What is the focus of the new Case Files series on Rady Children’s?
True Story Media. Hello, it's Andrea. Today, we have the first part in our new series about the lawsuit in San Diego involving Ratty Children's. This is a frequently requested topic for Case Files, and I'm incredibly thankful to Dr. Becks, who is taking on the lion's share of the research and reporting on this one. Those of you who've been with us for a while may remember that I started off my coverage of a similar lawsuit in Florida, Kowalski v. Johns Hopkins All Children's, intending to make it a four-part miniseries. Dozens of episodes, and I don't even want to know how many hours later, here we are. So, four-part miniseries has really become the three-hour tour of this show. So I will say that we are starting off with four episodes about this case to get you up to speed on what's going on. But much like Kowalski, this is going to be parts one through four of question mark number of episodes, because we will certainly continue our coverage as we learn more about this case and as it unfolds in real time.
And before we jump in, I really want to thank you because it is truly incredible that this show is able to support as much original reporting as it does. This kind of coverage takes a lot of resources in terms of time, fact checking, interviews, editing and production, legal guidance, etc. And I feel so grateful that we, as an independent show, are able to do it. It's safe to say that we are the only media outlet covering these cases in depth on an ongoing basis, and while I often feel like I am a combo between a newsroom and a documentary studio, I am very happy that the team and I are able to take this on. So if you are wondering why I always start these episodes off with a reminder of how to support the show, such as subscribing on Apple Podcasts and Patreon, where you get ad-free listening and two bonus episodes a month,
or rating and reviewing the show, commenting on Spotify, sharing with friends, shopping our sponsors, to give just a few examples, well, it's because we really need that support to do this reporting. And especially given the current economic climate, you better believe that I do not take this for granted a single day in my life. So again, thank you. And please let us know what you think and let us know which pieces of this case you would like us to explore in our future episodes on it, as well as any other requests you have for Case Files episodes. You can send us an email or voice memo to hello at nobody should believe me dot com or leave a comment on Spotify. And with that, on with the show.
Just a quick reminder that my new book, The Mother Next Door, Medicine, Deception, and Munchausen by Proxy, is on sale right now wherever books are sold. The book was an Amazon editor's pick for nonfiction, and the Seattle Times called it a riveting deep dive into MVP. And if you are an audiobook lover and you like hearing my voice, which I'm assuming you do since you're listening here, You should know that I narrate the audiobook as well. If you have already read the book, which I know so many of you have, thank you so much. Please let me know your thoughts and questions at helloandnobodieshouldbelieveme.com and we will bring my co-author, Detective Mike Weber, on for a little book Q&A and post-retirement tell-all special. Thanks for your support.
We are Theresa and Nemo and that's why we switched to Shopify. The platform that we used before Shopify needed regular updates, which sometimes led to the shop not working. Finally, our Nemo Boards shop also makes a good figure on mobile devices. And the illustrations on the boards are now much, much clearer, which is also important to us and what also makes our brand.

So hello, Dr. Becks. Thank you so much for being here with us today and for your amazing reporting and research on this case. This is a real doozy. Frankly, we could easily do an entire season on it. But as time is of the essence and it takes us quite a long time to do a season, we really wanted to get this on the feed. And so we are going to be covering it
