The Last Meal Podcast

(42) New Mexico

Today's episode takes us a little bit southeast of my home desert wasteland...into another drier, desert-ier wasteland. Some of the most horrific crimes I've heard of took place here, but surprise surprise...no death penalty anymore. Buckle up. This one is... Terrible. Just terrible.

(41) The Last To Die

Of the 50 states in the US, 23 of them have outright abolished the death penalty. Three others have a moratorium on it. While I personally believe it should be reinstated everywhere and kept as an option, many politicians disagree and have decided to take it off the table entirely. On today's episode, we're looking at the last people executed in states where capital punishment has been abolished.

(40) New Jersey

Oh boy. Another blue state on the east coast. I found a wide variety of crazy stuff in this one, and you get to hear me speak German with my thick American accent.

(39) New Hampshire

Ah, the east coast...a librarytarian paradise, according to some. Lax gun laws, no state income tax, live free or die. Unless, of course, your idea of "living free" is murdering innocent people. Despite the death penalty being abolished here, New Hampshire has one man currently on death row. Explain that one.

(38) Nevada

Today we're taking a trip just a couple miles west of my hometown, to the place where everything sinful is perfectly legal. Nevada has more people on death row than almost anywhere else I've covered so far, but their number of actual executions in modern times is...surprisingly low. Buckle up and put on your Adidas tracksuit for this one. You're gonna need it.

(37) Police Brutality

If y'all have ever been here before, you already know that I can't stand cops. They make mistakes, some of which destroy lives... But at the end of the day, they're people. Try to remember that.

(36) Nebraska

Back in the midwest, in the middle of a field. This time, a corn field. Such a weird state. Some of the facts of this one might surprise you. And my TV show references will make you laugh.

(35) Montana

Got a new mic finally and it picks up literally every noise you can imagine. Pretty sure you get to hear the airplanes flying above my house in this one. Montana is a wide open wilderness paradise, but it has no shortage of twisted individuals.

(34) Missouri

Boy does some nasty stuff go on in the midwest. This episode has a little bit of everything, including 1960s racism and a weird looking ginger guy. Buckle up, kids. This one's all over the place.

(33) Vigilante Justice

Sometimes the law doesn't handle things the way it should, and the public is (in their minds) forced to take it into their own hands. Today's episode is full of people exacting their own revenge on those who the system more than likely would have let out.
