For the Weekend Warriors, Weirdos & Whackjobs - Issue #24
Ahoy there, subscribers and accidental clickers. We got stuff in here for ya.
What’s good, bullshiters and hunters? Mutually exclusive, and not. This week, the paragon of humility, Somebody Else’s Lawyer, authored Secondary Trauma and Juries. The piece explores the emotional strain of jury duty, and how we’ve come to understand the potential for secondary trauma during juror service. We loved it, and you will, too.
All was relatively calm and quiet here at BSH HQ this week, and we hope the weekend brings you similarly soothing vibes. Grab yourself a coffee, a tea, any other brew of your choice, and indulge in some of our favourites from the week.
What Justin Watched
The Antisocial Network (IMDB) — another fascinating look at Internet culture, the origins of the ‘chan’ movement, with some familiar ground covered in the Anonymous and hacking scenes gives a solid documentary. It is also fascinating to watch as people who were children, or young adults, grow up and look back on some of their troll behaviour and see that it was much worse than trolling. I couldn’t help shake the feeling that I felt more understood by the misfits in this show than any detective or PI in a true crime series.
What Someone Else’s Lawyer Listened To
FBI Retired Case File Review — Gerri Williams, a retired FBI agent, invites other retired FBI agents on to discuss their favorite, most difficult, or most confounding cases. Stepping outside the predominant flavors of “true crime” podcasts (the tabloid-slick serial, thoughtful long-form documentary, and chatty, gossipy, dark humor audio-zine) the host’s stated goal is to provide an accurate, authentic portrayal of the FBI, and the work of its agents.
