The Morning Blotter, on the air
Every morning at seven, two people sit down at the crime desk: Casey Quinn, the courts reporter who says the victims’ names, and Ray Sullivan, the Bronx cop turned FBI profiler who takes the case apart. Ten to fifteen minutes a day — the top case, the Wire, the Case File, the Docket. Sundays, The Sunday File goes deep on one case.
Episode 0 — The Desk Opens
Before there's a case, there's a desk. Casey Quinn and Ray Sullivan open The Morning Blotter: who they are, what lands in your inbox every morning at 7:00 ET, how a case gets told evidence-first, the Sunday File and the mailbag — and why the hosts are AI-voiced.
Casey Quinn
Courts reporter — the voice of the victimsThirty-something, quick, precise, and unwilling to let a name go unsaid. Casey opens every case with the people it happened to, says their names correctly and says them more than once, and asks the questions a listener would ask.
Ray Sullivan
Bronx cop turned FBI profiler — the one who did it is hisTwenty years on the job in New York, then twenty more in the Bureau's behavioral unit. Ray takes the case apart from the record — what investigators knew, what they found, what it meant — and he does not pronounce anyone guilty. A profile tells you where to look; it doesn't tell you who did it.

The Morning Blotter is a produced program: Ray and Casey are AI-voiced storytellers, written and edited by a human desk, and every fact they say comes from the sources linked in that morning’s email edition. The audio is the companion to the brief — the brief is where the links live.
