In Season 1 of Bone Valley, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Gilbert King tells a story of a man, Leo Schofield, fighting to prove his innocence in the case of his wife Michelle’s murder. In Season 2, “JEREMY” Gilbert King brings us a story about her actual killer, Jeremy Scott, fighting to prove his guilt. The State of Florida does not believe either man. Bone Valley Season 3 | GRAVES COUNTY is a new story about a new case. A story that shares many familiar themes with the first two seasons of Bone Valley - an unspeakable crime, a dubious investigation, half-truths that ensnare innocent people, and heartbroken families caught in the middle. GRAVES COUNTY is hosted by Maggie Freleng, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and one of the hosts of Lava For Good’s Wrongful Conviction. Maggie is going to take us to a small town in Graves County, Kentucky, where a terrible discovery on the front lawn of a middle school invites a string of amateur and professional investigators to try to solve a murder. Maggie is the latest investigator to get pulled in. And she’ll take all of us along as she teases out this complicated web of rumors and lies, and perhaps even the truth. Bone Valley Season 3 | GRAVES COUNTY will be available every Wednesday beginning September 17 wherever you get your podcasts. To binge the entire season, ad-free, starting September 17, subscribe to Lava for Good+ on Apple Podcasts. Bone Valley is a production of Lava for Good™ Podcasts in association with Signal Co. No1.

Lizz Melgar Rose went from being interested in true crime to living true crime. Back in 2012, relatives found her mother Sandy Melgar shut in a closet, her hands bound behind her back. Her dad Jim Melgar had been murdered. There was no time to finish the university course Lizz had signed up for, inspired by her teenage fascination with violence and serial killers. She needed to figure out what happened. If it weren't for her strange interest, she believes she’d have been lost. It enabled her to protect her family and herself and helped her try to fit the pieces of a seemingly unsolvable puzzle together. Award-winning journalist and host Maggie Robinson Katz will take you inside the police investigation that followed, inside the courtroom drama as a jury wrestles with who’s responsible for a truly shocking crime, and inside Lizz’s ongoing battle for answers and for justice. Because there is one thing Lizz is convinced of, the wrong person is in prison for her dad’s murder.Hands Tied is a new eight part true crime podcast from iHeartPodcasts and BBC Studios.

Dirty Rush: The Truth about Sorority Life The Good, The Bad, and The Sisterhood. Rush, the recruitment, the ritual, the reality of Greek life has been a mystery for those outside the sorority circles…UNTIL NOW. Is it really a supportive sisterhood that’s simply misunderstood? Or is there something more scandalous happening on campuses across the country? In this podcast, we ‘pledge’ to peel back the layers and spell out the truth one Greek letter at a time. Pledges and Actives, Rush Chairs and Ritual Keepers, some call it the best time of their life while others say it’s a nightmare. From A Perfect Rush to Recruitment Scandals. What is really going on behind the doors of those sorority houses from Alpha to Omega? We’re taking you inside Sorority Row, including the Chapter room, as we explore the fellowship and the frenemies. No one has ever let these stories slip. With unfiltered access and no boundaries. We’re going much deeper than just instagrammable moments. From Rush to the Rituals, from Initiation to Alumni Status, it’s time to expose a right of passage that dates back to the 1800’s! Hollywood gave us their take on Greek Life with classics like ‘Animal House,’ ‘Revenge of the Nerds,’ and ‘Legally Blonde,’ but the truth is more dramatic than you can imagine. Let’s get Dirty. Dirty Rush, an iHeartRadio podcast. Rush begins August 4th.
