Last December, Bay Area transit officials launched Clipper 2.0 – a revamp of the payment system used across the region's 22 public transportation systems. But the rollout has been a disaster, with customers reporting glitches like payments not being credited and frequent account lockouts. Now, a KQED investigation has found that officials had been ringing alarm bells about Clipper 2.0 long before the bungled rollout. This episode first aired on Feb. 2, 2026.

Last December, Bay Area transit officials launched Clipper 2.0 – a revamp of the payment system used across the region's 22 public transportation systems. The new version was supposed to allow seamless rides between systems and coordinate discounts and other programs. But its rollout turned out to be a bumpy ride that was riddled with errors including payments not being credited, account software locking out customers and system-wide outages lasting hours. KQED's Azul Dahlstrom-Eckman joins us to talk about his investigation into what went wrong and what's next for Clipper. Guests: Azul Dahlstrom-Eckman, reporter, KQED News Adina Levin, project director, Friends of Caltrain Sarah Syed, board member representing the City of Alameda and portions of Oakland and San Leandro, AC Transit Board of Directors Andrew Fremier, executive director, Metropolitan Transportation Commission Learn more about your ad choices.

Three people vanished from a Memphis home in February 1994. A week later, they turned up in a local cemetery, buried in a grave dug for someone else's funeral — held the day after they disappeared, with mourners who had no idea what was beneath the casket. Tony Carruthers was convicted of the murders in 1996, representing himself after burning through six court-appointed attorneys. Thirty years, one botched execution, and one recanted medical examiner later, Tennessee still hasn't tested the DNA that might resolve the crime.

The collapse of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool vandalism cases has sparked controversy in Washington. Prosecutors dropped charges against four defendants, including former Olympian David Hearn, after concluding the damage stemmed from a flawed renovation, not vandalism. The decision drew sharp criticism from President Trump and placed U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro's future under scrutiny.

In a stunning reversal, the DOJ admitted on Friday evening that a rush complete the reflecting pool, and botched work is to blame for the peeling liner in the National Mall’s reflecting pool, NOT a three time U.S. Olympic canoeist. In fact, in its filing, the U.S. Attorney’s office claims it didn’t have all the information from the Department of the Interior before presenting a grand jury with evidence that the damage to the reflecting pool was caused by vandals. So far, there’s been no official comment from the White House.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

JD Vance sat down with Joe Rogan and dropped a bombshell that changes what a lot of people think they know about the Epstein files. Vice President Vance didn't dodge it. He looked straight at the camera and said the Trump administration “absolutely screwed up the comms” of the Epstein files release. Not because they were hiding a client list. Not because of some grand cover-up. Because they overpromised, underdelivered, and created a whole new wave of mistrust. Pam Bondi's early teases, the binders that turned out to be phone book pages, the expectation of fireworks that never came … Vance owns it. He even calls himself an OG Epstein conspiracy theorist who's gone down every rabbit hole. But he makes it clear: No documents linking Epstein to intel agencies exist in 2026, and if they ever did, they were probably gone years ago.

