During the 1-900 number craze of the Nineties, one company provided the vast majority of phone sex. American Telnet was an empire founded by the man who called himself "The Telephone Pimp." He ran the company "like General Motors" and got filthy rich doing it. But for the (mostly) women who answered the calls and delivered fantasies 24-7, it was a different story. The powerful stigma against sex work was always lurking just beneath the surface, until it threatened to tear apart the whole company. Hosted by Tina Horn (Why Are People Into That?), OPERATOR is an eight-part series about big ambitions, Shakespearean-level corporate backstabbing, men and women at the cutting edge of a technological revolution...and on the front lines of a sexual one.

A big Halloween party at an apartment complex in Redmond, Washington. Themed rooms and costumed partygoers. But by the end of the party, one of the hosts is dead. The police look to the partiers as the prime suspects: was it the guy in the devil mask, the bank robber, the construction worker? As investigators comb through forensic evidence, witness testimony, DNA, and even consult with a psychic, they zero in on one suspect in particular. But for what reason? Host and reporter Matthew Shaer (Over My Dead Body) returns to the scene of the crime, speaks with everyone about a night that still haunts them years later. It's a series about race and policing, mislaid justice, cutting-edge science, and the kinds of weighty choices that cops and prosecutors make every day -- choices that, once made, are difficult to reverse.

It's Friday which means it's time for another installment from ID Network's Blood Relatives- The Florida Files. Some may recognize the case of the Kynes from the ADWD patreon coverage of this wild story. For the rest of you, hold on to your Cheeto dust covered seat because it's a real who done it as both the detectives and Kimberly and Katie try to figure out who actually committed the heinous murder of doting mother Diane. Other than the usual symbolic creature and the focus on a series of household objects that mean everything (or nothing), FLESH AND BLOOD ask us perhaps the most important question of all... When all the tomorrows have become yesterdays, do the yesterdays become the secret to the future of our tomorrows? Yep, that's what we thought.

Kimberly and Katie continue on their journey of unraveling the many mysteries behind the ID Network show BLOOD RELATIVES. The crimes, the themes, the random assortment of objects... is it all related? Probably not. But we are in too deep now to not see it through to the end. The Season 4 opener "Fresh Heir" revolves around the murder of a wealthy Houston couple who are murdered in cold blood while they slept. K & K hardly know where to begin. With the clams? The unbreakable ceramic figurines? The incredibly foreboding home office decor? With the snappy PI who is taking down bad guys in the blink of an eye? No, they should probably start with a strong warning to anyone with a crippling fear of spiders. A somewhat hairy eight legged creature named Orvill makes his screen debut in this episode much to the chagrin of Kimber. So grab a slice of pie or string up that giant blanket loom and ask yourself one very important question. Are you Red-y for more Blood Relatives? Of course, you are. ID NETWORK: Blood Relatives Season 4 Episode 1 - Fresh Heir Official Description from INVESTIGATION DISCOVERY: In Houston, TX, a lawyer and his large family enjoy the high life until one of them gets too greedy and sparks a multigenerational war that ends in murder.

Wondery (Dr. Death, Dirty John, The Shrink Next Door) and NBC News (Dateline, The Thing About Pam, Motive for Murder) present Do No Harm. The Bright family was thrust into a medical and legal system so committed to protecting vulnerable children from abuse, it failed to protect innocent parents. From the hospital room to the courtroom, we walk in the footsteps of the Bright family as they battle to keep their children and fight against a system determined to tear them apart.

A night of new Dateline could be considered a “High Point” of the week. (If you have already watched the episode then that pun should be both welcomed an appreciated.) The episode is even better when it involves Queen Andrea Canning taking a small university community and police department to task over the possible murder of a Frat pledge, never thoroughly investigated. Kimberly and Katie are on the case and ready to add their scathing two cents about the alleged injustice. A hair/hare/heir filled case of perfect makeup and manners to match, University campus communal hot tubs, a mysterious scabby knee and more entitlement than you can shake $500 worth of glow-sticks at may just be the unraveling of K & K’s delicate southern sensibilities. As god as their witness, Kimberly and Katie will never be the same again!! Its time to get the vapors with the latest very, very, very special episode of A Date With Dateline. Official Description from NBCU: A High Point University student’s death at an off-campus apartment was ruled a drug overdose. But the student’s mother suspects it was something far more sinister. Andrea Canning reports. Please be sure to check out our great sponsor LOLA and see the awesome services they offer.
