This Week's Theme: The People Behind

5 podcast episodes according to a theme, curated by a different person each week

CURATOR: Jim Price

WHY THIS THEME?: We are big fans of all forms of audio, but many creators go anonymous. We want to give credit to some of the people behind the work.

EPISODES:

  The Pod Spotter  Chameleon: Hollywood Con Queen 64 minutes  Every Monday, Pod Spotter host Zack Robidas highlights a great new or lesser-known podcast. He talks to the host, plays the best clips, and brings you a one-of-a-kind conversation you can't get anywhere else.  

 Out of the Ash 55 minutes 

From the Peabody Award nominated C13Originals Studio comes a new documentary series about the stories and family we can’t escape. Relative Unknown follows Jackee Taylor, a man hidden in a witness protection program, for almost 40 years.

 Conversations with People Who Hate Me You Are a Liar 62 minutes 

  Dead Eyes The Replacement 44 minutes 

Actor/comedian Connor Ratliff (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel) embarks upon a quest to solve a very stupid mystery that has haunted him for two decades: why Tom Hanks fired him from a small role in the 2001 HBO mini-series Band Of Brothers.

  Spectacular Failures MoviePass begins with plenty of drama 29 minutes  Corporate crookedness. Family feuding. Hilariously half-baked decisions. Host Lauren Ober tackles some of the most spectacular business failures of all time, and what could have been done to avoid them.

PROMO: One of the most interesting things about working in a career in audio is meeting the person behind mic. I always form a mental picture of who that is, and 100 times out of 100, I am entirely wrong.

Deliciously Ella

Mills shares what it’s like to run one of the most successful plant-based food businesses in the UK and how she healed her own chronic illness through food, and hosts a range of conversations from why we sleep, to universal ideas of happiness, to the connections between food waste and climate change—and everything in between.