When Allure greenlit a 1991 story on whether cosmetic surgeons talk people into procedures they don't need, the reporter who took it signed up for a facelift mid-assignment — and built a 25-year career off the result. Joan Kron joins Dr. Bass for a long conversation about what plastic surgery looked like before liposuction, before Botox, before fillers were anything more than collagen. Her early Allure features ranged from "Shopping for a New Face" to a story about a woman who died on the operating table during a facelift, and her monthly Scalpel News column ran for 25 years without ever publishing a "best doctor" list. Joan and Dr. Bass talk through three decades of shifts: selfie culture pulling the average age down, the rise of Botox, the injectables boom now distorting faces a syringe at a time, the Brazilian butt lift trade where industrial silicone in the wrong hands has become a leading cause of cosmetic death, and a frank read on reality TV — Botched, she argues, isn't really about plastic surgery so much as letting viewers feel superior to people who made bad choices. The most practical thread is recovery. Major procedures need professional post-operative monitoring, not a girlfriend who can't tell when bleeding has become a hematoma or local anesthesia has dropped blood pressure into the danger zone. Beauty is more accessible than ever, but the moment someone shops for price instead of expertise, that margin disappears. About Joan Kron Joan Kron is the award-winning journalist who built plastic surgery into a real reporting beat — 25 years at Allure, the book Lift: Wanting, Fearing, and Having a Facelift, and the documentary Take My Nose, Please (streaming on Amazon Prime). Questions answered in this episode: 1. How did Joan Kron establish plastic surgery as a serious journalism beat? 2. What did plastic surgery look like in 1991, before Botox, liposuction, and modern fillers? 3. Why are "best doctor" lists in women's magazines often misleading?4. How has social media changed the average age of people seeking cosmetic procedures? 5. Why is professional post-operative supervision essential after a facelift, and how does too much local anesthesia raise the risk?6. How did reality shows like Dr. 90210 and Botched shape public perception of plastic surgery? 7. Why is the Brazilian butt lift both the fastest-growing and the most dangerous cosmetic procedure? 8. How do injectable fillers distort the face when overused? 9. What's the fascinating history behind Botox that almost no one knows? About Dr. Lawrence Bass Innovator. Industry veteran. In-demand Park Avenue board certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Lawrence Bass is a true master of his craft, not only in the OR but as an industry pioneer in the development and evaluation of new aesthetic technologies. With locations in both Manhattan (on Park Avenue between 62nd and 63rd Streets) and in Great Neck, Long Island, Dr. Bass has earned his reputation as the plastic surgeon for the most discerning patients in NYC and beyond.

Dr. Terry Dubrow — board-certified plastic surgeon, star of Botched, and self-described "preservation longevity" obsessive — joins Dr. Will Cole for one of the most wide-ranging and genuinely entertaining conversations the podcast has had. They cover the accidental origin of Real Housewives of Orange County (Terry signed Heather's name to the contract without asking her), the peptide landscape including Terry's take on retatrutide and the importance of compounding pharmacies being legal again, high-dose creatine and memory testing, AI erasing the price of intelligence, the TIA he had at The Ivy restaurant and the 3-minute PFO repair that followed, why deep plane facelifts are overhyped and overpriced, and what he actually takes every day to preserve what he calls his "meat body."

The Round of 32 of the 2026 FIFA World Cup is nearly complete, and there have been some thrilling finishes to matches. Eddie thinks that England weren't quite as bad as people are making out, and feels confident ahead of their clash against Mexico at the Azteca. There were controversial refereeing decisions galore, as Balogun was sent off for the USA, England were denied a penalty, and Germany and Spain had goals chalked off for mystery fouls on a goalkeeper. But the real question is, will anyone be able to stop France? Can Belgium build on the momentum of their late comeback against Senegal? And will we see a better version of Brazil against Norway? Plus, Frank is finally watching 'From', Eddie isn't impressed with 'Life, Larry, and the Pursuit of Unhappiness', and Serena Williams was up to her old tricks against Maya Joint at Wimbledon.

A More Perfect Union explains how this sketchy IPO could destroy many people's 401(K) accounts. Heather 'Digby' Parton, columnist at Salon and publisher of the Hullabaloo blog, joins to recap the week's news. Topics include the war in Iran, midterm elections and more. In the Fun Half: CNN airs a compilation showing the 39 times that Donald Trump claimed that we a deal with Iran is imminent. Trillionaires Trump is now claiming that Strait of Hormuz has been open the whole time, but we just didn't know it because it was a secret. Shhhhh don't tell the Ayatollah. Department of Energy secretary Chris Wright admits under oath that he lied when he tweeted that the U.S. had successfully escorted an oil tanker through the Strait of Hormuz back in March. That kind of conflicts with Trump's claim that the strait has been open. Elissa Slotkin issues a press release stating that she believes that Michael Martin, a Trump pick for a U.S. district court, would be different from the president's other picks in that he will admit that Biden won the election in 2020 and that January 6 was an attack on the Capitol. Unfortunately for Slotkin, Martin answered those questions in the exact same fashion as all of Trump's other sycophantic nominees. Marco Rubio cites three examples of what make America so unique; our constitution, the moon landing and the UFC.

