Whispers in the Cell: The Murderer Who Painted Butterflies
Introduction In the dim silence of a maximum-security prison cell, a man sits cross-legged on the floor, a small canvas balanced on his knees. Around him, instead of walls soaked in anger or despair, hang vibrant paintings—each one a delicate butterfly captured mid-flight, wings spread in intricate patterns of color. This man, known to the world as a murderer, is now quietly becoming something else entirely: an artist. His story is not one of innocence or forgiveness, but one of transformation. It is a tale that echoes through prison bars, art galleries, and the hearts of those who still believe that even the darkest souls can seek light.

The Robben Island Letter
The cell Nelson Mandela’s cell on Robben Island was 7 feet by 8 feet. A bucket for sanitation. A thin mat for sleep. The walls, damp with sea air, bore no calendars. Time blurred. But every morning, as guards clanged iron bars, Mandela recited a mantra: *“They can take my body, not my mind.”*

Son of Sam and the Shadows: Digging Deeper Than the Headlines
If you’ve spent any time in the trenches — whether that’s a radio car, detective squad room, a courtroom, or just the back booth of a greasy spoon — you know the “Son of Sam” story. David Berkowitz, the .44 Caliber Killer, terrorized New York City in the late ’70s, leaving a trail of bodies and fear in his wake. But the headlines never told the whole story. They never do. That’s why I sat down and produced “Son of Sam and the Shadows,” a video podcast that doesn’t just rehash the old facts. It drags the case out of the archives and into the harsh light, where the shadows start to move.
