The true story of a man who wreaks havoc on a community: “He taps phone lines, steals notary stamps, gets banned from restaurants, hacks emails, and forges signatures. He inspires a support group comprised solely of people he traumatized. In court, he references arcane British case law and submits literally thousands of motions to delay and obstruct, leaving anyone who stands in his way not only penniless but emotionally bankrupt and utterly destroyed. He was also my dad.”

Customer Reviews
Well, that’s ironic
How to destroy a podcast? Radio silence
Let Danny know we support him
Edit: I continue to hold out hope!
After what Danny shared in Interregnum 2, let’s make sure he knows he has our support. I just joined the Patreon and I’d like my membership to be dedicated to whoever it is in the family who wants him to stop making the podcast. I’ve been in the same situation he described. It’s, among many feelings, blood boiling. Anyone with their head out of the sand in 2023 knows that isn’t how you deal with people you care about, and there is no excuse for it. So. F that, Danny. Make sure everyone knows you aren’t gonna tolerate abuse about abuse about abuse. I say you get some merch going. I’d deffo buy a t-shirt. Men’s size L please.
Love the format
** Did he come back from the dead and scare you guys?
edit: please make 40 more episodes asap. Feel free to limit full access to paid subscribers. We will join and pay. We cannot wait. Original: I generally like podcasts that are kind of staged and scripted (vs people just riffing) and this has the vibe of the second with the organization of the first. The subject is fascinating and revealing. And the 360 view of the “narcissist” is enlightening. I am definitely not worried about the next generation. The narrator (son) is insightful and empathic and clearly relational. His kids are lucky.
