On February 15, 2014, fitness guru Richard Simmons disappeared. He stopped teaching his regular exercise class at Slimmons, cut off his closest friends, and removed himself from the public eye after decades as one of the most accessible celebrities in the world. Nobody has heard from him - and no one knows why he left. Filmmaker Dan Taberski was a Slimmons regular and a friend of Richard’s. Missing Richard Simmons is Dan’s search for Richard - and the deeper he digs, the stranger it gets. Listen to the podcast The New York Times calls "a cultural phenomenon."
Headlong is Dan Taberski’s documentary podcast that explores the lives of overlooked people, moments and events in our culture. Season 2 is Surviving Y2K. Season 3 is Running From COPS.

Klantrecensies
Second season is better
The first season was okay-ish. Probably more interesting for someone living in USA.
I found the second season imuch more interesting, especially since I was one of the engineers trying to deal with Y2k issues in chemical plants and critical infrastructure.
BTW did you know already that some systems might suffer a similar issue in the night of 6-7 April 2019? GPS will have a week rollover that night, and some systems use GPS as timesource. Again, most systems that I know of are updated already, but still...
Thank you for this series. What will be subject of the third season? :)
Missing richard
What a boring podcast. If Richard wants to be left alone, leave him alone. Its his decision. Grow up. Super immature and desperate.
Definite recommended listening
Both seasons are definitely recommendable: beautifully layered, very humorous and delightful original storytelling.
