<p>Dr. John Schneider rode into town like a character out of a Western: an outsider on a Harley-Davidson, in trademark cowboy boots. He promised relief to patients suffering in Wyoming and Montana. He seemed like the hero they needed. But when surgeries go wrong and a strange letter exposes a bitter feud, medical professionals and government officials search for the truth about this cowboy doctor. They discover claims of broken bodies, bullying, fraud, and lawsuits.</p><p><br></p><p>From Audible, the fifth season of the hit series <em>Dr. Death</em> returns with <em>The Cowboy</em>: the story of a surgeon who took advantage of a broken system and the fight to bring him to justice.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Season 4: </strong>When a charismatic young doctor announces revolutionary treatments for cancer and HIV, patients from around the world turn to him for their last chance. As medical experts praise Serhat Gumrukcu’s genius, the company he co-founded rockets in value to over half a billion dollars. But when a team of researchers makes a startling discovery, they begin to suspect the brilliant doctor is hiding a secret.</p><p><strong>Season 3:</strong> Paolo is a smart and handsome surgeon, renowned for his ability to perform surgeries that transform his patients’ lives. When television producer Benita covers him for a story, he’ll transform her life too, but not in the ways she expects. As Benita crosses professional lines to be with him, she learns how far Paolo will go to protect his secrets. And halfway around the world, four doctors at a prestigious medical institute make shocking discoveries of their own that call everything into question.</p><p><strong>Season 2:</strong> If someone you love is diagnosed with cancer you want them to get the best treatment from the best doctors. In 2013, patients in Michigan thought Farid Fata was that doctor. Between his prestigious education, years of experience and pleasant bedside manner, Fata was everything you could want in a doctor. But he was not who he appeared to be. This is the story of hundreds of patients in Michigan, a doctor, and a poisonous secret.</p><p><strong>Season 1: </strong>We’re at our most vulnerable when we go to our doctors. We trust the person at the other end of that scalpel. We trust the hospital. We trust the system. Christopher Duntsch was a neurosurgeon who radiated confidence. He claimed he was the best in Dallas. If you had back pain, and had tried everything else, Dr. Duntsch could give you the spine surgery that would take your pain away. But soon his patients started to experience complications, and the system failed to protect them. Which begs the question: who - or what - is that system meant to protect? Dr. Death is a story about a charming surgeon, 33 patients and a spineless system.</p><p><br></p><p>Audible subscribers can listen to all episodes of <strong>Dr. Death</strong> ad-free right now.

¿Cuántas cosas nos hubieran cambiado la vida si las hubiéramos sabido antes? Esta es la expresión que a menudo nos dicen las personas cuando leen algún libro del maestro Antoni Bolinches, Francesc Miralles o Álex Rovira: “Ojalá lo hubiera sabido antes”. O las que se repiten ellos mismos cuando, a su vez, leen o escuchan a otras maestras y maestros. Muchas veces nos cuentan cosas que nos abren la cabeza y el corazón y pensamos “ojalá lo hubiera sabido antes, mi vida hubiera cambiado”. Este es un espacio en el que nos encontraremos cada semana con un nuevo episodio para compartir reflexiones

<p>Leon Neyfakh is a journalist and podcaster best known as the co-creator and host of <em>Slow Burn</em>, <em>Fiasco</em>, and <em>Backfired</em>. He has been a reporter for <em>Slate, The Boston Globe</em>, and <em>The New York Observer </em>and is the author of the book <em>The Next Next Level</em>. Listen to his newest podcasts here.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Season 3: OnlyFantasy</strong></p><p>In this provocative investigation into OnlyFans— the adult platform where subscribers around the world spent more than $7 billion in 2024— journalist Leon Neyfakh teams up with comedian and OnlyFans creator Gracie Canaan for a one-of-a-kind exploration into the current state of human connection.</p><p>Throughout, they discover that the site originally built for spicy adult content has quietly and surprisingly become something more complicated— an emotional marketplace where desire, performance, care, fantasy, and vulnerability seemingly blur together.</p><p>As Neyfakh and Canaan navigate timely questions about autonomy, performance, and profit, a question emerges: is connection mediated by a screen still authentic? To find the answer, they meet creators building lucrative businesses, subscribers who believe they’ve found something real, professional “chatters” who are paid to simulate affection, and pioneers who have helped engineer intimacy at scale.</p><p>Captivating and tender, &lt;i&gt;OnlyFantasy&lt;/i&gt; is ultimately about the cost of loneliness, the seductive power of desire, and how the rules of human intimacy are being rewritten online.</p><p>Is what’s happening on OnlyFans real? Or is it only a fantasy?&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Season 2: Final Thoughts: Jerry Springer</strong></p><p>Jerry Springer wasn’t supposed to become the host of <em>The Jerry Springer Show</em>. Before the chairs started flying and the fights became a daytime TV staple, the man then known as Gerald Springer was an idealistic rising star in Democratic politics, with ambitions to one day be elected governor of Ohio.&nbsp;</p><p>From Leon Neyfakh and Prologue Projects<em> —</em> the team behind <em>Slow Burn</em>, <em>Fiasco</em>, <em>Backfired, </em>and <em>Think Twice: Michael Jackson —</em> comes <em>Final Thoughts: Jerry Springer</em>.</p><p>You may think you know Springer, the notorious ringmaster of what <em>TV Guide</em> once called “the worst show in television history.” But long before Springer’s name became synonymous with outrageous guests, taboo confessions, and vicious on-stage brawls, he was the mayor of Cincinnati<em> —</em> a serious and popular politician who many believed was the future of the Democratic Party. So, what happened?</p><p>This series traces Springer’s unlikely transformation<em> —</em> from the son of Jewish refugees who fled Nazi Germany, to a respected public servant, to the face of a show many called a symptom of cultural decline. Through intimate interviews with the people who knew him best<em> —</em> family, political insiders, and the producers who helped shape his show<em> —</em> <em>Final Thoughts</em> will bring you closer than ever to the man behind the spectacle, and maybe even cause you to rethink some of your own life choices.</p><p><em>Final Thoughts</em> isn’t just a story about one man’s improbable career path. It’s about how far someone can go for success and what they’re willing to trade to stay on top. Was Springer pulled into the gutter, or did he just understand it better than anyone else?&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Season 1: Think Twice: Michael Jackson</strong></p><p>More than a decade since Michael Jackson’s death, his legacy remains complicated and unresolved. <em>Think Twice: Michael Jackson</em> is an exploration of the King of Pop’s life and impact — and an investigation into why his global influence continues to endure, despite the disturbing allegations against him. In this ten-part series, journalists Leon Neyfakh and Jay Smooth bring you a new perspective on the Michael Jackson story, based on dozens of original interviews with people who watched it unfold from up close.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p>

<p>Un podcast original de Podium, con Beatriz Serrano y Guillermo Alonso, que gira en torno a los sentimientos que mueven nuestras vidas: el odio, la antipatía y el resentimiento. O, más bien, sobre las cosas y las personas que despiertan estos oscuros sentimientos que nosotros intentamos que permanezcan dormidos pero la vida no lo permite. En Arsénico Caviar creemos que el odio une y define más que el amor, y si el amor puede mover montañas, nosotros queremos dinamitarlas.</p> <p>'Arsénico Caviar' ha sido galardonado como Mejor Podcast conversacional (ex aequo) en los II Premios Ondas Globales del Podcast.</p>
