With the recent release of a feature-length documentary, we look back on the tumultuous life and career of one of the bestselling authors of the late 20th century, KURT VONNEGUT. Mostly revered - but also criticized - his “postmodern” approach to fiction, beginning with his groundbreaking novels, “Slaughterhouse 5” and “Breakfast of Champions”, profoundly changed the way audiences, around the globe, experience stories today, in any media. We welcome back our millennial, co-founding co-host, Kassia, and her millennial friend, a sports marketer and film history podcaster, Dylan. Helped by their surprising and youthful insights, we dissect a remarkable 57 year writing career and examine if the star, of this bestselling author, is diminishing, only 15 years after his death.

After a 14 year absence from public office, America’s favorite Alaskan, recently announced she is now running for Congress. Time magazine’s 2010 pick as one of the 100 most influential Americans, the former Alaskan Governor, experienced meteoric fame in 2008. After her unsuccessful run as VP on the John McCain Presidential ticket, she never left the spotlight. Since then, she’s had her own reality TV show, 2 bestselling books, a multi-year commentary gig on Fox News, and much more. Our 20-something co-host, Ellie, a resident of Alaska herself (and not old enough to vote in 2008) provides on-the-ground and up-to-the minute insight. We are also joined by the brilliant Joe Duffus, of the Government Accountability Institute (GAI), and a longtime commenter of conservative/GOP politics. Palin has been both worshipped and dissed in her time. So you won’t want to miss our review of a singular American’s career and the great state of Alaska.
Joe’s company, GAI also produces a weekly podcast called, “The Drill Down”, http: thedrilldown.com Please check it out.

Kassia Osset, the beloved founding co-host of this podcast, “Scandal Sheet”, and co-host of “From The Cheap Seats” for 2 years, now has her very own podcast. “Have We Met Before”. The pod is unique, surprising, and entertaining - highlighting stories of various people she met in her many years of world travel. She’s sort of a 20-something Anthony Bourdain, sans cooking and heroin. Fans of Kassia since 2019 will appreciate this next level effort – with her amazing wit and penetrating insight, intact. Hope you enjoy!
Now, before we get started with her show, we are giving listeners a BONUS! This is a short SNL style bit that Kassia recorded in 2019. We had an exclusive interview with Stephen Strasberg, phenom starting pitcher for the Washington Nationals baseball team. Later, the same year, he would become the World Series MVP and get the largest $$$ contract in sports history… and then afterward, almost never pitch again over 2 years. The bit is actually more relevant today than it was back in 2019. Kassia’s talents are on display here as she plays both the interviewer and Strasberg himself.

We re-open this sinister, unresolved, (alleged) murder case, where her husband is the prime suspect. Decades after Natalie Wood’s mysterious death, the Los Angeles District Attorney has re-opened her case – contradicting previous rulings as an “accidental drowning”. HBO has produced a recent documentary on this subject and there are 2 new books – one by her younger sister. Over a 35 year career, Natalie Wood was the first true ‘A List’ female actress, with multiple Academy Award/ Golden Globe nominations for numerous milestone films. Simultaneously she was also an international sex symbol. … then, she mysteriously drowns during a pleasure cruise off, the rich person playground, Catalina Island, only 22 miles from LA???? Hmmm….
To unravel this mystery, Ellie and I are again joined by New York “Super Lawyer”, David Grover of the firm David and Fensterstock to provide legal analysis. If you wish to reach David Grover, for legal assistance: 212-527-7575, DGrover@GroverFen.com.

Brace yourself folks, the legend of Bigfoot / Sasquatch / Yeti, etc. isn’t dead – it’s just getting started. Hulu is premiering a new, big budget miniseries on April 20. Thus, we re-open the file on this amazingly elusive, popular, thousands year old myth – but which unexpectedly exploded into the mass media only in the late 1960’s. Giant hoax? (maybe, but by who?) Silly folklore, disingenuously pumped up by cable TV? Collective mass hysteria or conspiracy theory, like UFO’s or ghosts? Your hosts go deep to discover the real truth. Regardless, this creature/person has become an A-list media celebrity from Alaska to New Dehli to Bejing. Buckle up as we take you into the story of “Bigfoot”.
The famous 1967 film we discuss:
