Description
Patients in search of a miracle cure end up in critical condition. The race is on to find out what went wrong before more people get hurt. The trail leads back to a medical company with slick marketing and a charismatic CEO. And to a multibillion dollar stem cell industry where greed and desperation collide. Laura Beil, the award-winning host and reporter of “Dr Death,” returns for this six-part investigative series from Wondery, the makers of “Dirty John” and “The Shrink Next Door.”

The latest season of Wondery’s Even The Rich profiles the one and only Paris Hilton. The unconventional heiress who carved out an American Dynasty that eclipses even her own famous family. From a young age Paris knew she was different. Whether her family approved or not, she was going to do whatever it took to carve out her own place in pop culture. And when a sex-tape exposed her in a vulnerable moment, she used it to catapult herself into the cultural zeitgeist, where she sits comfortably to this day. Listen to Even the Rich: Paris Hilton at wondery.fm/ETR_Hiltons.
If you could call a number and say you’re sorry, and no one would know…what would you apologize for? For fifteen years, you could call a number in Manhattan and do just that. This is the story of the line, and the man at the other end who became consumed by his own creation. He was known as “Mr. Apology.” As thousands of callers flooded the line, confessing to everything from shoplifting to infidelity, drug dealing to murder, Mr. Apology realized he couldn’t just listen. He had to do something, even if it meant risking everything. From Wondery the makers of Dr. Death and The Shrink Next Door, comes a story about empathy, deception and obsession. Marissa Bridge, who knew Mr. Apology better than anyone, hosts this six episode series.Listen today at wondery.fm/BadBatchTAL

I love the way he's always got some relative who was miraculously cured but what ever his latest snake oil is. So after he lost all his uncle's money in his insurance scam he intros his cancer suffering uncle to the miracle pain cream that actually turns out to be yet another scam. Shame in you John K, you are a absolute worm.
Not my fault, I didn't know, I've been unfairly targeted. UGH!! He makes me want to screaaaamm!!!
John K"s arrogance is astounding! " I don't want to say I know more than them .... but I do know more than a lot of them. Scientists do science, marketing people do marketing well ... I have been able to learn & implement all of it together"😲 🤯 WTF?? This guy is so full of himself but has a litany of failed business ventures and scams going back years. Using "my friends are millionaires" as a way to back up his huge ego only proves that he is delusional!!. 🤬
john is an absolute slime ball
