Podcasts about many lives

The original “Reputation era” belonged to this week's Doll, Dusty Springfield!Born in post-war Britain to a Scottish father and Irish mother, Mary O'Brien was never going to be a good little Catholic schoolgirl; neither would she be content in a family band. Dusty Springfield was born to be in the spotlight. No government or journalist was going to box her into a corner! And no man - or woman - could tie her down. The worlds she created in songs like “Spooky,” “The Look of Love,” “Just A Little Lovin',” and of course “Son of a Preacher Man” were tender and sultry, like her “microphone voice.” She rarely belted, but did she really have to? Bask in Dusty's greatness, be charmed by her wit, revel in her resurrection, and enjoy and a career-spanning retrospective of this beloved “bicon.” “Dusty Springfield: The Many Lives of Mary O'Brien” is available wherever you stream your podcasts

SOOOOOOOO according to Benjaman's brother, Benjaman is totally an ax murderer. Or some kind of murderer anyway. As soon as Benjaman discovers his true identity, things go off the rails. So now we know WHO he is, but what we need to figure out now is WHAT IS HE HIDING AND WHY IS HE HIDING IT. Is he a mafia hit man? Just a total grifter? And when a threat comes in against the lives of the children of the filmmakers, it becomes all out war between Benjaman and the documentary crew. It's...a lot. And Patrick and Gillian don't completely agree on what's really going on here, which is always fun.

Aaron Bethune lives his life. Musician. Writer. Strategist. Mountaineer. Seeker. Philosopher. Promoter and Publisher. His approach is one we can all learn from. So many words of wisdom to take away: 'I like to get to the corner to see what's next before deciding to go forward or change lanes.' Or Success is not always the award, the applause, or even the destination. Sometimes success is freedom. Sometimes it is presence, being in the present. I hope you take away as much as I did from Aaron Bethune.

For the Twins and Doppelgängers cycle "Mise-Unseen", Madeline, Julian and Emilio strap in and tackle 'Cloud Atlas', the 2012 film directed by The Wachowskis and Tom Tykwer, based on David Mitchell's novel.  It features a truly head spinning array of actors playing multiple different characters spanning several centuries, and with help of Emilio's sister Maria-Elena, the group digs into the many different stories, the parallel editing, the way reincarnation seems to return these souls to Earth in new and distinct ways, and the different journeys of these souls take us on.  It's a conversation that is critical of some of the choices made in the film, but also very much along for the ride these filmmakers constructed.  If you enjoy our podcast, please rate and review us on your podcast platform of choice.

Pull over and gird your loins, Fam, because this one is NUTS and we have a lot of feelings bout it! In 2004, a 64-year-old man is found bloody, beaten AND YES NAKED behind a dumpster in Richmond Hills, Georgia. He claimed complete and total amnesia. As in he said he had no idea whatsoever who he was, how he got there, or anything else. EXCEPT FOR EXACTLY 22 MEMORIES THAT END AT SOME POINT IN THE YEAR 1978. Ummmm, OK! And thus begins the journey of trying to solve the mystery of this man who SWEARS HE'S NOT AN AX MURDERER... which is exactly what an ax murderer would say.FAM!

In this episode of *Now I've Heard Everything*, host Bill Thompson sits down with biographer and author Ruth Franklin to discuss her book, *The Many Lives of Anne Frank*. Far from a simple biography, Franklin's work takes a kaleidoscopic approach to one of history's most famous figures, examining how Anne Frank has been transformed into a global icon and co-opted by various groups to fit different agendas. Franklin reveals a side of Anne that many readers miss: her identity as a deeply serious, precocious creative artist who intentionally rewrote and edited her own diary for future publication. The conversation also explores the harrowing reality of women in concentration camps, the grim history of the Holocaust in the Netherlands, and the enduring legacy managed by Anne's father, Otto Frank.Get your copy of The Many Lives of Anne Frank by Ruth FranklinAs an Amazon Associate, Now I've Heard Everything may earn a commission from qualifying purchases.Chapters:00:00 Exploring the Many Lives of Anne Frank 02:59 The Iconic Transformation of Anne Frank 06:14 Anne Frank: The Writer Behind the Diary 08:50 The Unwritten Legacy of Anne Frank 11:56 Understanding the Holocaust in the Netherlands 14:52 Reflections on Anne Frank's ImpactGuest InformationRuth FranklinWebsiteSocial:YouTube Facebook Instagram ---------------------Deborah Lipstadt 1993 interview on Now I've Heard EverythingFor more intriguing and engaging interviews each week, subscribe now on:Spotify Apple Podcasts YouTube

