This week on Without A Country, Corinne Fisher covers an enormous slate of political, true crime, and cultural stories, beginning with shocking allegations surrounding Costco's chicken supply chain, she then discusses the tragic murder of influencer Sara Gilson (Sarah Duffy) after she publicly accused her estranged husband of sexually abusing a minor. The centerpiece of the episode is an in-depth breakdown of the ongoing Lindsay Clancy trial, and, more specifically postpartum psychosis. Corinne also dives into the explosive BBC investigation into Jared Leto, discussing decades of allegations involving teenage girls and celebrity power. The show continues with updates on the mysterious death of Nolan Wells, as well as another suspicious death involving a young Black woman that has received far less national attention. Later, Corinne examines Daniel Ortega's announcement that Nicaragua will no longer hold democratic elections before reacting to newly released body-camera footage in the fatal police shooting of an unarmed teenager in Austin. The episode wraps up with a discussion of newly released material from Anthony Fauci's personal diaries and Elon Musk's latest AI lawsuit. PLUS: Boy George made a reggaeton son about genocide!

Corinne then talks about the Enemy Of The State, a congressman from Ohio accused of DV against his ex-wife and the daughter of a prominent senator. Corinne also covers the biggest news stories of the week including the recently unsealed Epstein note, Elon Musk and Sam Altman taking the stand as the pair argue over Open AI's conversion from a non-profit to a for profit industry and what it means for the future of AI labs, the horrific violence against women in Sudan and the Seattle tourist who got beaten up for messing with a seal. Later in the episode, Corinne talks about Spencer Pratt dominating the first mayoral debate in LA, why it now seems like he's the front runner in the race and what Angelinos can do before it's too late. The episode wraps up with some Trump updates including his summit in China, his love of corruption, going to war over trans admissions to Smith college plus Putin's millitary parade in Moscow and so much more!
