What happened during Maya Kowalski's hospital stay?
True Story Media. Hello, it's Andrea. First of all, thank you so much for all of the great feedback that you've sent us on our new in-between series format, Case Files. We got so, so many interesting responses about our Justina Pelletier mini series. And in fact, we're going to be following up on a few of those in upcoming episodes. So keep an eye out for that. I am really loving having these episodes to feature all of the many interesting things that end up in our inbox. You know, when I started this show, it seemed like the topic I was covering might be a bit niche, but it turns out there is just kind of endless stuff to talk about within the Nobody Should Believe Me extended universe. And I am so grateful to be able to keep doing this every week.
And it's all thanks to you. So today we are re-airing the first episode of season three, in which we covered the Kowalski v. Johns Hopkins all children's case, aka the story featured in the Netflix film Take Care of Maya. I still think about this case all the time because it is just a perfect example of how damaging unscrupulous media coverage in child abuse cases can really be. And also because the outcome of this case could set a massive precedent for future parents' rights cases. And this is only going to become a bigger issue in this country given the recent political shifts. So the Kowalski saga is very much ongoing as this verdict has been appealed. And there is a lot of drama going on behind the scenes with the legal team for the plaintiff.
And we will continue to update you on all of that on the main feed at some point. Our third season of the show is really unique because I covered this case as it was unfolding in real time. And we have, at last count, more than 20 episodes about the Kowalski case on the main feed.
How did the media portray the Kowalski case?
And this is in addition to truly innumerable hours of bonus content on the Patreon, where I did weekly trial recaps with Dr. Bex and have been covering all of the developments of the appeal. A fun thing about this episode is that this case is Dr. Bex's origin story here on Nobody Should Believe Me. She started talking to us in this very first episode as our secret Florida doctor friend. And as those of you who are subscribers will know, Dr. Bex now co-hosts our twice monthly subscriber show, Nobody Should Believe Me After Dark. And speaking of subscribing, that is one of the very best ways that you can support everything that we are doing over here. You can subscribe on Apple Podcasts or on Patreon.
And on the latter platform, we have a free tier where I unlock episodes for free listening from time to time. So for a limited time, I'm going to make all of our kowalski content free to listen to over there so if you want to join dr becks and i on an absolutely obsessive deep dive about this case you can go do that right now we will be back next week with a new episode to keep you company on your thanksgiving travels and our new full season is coming at you the first week of january now 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.
