November Bonus: Richard Simmons, Celebrity Frenemies and the Podcasting Industrial Complex
Added 2024-11-27 08:05:01 +0000 UTC
This month's bonus episode is a Thanksgiving feast of mains, sides and leftovers featuring our favorite happy meatball. First, we're revisiting the hit podcast "Missing Richard Simmons" and grumpily examining the tropes of podcast storytelling. Then we're playing a clip we cut from our last episode about a truly cursed Richard Simmons biopic . And finally, we're sharing some of Richard's anecdotes about his celebrity frenemies.
You can play the episode directly through Patreon or use our RSS feed to add it to your podcast app. Here are the instructions from Patreon. And if you've got bonus episode requests, as ever, drop them in the comments!
See you next month for THE GRIFTIES!

I lost it at Dan Taberski painting a picture of Richard being held at gunpoint by Theresa on the phone interview, and then saying “I’m not saying thats whats happening, I’m just saying” 😭😭😭 its giving “I’m just asking questions”. You wouldn’t have said that if you didn’t want people to think about it.
