Backseat Rider

Sex and drugs take centerstage when the Lyft app pairs Anthony with a former model whose addiction to crystal meth derailed his life. Hear the unfiltered story of how the addiction started ("I used to get tipped in crystal meth from the drag queens"), how he paid for it ("hustling for the drug with men"), and ultimately...how he finally broke free. Later in the episode: a fascinating look at the career of a woman who choreographs sex scenes on stage. NSFW!

If you had to choose one song that's had the biggest impact on your life, which one would it be? In this episode, Anthony takes this question to the Backseat Riders...yielding some compelling back-stories, including: the song that helped a passenger recover from being victimized by "liars and thieves," a man who walked in on his cheating girlfriend, a woman who escapes an emotionally abusive relationship, and how one piece of jazz music has come to define both the ups and downs of one passenger's life. This is a rebroadcast of a story first released in June 2017.

On January 13th, an emergency alert reporting an inbound ballistic missile sent Hawaii into a state of panic. It turned out to be a false alarm, but for a period of up to 38 minutes, thousands of residents and tourists thought they might die. In this episode, a couple there on their honeymoon tell the story of what those 38 minutes were like...from their initial nonchalance to eventually placing "goodbye" phone calls to their loved ones. Anthony's other passengers share the stories of their own life-or-death moments, which range from home invasions and armed robberies, to car accidents, muggings, and a near-miss at an amusement park.
