TRUE CRIME
Hi, I’m Dax Shepard, and I love talking to people. I am endlessly fascinated by the messiness of being human, and I find people who are vulnerable and honest about their struggles and shortcomings to be incredibly sexy. I invite you to join me as I explore other people’s stories. We will celebrate, above all, the challenges and setbacks that ultimately lead to growth and betterment. What qualifies me for such an endeavor? More than a decade of sobriety, a degree in Anthropology and four years of improv training. I will attempt to discover human “truths” without any laboratory work, clinical trials or data collection. I will be, in the great tradition of 16th-century scientists, an Armchair Expert.

COMEDY
Hysterical investigates a mysterious illness that spreads among a group of high school girls in upstate New York. What is causing their sudden, often violent symptoms? Is there something in the water or inside the school? Or is it “all in their head?” The series examines the outbreak in LeRoy, NY, believed by some to be the most severe case of mass hysteria since the Salem Witch Trials. In his search for answers, Dan Taberski (9/12, Missing Richard Simmons, Running from Cops) explores other seemingly inexplicable events of the last few years – CIA officers being crippled with nausea and vertigo; cops OD'ing from exposure to fentanyl – and discovers they’re far more connected than we realize. From Wondery and Pineapple Street Studios, this 7-part series forces us to grapple with the mysteries of our own minds, and reckon with a contagion that we thought was long dead, but may be the defining disorder of our time.

Missing Mogul (Robert Maxwell) (Season 41)

Very interesting person. Maxwell was never satisfied with his money/wealth. He was ultimately chasing “acceptance” with a very sad ending.

I listen to this podcast all the time. I really like how the podcast is structured, but I think that they should release episodes more often. My favorite thing about this podcast is what subjects they chose and how relevant they are to our modern world.
A Podcast that Tells Stories that Teach Well

Oct 14

Edit: Wait, so now most of this podcast is locked behind a paywall? WHAT. Why? Why lock the incredible stories of Walt Disney, JP Morgan, Rockafeller, George Lucas, Stan Lee, and so many other iconic tales behind a paywall? I suspect we’ll see select reruns of certain seasons in the near future, an issue which has affected another podcast by Lindsay Graham, American History Tellers. I’m going to drop my rating from five stars to three because of the paywall and the paywall alone. I love this show, but I don’t want to pay for content previously available for free! I’ll pay for an extra podcast, but arguably the main show ought to be for free. Anyway, with that rant out of the way, back to my original review. Yes, let me get political for a second. If you’re worried about the woke agenda the rest of Wondery’s podcasts have, fear not in this case. The stories here are told without prejudice or bias—well, mostly, but never unbearably so. This podcast has one goal in mind: to teach the next generation of business leaders and entrepreneurs the successes and failures of those who’ve come before us in a bite-sized, engaging way. It’s made me appreciate businesses in ways I haven’t before, and given me vocabulary to use in day to day life. Lindsay Graham is a fantastic host with a captivating voice. His ability to differentiate two characters having a back-and-forth conversation is noteworthy, albeit typically predictable. There are still ads, yes, but in this case I appreciate them as windows into how other businesses operate and try to capture your attention. Doesn’t make them any less annoying, but it sorta helps. 😂 Business Movers tells the stories of people who’ve learned, and that teaches the next generation of bright-minded people the understanding and values they need to be successful. But most importantly, it tells these valuable stories well.
