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.

Introducing Power: Hugh Hefner

Steve Kough lived many lives. He was an NFL journeyman, a male model, and one of the most well-connected smugglers in 1980’s Miami, the “Drug Capital of the World." Kough collected many souvenirs from his adventures, but his most treasured bounty – a beautiful ceramic, crafted by Pablo Picasso and gifted to Ernest Hemingway at the author’s Cuban home, the Finca Vigia... or so the story goes. 



Lost during the Cuban Revolution, the artwork resurfaced when Kough took it as a payment for drug run financed by the notorious Pablo Escobar. 



Kough passed away in 2018, passing the piece down to his son, Stevie, a skateboarding hippie growing weed in California. 

Stevie feels he needs to complete his father’s mission – of selling this piece and telling Steve’s cinematic life story. 



So, is the Picasso authentic—or a fraud? 

Was Steve Kough a big talker or a real deal smuggler? 

Does any of that matter or is this a story of aspiration, legacy, and difficult love?

Introducing Hemingway's Picasso

Portland-based anti-fascist Sean Kealiher was killed in 2019, months before the uprising that would bring Portland international attention. 



Nearly two years later, his homicide remains unsolved. His mother, Laura, believes she hasn't received justice because of police hatred for her son and his politics. 



Dying For A Fight, the second instalment in Somethin’ Else’s Fault Line series, goes in search of answers: What happened the night Sean was killed? Why have no arrests been made? Who are the Americans living at the political extremes? And how did things escalate from Portland to the Capitol? 



A Somethin' Else production. This show is a co-production with Oregon Public Broadcasting.
