When his eighteen-year-old twin brother Anh gets into a drunken fight at a party, Trung stabs his attacker. San Jose police place both identical twins in a lineup, and witnesses mistakenly say Anh was the one who delivered the fatal blow…a mistake neither brother cares to correct. Their silence was born from their intense fraternal bond, as well as being Vietnamese immigrants in street gangs where snitching is a dangerous proposition. But Anh’s resentment festers as Trung’s guilt for his actions grows. Will one of them spit out the truth or will they both swallow a lie?

In the podcast “Blood Will Tell” from Wondery and Campside Media, host Jen Miller frames Trung and Anh’s story in Shakespearean terms, a tragedy about how far someone will go to protect a loved one. As the brothers recount their life stories and explain their actions, Miller eventually gets the two to address the consequences of their decisions on their brotherly bond.

The Georgia Guidestones were a 19‑foot‑tall, Stonehenge‑like tourist attraction commissioned in 1980 by an anonymous benefactor. Its purpose was unclear, and its granite inscriptions about population control made some uneasy. When an explosion destroyed the Guidestones in 2022, some brushed it off as a prank. But controversy around the monument had been growing among evangelicals, right‑wing politicians, and conspiracy theorists. The unsolved case has raised the question of who blew up the Georgia Guidestones — and the more troubling question of why.

The podcast “Who Blew Up the Guidestones?” from The Atlanta Journal‑Constitution and Goat Rodeo digs into the case, exploring the monument’s mysterious origins, its enigmatic purpose, and the many groups who wanted it destroyed. Host Tyler O’Brien investigates the explosion and identifies a new suspect. Was the bombing an act of mindless vandalism or a sinister act of domestic terrorism?
