169. The Times of His Life with Mark Pinsky

In this episode, I sit down with veteran journalist and author Mark Pinsky, whose career has taken him from high-profile crime reporting to covering racial justice and religion. Mark shares how his political awakening at Duke University in the 1960s and the civil rights movement shaped his worldview, how his interest in social justice led him to cover crime and religion, and how he’s navigated the tightrope between advocacy and objectivity throughout his work.
We talk about his reporting on landmark cases — including his rare jailhouse interview with Ted Bundy, the Jeffrey MacDonald murder trial, and the 1979 Greensboro Massacre. Mark opens up about how race, class, and bias influence the criminal justice system, and the ways journalists have to balance empathy with detachment when covering violent crime.
We also dive into his coverage of televangelism, the political rise of white evangelicals, and how shifts in grassroots attitudes foreshadowed major political changes. Along the way, we discuss wrongful convictions, the impact of projects like the Innocence Project, and the role of media as a kind of “last-resort appeals court” for injustice. It’s a wide-ranging conversation about values, choices, and the lived experiences that shape a journalist’s craft — and the human stories that keep us doing this work.
This episode includes a tribute to Jessica Olive Cash, a researcher for this podcast and The Prosecutors Podcast. Jessica was a true gift to me and the team and will be missed.
