Welcome to my first, experimental audio production! What’s the true rate of illegal immigrant crime?
I hope this contains some information you didn’t know before you listened. Please leave your feedback and ideas in the comment section.

loved the podcast. Keep up the good work, We watch your show on TV and love it. You bring to light stories that we don;t hear anywhere else,
Thank you Sharyl! Your podcast rocks! The country needs more real journalists!
Good job Sharyl. You packed more information in that 10 minutes than most hosts do in 3 hours.
Remember: Statistics don’t lie. Statisticians do.
As a minister, I cannot view “Full Measure: on Sunday mornings, but my wife records them and we hardly ever miss. We are grateful for your (Sharyl’s) integrity in reporting. You have built more trust with us than any other reporter. And your work on crime stats related to the illegal population makes you so valuable to us and our country.
Thank you Sharyl for reporting on illegals and crime. Living in a border state, we read far too many bad things that continue to happen. Keep up the good work.
Enjoyed the podcast. Would definitely ‘subscribe.’ Love your investigative reporting.
Really enjoyed this podcast, it was just the right length, my mind would have started to wander had it been longer. Excellent choice of topic for your first podcast as well, given the amount of misinformation circulating in the media.
For future topics I would like you to investigate the extremely high number of “natural healing” doctors’ deaths. It seems that practicing non-conventional medicine has become very high risk with many premature deaths in the ranks of naturopaths.
Thank you for looking into the criminal element. I noticed this, or would like get what reporting of statistics for ‘Human Trafficing’. This appears to be highly suspect where so many younger people are being brought in without any verifiable familial relationships. I bring this up because these are the people who show up in prostitution and pimp operations in california cities. And this is somehow coming through the illegal border crossings without being actively investigated yet these are human beings who get initiated like the initiations into drug sales for cartel operations in US cities. It’s showing up to people in the school districts and communities effected and it’s denigrating to the culture
Thank you for this report, and good luck in your litigation. Journalism schools should use your reporting as an example for students to follow.
Appreciate the effort Sharyl. This topic, dealing with lots of numbers, really requires visuals along with the audio. But the message is loud and clear.
Read smear very good reporting my deer:) SO I want to do this locally in my town lots of bad behaviour here Honey Grove Texas. Do you have any advise? How does one attain ones connections and is there a big research library in the sky? John Kelly was my General.
Sharyl, Great first podcast! You knocked it out of the park and it is most welcome in addition to your written work and video. You are such a natural in speaking and it feels like you are sitting across the dining room table discussing an important topic. Keep creating more audio podcasts. We love your work, books, show, articles, etc and hold you on the utmost esteem.
Your podcast is long overdue. Podcasts and long-form interview are a rapidly expanding medium and would be well suited to more in-depth reporting. When Joe Rogan spend 2 plus hours in his informal “experience” with Elon Musk, he had over 15 million views in three days. Many people are creating YouTube podcasts and webcasts, and cumulatively get billions of views yearly. Please consider this.
I always find myself wanting more depth when I watch your segments. I encourage you to look into this form of communication – one that MANY young people would be very receptive to watch. Don’t get stuck in the assumptions about the standard way of bringing information to us. How you would set it up and the content presentation would be something you have to be comfortable with but it would provide great benefit to a population starving for real reporting.
There are two oft repeated garbage statements that I can’t stand, “The Majority are good people” and “Illegals commit less crimes” neither can be proven. Thanks for shedding some light on the facts!
The “majority are good people” statement often makes me laugh becuase people are trying to do statistical math on an unmeasured population. Too funny.
I always say, “when you have screened them all you can tell me how many are good people until then shove it!”
Good work as always Sharyl!
Yes! keep this up! I will listen regularly! Please keep up your mission to keep us informed!!
I love your quality factual reporting. Keep these coming.
Yes, I’m more likely to listen to your podcast. It would be nice if you could go more in depth than your TV program allows! Thanks Sharyl!
Just finished listening. Thanks for the data; it does go against everything I’ve heard. I’m not sure why we’re a country that no longer values data and facts. I’d love to hear more about why neither party is interested in solving this problem.
Sharyl,
nice effort for a “maiden voyage.” I’ll echo the compliments you get from others here on your reporting, but suspect you’re looking for feedback on the podcast itself rather than the particular topic.
1. I think your delivery could be a little more conversational. I’ve enjoyed your “behind the wheel” commentary on your own court case and think that’s closer to the delivery style I expect in the podcast format.
2. A really brief musical intro (5-10 seconds max) that fades into your greeting and subject statement would set a nice professional tone.
3. I don’t associate your voice with betraying much emotion, because you’re too well trained a journalist for that. But I think your cadence could use a bit of aural boldface and italics in spots. All we have here is your voice.
4. At the end, beginning around the 8-minute mark, you anticipate and answer some questions. Might work better to have another person ask those questions, as a narrative break and to give you a chance to sound responsive rather than declarative, if that makes any sense.
Hope this is what you were looking for.
Interesting. I actually *like* the austere nature of this podcast. Too many of the podcasts I have heard have music, lists of sponsors, etc. I would much rather you just, “get in and get out,” and be done with it.
…and 10 minutes is a great length.
I do “get” the poster’s comments, despite my small disagreement.
I agree with you. “Keep it simple, stupid.” – I disagree with the suggestion of the commenter above in regard to music etc. Straight to the point, short and sweet. I think by now, everyone is fed up, hearing sponsors, being dragged-on until “after the break” etc.
Yes thank you! I suspect I will evolve to a more professional production down the road if I continue these. THat’s great feedback.
Agree and support your “austere” style and 10 minute length.
Earlier in the day I was listening to a 17 minute podcast on genealogy and the meat of the material didn’t start until after a 5 minute intro which included music, book sale info and snarky comments. Needless to say, I bailed and didn’t listen to the whole thing.
I would love to see an accompanying article or chart with this data.
Keep up the great reporting!
When I was in high school I studied the Russian language. Back in the 60’s the official Russian news agency was called Pravda which translated means Truth. Nothing could have been further from the truth. It was the official line of the Communist Party and the only one that was allowed. Todays media reminds me quite a lot of the Pravda style of journalism. Instead of being independent they are constantly touting the party line.
I applaud you for trying to adher to journalistic standards that were more common years ago…to try and honestly find the truth and follow it wherever that takes you.
Please keep up the good work and don’t the the party line repeaters of the fourth estate beat you down!