Last night Trump was booed at Madison Square Garden and fell asleep in his luxury box during the NBA Finals. Taxpayer money paid for the whole spectacle while American paratroopers from the 82nd Airborne sit in Israel waiting for Netanyahu's order to storm Kharg Island.. The Albanians are handling their business and beat us to 110, while Zionist traitors sign away American blood and our military to Israel. Jeff Berwick joins me to expose this fake Rothschild outpost that's merged with America — time to wake up, get a plasma machine, build resilience at TZLA.club, and start acting like the Albanians before these parasites drag us into the abyss.

Tawny Kitaen steps Behind The Rope. In what is likely her last interview ever, Tawny is here to take, what is now deemed as, a total look back at her life. Tawny went to her first rock concert at age 14, saw how the singer's girlfriend got full VIP access and treatment and decided, “hey, I want that.” Tawny went out and made that happen. A rocker gal by nature, Tawny dated the guitarist from Ratt while in high school. From there she graduated, and “graduated”, by marrying Whitesnake's lead singer. Although they divorced years later, she is most notorious for being “that girl” in the Whitesnake video. With that career defining moment she went from “groupie” to wife and celebrity. Choreographer Paula Abdul took one look at Tawny's moves on the set of the Whitesnake video shoot and said, “you don't need my help” and left! Tawny graced our small screens with roles on many of our beloved shows including Seinfeld (who she also dated), Married...With Children and America's Funniest People. Before it was the “cool” thing to do, Tawny transitioned from “actress” to reality star starring in VH1s “The Surreal Life” and “Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew”. Speaking of Reality TV, who could forget Tawny's 2017 appearance on E's mega-hit Botched with Doctors Terry Dubrow and Paul Nassif. There was also that star studded role with Tom Hanks in Bachelor Party. Of course, being in the OC, we also talk the good and bad of RHOC.  Part II starts now. @tawnykitaenofficial @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: ZENNI OPTICAL -  zenni.com/podcast (Use Code Podcast15 For 15% Off Your First Order Of The Most Affordable, Stylish Glasses and Sunglasses) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact David@advertising-execs.com Learn more about your ad choices.

The history of disability rights is often treated as a modern story, but what if that framing misses centuries of earlier, more complicated history? This week, Thomas is joined by Professor Sari Altschuler, Associate Professor of English at Northeastern University, to explore her new book Before Disability: A History of American Citizenship. In the book, Professor Altschuler traces how disability and citizenship have been intertwined since the founding of the United States, and what that reveals about who America decided belonged and who didn't. In the early Republic, many physical and mental differences were accommodated within the framework of citizenship; by the antebellum era, however, those same differences had been weaponized as tools of racial exclusion, and eventually as justification for eugenics. Thomas and Professor Altschuler dig into the intersections of race, disability, and civic belonging, and what early American history can teach us about the fights happening today.

Tawny Kitaen steps Behind The Rope. In what is likely her last interview ever, Tawny is here to take, what is now deemed as, a total look back at her life. Tawny went to her first rock concert at age 14, saw how the singer's girlfriend got full VIP access and treatment and decided, “hey, I want that.” Tawny went out and made that happen. A rocker gal by nature, Tawny dated the guitarist from Ratt while in high school. From there she graduated, and “graduated”, by marrying Whitesnake's lead singer. Although they divorced years later, she is most notorious for being “that girl” in the Whitesnake video. With that career defining moment she went from “groupie” to wife and celebrity. Choreographer Paula Abdul took one look at Tawny's moves on the set of the Whitesnake video shoot and said, “you don't need my help” and left! Tawny graced our small screens with roles on many of our beloved shows including Seinfeld (who she also dated), Married...With Children and America's Funniest People. Before it was the “cool” thing to do, Tawny transitioned from “actress” to reality star starring in VH1s “The Surreal Life” and “Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew”. Speaking of Reality TV, who could forget Tawny's 2017 appearance on E's mega-hit Botched with Doctors Terry Dubrow and Paul Nassif. There was also that star studded role with Tom Hanks in Bachelor Party. Of course, being in the OC, we also talk the good and bad of RHOC. @tawnykitaenofficial @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: WHATNOT - www.whatnot.com (Download The Whatnot App To Get Free Shipping On Your First Order To Live Shop on The US's #1 Live Shopping App)  ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact David@advertising-execs.com MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.
