COJ #200 - Cups Up to 200: Dr. Annie Andrews & the Wildest Senate Race in SC History
10/20/2026 | 48 mins.Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell are joined by US Senate Candidate Dr. Annie Andrews, the pediatrician running in the wildest U.S. Senate race in South Carolina history.
Annie takes us inside the whirlwind — a sitting senator’s untimely passing, a sister appointed to his seat, one 60-minute debate — and makes her closing argument on the issues the other side won’t touch: gas and grocery prices, rural hospitals, data centers steamrolling communities, and passing gun laws so fewer kids end up with bullet wounds.
Early voting runs through Halloween. Election Day is November 3.

10/06/2026 | 1hInvestigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell are joined by attorney Mandy Powers Norrell as the Greg Alexander story gets stranger. Joe McCulloch tells Court TV he's never met the client he's representing before the state grand jury.
Team Murdaugh's motion outs the alleged tipster — a municipal judge with her own Murdaugh family ties, per Swamp King — and may have named the wrong law enforcement witness entirely.
MPN breaks down the defense's real playbook: pick, pick, pick until you find a Colucci-sized discovery violation, with the same SLED agent in the middle of both cases.
Plus: what SC law actually says about grand jury secrecy, why John Marvin's farm-truck route still doesn't add up to a prosecutor's eye, Dick Harpootlian's "dearest Creighton" letterhead era, his Pee Wee Gaskins audiobook, and the confidence drip we all need — rebranded, for obvious reasons.

09/29/2026 | 1hInvestigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell are again joined by Atlanta attorney Noah Pines for a rare glimmer of accountability in South Carolina: Judge Carmen Mullen is finally headed to a public disciplinary hearing — not over the Satterfield settlement, but over the night she was recorded trying to get a deputy to arrest a man for the crime of being weird in his own home.
Mandy, Liz, and Noah break down the dash-cam audio, how the ODC process works, and why Georgia's "Grim Reaper" cleans up its bench while South Carolina's judges cling to power.
Then: reports that the state grand jury is looking at Yemassee Police Chief Greg Alexander in connection with the Murdaugh murder weapons — plus the $5,000 check Alex Murdaugh wrote him two weeks after the murders, and the greatest denial in Lowcountry history: "I ain't no cat. I don't cover up no doo doo."

09/22/2026 | 59 mins.Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell are joined by Beth Braden to break down another wild Friday of filings.
First: Greg Parker's team fires off a 38-page response in the Beach case that mentions Mandy 27 times — complete with bitchy footnotes, italicized accusations of "targeted advocacy," and [sic]s for the crime of typing "yall" — proving once again that in South Carolina, the system punishes the people who call it out.
Then, disturbing developments in the Mica Francis Miller story: an anonymous Facebook page pushing JP's "proof," Mica's mother appealing the probate court's estate ruling, and the police reports Horry County ignored while Mica begged for help.
Finally, Beth introduces her new podcast, Time of Death, investigating the case of Gary Wayne Sutton — a Tennessee man facing a December 3 execution even though the state stipulated it has no eyewitnesses, no confession, and no physical evidence tying him to the crime.

09/15/2026 | 1h 6 mins.Cups up to Katie Phang! The former prosecutor, trial attorney, and MSNBC anchor joins investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell for a conversation about what happens when you refuse to stay quiet.
Katie opens up about the day her show was canceled, why she walked away from her network contract to build independent media on her own terms — and the landmark lawsuit she filed against the DOJ for illegally redacting and withholding the Epstein files.
Plus: her mantra "truthful, but not neutral," what trauma-informed journalism means to the survivor community, why access journalism is failing the White House press room, and the gatekeepers who love telling women what a "real journalist" is.