Lara Love Hardin had the perfect cul-de-sac life: a million-dollar home, kids, the soccer-mom routine. What no one knew was that she and her husband were funding a heroin addiction by stealing their neighbors' credit cards. When the police finally knocked, she was charged with dozens of felonies and became inmate S32179. In this conversation, Lara takes us inside her descent into opioid addiction, what her time in county jail was like and the unlikely path that took her from a jail cell to ghostwriting New York Times bestsellers and an Oprah's Book Club pick for her own memoir, The Many Lives of Mama Love. We talk addiction, shame, the criminal justice system, second chances, and how she rebuilt a life most people thought was over. _____________________________________________ #addictionrecovery #TrueCrime #secondchances _____________________________________________ Connect with Lara Love Hardin: Website: https://www.laralovehardin.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/laralovehardin/?hl=en Book: https://www.amazon.com/Many-Lives-Mama-Love-Stealing-ebook/dp/B0BPDNW33W/ref=books_amazonstores_desktop_mfs_author_smart_catalog_1?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_w=NMLe6&content-id=amzn1.sym.aec507cb-142c-4f68-9ae5-803b8e7b33f1&pf_rd_p=aec507cb-142c-4f68-9ae5-803b8e7b33f1&pf_rd_r=136-6178201-4449817&pd_rd_wg=GRZoL&pd_rd_r=3432d7e9-c686-4577-8237-d731c18fd71a _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction: Laura Love Harden's Story 00:30 Her Childhood and Upbringing 01:45 Escaping Through Books and Education 03:42 Family Secrets No One Talked About 06:07 Trying to Fit In During High School 07:00 College and a Fresh Start 08:48 Marriage, Motherhood & Quiet Struggles 09:54 The First Painkillers 11:02 The Hidden Pattern of Family Addiction 13:45 Fighting Pill Addiction—and Denial 16:26 Sobriety, Remarriage & New Beginnings 17:41 The Day She Found Out: Heroin Relapse 20:08 The Rapid Downfall Into Crime 22:15 What Daily Life as an Addict Was Really Like 24:50 How She Justified the Crimes 27:02 The Arrest That Broke the Family Apart 31:15 First Days in Jail 36:33 A Mental Health Crisis Behind Bars 41:03 The Legal System and Family Fallout 47:00 The Plea Deal & Gender Disparities in Sentencing 53:13 Motherhood, Shame & the Community's Reaction 01:00:02 Life After Jail: Rebuilding From Zero 01:11:20 Starting Over: A Career in Literary Agency 01:20:28 Facing Stigma & Earning Redemption 01:26:20 Advocacy and Supporting Incarcerated Women 01:33:01 Writing the Modern Memoir 01:38:18 Regrets, Lessons & Parenting Reflections 01:41:45 What's Next: Fiction and TV _____________________________________________ To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/LockedInWithIanBicka Learn more about your ad choices.

Who is Amanda Lear? How old is she? Where was she born? How is this woman even real?? Having a Rolling Stones song written about you is just about as rock-and-roll as it gets. So is being one of Bryan Ferry's parade of model girlfriends, or the “For Your Pleasure” covergirl, or having a joint music and acting career. Amanda Lear had it all, and then some: she was muse to the one and only Salvador Dali until the end of his life. Of course a surrealist herself should have an appropriately surreal life. Enter the wild world of Amanda Lear on the latest episode of the Dolls Podcast, wherever you stream your podcasts

In Episode 227, Sarah talks with book industry analyst Brenna Connor about the behind-the-scenes world of book sales, bestseller lists, and publishing trends. Brenna shares insight into how sales data is gathered and used across the publishing industry, from tracking pre-orders and audiobooks to measuring the impact of celebrity book clubs and award recognition. They also discuss what makes a book commercially "successful," what current reading trends are revealing about 2026 so far, and what Brenna is watching for in the second half of the year. Plus, Brenna shares her own book recommendations. This post contains affiliate links through which I make a small commission when you make a purchase (at no cost to you!). CLICK HERE for the full episode Show Notes on the blog. Highlights Why tracking book sales is far more complicated than most readers realize — including what Circana can and can't actually measure. A behind-the-scenes look at bestseller lists and the role Circana data plays in lists like the New York Times, USA Today, and Publishers Weekly. The famously secretive methodology behind the New York Times Bestseller List. The impact celebrity book clubs and reading lists from Reese, Oprah, and Obama have on book sales. What current sales data is revealing about 2026 reading trends — and how the economy may be shaping book buying habits.

