about that?
Like the protests out there.
And he said, quote, I saw them and my heart just sort of stopped.
Look, we live in America.
Everyone has a right to protest and everyone should be heard.
And if you have faith and if you have your truth and if you want to stay.
end up and be heard, you protest. That is your right in this country. And I stand by it. I support that
100%. Okay. So it's right to protest. Any take on what they're protesting? You feel any type of way,
but look, man, I'm trying to work again. They've already. I like signs. I like when people
hold signs outside. I'm indiscriminately of what the signs is. Yeah, yeah. Anything that's a sign,
I'm just not going to engage with it. Actually, I don't know enough about the topic to really speak on
I feel like I shouldn't be talking about politics anyway, which is the great cop out of this year.
But apparently, the movie's kind of getting shitty reviews.
No.
Really bad.
Right now, it's got a 43% on Rotten Tomatoes, which is the lowest for any scream film.
Higher than I expected, though.
Yeah.
On letterboxed, the user's reviews were put under a studio mandated embargo until the release day.
Like, wait, you're doing embargoes on letterboxed?
Because you don't, that's a great sign.
That's a great sign.
If you're like, don't let people poison the well before the fucking release.
They can do it after people have bought their tickets and are like, what the fuck was.
All of it down.
What the fuck was this shit?
Sorbo.
What do you do with here?
Oh, what the fuck?
Great, great scene.
I need a suggestion of a meatball sandwich I'm about to eat.
Oh, yeah, yeah, exactly.
What the fuck is this meatball sandwich?
It stinks like shit.
Okay.
and who am I to you in this scene?
Don't worry, you fucking meatball sub.
All right, and that's a, let's do another scene, guys.
Yeah, that's, all right.
Yeah.
Edit.
You know, I'm pissed that that scream has never,
they had never done the obvious thing,
which is have ghost face killer come in and kill the ghost face murder.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Put a bit of a movie.
I feel like that would have been in like scary, scary movie.
Like, was, that feels like a scary movie thing.
Yeah.
Like where if like they unmasked ghost face and it's Tony Stark himself ghost face killer.
Yeah.
From Wutan Klan.
I don't know.
That's just an idea because I know they're working on a new one right now.
Another scary movie?
Another scary movie.
That's going to be like sinners, weapons, a few other things.
They're going to they're going to lampoon in that one.
And it's like, curious what a parody movie looks like in this current era.
I'm really curious.
Carmen Electra said something about just like, I trust the Wayans brothers.
to make an uncancellable film.
I'm like, yeah, probably.
We'll see.
That shouldn't be the goal.
Yeah.
Just what if it's like funny?
I mean, obviously you don't want to be like terribly offensive and problematic, but like,
you're going to be good?
Eh, I don't know.
And then also like the reviews that, like you can see seem to be a combination of people
giving it like a low rating and also, you know, supporting Barrera and the movement
to Free Palestine.
And also people giving it a low rating because they saw it and they genuinely.
said it sucked shit basically.
So it's hard to know what's going on.
It's pretty funny when our America's worst movies can't help but become embroiled and
pop.
This is, you know what I mean?
Like, it's a shame we have to boycott the new Shark Nato or whatever, you know?
Right, right, right, right.
You should not have to give a shit about Scream 7.
Yeah, exactly.
And I've also like, Scream 7?
Yeah.
Were they?
Three through six.
What, I, yeah, exactly.
I'm like, I remember when Scream 3 came out, but I was like, no, guys, come on.
I gave you two of movies.
Like, we don't have to keep doing this.
Yeah.
But, hey, they fucking love squeezing every fucking penny out of IP.
Anything but empowering new creators.
Yeah.
Tell new stories.
Anything but that.
Totally.
Yeah, the dedication to artlessness is really stunning.
Yeah.
It's like, it's like pervasive.
I just like throughout every industry, I feel like on some level where you have like, like, like this older generation who's like not able to.
to take creative risks and doesn't understand that the people younger than them are totally
capable of doing that.
Yes.
Totally capable of creating something.
It's like, I don't know.
I mean, because I'm past it.
