Headlong: Missing Richard Simmons
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.

Great investigative podcast. RIP Richard Simmons, 76, natural causes.
"Projecting all my feelings onto Richard Simmons presented as fact"
Oct 1
or perhaps, "Dan Projects A Bunch of Unsubstantiated Motives On Richard Simmons And Draws Self-serving Conclusions About Simmons Life Which Are Repeatedly Dispelled By Everyone Else" should be the title of this podcast series. Simmons manager tells you that this series made Simmons life more difficult, calling his decisions into question. I'm very surprised, Dan, that it never occurred to you that Richard Simmons was basically on the clock every moment he appeared in public, or in private, essentially performing. Do people constantly harangue you on nights and weekends and on vacation and holidays to write a bunch of podcasts for free? (I know it's not even close to the same, but for christ-sake. Of course you "liked it"--this is entirely for you).
