CRIME
Stop Rewind: The Lost Boy
A kidnapped child whispers dark secrets from his past into a cassette tape in a language no one around him understands. Decades later, that lost cassette tape resurfaces and reveals the terrifying truth that he’s not the person everyone thinks he is. What happens when the life you made collides with the life you lost?
Stop Rewind: The Lost Boy tells the true story of Taj, a child in India who was taken from his family and sent to an adoptive family half a world away. Taj never forgot who he really was – or that he was taken. But without the language or tools to return, and with no one who understood his story, the details faded, and Taj’s past was quietly boxed away .
Told through rare original recordings, immersive sound design and unforgettable first-person testimony, Stop Rewind is a story of a stolen childhood, the quest for truth, the triumph of love and the long road to belonging.

RELATIONSHIPS
Starter Marriage
New York Times best-selling author and relationship coach, Allison Raskin, has spent the last few years researching what it really means to get married in today’s society. And now she is expanding her investigation with hands on experience as she navigates her first (and hopefully last) marriage with her husband and co-host, John Blakeslee. Pulling from the latest research, other couples and various experts, the duo will examine modern marriage from every angle including how it impacts the world on a societal level (think trad wives) and on the most personal (like losing a parent). Allison, a well-known mental health influencer, is used to sharing her life online, so opening up about the intimate details of her marriage to help others understand their own felt like a no-brainer. John, a former undercover CIA officer, who isn’t used to sharing his life so publicly, needed a little more convincing. But, hey, isn’t marriage all about compromise?

🤣 Hahahahahahah, there’s being a sore loser and then there’s this.
🏆 Speaking of which… Amy Poehler’s “Good Hang” podcast won the inaugural Golden Globe for Best Podcast, and while I have a bit of a problem with which podcasts were eligible for being nominated, it’s undoubtedly a water-shed moment for the podcasting industry. Even in my own sphere of influence I immediately saw a huge increase in people visiting this article on the FTP website: Best Episodes of Good Hang with Amy Poehler.
😆 And if you missed the Golden Globes, you also missed this bit from the show where host Nikki Glaser did a short video making fun of podcasts.
