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.

Amazing story telling!

This is the type of podcast I love. 2023 and this is the first I subscribe to listen to. Thank you for your years of dedication to this. Now I have to watch the movie.

Good Lord

The wife talking about “The Hamptons” in that nasally voice. Ugh! Nails on a chalkboard.

Great true story, subscription required :(

Really enjoyed the Apple TV mini series. When I found it as a pod cast, I was excited! Unfortunately my hopes were dashed upon discovering I could not listen to episode 2; a subscription is required. If you have the money, go for it! It’s a very interesting account.
