Welcome to Boston Confidential, Bean Towns True Crime Podcast.

0:11.7

Boston is a great city, but there's more to it than the Freedom Trail in Fenway Park.

0:16.7

There's a startling underbelly to the city, and Boston Confidential will take you on a guided tour of the hub of the universe, Boston, Massachusetts.

0:26.1

Hey, everybody, welcome back to Boston Confidential. My name's Barry McGuire, and I'm your host. I'm a 20-year private investigator on the streets of Boston, and I help run a company called Impact Due Diligence Investigations.

1:53.2

Both of these cases, the Michelle Carter case and the Phoebe Prince case, have moved the ball

1:58.9

forward in terms of legislation regarding bullying.

2:02.6

And that's, I think, definitely a good thing.

2:05.7
