• Listen Now: The Competition
    May 25 2024

    Every summer for the past seven decades, 50 high school seniors—one from every state—descend on Mobile, Alabama to take part in one of the country’s most lucrative scholarship competitions for teen girls.


    The Competition takes you behind the scenes of the Distinguished Young Women (DYW) program, and follows seven girls as they experience the highs and lows of competing for two weeks, away from home and under the most high-stress circumstances. Some girls enter for the money, some for prestige. All of them are used to being the best and the brightest. But only one will walk away with the top prize.


    Host Shima Oliaee (Dolly Parton’s America, Pink Card) was Nevada’s contestant in 2001. More than 20 years later, she returns to Alabama as a judge. What can two weeks with 50 of the country’s most ambitious teens tell us about girlhood in America?

  • Introducing Raynella Leath | Married to Death from My Life of Crime with Erin Moriarty
    Jun 21 2023

    The trial of Raynella Leath is unlike anything Erin Moriarty has covered before. It all began in 2003 with a frantic call to 911 when Raynella said she found her second husband David Leath dead of a single gunshot wound and called 911 to report it as a suicide. However, his autopsy said otherwise, and 14 years later, Raynella stood in court on trial for his murder. Hear the beginning of Raynella Leath’s story and how the widow’s web begins to unravel. This is the first episode of Married to Death from My Life of Crime with Erin Moriarty, available on Amazon Music or wherever you get your podcasts. New episodes on Wednesdays.
