Elie Honig is a Senior legal analyst at CNN. We bonded over our Jersey roots and love of Italian food. We cover the code of ethics and conduct within the mafia, our cultural obsession with the mob, and I am most proud that I got him to agree (slightly reluctantly), that Mob bosses are akin to cult leaders!

I had so much fun talking with Amanda Montell, a linguist, who uses that background as the lens through which to explore cults. Between that and her Dad coming of age in the cult, Synanon, she has a lot to say about cults, and the language we all have grown used to which is ... cultish. This is a fascinating and funny conversation and will make you think twice next time you go to Soul Cycle, recovery meeting, or Boss Babe seminar.

I spoke with Brittany Bookbinder who is covering his current trial for the 2000 murder of Susan Berman in Los Angeles. Along with Kary Antholis, Brittany reports for, and co-hosts the podcast, JURY DUTY: The Trial of Robert Durst.

First of all, #FREEBRITNEY

I was lucky ( subtle Britney reference) enough to grab some time with my friend and podcast colleague, Dr. Scott, of LA Not So Confidential Podcast. As a former dancer and forensic psychologist who works with clients facing conservatorships, he was the perfect guest to break down the ongoing legal saga around Britney Spears' conservatorship.

Kara Robinson Chamberlain shook things up on TikTok when she shared her story of surviving an 18 hour kidnapping and assault at the young age of 15. She went on to work in law enforcement, and in victims assistance, and she now spends her time parenting and empowering others to survive and thrive after trauma. Kara is producing a documentary about her story that will premier in the fall on Oxygen. She is light, bright and incredible; a true force to be reckoned with, and I am grateful she was on the podcast.
