Emmanuel chats with Emma Courtland about her show, Crime Show. And then, we hear an episode from the show. When teenager Hillary Transue made a MySpace page poking fun at her vice principal, she never imagined it would land her in a juvenile detention facility—and that to get out, she would need to expose a corruption scheme that ran to the highest echelons of the state's judicial system.

Hey, everyone.
We're really hard at work on a new episode for you guys, but I think we have something super exciting for you guys this week.
It's a story from one of our newest shows here at Gimlet.
It's a show called Crime show, and I'm joined by the host, Emma Courtland.
Hey, Emma.
Hi, Emmanuel.
How you doing?
I'm really good.
That was such a big sigh that I feel like is only the sigh of someone who's on a reporting trip, which is where you are, right?
Yeah.
This is the first one that I've done in almost two years.
Here I am in.
I've been reporting in Penn Yan.
Where's Pen Yan?
In the Finger Lakes area of New York state.
In the state in which I live.
In the state in which you live.
But it's a totally different vibe.
I'm here talking to Mennonites.
Okay.
