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.

Coming home was just the beginning... Kate Hamer follows up her taut psychological blockbuster The Girl in the Red Coat with an equally engrossing sequel, The Lost Girls.
Carmel has been returned home five years after she was abducted by the preacher of a cult. But the trauma of her experience continues to haunt her and and her mother Beth. Beth is paralysed by fear for her daughter while Carmel is tortured by the knowledge that she wasn't the only girl to go missing and further dismayed that she must confront the preacher in order to uncover the truth.

LAURA ASHLEY A Life in Design by Anne Sebba with Josephine Pembroke Laura Ashley’s vision was very different from the retailing conglomerate we knew. Laura Ashley had a vision: Go back home and create hand made cotton clothes dyed with natural colours and made up in her own factory in rural wales. She gave jobs to the community especially women who were encouraged to leave early and collect the children from school. Laura’s pattern cutter was an ex sheep shearer, what better person to do this exacting work. Laura loved families, beauty and hankered for the past. She actually was a girl from suburbia who had been in the Wren’s during the war…tragically she died in 1984. Hear the whole story passionately told by author Anne Sebba who is the only person to have written an authorised biography of Laura. #Fashion #Author #Podcast annesebba.com FB: https://www.facebook.com/radiogorgeous/…

Donna Freed meets Marisa Haetsman, one half of the husband-wife writing partnership, Ambrose Parry, authors of a series of medical murder mysteries set in Victorian Edinburgh. Marisa sets the scene for the latest, Voices of the Dead , which takes place in 1853 when Edinburgh while still sceptical of medical men in the wake of the Burke and Hare murders is experiencing a resurgence in interest in mesmerism and chloroform has just been as an early anaesthetic for use in childbirth. Former Consultant Anaesthetist, Marisa made a mid-life decision to study the history of medicine. She discovered tales of medical hijinks so wild that her husband, best-selling crime writer Chris Brookmyre, suggested that they join forces and exploit the rich possibilities of invention and murder in the Victorian Age. @Radio_Gorgeous @ambroseparry @canongatebooks #VoicesoftheDead…
