What Cries Out
We are a monthly Mother-Daughter True Crime Podcast. Each month we will focus on a case that cries out to us. What brings an individual to the precipice of darkness? Can we make sense of societies darkest edges? Sometimes we share generationally opposing views or push our own minds to that edge, but we do this to bring souls into remembrance all while bringing a social issue to light... This is What Cries Out.

The Tale of Two Extremes: The Murder of Alan Berg
This is the story of the collision between two extremes. On one side, a man using free speech as his weapon and speaking truth as he saw it. On the other, a group fueled by a toxic ideology, so consumed by their hatred that they sought to silence him forever. This is a story that reveals the dangers of free expression in a society where words have the power to inspire, but also to inflame.
As we unravel this story, we are forced to confront the darker truths of human nature: the dangers of clashing ideologies so polarized that dialogue becomes impossible, and the high cost paid when the freedom to speak is met with violence. Alan Berg, a talk radio host was a lightning rod for controversy. His words did more than provoke debates. They enraged a group of people so deeply that their fury culminated in an unthinkable act: cold-blooded murder. This is Episode 48, The Tale of Two Extremes: The Murder of Alan Berg.
