Twitter; @Murdered_Momma Insta; Murdered_Momma -Momma Murdered A Podcast is a Podcast covering things that we all try to push out of our minds. Things that most people like to think could never happen to them or someone they love. People vanishing into thin air, someone being murdered simply for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Stories describing survivors who narrowly escaped death. Serial Killers who kill just for the sake of murder, and more. My biggest hope is to make the victims of each and every case more than a case file number and more than just another story that the media will report on for a week and then it gets forgotten about completely. I hope you'll tune in every Wednesday and join me; a momma of two, as I attempt to murder this podcast! Happy listening! ANDDDD, HAPPY WEDNESDAYYYYYY!

Radiolab reporter Latif Nasser always believed his name was uniquely his own. Until he makes a shocking discovery that he shares his name with another man: Detainee 244 at Guantanamo Bay. The U.S. government paints a terrifying picture of The Other Latif as Al-Qaeda’s top explosives expert, and an advisor to Osama bin Laden. Nasser’s lawyer claims that he was at the wrong place at the wrong time, and that he was never even in Al-Qaeda. This clash leads Radiolab’s Latif into a years-long investigation, trying to uncover what this man actually did or didn’t do. Along the way, Radiolab’s Latif reflects on American values and his own religious past, and wonders how his namesake, a fellow nerdy, suburban Muslim kid, traveled such a strikingly different path.

Perry Mason is a fictional defense attorney who originally appeared in detective fiction by Erle Stanley Gardner. This long running radio drama had several actors who played the famous lawyer starting with Bartlett Robinson and then followed by Santos Ortega, Donald Briggs, and finally John Larkin who played the famous attorney after 1947. The radio portrayal of Perry Mason is a far more involved lawyer then the one who became famous on TV, the radio version would rather swap gunshots with evildoers than sit in a boring courtroom, waiting for the deliberation! The show was only 10 minutes and was more intense and favored action than courtroom drama. Perry Mason ran 12 seasons and moved to TV in the late 1950's with the now famous portrayal by Raymond Burr. Each show follows a continues story line similar to soap operas. Join us as we join Perry Mason in crime mysteries and court room drama.
