So, when you're planning a podcast — which is, without a doubt, an auditory medium — wouldn't it make sense to not create sounds that are excruciatingly horrible to listen...
Spending almost eight hours listening to how the Scorpions song "Wind of Change" was, in fact, written by the CIA is a weird way to spend your time. And if this was all...
WeWork seemed like such a great idea. In fact, it's still a great idea. Or a good idea, at least. But what happens when a great idea meets a man with horribly narcissist...
Imagine being such a true believer that you leave your comfortable, middle class American home and go to a war-torn country to take up arms against all perceived enemies...
If you've ever watched Dateline, you know Keith Morrison. I knew the guy as the anchor of the nightly news that my folks watched when I was in junior high in LA. And then...
Here I go again, delving into scripted fiction audio stuff. Because there isn't enough good TV out there. But, the issue is, there is plenty of TV out there. And, sure...
The thing is, I barely see first-run movies these days. That used to be a big thing in my life. But as adult life and children and work and all sorts of other distractions...

The Clearing is yet another true crime podcast that investigates some old, cold case murders. But this one is different. Because one of the major participants of the...
I’ve been listening to way too many of these depressing podcasts of late. Dirty John is a little different than some of them, of course, as it’s not about an unsolved...
I've always wondered how the heck you plan an investigative thing without having any idea how it's going to end up. It's not like I haven't listened to a few of these...

Back in college, we had a Saturday evening ritual. Before heading out to the campus bars we'd catch an episode of COPS. There was nothing like watching shirtless...
