Welcome, welcome.
Welcome to armchair expert.
Experts on Expert.
I'm Dax shepherd, and I'm joined by Monica Padman.
Hi.
I couldn't say Dan Shepard today because our guest is Dan.
That would have gotten really confusing.
You're right.
Dan Slepien, he is an award winning investigative producer and a veteran Dateline producer, which we love.
We love our Dateline.
Yeah.
The topics rough, but he's a party.
Yes.
And he's a great storyteller.
So you hear really intense stories, but you're riveted.
Yes.
And his retention of all the players is really second to none.
Yeah.
He has a book out September 10 called the Sing Sing Files.
One journalist, six innocent men in a 20 year fight for justice.