In 2004, a man was found naked, beaten, and barely conscious behind a Georgia Burger King. He had no ID, no wallet, and absolutely no memory of who he was. For more than a decade, the man who came to be known as "Benjaman Kyle" lived as a living ghost...the only known amnesia case of its kind in the United States. Chanley Painter sits down with Shannon and Eric Evangelista, the investigative team and co-executive producers behind Hot Snakes Media.

Lara Love Hardin is a New York Times bestselling author, literary agent, and founder of True Literary, known for her memoir The Many Lives of Mama Love. Her story details her journey from suburban soccer mom to opioid addicted felon, eventually becoming a successful, award-winning ghostwriter with four New York Times Bestsellers, including The Sun Does Shine. In this episode we discuss the following: Lara spent years trying to outrun her past—building a résumé of goodness, hiding the worst parts of her story, convinced that if people really knew her, they'd walk away. And then she did the one thing she feared most: she told the truth. And everything flipped. Instead of rejection, she got connection. Instead of judgment, she got empathy. Instead of isolation, she found community. The very things we hide to protect ourselves are often the things that would most connect us to others. Lara's story teaches us about struggle. At the time, her lowest moments felt like the end. In retrospect, they became the new foundation—making her a better mother, writer, and human being. When you're managing shame or fear, your cognitive bandwidth is consumed—no room for imagination, long-term goals, or “delusional ambition.” Her inbox of “thousands of secrets” suggests a massive hidden distribution of private struggle across seemingly functional people. First-person, present-tense narrative collapses psychological distance—you simulate the decisions, not just observe outcomes. When we're in a hard season, sometimes all we can do is look forward to looking back.  

Alan bradley's new book, ‘Unmasking Samantha Cookes: The Many Lives of a Serial Fraudster', tells the extraordinary true story of a serial fraudster who moved between Ireland and the UK for more than a decade, assuming multiple identities, and leaving a trail of devastated families, duped institutions, and exploited charities in her wake. Through meticulous investigation and first-hand testimony, award‑winning documentary film‑maker Alan Bradley reveals how Samantha Cookes - better known to many as “Carrie Jade Williams” - weaponised trust, disability, and vulnerability to deceive everyone from young parents to universities and the Irish state itself. Alan joins Pat in studio to discuss.

Shannon and Eric Evangelista, and retired FBI Special Agent Ken Maxwell, discuss the two-night docuseries about a man found naked and injured behind a rural Georgia Burger King in August 2004, a man who couldn't remember his own name, and called himself "Benjaman Kyle." What began as a mission to help Benjaman recover his identity became something far darker. Over more than a decade of reporting, filmmakers Shannon and Eric Evangelista watched the cracks in his story widen into a true crime labyrinth, three unsolved cold cases, a possible connection to a powerful Midwestern crime family, and escalating threats that ultimately put one of their own in danger.

Send us Fan MailContact Michele at bookclues.comThe Declaration of Independence isn't just a set of famous lines we quote every July. It's a battered physical object that survived close calls, a national symbol that took decades to become sacred, and a cultural artifact that ended up on walls, plates, and posters. As the United States heads toward the 250th anniversary and the semi-quincentennial conversation ramps up, we wanted to ask a simple question with huge consequences: how did this document actually become America's “national treasure”?We sit down with historian Michael Auslin, author of National Treasure: How the Declaration of Independence Made America, to follow the Declaration through its surprising timeline. We talk about Jefferson's fast draft, Congress cutting and reshaping it, and the small edits that carried outsized meaning, including the shift toward “one people.” From there we move into the printing race that produced the Dunlap broadsides, the later parchment engrossing by scribe Timothy Matlack, and the long-running mysteries about when the signing really happened and how myths replaced messy reality.If you care about American history, civic education, and the meaning of rights and responsibilities, subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review. What line from the Declaration do you think we most need to wrestle with right now?find more great books at avidreaderpress.com

In this episode, we reconnect with an old friend of the podcast, Canadian performer Mark Rowswell—better known in China as Dashan, or “Big Mountain.” Mark reflects on his early career in China, where his remarkable fluency in Mandarin launched him from a young foreign newcomer into the world of xiangsheng (相声, crosstalk), and soon after into a highly sought-after TV host and cultural ambassador bridging East and West. He also shares insights into his latest creative project: a series of online videos featuring his recitations of classic Chinese poetry. What began during the pandemic with a relatively obscure Chu Ci (楚辞) poem that went viral has since grown to include well-known works by Li Bai and Su Shi, with Mark's fresh approach—eschewing the traditional, formal style of langsong (朗诵) in favor of a more natural, conversational delivery—quickly gaining a wide audience. Over time, the project has grown increasingly ambitious, incorporating longer poems and rich musical collaborations, including performances with the Toronto and Winnipeg Symphony Orchestras. Finally, Mark offers a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at his role in adapting The Shawshank Redemption into a Chinese-language stage production performed by an all-foreign cast. He discusses recruiting Mandarin-speaking actors, translating and culturally adapting the script, and the production's warm reception among Chinese audiences.

