Pretend Radio, The Score: The Bank Robber Diaries, Dig

True crime lovers of the world unite, it's CRIME TIME on Castology this week. It's conmen, liars, and shysters with Zane's recommendation Pretend Radio. Liz took a break from murder (listening to it, not doing it) to recommend The Score: The Bank Robber Diaries. And then Nick does a deep dive into some pretty sobering systemic breakdowns with Dig. Then, it's review time for last week's recommendations.Liz Recommends - The Score: The Bank Robber Diarieshttps://play.acast.com/s/thescore"14 months. 30 Banks.

She expected them to quickly try to arrest the suspect. But an officer on the scene that night didn't seem to believe her. The detectives weren't convinced that a crime occurred. And a prosecutor rejected the case well before an arrest was even under consideration. In the first season of Dig, a new podcast from the Kentucky Center for Investigative Reporting, we bring you the results of a yearlong look at how rape cases are investigated in Louisville. What we've learned: here, the police defer to prosecutors on rape cases — and prosecutors reject the vast majority of cases presented to them. Due to this unusual relationship, most people accused of rape here will never face consequences. Most won't be arrested or convicted. And the case will be closed anyway.For both: From the start!https://www.npr.org/podcasts/782223781/digZane Recommends - Pretend Radiohttp://pretendradio.org/No blood and gore here!
