The Dream

It's science season! I made that up, but after talking to physicist Dr. Liam Bollmann-Dodd on last week's episode, this week host Jane Marie sits down with Dr. Chem Thug, a PHD chemist trying to do the good work of explaining chemistry online to the rest of us online in ways that we can actually understand.

In 2018, the podcast turned Bravo / Netflix series "Dirty John" was ubiquitous - at least in LA, where you couldn't go two blocks without seeing a billboard for the show. This week, the survivor of "Dirty" John Meehan's bloody attack, Terra Newell, talks to host Jane Marie about her experience being interviewed by an LA Times journalist for what she thought was only going to be a print piece in The Times, before watching her family's story explode into something much, much bigger.
