| 0:07.0 | Hey there, lovely listeners. Now you will know that we are partway through our series, |
| 0:13.0 | forensically deconstructing Geoffrey Epstein, and we still have much more to say about that case. |
| 0:19.0 | But we also wanted to cover a fantastic five-hour docuseries, |
| 0:25.0 | which is called the Preppy Murder Death in Central Park, which is about the murder of Jennifer Levin. |
| 0:32.0 | Now Jennifer was 18 at the time when she was found dead underneath a tree in Central Park on August 26, 1986. |
| 0:39.0 | And the Preppy Murder Death in Central Park really places her voice at the centre of her own narrative. |
| 0:47.0 | And it will air over three consecutive nights from Wednesday, November the 13th to Friday, November the 15th at 9pm ET on both AMC and Sundance TV. |
| 0:57.0 | Now Lisa and I had a brilliant opportunity to sit down with Robert Friedman, CEO of Bungalow Media and Entertainment, |
| 1:04.0 | who has brought this to our screens. And it really is an interesting story in terms of why he felt it was important to retell this story and why now. |
| 1:14.0 | I think you're going to really enjoy this interview. And unfortunately Jim wasn't able to be with us on this interview. He was in transit. |
| 1:22.0 | So we have made a decision that we are going to forensically deconstruct this case because it is such an important story to tell with Jennifer's narrative right at the centre of it. |
| 1:33.0 | And just to say you may hear another little voice on the podcast, and that is of the Savage Little Beast, Queen B, |
| 1:40.0 | my little golden doodle park who decided to have her voice heard. So she is in the background and we wanted to just keep the flow of the conversation natural. |
| 1:50.0 | So we continue on, but I don't think it distracts too much. It shows we are human and it's real life, real cases, real people and real pops. |
| 1:59.0 | So let us know what you think about the interview and about the case of Jennifer Levin. |
| 2:04.0 | You can hit us up on social media, Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. And without further ado, here is our interview with Robert Friedman. |
| 2:13.0 | I couldn't believe the amount of press that was at this trial from all over the world. Before OJ Simpson, the preppy killer was the trial of the century. |
| 2:35.0 | He killed her in cold blood with his bare hands. |
| 2:40.0 | This narrative has become something completely different than what it was. Robert is a symbol of white, male, beauty and money. |
| 2:49.0 | The news made it seem like she was the one to blame. You still see this being played out today. |
| 2:55.0 | The media were on like tea-rober chambers, even though he had killed her. |
