About this episode
Maggie Freleng, the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, joins Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell to discuss her career trajectory, starting from her early days in journalism to her work on the pivotal "Suave" podcast. She shares insights on the Maura Murray case, which she investigated, and the impact of true crime podcasts on public perception and law enforcement.
In this compelling episode, Freleng—creator of the acclaimed "Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County" podcast—discusses her journey from aspiring travel blogger to leading voice in wrongful conviction journalism. We’re exploring the fascinating dichotomy between accountability journalism and innocence work, with Liz Farrell describing it as "two batteries facing different directions" pressuring the justice system to function properly.
Freleng, Matney, and Farrell use their platforms to shine light on cases lost in darkness—whether due to corruption, negligence, or systemic failures.Follow Maggie Freleng on Instagram and stream Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County now.☕ Cups Up! ⚖️Episode References
