episode 187: The Murdaugh Murders
There are several documentaries. A podcast series. A live televised trial. So what is the deal with the 'Murdaugh Murders' that seem to be all over the news? One of the most wealthy, important families in an entire state suddenly having all their secrets laid bare? Of course people are obsessed.

episode 179: KONY 2012
It was the 30 minute 'documentary' that had an absolute grip on the world. Kony 2012 was the first Youtube video to reach 100 million views in less than a week. Everybody on the planet seemed swept up in the attempt to 'Make Kony Famous'. We shared the video along with the #Kony2012 hashtag. We donated. We agreed to 'COVER THE NIGHT'. Even Oprah was excited. Then, less than two weeks later, it all came crashing down (and the term 'slacktivism' was born)...
