Description

Celebrities are always talking about their bests. Now hear them at their worst.


Join award-winning filmmaker and noted curmudgeon Alan Zweig for refreshingly honest conversations with “notable people” about the worst things in life.


Alan has no interest in best-selling books or Hollywood triumphs, and doesn’t know (or care) much about his guests. He’s looking for real conversations that dig deep and get to the worst things: nagging fears, embarrassing secrets and haunting regrets. And he’ll no doubt share a few of his own along the way.

Great podcast. I've always been leery of glitzy charities and this reinforces that feeling.

This makes me feel so angry, especially because We charity is still alive and the owners are still making money off of charity. This is disgusting! I wish the legal system was not made to serve the rich rather bring them down to justice!

I just finished the third episode and thus far would highly recommend this podcast. It puts important light on the big business of "charity" that takes advantage of both those it claims to aid and those with big hearts that are drawn in by clever advertising. Do your homework (read financial statements!) before giving to or getting involved with organizations like this. Side ramble: one interviewee describes the WE organization in particular like a church/cult. I hadn't heard of them before this podcast but would definitely agree. The emotionally manipulative tactics and way they appeal(ed?) to teenagers, sending them on "charity" missions for recruitment/photo ops is very reminiscent of the evangelical 90s. Acquire the Fire, anyone?
