Traitors, Olympians and Comedians, Oh and How Joy Reid Made It In TV!
Noah Lyles – I’m Him
Noah Lyles in his first podcast interview since the Olympics. We talk about how he won the 100m and what happened with him and Covid and the 200m. Also: what makes him such a dominant athlete and what he thinks about during the race and why he feels controlled by the Olympics. An epic conversation with the gold medal winning fastest man in the world.
FAMILY BUSINESS: JOHNNY SACK
While The Sopranos mainly focused on a fictional New Jersey mob, their fellow mafiosos in New York couldn’t be ignored. The fictional New York family was represented by Johnny Sacrimoni, better known as Johnny Sack. Vincent Curatola, a New Jersey native, portrayed the New York underboss with a steely cool that made him a hit with the legions of Sopranos fans. We spoke with Curatola in a wide-ranging interview, beginning with his fondness for New Jersey.

Throwback Spotlight
Joy Reid – How To Make It In TV
The Cable TV Queen dishes on how to handle anything - wild Trump-supporting guests, Hillary, getting fired while on the air, and the death of her mother just before she was supposed to go to Harvard. Joy is the one you want guiding you in a crisis. We’re in a crisis. That’s why it’s great that she’s on the air. Lots of gems in this one.
Sharing Our Superpowers – John Osborn, Bruce Cohen & Charlie Stewart
We are all blessed with certain unique gifts or “super powers”. We all have the potential to use these gifts to do good in the world. Some of us have a small circle of influence, others have a huge one. Dr. Barbara Van Dahlen's three guests on this episode of Inner Space all have impressive talents and each is using his rather large sphere of influence to help those who are hurting.
What We Are Loving
Andrew Marshello
Inspired by Hunter and Peyton on “Lemme Say This,” I have been watching The Traitors on Peacock! I’m vaguely familiar with some of the competing Housewives and Survivor cast members, but the real draw for me is seeing Z-list celebrities play Among Us in real life…and also Alan Cummings’s campy outfits and awful Scottish accent.
