TRAILER

Introducing: The Shrink Next Door

Veteran journalist Joe Nocera’s neighbor in the Hamptons was a therapist named Ike. Ike counted celebrities and Manhattan elites as his patients. He’d host star-studded parties at his eccentric vacation house. But one summer, Joe discovered that Ike was gone and everything he’d thought he’d known about his neighbor -- and the house next door -- was wrong. From Wondery, the company behind Dirty John and Dr. Death, and Bloomberg, “The Shrink Next Door” is a story about power, control and turning to the wrong person for help for three decades. Written and hosted by Joe Nocera, a columnist for Bloomberg. The Shrink Next Door is now an Apple Original series, starring Will Ferrell and Paul Rudd. Watch now only on Apple TV+.

Could listen to you talk for days you seem like such a great person and are able to make me laugh while talking about some really dark stuff but yet not in a disrespectful way to victims.

Less Madison edit Cult Liter. You cut over your words constantly. I’ve been looking for a single episode where this doesn’t happen. Pause. Breathe. Repeat.
I’m gonna head out

This podcast is light and fun but still after years of it being a thing ads continue to be put in random spots, often in the middle of a story. Secondly, complaining about coming across racist people while still shopping at Target is giving a lack of awareness of what is 2025 reality. Target ended its DEI policy to make our orange fool leader happy, of course racists will go there. Overall it’s giving liberal who only pays attention when it affects them and lack understanding of our current political world, especially as someone in the LBGT+ community.
