While the internet has been going through the Erik & Lyle Menendez case with a fine tooth comb, so too has the Los Angeles County top Prosecutor George Gascón. He's since recommended the Mendendez brothers, who are currently serving life in prison without parole, be resentenced. But what would life on the outside look like for Erik & Lyle? Now in their 50s, they've been locked up since early adulthood and the outside world has changed drastically. They wouldn't be the first high profile people released from prison, but what could they learn from others who've walked free before them?  THE END BITS Subscribe to Mamamia Check out The Quicky Instagram here Liked this episode?

In addition to revealing a stint in rehab, Jackie O has announced all profits from the book will go directly to Odyssey House, a rehabilitation service who provide treatment not dissimilar to that which Jackie sought.

Mamamia this episode is so disappointing... fear mongering. You should look into how hard it actually is under the law to get a warrant to track or listen to a person. Police can not just track their ex's. This was a horrible one sided podcast episode that doesn't focus on the need for these powers to actually protect the community. So disappointing.

Great episode! In addition I would have loved to hear more about other symptoms before or during menstruation. In particular mental challenges such as mood swings, irritability, anxiety, depression (PMS/PMDD), which are so common, but so little talked about.

I'm legally blind, thankfully my husband is my carrer, when we go into the public, we do get treated in a negative way by some people, we have dealt with prejudice, I agree, disabled people are treated differently, it's why I don't go out much, I used to love going out.

Much rather be back in the office. I like the clear separation between work and home life, being able to switch off for the day and head home.

My heart and an enormous amount of gratitude goes out to all our health care workers who have all the same fears we all have, yet front up each day and put themselves and loved ones at higher risk. What a huge amount of stress added to an already stressful job. You are doing an amazing job and I’m sure every Australian would agree. Thank you so very much.

A comment routinely rolled out is that we are only 1.3% of emissions so whatever we do has no effect anyway. This episode does not address how this.

episode 123, I understand what it's like to live on centerlink, I get a disability payment, it barely covers living costs, everything goes up, but the payment dosen't, would love to work, but it's hard when you're legally blind.

Major issue with the current news segment that's spliced in - I was listening the other week and without warning, and only a single day after the episode's release, there was explicit Game of Thrones spoiler. It might not matter to some but when someone is listening to an episode recorded in February there shouldn't be a current-time spoiler just added in without concern for listeners. Thanks for spoiling the Night King for me and no doubt others.

i wish your news section was not a 'smart' podcast because if we don't download each episode everyday day, wgen we catch up on the ones we missed, we then have to listen to the same news over and over.. its quite frustrating. plus I would rather catch up on old news that I missed!
