Let?s talk about one sponsor we?re especially excited about: The Silver Linings Handbook with Jayson Blair! 

If you?ve listened to our show, you?ve heard from Jayson ? he?s always got excellent insights on true crime. Well, you?re in luck ? he?s also got a wonderful weekly podcast that?s all about fascinating conversations with inspiring people. 

The thing about Jayson is that he?s one of the most compassionate and interesting people we know, which definitely helps him out on the interviewing front. Listening to the Silver Linings Handbook feels like sitting around a campfire with interesting storytellers. You?ll get into topics like he criminal justice system, spirituality, and mental health. It?s all thoughtful and human-centric. 

We?ve so enjoyed getting to go on the Silver Linings Handbook to talk about true crime in the past. Jayson always makes us believe in the bright side of true crime, and I always end up endlessly quoting him afterwards. These talks are just so engaging  ? as well as being completely unscripted and authentic! 

He?s a person whose experiences with loss and failure have helped him rebuild and shape into the empathetic, kind person we know and love. And that?s ultimately what the Silver Linings Handbook is about. Growing together, understanding one another, and moving forward with greater compassion.

The 1991 murder of Dana Ireland on Hawaii's Big Island has been full of twists and turns. Last year, a man who had served 26 years for that crime was formally exonerated by DNA evidence. Earlier this year, DNA evidence implicated another man. Police confronted him ? and then let him go. He soon died by suicide.

What's going on? How did all of this happen? To get answers, we spoke with Ken Lawson, the co-director of Hawaii's Innocence Project.

We are more than thrilled to introduce our next wonderful sponsor: The Silver Linings Handbook with Jayson Blair! This is an excellent weekly podcast where Jayson interviews people from all walks of life ? these are interesting people engaging in conversations that inspire. 

Jayson is one of the most compassionate and thoughtful people we?ve ever met. We?ve been on Silver Linings Handbook, he?s been on The Murder Sheet. The thoughts he?s shared with us on the Delphi murders case and true crime in general are just so insightful. We definitely find myself citing Jayson a lot. He makes us believe in the bright side of true crime, the compassionate side, the side that can really make a positive difference in the world. He?s really helped us adjust to some of the challenges around reporting on true crime and tragedy ? and that is very much in keeping with his show. 

Listening to the Silver Linings Handbook is very much like getting to sit around a campfire with a fascinating group. It?s fun, it?s intriguing, it?s surprising, it?s often about learning and growing from suffering. You get to hear important conversations that can inspire you to consider new perspectives and take action in your own life. You also get to learn so much on mental health, wellbeing, the criminal justice system, religion, and more!

Jayson is someone that we think is just a terrific person. He?s been through a lot and he?s worked on his mental health. He?s rebuilt. Those experiences have helped shape him into a truly empathetic person ? somebody who gets what it?s like to have your world turned upside down. He brings that gift to his interviews. These are unscripted, authentic, engaging talks. 

Jayson covers true crime, but his podcast gets into so much more. Silver Linings Handbook really makes us have hope for the future and a belief in humanity. If you?re into true crime, this is the perfect thing for you ? it?s human stories that don?t shy away from the bad stuff while still being incredibly life-affirming and hopeful. 

Subscribe to the Silver Linings Handbook wherever you listen to podcasts.

For many of us, our first foray into the world of the art of detection came as we followed the footsteps of Sherlock Holmes. Reading the stories of the great detective's adventures with Dr. Watson may have been what turned some of us into life long lovers of mysteries-- both fiction and the real life variety. 

One of the best modern writers about Sherlock is Nicholas Meyer. His first novel about the great detective-- the Seven Per Cent Solution-- was published back in 1974 and related the until then unchronicled tale of how Sigmund Freud helped Holmes overcome his addiction to cocaine. It was later made into a film. Since then, Meyer has continued to periodically revisit Holmes, writing several more engaging tales about the detective.

And now he is back with another Sherlock Holmes story-- though all of them have been wonderful, this new one is probably his best. Sherlock Holmes and the Telegram from Hell spells out the fascinating and heretofore untold story of a crucial secret mission Holmes and Watson undertook in the United States during the first world war-- at a time when America was not yet involved in the conflict.

On June 3, 2011, in the city of Bloomington, Indiana, 20-year-old Indiana University student Lauren Spierer went out on the town. She never returned. Over a decade later, she has still not been found. Her family still waits on answers.

For years, rumors and speculation have persisted about Lauren encountering a predator, centering killers like Daniel Messel and Israel Keyes. That all requires a stranger to have abducted Lauren within a very small window of time, while also somehow contriving to fail to appear on any surveillance footage.

More salient questions remain around the young men who were last known to be around Lauren. Young men whose stories remain vague. Jay Rosenbaum, Lauren's friend. Corey Rossman, Rosenbaum's neighbor who was out with Lauren when she was visibly intoxicated. Michael Beth, Rossman's room mate who says he interacted with Lauren that night.

Shawn Cohen was one of the first reporters on the case. Recently, he came out with a book on the case: College Girl, Missing. This book doesn't just recount the anguish of this infamous missing persons case. It dispels misinformation and moves the story forward. See, Cohen strived to track down the young men at the heart of the case, including Spierer's boyfriend Jesse Wolff. He even got some of them on the record. His book is a compelling look at a case that has long haunted both Bloomington, Indiana, New York's Westchester County, and beyond.
