MURDERSHEET
About this episode

Karen Read is accused of murdering John O'Keefe. Her first trial ended in a mistrial. Her second murder trial has attracted much speculation, social media sleuthing, and attention. To unpack the latest, we turn to Brett and Alice from The Prosecutors podcast. They have been doing excellent coverage of the trial.

Sometimes we mess up technology on this podcast.

One time we made a reference to a train whistle but accidentally edited out the train whistle sound so nobody knew what we were talking about. 

I haven’t recovered from that. 

I don’t think I ever will. 

So we love when we find tech and apps that we can really use without worrying about messing up. We recently started using one one app that’s so good, so intuitive, so user-friendly that it’s us-proof. 

That’s Cash App. 

Setting this up was so easy and fast. We were able to get started using it right away. It’s such a convenient app for making payments. 

It makes payments personal. I love that you can customize payments with text and stamps and backgrounds — it’s very cute. 

If you aren’t using Cash App yet, then download it from your phone’s app store, sign up, enter our code MSHEET in your profile, send $5 to a friend, and you’ll get $10 just for getting started.

No extra hoops. Easy set up. Lots of security measures to protect you and your money from all kinds of heists … not that I would know anything about that. But seriously, Cash App even flags it if you might be sending money to a scammer — they are really looking out for you. In our minds, other digital wallet-type things before don’t come close. 

For a limited time only, new Cash App users can use our exclusive code to earn some additional cash. For real - there’s no catch. Just download Cash App & sign up! Use our exclusive referral code MSHEET in your profile, send $5 to a friend within 14 days, and you’ll get $10 dropped right into your account. Terms apply. That’s Money. That’s Cash App.
