ABOUT THIS EPISODE
A botched execution in Tennessee, a firing squad in Texas, record-setting executions in Florida, and a possible mass commutation of death sentences in California. America's death penalty debate is back in the spotlight. Michael is a longtime supporter of capital punishment, but admits he's questioning his position more than ever. Is the death penalty justice or revenge? Does it deter crime? And what happens when the justice system gets it wrong? Michael examines the latest developments and takes calls from listeners on both sides of this deeply divisive issue. Original air date 8 October 2026. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
