Meghann's media blitz w/ Kato Kaelin, Emily Ratajkowski, Adam from No Jumper and DJ Vlad
My reporting has led to appearances on an eclectic mix of podcasts lately.
Hello from the front lines of Legal Affairs and Trials with Meghann Cuniff, where I’ve been nearly overwhelmed with media attention the last six weeks. I’m happy to share a few of my recent interviews.
First is my in-studio discussion with OJ Simpson’s former renter Kato Kaelin and his podcast co-host, Tom Zenner. We discussed a range of topics, including where we were when the verdict of the century was read in 1995.
Next is my interview with model and social media influencer Emily Ratajkowski for her High Low with EmRata podcast. I was glad to make the case for facts and explain why I embraced independent, paid subscription-based journalism.
Here’s a clip from “Law & Order & Misogyny with Meghann Cuniff”:

Then there’s my 90-minute tabletop discussion with Adam Grandmaison from No Jumper, which claims to be “the coolest podcast in the world.” Adam started No Jumper 12 years ago as a hip-hop gossip and commentary website, and he’s built it into an influential empire with millions of followers across all social media platforms. (He’s also into porn, and he’s married to a porn star.) I met with him on Sept. 26, and the interview dropped Saturday on the No Jumper YouTube channel.
Spending time at the No Jumper headquarters in Burbank was an unforgettable experience, from thinking about all the crazy drama that’s gone on there to talking with the ski-masked security guard who seemed pleased with how low-key I am.
Some of the comments on my interview clips are a little mean, but as someone said about the No Jumper crowd, “They would rather listen to some drugged out dumbass with a 3rd grade reading level make up stories about how he ‘slid on his ops.’” I also appreciated a comment about how I’m way too smart to be hanging around No Jumper and should probably be covering the Israel-Hamas war instead.
My interview with Adam follows an interview with another major name in hip-hop: DJ Vlad.
I took an Uber to Vlad’s studio in Van Nuys on Aug. 8 shortly after rapper Tory Lanez was sentenced to 10 years in prison for shooting Megan Thee Stallion, and we got into the details of the case as I slowly realized I was probably too tired to be doing so.
Vlad has interviewed so many big names it’s difficult to know where to start. If you want to learn more about Keefe D, the suspect in Tupac’s murder, Vlad has talked to him extensively.
Vlad is so well known that one of the security officers at the Los Angeles federal courthouse saw my interview and gave me props for it. My oldest brother in Oregon also texted me about it.
All the attention I’ve been getting has been a lot to manage, and I’ve encountered a few people who are upset that I chose to speak to certain people.
From my standpoint, I think it should be obvious that me talking to someone does not mean I endorse every single thing they’ve ever said and done. I was treated with the utmost respect by both Adam and Vlad and their staffs, and I’m happy to bring my perspective and voice to their platforms.
Both their YouTube channels have huge audiences that can benefit from my work just as much as the viewers of LifeNOW with Fox, where I recently discussed my reporting on former Major League Baseball pitcher Trevor Bauer’s lawsuit settlement with a woman who accuses him of sexual assaulting her.
As for what’s next, I’ve realized that the last year has been good for my career but bad for my health, so I’m making it my goal to hike some national parks again ASAP and also update my eyeglasses prescription.
Meanwhile, I am working on an article about rapper Pras Michel’s ineffective assistance of counsel allegations against longtime Los Angeles lawyer David Kenner that should publish this week. I’m also catching up on several cases that could produce big news in the coming months, and there’s a federal murder-for-hire trial starting next week in Los Angeles that I plan to cover. At the same time, I’m working to professionalize my YouTube channel and produce a regular legal news show to spotlight my reporting.