⚠️ How many lives can Red Flag Laws actually save? A six-state study looked at how Extreme Risk Protection Orders (ERPOs) are used to prevent violence and suicide. The finding was striking. For roughly every 13–18 ERPOs issued… one life was saved. Most often by preventing firearm suicide during a crisis moment. It's still early research, but the evidence is increasingly clear:temporarily removing access to a gun during a crisis can reduce deaths.

Some conversations move you in ways you never expected. My deep and powerful dialogue with business consultant, author, and speaker Dallas Gordon was one of those unforgettable moments—filled with insight, honesty, and pure magic. At one point, I found myself captivated as she described what felt like the experience of living multiple lives throughout her entrepreneurial journey. From baker (yes… a real baker!) to coach, to the founder of a thriving stationery and subscription box brand, Dallas has worn many hats. Her depth of knowledge, the lessons she's gathered, and her refreshing transparency are both inspiring and educational. Tune in, soak up the gems, and let this conversation encourage you to Just Start and Get Visible—in whatever way feels authentic and right for you.

Happy Groundhog Day! We kick off the episode by bracing ourselves for a "colossal" impending snowstorm. We discuss the chaos of grocery store panic buying (shoutout to the Delco guy who just wanted Pepsi), Mike's efforts to fix a generator, and Erin's irrational fear of trees "exploding" from the cold.In pop culture, Mike watches the pilot episodes of Severance and Pluribus, explain why Erin refuses to watch Stranger Things, and recount the secondhand embarrassment of filming a content ad while her entire family is trapped in the house. We also break down the viral success of the "Dr. Pepper is Good and Nice" TikTok lady, debating whether her estimated $10k-$50k payout was enough for a national TV spot.We then dive into the "tea" of the tennis world, discussing the drama between Naomi Osaka and her opponent (who gave her an "evil" look), involving a mid-match complaint to the umpire about "hindrance" screams and the hilarity of on-court tattle-telling. We also provide updates on the Craig Conover 10K challenge, celebrate Paralympian Dani Aravich's "A-List" status, and reveal the shocking $368 price tag of the Team USA closing ceremony sweater.Finally, we close the loop on years of fast-food lawsuits—revealing which brands paid out millions (GrubHub, Poppi, Beyond Meat) and which ones got away with "puffery" (McDonald's, Wendy's). To wrap up, we share some book recommendations (Anxious People, The Many Lives of Mama Love) and end with a wholesome "No Bad News" story about a man named Biggie Dave who posted about his free birthday cake on Threads and received thousands of replies.

To commemorate Holocaust Remembrance Day, The Learning Curve guest host Andrea Silbert, President of the Eos Foundation, speaks with Ruth Franklin, former editor of The New Republic and author of The Many Lives of Anne Frank. Ms. Franklin reflects on the enduring literary significance of Anne Frank's diary while providing an overview of her life and the wider historical context of World War II and the Holocaust. Drawing on her extensive research, Franklin discusses her approach to understanding Anne Frank not only as a symbol of Jewish persecution and the Holocaust, but as a young girl whose life offers universal lessons due to being tragically shaped and ultimately destroyed by the Nazi invasion of the Netherlands in 1940. She describes how the Frank family's daily routines in the Secret Annex were upended and explores the power of Anne's writing, emphasizing how her personal reflections while in hiding remain a courageous human record of life under Hitler's antisemitic tyranny. Ms. Franklin also highlights the role Anne's father played in posthumously editing and publishing the diary, shaping the memoir that would become widely known and honored around the world. Ms. Franklin closes by reading an excerpt from her book, The Many Lives of Anne Frank.

Shannon Furman, producer and director with NFL Films, discusses the new Amazon Prime documentary Saquon — a deeply personal look at Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley. The film captures five years of Barkley's life through his own video diaries — from the heartbreak of ACL recovery and tense contract negotiations, to his move from the New York Giants to the Eagles.

Then, Kate is joined by Ryan McGee, senior writer for ESPN and co-host of Marty & McGee, to discuss The Many Lives of Lane Kiffin — ESPN's new documentary exploring one of the most complex and compelling figures in college football. Ryan takes listeners inside Kiffin's remarkable journey across the sport's biggest stages — from USC and the Raiders to Alabama and Ole Miss — and reflects on how Kiffin's evolution reveals as much about the world of college football as it does about the man himself.
