We've been a fan of Jake Brennan since we heard his first podcast episode of DISGRACELAND which looks at some of music's biggest stars and the unfortunate choices that they made during their music career. In Blood on The Tracks, Jake looks at musical genius Phil Spector who was also a murderer. The story is told by Jake as well as the point of views of fictionalized voices of Debbie Harry, Lenny Bruce, Ike Turner just to name a few. Thus party true crime x historical fiction x spoken word lo-fi beat noir that illustrates the story by that that have shared what they knew about him.
Each episode shares a number of his musical accolades with notable acts while takyou through his life moments from his personal relationship to the unraveling that began his downfall.
AWAY

We meet Emma Green (Hilary Swank), who is a Commander who will be manning the first Mission to Mars. We also meet her husband Matt Logan (Josh Charles) who is a former astronaut turned NASA engineer who will be at Mission Control for this inaugural mission. He is left to stay on Earth in this job while taking care of their child. Of course, things become complicated when something goes wrong in the process.
This mishap that takes place allows the viewer to see the intersectionality that exists between people especially those that are on the mission versus those that exist on work. Away looks at how these issues are dealt with as opposed to the mission themselves.
Away looks at the impact of what happens when missteps are made and how we go about repairing them. With the launch of this first season this month, we're all looking forward to Netflix's take on exploration to new frontiers as well as re-examinging known and unknown terrains within our friend and family structures. How do we build this infrastructure, how fragile are they and what do we to ensure that we can maintain them.
THE BARON OF BOTOX

Apple Podcast
This podcast brings additional insight into the 2 decade career of Dr. Fredric Brandt who was known as a trusted and elite dermatologist that administered botox treatments that were ahead of its time to magazine editors, Manhattan elites, Miami socialites and even being Madonna's personal skincare consultant.
His clients loved him and every magazine profiled him. But behind the facade of making his clients look their best selves and an impressive empire, he became addicted to his work. Many believed that he saw Martin Short's character in the Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and felt that is was loosely based on him and could have led him to taking his own life.
Host Justine Harman delves into the man and examines a number of issues that existed below the surface regardless of the industry and clients that embraced him.
