Power: Don King
In a sport famed for money and excess, what does it take to get to the top...and stay there? Rising from a life of hardship and crime, Don King became the most successful boxing promoter the sport has ever seen—and the first Black man to do so. He is his own American Dream. His flamboyant appearance and commanding personality made him a star in and out of the ring, as did his promotion of greats like Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson, and even America’s musical dynasty, the Jacksons. But his less-than-honest exploits? They made him legendary. Season two of Power tells the story of Hugh Hefner. Who was Hugh Hefner? Centerfold models, Playboy Bunnies, and other women from the Playboy founder’s inner circle, like TV personality and author Holly Madison, tell journalist Amy Rose Spiegel their side of his story. We hear how Playboy changed their lives, for better and for worse. Beyond the bunny tails are darker questions: What actually went on at the notorious Playboy Mansion? How can we square Hefner's progressive legacy with his abuse of vulnerable people? What can the Playboy saga tell us about sex and power—then and now? Season one of Power tells the story of Ghislaine Maxwell (Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged partner in crime). Everyone’s heard of her, but there’s a shadowy figure who hangs above her who you likely don’t know: her father, media tycoon Robert Maxwell. His rise from nothing to fall… from the deck of his super yacht under mysterious circumstances is straight out of a crime novel. His favourite daughter Ghislaine’s theory: her father was murdered.

Good podcast but narrator’s voice

The narrator’s breathy voice drove me crazy-felt like phone sex.
Excellent. 5-Stars

Outstanding research & presentation. Can’t wait to hear more from Panama.
Why remove the interviews?
07/18/2022
I don’t understand why the interviews were taken off for season 2 with Hugh Hefner. Why should I pay for this if you’re going to delete these with no warning?
Interesting but is over-written

Yeah, the narrator’s voice is too breathy, her voice seems unnaturally low pitch. She produces a kind of velvety voice, yes sounding like some kind of sex worker. The narrative is written for a junior-high school or high school level. If this is your intention, then you have created a covert feminist education intended for slavering male teenagers. Well done (if that was your effort). Otherwise, the story is pitched in a kind of breathy over-modulated voice. Loosen up and sound like a real person.
