Mel makes her triumphant return to hear about what she missed. Plus, we talk about the Kouri Richins sentencing hearing, the cancelation of Aidan Kearney's big motion to dismiss hearing, and some events that have unfolded on the unholy website called X.
152: FOIA and Find Out with Emily See
2026-05-15 | 1h 21 mins.
Emily See joins Rebecca to talk about her FOIA journey and the (very dumb) discourse around crowdfunding for public records.
There’s the official story. And then there’s the truth.
The In Between is an investigative narrative podcast that digs into cases where the facts got buried, distorted, or deliberately ignored. Hosted by journalist and screenwriter Mel Barrett, each season unpacks one story that was never fully told, blending deep reporting, legal analysis, and raw personal narrative.
Mel doesn’t just rehash headlines—she goes digging. She’s spent over a decade uncovering new evidence in the Pamela Smart case, work that helped form the basis of a new habeas petition. In Season One, she revisits the trial that made Smart a national villain—and questions everything we thought we knew.
Season Two, From Victim to Accused: The Veronika Rodriguez Story, pulls back the curtain on a case where a 26-year-old Air National Guard member reported a sexual assault—and ended up the one in handcuffs. What happened next is more than a miscarriage of justice. It’s a warning.
This is the space between the crime and the courtroom, the headlines and the hidden truth. This is The In Between.
