    Welcome to Dark Dives, a new series where we explore the murky and devious depths of humanity.

    Persuasion is a powerful tool; it monetizes our beliefs and effectively sells them to the highest bidder. But how does persuasion and brainwashing work across different industries? How is a cult different than politics or religion? How do the leaders in these fields persuade us to trust them?

    Welcome to the Corporate Casket, a weekly series where bad businesses go to die.

    Half of Americans, year on year, die in hospice care. When done right, this can be a way for patients to spend time with their loved ones and say goodbye on their own terms. When done wrong, this has become little more than end of life abuse. Whether you believe it’s a for-profit hustle or not, there’s no doubt that hospice as a system is broken. Is it too late to fix it?

    Welcome to Dark Dives, a new series where we explore the murky and devious depths of humanity.

    When you hear the term ‘redneck’, you probably think of a patriotic southerner. Maybe even a MAGA follower. But redneck used to mean something very different. In fact, you could even argue that it used to mean the complete opposite of what it means today.

    Welcome to the Corporate Casket, a weekly series where bad businesses go to die.

    Ron DeSantis has been seen as a younger Trump, but without the personal controversies. Is that true, or could he possibly be even worse? Ron’s actions have already had disturbing consequences in Florida, let’s discuss what may happen if he were in charge of the entire country.

    Welcome to Multi Level Mondays, a weekly series all about multi level marketing, pyramid schemes, and ponzi schemes.

    You’ve definitely heard it before: those flowery ‘you can do it’ sentiments from MLMs that encourage distributors to keep trying. They may be hollow and meaningless, but people believe in them all too often. But why? As it turns out, those motivational tapes, books, and speakers are part of the scam itself. They keep MLMs alive more than you might realize.

One of the best!

Heads and toes above other podcasts in this genre. I applaud you’re research and fact checking. Thank you for the updates and warning on things that consumers and the public should be aware of. You provide us information in an entertaining and pleasant way.

And you used to be so good

I was happy to find a good podcast but then you had to become a horrible predator, thanks bro 😒

Neverwriteopinion ,

Meh

Disregarding the reputation of illuminaghtii, it has too many ads. It used to be better and more informative. Some are like little lectures and others are just ads with just enough information.
