On this episode of The Karol Markowicz Show, Karol sits down with constitutional law professor and former Chicago prosecutor Randy Barnett to discuss his gripping new book, Felony Review: Tales of True Crime and Corruption in Chicago.

Barnett shares firsthand stories from his time in Cook County’s felony review unit—where prosecutors determined whether criminal charges should be filed. From shocking murders to wrongful arrests, he reveals the reality of the criminal justice system and the surprising reasons why suspects confess—even without coercion.

The conversation dives into:


The psychology behind confessions and why people talk to police


Inside Chicago’s unique felony review system and how it prevented wrongful charges


The transition from prosecutor to leading constitutional law scholar


Lessons about justice, ethics, and the legal system


Why real-life crime is often more complex—and stranger—than fiction

Barnett also reflects on his career, offers insight into the pursuit of justice, and shares a powerful piece of life advice: live your life as if you’ll one day write a memoir.

In this episode of The Karol Markowicz Show, Karol sits down with Philip Reichert, founder of the new online magazine Junto, to discuss the growing problem of media silos, algorithm-driven echo chambers, and the decline of meaningful debate—especially within conservative circles.

Reichert shares his vision for Junto as a platform that fosters good-faith disagreement, intellectual diversity, and productive intra-conservative debate—a sharp contrast to today’s polarized and performative online discourse.

They dive into:


Why social media algorithms are fueling division and limiting real debate


The rise of independent media, Substack, and podcasting as the future of journalism


Whether conservatives are losing the ability to challenge their own ideas


How Junto plans to feature both sides of key issues in one place


The tension between building your own audience vs. legacy media validation

The conversation also explores personal themes, including:


Balancing career ambition with family priorities


The challenges of working in media while raising a young family


Why putting family first can come at a professional cost—but is worth it

Plus, Reichert offers a powerful perspective on gratitude, American exceptionalism, and service, drawing from his time in the Army and experiences witnessing global conflict.

Why are millennials and Gen Z having less sex than previous generations? On this episode of The Karol Markowicz Show, neuroscientist and author Dr. Debra Soh joins Karol to discuss the growing “sex recession” and the cultural forces driving it.

Drawing from her new book Sextinction: The Decline of Sex and the Future of Intimacy, Dr. Soh explains how dating apps, social media, pornography, declining testosterone, and loneliness are reshaping modern relationships. She also explores how technology—from AI companions to sex robots—could dramatically change dating, intimacy, and even reproduction in the near future.

Karol and Dr. Soh dive into why young men are increasingly shut out of the dating market, how screens are weakening social skills, and what the long-term consequences could be for society. They also discuss the politicization of science, Dr. Soh’s departure from academia, and practical advice for rebuilding real-world relationships in a digital age.
