What a CreepSeason 24, Episode 10The True Crime Story Behind “The Natural”The Eddie Waitkus shooting is a notable event in baseball history. It occurred in 1949 when the popular first baseman (and WW2 hero) for the Philadelphia Phillies was shot by an obsessed fan named Ruth Steinhagen. The incident was a shocking reminder of the dangers of celebrity obsession. Also, it inspired Bernard Malamud's novel The Natural, which was later adapted into a popular film starring Robert Redford (who played a 19-year-old when he was 47 at the time!)Trigger Warnings: Gun violence, stalking, alcoholism, and mental health treatmentsSources for this episode: NPR: https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2013/03/18/174623312/stalker-who-inspired-the-natural-dies-lived-real-life-in-obscurity     Baseball’s The Natural: The Story of Eddie Waitkus by John TheodoreWikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddie_Waitkus·The Chicago History Museum: https://www.chicagohistory.org/shooting-of-eddie-waitkus/History and Relics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9n1HdPmg9oUChicago PBS: https://www.pbs.org/video/chicago-tonight-march-15-2013-2006-eddie-waitkus-documentary/ Hunter Pence’s Coffee Company/Non-Profit: https://thepineapplelabs.com/Be sure to follow us on social media.

What a CreepSeason 24, Episode 9Karl LagerfeldKarl Lagerfeld was a fashion designer best known for heading Chanel for over 30 years. He was one of the first designers to channel their fashion leadership into becoming a public figure. He developed this image as “the Kaiser,” a too-cool snob with dark sunglasses, fingerless gloves, and a ponytail that got him almost as much attention as his designs for Chanel.Sure, he was a fashion icon, but our man Karl was also fatphobic, racist, and misogynistic.
