CLASSIC: The Afghanistan Papers

The United States invaded Afghanistan on October 7th, 2001 and remains embroiled in the conflict almost two decades later, making this the longest war in US history. Leaders from both of the dominant political parties continually argued that this was a winnable war, proposing new strategies, more troops, and more surges. Yet documents obtained by The Washington Post show that the long-running internal conversations painted a different -- and vastly more disturbing -- picture. Tune in to learn more about the Afghanistan Papers in tonight's Classic episode.

Introducing: Bone Valley Season 2

In 1987, 18-year-old Michelle Schofield was found dead in a phosphate pit in Florida. Two years later, her husband Leo was convicted and sentenced to life in prison. Fifteen years later, previously unidentified fingerprints matched Jeremy Scott--a violent teenager who lived nearby. Jeremy has since confessed to Michelle’s murder. Yet, Leo Schofield remains behind bars. In season 2 of Bone Valley, host Gilbert King turns his focus on Jeremy Scott. He attempts to find out what turned Jeremy into a cold-blooded killer and who else may have suffered his wrath. King is the author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning book, "Devil in the Grove," which led to the exonerations of four innocent men.

The Prior Authorizations Conspiracy: EviCore

It's a story sadly all-too familiar with so many people in the United States: you're on the cusp of receiving medication, surgery or treatment that could save your life -- only for your insurance company to deny the treatment you've paid for. Through the practice of "prior authorization," private insurance companies bypass doctors to decide whether or not a patient is allowed to receive medical treatment. In tonight's episode, Ben, Matt and Noel explore the controversy surrounding the nation's largest manufacturer of "prior approvals" -- and learn the nuts and bolts of a conspiracy built on endangering innocent people in pursuit of profit.

Love the Show hate the ads

I really love this show and I find it to be lighthearted, but very informative. They take a balance approach when talking about a subject, and don’t fear into far off theories.. However, the intuit ad with the girl is very weird , slightly sexual, and extremely annoying. It’s very annoying when dozing off to sleep or enjoying the podcast to hear a loud family girl type voice suggesting you should use into it so that you can get more of her. Bizarre and very off putting.
Shame on you! Rape descriptions need a warning. What happened to yall? Disappointed.

Long time listener- You CAN NOT give a graphic rape description without disclosing it. It made me so upset to hear about this form of rape AND as I’m falling asleep. I didn’t even know that was possible. Gross. Inappropriate and not expected from you. Shame on you for telling me about how these graphic rapes are performed - with the cuts and stds and aids. That’s what these guys shared. I’m not okay with this. So disappointed.

We’ve been listening to this podcast for a long time. In the beginning we really enjoyed it however recently a lot of random banter and the topic is barely touched. May try again down the road. Hopefully it turns around.
