Marcia Clark, best known as the lead prosecutor in the O.J. Simpson trial, has become a trailblazer for women in law and beyond. Her journey from courtroom to bestselling author reflects her resilience and determination to redefine herself amidst intense public scrutiny. On this episode of Worth Knowing, Clark dives into her latest book, *Trial by Ambush*, which examines the 1953 Barbara Graham case—a story that highlights gender bias, media sensationalism, and the notion that all cases are subject to societal, cultural, and political winds. Clark shares how her experiences during the Simpson trial shaped her perspective on societal pressures and the role of women in high-stakes professions. Her reflections on how media, forensic science, and legal practices have evolved over decades offer valuable insights into the intersection of law and culture. This conversation is a compelling exploration of true crime, personal growth, and how Clark’s groundbreaking career continues to inspire a new generation of women to challenge norms and forge their own paths. Marcia Clark is a bestselling author and a criminal lawyer who began her career in law as a criminal defense attorney and went on to become a prosecutor in the L.A. District Attorney's Office in 1981. She spent ten years in the Special Trials Unit, where she handled a number of high-profile cases, including the prosecution of stalker/murderer Robert Bardo, whose conviction for the murder of actress Rebecca Schaeffer resulted in legislation that offered victims better protection from stalkers as well as increased punishment for the offenders. She was lead prosecutor for the O.J. Simpson murder trial. In May of 1997 her book on the Simpson case, "Without a Doubt," was published and reached #1 on the New York Times, Wall St. Journal, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, and Publishers Weekly bestsellers lists. In February 2016, Clark re-released the book with a new foreword.

I woke up to the sad news this morning that Mary Wilson – one of the founding members of The Supremes – died yesterday. I interviewed Mary Wilson for this podcast in late July. In fact, she was one of the first guests on the RPM45 podcast. It was an honor. Mary looked great on our Zoom call, was extremely gracious to me and open to sharing her life experiences, including her beginnings, how she got together with her fellow Supremes. and how she kept the group going after Florence Ballard's death and Diana Ross's departure. Even though Mary had been in the entertainment industry for six decades, she remained enthusiastic and not even thinking about retirement. Her love of performing burned brightly. And she was committed to a cause.…To have her good friend former Supreme Florence Ballard – who died more than 4 decades earlier - commemorated on a U.S. stamp. (For more info, check out this web page: https://about.usps.com/who/csac/#process ) I found Mary Wilson a beautiful person in every way, talented, smart and inspiring.

Rick Stevers is the drummer and leader of Frijid Pink, which scored a Top 10 hit with its hard rocking version of “House of the Rising Sun” in the Winter of 1970. What’s especially interesting about this hit is how close it came to not happening.
