We wanted to share a show which we think you’ll want to listen to. Power: Don King.
In a sport famed for money and excess, what does it take to get to the top...and stay there?
Rising from a life of hardship and crime, Don King became the most successful boxing promoter the sport has ever seen—and the first Black man to do so. He is his own American Dream. His flamboyant appearance and commanding personality made him a star in and out of the ring, as did his promotion of greats like Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson, and even America’s musical dynasty, the Jacksons. But his less than honest exploits? They made him legendary.

This is af fascinating podcast. Thank you.
Gripping to say the least. And to know that there's no federal law against these and it was in 2019 that some states even considered categorizing this horror as a crime is beyond disgusting. Kudos for the great reporting!
Simply un-belieeeeevable. i remember reading about this years ago. This is more in-depth. Interviews with ''family'' members. The one member who says she looks for likenesses in everyone she meets. It must be tiring. I give The Immaculate Deception ☆☆☆☆☆.
Love a witty wordplay in a title. Can’t wait to listen to this. Sounds like an interesting story.
This is a shameful title, and Castbox should be penalized for promoting a show that is disrespecting a sacred Catholic belief. As a previous commenter said, they would never do this to another religion. The show could have been exactly the same with a less disrespectful title.
I totally agree with you, Michael Savage. Killing coyote and other animals with cyanide poisoning is especially inhumane and unnecessary! I hope our President gets your message, but fast!! We are all God's children.
Same thing for us Steeler fans. This isn't about 70's football.
oh dear! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Please consider how your sacreligeous show title affects the millions of people who hold the Immaculate Conception as sacred. You wouldn't do the same with Islam or Hinduism. Then why do so with Catholicism?
On Netflix there's a show called Sister's. It's exactly what this podcast is about. It's a good Show Check it out.
