December 31, 1999: The world braced for disaster as midnight approached. Then, nothing happened. The hysteria over the Y2K computer bug quickly became an afterthought; a punch-line. In Surviving Y2K, Dan Taberski takes you back to the turn of the millennium to meet the people for whom it was anything but a joke — computer coders, conspiracy theorists, survivalists, and true believers — as they each face their own version of the apocalypse. And Dan tells a new millennium story of his own, about a decision that could destroy his life.
Headlong is Dan Taberski’s documentary podcast that explores the lives of overlooked people, moments and events in our culture. Season 1 is Missing Richard Simmons. Season 3 is Running From COPS.

Introducing: Harsh Reality – The Story of Miriam Rivera
It was supposed to be a reality show with a twist. In a sun-drenched villa in Ibiza, six hot guys compete for a cash prize and for the love of the beautiful and mysterious Miriam. It’s meant to be her big break: the moment she becomes the superstar she was born to be. But this is the era of “cruel reality TV” and the show producers have a different goal: they want to surprise the men with the fact that Miriam is trans. A new six-episode investigative series from Wondery, the makers of The Shrink Next Door and The Apology Line, and from Novel, HARSH REALITY is the story about love, lies, reality TV and a woman before her time: Miriam Rivera. Written by Agnes Borinsky and hosted by Trace Lysette.

Customer Reviews
Simply amazing!
Dan Taberski has become my favourite podcaster over the last few months. He takes a lateral view of a story and shares them with humour and a candid compassion. His topic choice and interview skills are second to none.
Beautiful
This is so clever. Dan and his team have managed to attack a huge issue, that could have been so impersonal and ‘techy’, but instead have gifted us some beautiful human stories that tell the tale.
Make more! Please x
Fantastic series
This is a little gem of a podcast series. I thought the subject was interesting and worth a try, but I wasn’t expecting to become so drawn in to it. It’s really about people and behaviour through the lens of Y2K. At times I was sad and other times it really made me smile- both in Dan’s story which is so beautifully told. It is brilliant, moving and I loved it!
