Ronan has a recommendation for a new podcast to try.
It’s 1990. The Berlin Wall just fell. The Soviet Union is on the verge of collapse. And the soundtrack to the revolution is one of the best selling songs of all time, the metal ballad “Wind of Change,” by the Scorpions.
Decades later, New Yorker journalist Patrick Radden Keefe heard a rumor: the song wasn’t written by the Scorpions. It was written by the CIA.
Wind of Change is his journey to find the truth.

Introducing "Wind of Change," a new podcast from Pineapple Street, Crooked, Spotify, and Patrick Radden Keefe

For the past two years, Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Ronan Farrow has been following a trail of clues from his investigation of Harvey Weinstein to other blockbuster stories about the systems that protect powerful men accused of terrible crimes in Hollywood, Washington, and beyond. But he didn’t bring that information to light on his own. A compelling cast of sources—from brave whistleblowers to shadowy undercover operatives—decided the fate of these investigations, sometimes risking everything in the process. The Catch and Kill Podcast brings you their stories, in their own words, for the first time.

True crime

Zayd Dohrn was born underground - his parents were founders of the Weather Underground organization, and on the run from the FBI. Now Zayd takes us back to the 1970s, when his parents and their young friends brawled with riot cops on the streets of Chicago, bombed the Pentagon and the U.S. Capitol, and teamed up with Black militant groups to rob banks, fight racism - and help build a revolution.

Introducing: Mother Country Radicals

So many of you asked to see the explosive interviews captured in The Catch and Kill Podcast ... and now you can. Catch and Kill: The Podcast Tapes, a six-part, half-hour documentary series directed by Emmy® winners Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato (HBO’s Carrie Fisher: Wishful Drinking) and produced by World of Wonder, brings to life Ronan's intimate, revealing interviews with whistleblowers, journalists, private investigators and other sources, conducted for the Pulitzer-Prize winning journalist’s podcast and bestselling book Catch and Kill: Lies, Spies and A Conspiracy to Protect Predators. 
The series expands on the podcast and the book, with never-before-seen footage and new insights into this culture-shaking story, enhanced by Bailey and Barbato’s creative weaving of additional sound and imagery from documents, audio tapes, photos, archive footage and striking illustrations. With fresh perspectives and detail — not just on the harrowing effort to expose one powerful predator, but on the systems that help cover up terrible crimes to this day — there are revelations in this series that may surprise even those familiar with the reporting.

Behind the Scenes with The Podcast Tapes

Check out the latest series from Pineapple Street Studios. It’s called 70 over 70 and it’s a show about how to make the most of the time we have left. Max Linsky, the executive producer of The Catch and Kill Podcast, talks with 70 remarkable people all over the age of 70 about their lives — what they’ve learned, what they’re still figuring out, and how they’re thinking about what comes next.
In this first episode, Max talks with Sister Helen Prejean about what dedicating her life to abolishing the death penalty has taught her about her own mortality.

Introducing "70 Over 70"

On Monday, Harvey Weinstein was found guilty of sex crimes and taken into police custody. He faces up to 29 years in jail. Just hours after the jury announced its verdict, Ronan Farrow sat down with the actress Rose McGowan, the first woman to go on camera as Farrow reported on Weinstein, to reflect on the verdict and her long, strange journey to it—through Hollywood sexism, media executives willing to shut down her story, and hired spies willing to pose as friends.
