    November Bonus: Richard Simmons, Celebrity Frenemies and the Podcasting Industrial Complex

    This month's bonus episode is a Thanksgiving feast of mains, sides and leftovers featuring our favorite happy meatball. First, we're revisiting the hit podcast "Missing Richard Simmons" and grumpily examining the tropes of podcast storytelling. Then we're playing a clip we cut from our last episode about a truly cursed Richard Simmons biopic . And finally, we're sharing some of Richard's anecdotes about his celebrity encounters.
