Keith King was upset when his marriage ended. His wife had cheated, and his family broke apart. And that's when he learned about a very old type of lawsuit, called a heart balm tort. A lawsuit that would let him sue the man his now ex-wife had gotten involved with during their marriage.

On this episode, where heart balm torts came from, what relationships looked like back then, and why these lawsuits still exist today (in some states, anyway.) And also, what happened when Keith King used a heart balm tort to try to deal with the most significant economic entanglement of his life: his marriage.

New release: The classic 60s series Man in a Suitcase is heading back to Blu-ray in a gorgeous new set from Imprint! The show originally ran between 1966-1967 and reflected the shift from the humorous spy fantasy of previous years toward the harder-edge questioning happening in society during the later decade. Spy Vibers who missed out on the out-of-print Network discs should definitely check this out. From the press release: "McGill, ex-intelligence agent, now modern bounty-hunter, uses his experience gained in the espionage jungle to earn his living. McGill doesn't seek danger… danger seeks McGill. He is a lonely man in a tough world… vulnerable because of his past, unable to claim protection. He can trust no one, but people have to trust him. His home is where his suitcase goes. It's his most important possession, because he may find himself anywhere, anytime. Risking his life is part of the business as McGill travels the globe plying the only skill he knows – undercover espionage. MAN IN A SUITCASE brought American actor Richard Bradford to England as the cool, tough, no-nonsense McGill, living in a gritty world of back alleys and back stabbers. Since its debut, the series has achieved cult status among television fans around the world as one of the most underrated ITC action classics. This 8-disc collection brings together all 30 episodes, restored in high-definition from the original film elements with a dossier of NEW and archival special features, plus the feature-film version To Chase a Million. Unpack this legendary series on Blu-ray now! 8-DISC BLU-RAY SET + 120-page Collectable Booklet in Limited Edition Hardbox packaging." I should add the package also includes a great podcast episode by my pals at ITC Entertained the World. More info at Blu-ray and ViaVision. Imprint's classic television Blu-ray range has included greats such as The Avengers and Space 1999. Sets still in stock (and now on sale!) include: The Prisoner, Randall and Hopirk (Deceased), and for pre-order, The Persuaders
