Frequently asked

Is the research ethically sourced?

PrepCast pulls from public reporting, court records, and discussion forums. We don't generate speculation — every talking point links to a verifiable source.

Does it find under-covered cases?

That's the point. The brief biases toward angles other major shows haven't touched.
