Shmuley Boteach Admits He Charged for Access to the Adelson Family
On July 7, Shmuley Boteach, under his legal name Jacob Shmuel Botach, sued a ghostwriter named Dan Williams in Bergen County Superior Court. Williams had spent years trying to get a memoir deal with Miriam Adelson. Boteach says he was owed 25 percent of whatever Williams made from it, and he wants a judge to make Williams turn over “every Adelson-related contract, invoice, payment, advance, royalty, consulting fee, writing fee, editing fee, ghostwriting fee, travel reimbursement, expense reimbursement, or other remuneration” so the cut can be calculated.

The Innocence of Jerry Sandusky
Jerry Sandusky may be back in the news, but this conversation argues the real story was broken from the start. John Ziegler, host of Death of Journalism, makes the case that the Penn State scandal was driven by a moral panic, bad reporting, and a rush to judgment that turned the public narrative upside down.Ziegler has spent years digging into the Sandusky case, and he walks through the evidence he says the media missed - starting with the Mike McQueary testimony, the changing timeline, and the details that he believes make the original accusation collapse. If you think you know this case, this episode will challenge almost everything you remember.You'll discover why the March 1, 2002 date mattered so much, how prosecutors later changed it, and why Ziegler believes that shift breaks the story wide open. He also explains why McQueary's actions, the alleged shower incident, and the famous Joe Paterno chain of events don't add up the way most people were told.We break down the role of Aaron Fisher, the broader Second Mile charity network, and why Ziegler says the case attracted accusations from a pool of deeply troubled former at-risk kids. He also takes on the Chris Cuomo interview, the credibility questions around victim narratives, and the bizarre incentives that can emerge when media attention, therapists, lawyers, and prosecutors all converge on one explosive story.Then the conversation turns to Joe Paterno - why Penn State folded so fast, why the board fired him in the middle of a panic, and why Ziegler thinks the Paterno family remains trapped by the decision to back McQueary from the beginning. It is a detailed, provocative, and uncompromising defense of Sandusky's innocence that will leave listeners rethinking one of the most infamous scandals in sports history.Essential listening if you followed the Penn State case, care about media failures, or want to hear the full argument behind one of the most controversial claims of the 21st century.John Ziegler is the host of Death of Journalism and the creator of With the Benefit of Hindsight, a roughly 100-hour deep-dive podcast on the Penn State case. He is known for his aggressive media criticism and his long-running investigation into the Sandusky scandal.

Clavicular Visits Israel
In this solo episode, Daniel Mael discusses the controversy surrounding online personalities and argues for a more rational approach to difficult conversations about antisemitism, Israel, and internet culture. Using Clavicular as a case study, he examines the difference between condemning harmful ideas and permanently writing off individuals, while exploring how social media amplifies outrage, shapes perceptions of morality, and influences younger audiences. Rather than relying on public shaming or smear campaigns, Daniel makes the case for education, honest dialogue, and the possibility of personal growth, emphasizing that the goal should be to reduce hatred, encourage critical thinking, and foster a more informed understanding of Israel, Jewish issues, and broader societal values.
