  S18 Ep30: Beth Shelburne - Earwitness 02.08.2026 47m

  Beth Shelburne is the journalist and voice behind the Earwitness podcast.  Earwitness can be found as season 4 of the Bone Valley podcast. She dives deep into a horrific miscarriage of justice. Toforest Johnson was sentenced to death for the 1995 murder of a police officer, with no evidence connecting him to the crime. Prosecutors relied on multiple attempts at trials, multiple changing theories presented to the juries and the testimony of an "earwitness" who claimed to have overheard a phone call that incriminates Johnson. Beth digs deep to expose corruption and the wrongs the have left justice go unserved for decades in this case.The majority of the funding of our work comes directly from listeners, through our Patreon community.  To join Patreon, click THIS LINK.  At the $5/month level you'll get access to lots of Patreon Only BONUS EPISODES, Ad Free versions of all episodes, an hour of Patreon Exclusive video content every week, and our new weekly podcast “Pre-Game”, which drops every Wednesday.  Not to mention early access to some episodes and the ability to watch and participate in interviews live.Today’s Sponsors:Quince – Head to Quince.com/Ruff for free shipping and 365 day returns.

  S18 Ep26: Iris Eytan - Protect Ethical Prosecutors 05.07.2026 52m

  Bob is joined by Iris Eytan, the CEO of Protect Ethical Prosecutors, an organization focused on prosecutorial misconduct and accountability. Etan discusses her career in civil rights, public defense, and criminal defense, and says her path into law was shaped by work with people with mental illness and unhoused teens, as well as by her family background. She explains that her early cases led her to see recurring abuses in the criminal legal system, including failures to disclose evidence and other rule violations. Eytan says the organization was founded to educate the public, build a misconduct database, and pursue legal change in Colorado, including a possible ballot measure after legislative efforts were blocked. Eytan says Protect Ethical Prosecutors wants accountability for intentional, knowing, and reckless misconduct, while not targeting good-faith mistakes. She points to cases such as Richard Glossip’s and a Colorado disbarment case as examples, and encourages people to report misconduct, recognize ethical prosecutors, and get involved.The majority of the funding of our work comes directly from listeners, through our Patreon community.  To join Patreon, click THIS LINK.  At the $5/month level you'll get access to lots of Patreon Only BONUS EPISODES, Ad Free versions of all episodes, an hour of Patreon Exclusive video content every week, and our new weekly podcast “Pre-Game”, which drops every Wednesday.  Not to mention early access to some episodes and the ability to watch and participate in interviews live.Today’s Sponsors: Quince – Head to Quince.com/Ruff for free shipping and 365 day returns.Draft Kings – Download the app and sign up with code “Truth” to claim 1000 Flex Spins and check out the exclusive Cashingo game!