And I'm so, I'm so self-centered that I think that has to be the reality of every
other human being on earth.
Yep.
There's no way there's an audience for risky art in any way.
There's that, you know what I mean?
Yeah.
Also, when Scream came out, the whole thing with Scream was like, hey, that was pretty good for
a B movie.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Like, surprise.
I'm not bad for a movie that it should have been a piece of shit.
We don't need seven of those.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, I think it's just going through that thing.
It's like, look, horror is profitable and you can kind of make it for lower money.
And also, we can just keep trading on the name and hope that we'll come back.
Yeah, sure.
Again, horror is not my genre, as I famously said.
But Drew Barrymore is.
And that's why I faithfully watch the first screen.
Dude, now there's a nude AI development happening at Burger King, which,
Of course, I was like, when is fucking Burger King gonna wake up?
Yo, those onion rings already taste like AI, honestly.
Do they have onion rings?
Did they always have onion rings?
I don't know, but I've had them.
They taste not even bad, weird, which is worse than bad.
Every time I, there was a Burger King I used to go to in college, just like out of desperation.
And it always was just like, for whatever reason, felt the weirdest to eat.
Not like, not in an emotional way, like just.
Maybe that too.
There's like there's some grief.
There's something about it that's not interesting.
Like I just can't.
You know,
because like even with like Jack in the Box and McDonald's like,
they get how like stoner brains work.
Yeah.
But like burger and like Carl's Jr.
I fucking love a double Western bacon cheese.
Okay.
Sure.
2 a.m.
Yeah.
2 a.m.
Dude,
Santa Fe chicken.
I'm still fucking rock it with that.
But the burger king like every time like,
yeah,
bro, what the fuck?
Just tastes like shit, bro.
Yeah, you're like, if I'm risking bad fast food, you know what I mean?
It's so low on the list.
You just cheated on your girlfriend and it was awkward and awful.
You're like, oh, I did two awful things, right?
Oh, God.
What have I done?
What have I done?
The onion rings tastes like they're served with a handful of pennies or something.
Like, it's just the weirdest.
Yeah, it's copper wiring inside, too.
It's what you're tasting.
But anyway, they have a new AI chat bot.
called Patty that will, quote, live in the headsets used by employees.
The AI will be used to keep track of kitchen equipment and inventory and will also be used
as a coaching tool.
How you ask, by fucking monitoring the conversations employees are having with customers
and making sure they're saying, quote, certain words and phrases such as, welcome to Burger
King, please, and thank you.
It's also going to fucking tone police them.
and evaluate their friendliness, which is so fucking nightmarish.
Like having a fucking computer strapped to your head that's like, hey, fucker,
why don't you be nicer next time and say thank you?
Be a little more friendly.
They're piloting in 500 restaurants right now, and they say by the end of 2026,
it should be in every location.
So again, if you're feeling real down and out and you happen to be in Burger King,
you can really look forward to buying a whopper from just an exhausted person who's
getting electric shocks in their fucking head
because they're not smiling enough.
Yeah, we're inches away from like
forced neurolinking anybody who makes under 30-degree a year.
When do you think like the first like
stimulus-based, like,
where they're like, you're going to get a little bit of a sensation,
you know, to correct, but like when we just become full
like animals with shock collars.
Yeah, just a little bit.
You're going to feel a little buzz back there in your butt.
And that's when you know, tighten up.
Or we're going to tighten you up.
Um, they've got like, they've got full on like throat collars that are
like forcing them to go to the,
but I mean,
that's what it feels like the next thing, right?
Is like,
yeah,
the AI's like whispering you in your ear to like try and keep workers fucking obedient
and doing whatever the fuck they need to do.
But, you know,
like if you want to promote friendliness,
maybe fucking pay a living wage.
Yep.
Thank you, dude.
That's a hack.
And you don't have to fucking lean into this dumb fuck AI bubble and be like,
it would cost way less than you're spending on AI.
Yeah, yeah. Have you been to a fast food place in like a country with socialized health care?
Way different, the vibes in there.
I bet.
They're like, hey, hey, welcome.
Yeah, you want that great. Cool.
And you're like, what the fuck?
