Cardinal Crimes is a true crime podcast that explores cold and unsolved cases, criminal behavior, and crime prevention. The host, Becca, is a former Intelligence Analyst interested in the "why" behind crime, the systems that shape it, and the ways we can prevent it.

At Cardinal Crimes, we aim to raise awareness of cases, deepen understanding of various types of crime and the psychology driving them, and explore ways to prevent future crime—whether through individual actions, community efforts, societal change, or policy reform. We do this by speaking with survivors, victims, experts, policymakers, offenders, and more to learn all that we can about crime and how to stop it.

Ripamonti, chi era costui? Un nome che alle orec­chie dei più non dice granché; o forse risveglia una vaga eco, persa nella nebbia dei ricordi scolastici: una delle fonti dei Promessi sposi - in verità, come sco­pri­remo, la prima e la più importante. In­curiosito da quella che gli ap­pa­riva quasi una damnatio memoriae, Franzosini ha comin­ciato a indagare sui reali motivi per i quali, dopo essere stato un protégé di Federico Borromeo - che lo no­minò Dottore dell'Ambrosiana e lo accolse nel palazzo arci­ve­scovile -, il presbitero-storico abbia subìto, pro­prio da parte del Cardinale, una "fiera per­secuzione", co­stata quat­­tro anni di carcere duro.
