Wild Things: Siegfried & Roy
Over the course of nearly half a century, Siegfried & Roy performed 30,000 shows for 50 million people and generated well over $1 billion in ticket sales. Although the German-born illusionists and pop culture icons were mega-famous, much about their private lives, eccentric public personae, and tragic final show remained shrouded in mystery…until now. Emmy®-winning filmmaker and journalist Steven Leckart, in his very first podcast, takes you behind the velvet curtain to reveal shocking moments, surprising details, and hidden truths about two men who were lionized by millions of fans, lampooned by the media, criticized by animal welfare advocates, and endlessly scrutinized by the public.

A lot of work went into this series. Too drawn out though. Could’ve been condensed to 4 parts. It could’ve also delved deeper into who these two men really were. Some questions felt unanswered. Overall, it’s an enjoyable listen and taught me something new.
Pretty Meh

Wanted to like it but not great
Interesting subject matter poorly presented
02/10/2022
Investigative style shoehorned into what should have been a simple warts-and-all history and somehow still manages to skip over details. Interviewees only occasionally reintroduced episode to episode so hard to follow, especially when interviews are cut up and recycled across several episodes. Over-baked and disappointing
Seven episodes too long

Hint: there are eight episodes.
