Welcome to "The Broken System Podcast," where we delve into the intricate web of societal challenges that individuals face when caught in the crosshairs of a flawed system. Join us as we shine a light on the untold stories of those marginalized by circumstances beyond their control – whether it's the impact of drugs, the world of prostitution, or the weight of financial disparity.
In each episode, we unravel the complex narratives that often remain hidden beneath the surface, exploring the human experiences and emotions that arise when individuals find themselves grappling with a world that seems stacked against them. With empathy and insight, we engage in conversations that seek to understand the systemic forces at play, the personal battles fought, and the resilience that emerges from the shadows.
Through thought-provoking interviews, in-depth research, and poignant storytelling, "The Broken System Podcast" aims to foster a deeper understanding of how these issues intersect and perpetuate cycles of disadvantage. By amplifying voices that are often unheard, we strive to ignite conversations that lead to positive change, empathy, and a collective effort to mend a system that has left far too many behind.
Join us on a journey of discovery, empathy, and empowerment as we explore the stories that challenge our perceptions and inspire us to work towards a more just and equitable society for all. #thebrokensystempodcast

The Broken System - Season 1 Episode 4 - DJ Fickey - The Interview - Part 1
The Broken System Podcast
05/25/23 • 78 min
Season One, Episode Four, Five and Six. Today's episode is titled "Interviews."
In this episode, we will delve into the intriguing interviews conducted between the detectives and our person of interest, Mark. Together, we will analyze and break down these conversations, uncovering inconsistencies that shed light on the ever-changing narrative.
By examining the thought processes of the detectives and Mark, we aim to reveal the numerous occasions where confusion arises. The detectives find themselves confused by the statements made, repeatedly seeking clarification and asking probing questions. They question why certain details were concealed during the initial interview and why the truth seemed elusive as the story evolved.
Throughout this episode, we will present you with the actual interviews, allowing you to hear Mark's words firsthand. This audio evidence goes beyond the police reports and 911 calls we explored in previous episodes. Our intention is to emphasize the inconsistencies that have emerged in this case and highlight the problems that plagued it from the very beginning.
Despite these glaring discrepancies and the challenges faced early on, it continues to baffle me that Mark remains free from incarceration. How is it possible that no charges have been filed against him? This fact truly astonishes me. I find myself questioning why justice has not been served.
Rest assured, we will continue to raise our voices u

The Broken System - Season 2 - Episode 5: The Case of Temujin Kensu - Part 2
The Broken System Podcast
10/10/23 • 54 min
Does justice always prevail? We challenge this notion as we unpack the complex and controversial case of Temujin Kensu. We dissect the numerous irregularities and discrepancies that marred the trial, from the conspicuous absence of physical evidence to questionable eyewitness testimony. Just how did a faulty photo lineup and a dubious jailhouse informant contribute to Temujin Kensu's conviction?
We then grapple with the shocking conflicts of interest tied to Temujin Kensu's legal representation. Unearth the harrowing truth about David Dean, Temujin Kensu's lawyer, who was later disgraced and disbarred for professional misconduct. Discover how Dean's compromised ethical standing and subsequent negligence left Temujin Kensu defenseless, further tainting the already questionable trial proceedings.
Finally, stand with us as we vigorously advocate for Temujin Kensu's release. Feel the frustration as we shed light on the prosecution's misleading tactics and lack of thorough investigation into other plausible suspects. Hear our call to action for listeners everywhere to join us in urging Governor Whitmer to rectify this terrible miscarriage of justice. Engross yourself in this riveting journey through a broken justice system and get inspired to enact change.
Please enact change by reaching out to Gov Whitmer Daily at https://somgovweb.state.mi.us/GovRelations/Co
