Our Shows

Rebel Spirit is a limited series podcast from Akilah Hughes (Crooked Media’s “What a Day”) about her return to her small town of Florence, Kentucky with a mission to change her high school’s mascot from a racist Confederate General into a Biscuit. The show features moving interviews with everyone from the artist behind “Gritty,” The Philadelphia Flyers’ viral mascot, to principals at schools across the nation who have made this change, to current parents and students ready to have a mascot they can truly root for. After months of research and conversations, Akilah finally gets to speak to the school board and make her case for this much needed change. In speaking to people at every inflection point of the issue of problematic mascots, Rebel Spirit endeavors to make the process of correcting historic wrongs less of a bummer and maybe, just maybe, even a little bit fun.

In 1963, a multimillion-dollar heist forever changed England’s history. The thieves called the job the train, the papers called it the Great Train Robbery, and the police called it the crime of the century. Since then, there have been books, articles, movies, plays, even tours of the site where the robbery took place. But how the villains pulled it off—now that’s a story that’s never been told. At least not the way host William Green tells it, because he has access to perhaps the last surviving man who may or may not have been involved: His dad.

Lead with Kindness, hosted by showrunner Melinda Hsu, is a podcast where we talk about how kindness and inclusion, and intentionally fostering both in your environment, leads not only to better business results and higher standards of professionalism but PS - is the right thing to do.

Happened Here episodes tell stories from many different perspectives, performed by a diverse cast; from people in their teens to people a few decades older! The feeling is of a dynamic theatre company of writers and performers, the famous and the soon to be famous! Different voices and experiences and backgrounds. We want to help people to ‘travel better’ with more purpose and appreciation of people and place and, in a more carbon-conscious world, to create imaginative, virtual travel experiences too.

“HappenedHere’s Happen Everywhere” .. There really is a story ‘on every corner’ – indeed layers and layers of stories – branching, like so many history 'fibres’ in directions across time and space, through many subjects and eras, fibres that run from your street to somebody else’s, on the other side of the world.

Newly discovered audio footage takes us inside the daytime courtroom TV show, Judge Travis, where we follow his weary producer and perpetually annoyed bailiff  through the trials and triumphs of running a successful production while appeasing the bloated ego of Judge Percy Travis. Created by Tim Barnes (The Tonight Show, All That). Produced for Big Money Players/iHeart Podcasts.

Host Joshua Topolsky (co-creator of Vox Media and founder of The Verge) deconstructs modern culture, mining the surprising connections that make up our increasingly frenetic world. A heady mixture of fugue-state monologues and spontaneous, irreverent conversations with experts, weirdos, and big thinkers, What Future is here to dissect our insane reality, lasso the pieces, and ride off into the sunset with your money, your woman, and your pride.

The Black List founder Franklin Leonard talks movies with people who love them and people who make them. Listen as he and Black List Director of Community Kate Hagen speak with filmmakers, producers, and creators of all kinds, hosting table reads and revisiting highly regarded films from the Black List itself.

We’re never going to have enough time to read all the books we want, but hearing about them from an interesting person is its own valid form of experiencing their stories. Turek Books invites comedians and writers on as guests to grab a few books off their shelves that they really want to tell the world about.

The compelling nature of chatting about the books we read becomes a springboard to revealing ourselves. The show’s subject matter ranges from inspirational favorites to petty grievances with all kinds of layers peeled back in between. Mostly, each guest returns to the good reads, those ones we can’t forget that rattle our souls for the better.

Vandy Monroe III is about to die. So he invites his best friends (aka his mortal enemies, each of whom has a reason to want him underground) to his Hudson Valley home. He plans to catch the potential killer… only he’s poisoned. When an unexpected storm cuts off power and access to his grand estate, it’s up to James Wilson—aspiring writer and active homosexual—to figure out the killer’s identity before they strike again! Was it the German chef? The demented chanteuse? The Cockney porn star? WHO CAN SAY!!!

Does This Murder Make Me Look Gay?! stars Michael Urie, Kate McKinnon, Cheyenne Jackson, Frankie Grande, Lea Salonga, Jonathan Freeman, and a slew of Broadway stars. Created by Ted Malawer (Red, White & Royal Blue, Halston).

Examine the many faces of Michael Jackson with host Brandon Ogborn. What starts as a simple question of guilt or innocence quickly turns into a searching chronicle of race, fame and abuse. Drawing on extensive interviews and relying on much-needed humor, Ogborn and co-host Omar Crook interview Jackson’s defense attorneys, the investigators & prosecutors who pursued him, and the writers & tabloid journalists who followed the cases and ferreted out leads. Through those interviews and their ruminations, Ogborn and Crook wander the hall of mirrors that was Jackson’s life, painstakingly, sometimes painfully, reconstructing the complex narrative of an iconic and troubled performer haunted by allegations of criminal perversion.

In conversation with veteran journalist Jim Newton, host Brandon Ogborn sets out to understand what is going on with UFOs: Is this hype, looniness, or a newly credible idea, bolstered by increased sightings and, for the first time, congressional acknowledgement? Setting out on his journey, Ogborn connects with Jeremy Corbell, the uneasy celebrity of the “UAP disclosure movement.” Corbell takes Ogborn under his wing, leading him through the sordid history of UFO’s and government cover up as well as the present battles within the UFO culture, (now called UAP’s, “Unidentified Anomalous Phenomenon”), and the disparate characters and institutions fighting for control of the narrative. Through surprising interviews with veterans of the intelligence community, members of congress, and wide-eyed wonderers from the fields of theology and astronomy, Ogborn pursues not only solving the greatest questions of mankind – but also a deep, personal UFO mystery: his own childhood encounter with a space craft in the 1990s – a confounding event that went on to make national news.
