Today's guest is Rod Blagojevich, the former American politician who served as the 40th Governor of Illinois from 2003 to 2009 as a member of the Democratic Party.  Blagojevich's political career was marked by controversy and scandal. He was arrested, impeached and then convicted on multiple counts of corruption, including wire fraud and extortion. After 2 trials, He was sentenced to 14 years in federal prison in 2011.
After serving nearly eight years in prison, his sentence was commuted by then-President Donald Trump in February 2020, and he was released.  Blagojevich's case remains a subject of controversy and debate, questioning whether or not he is a symbol of political corruption and the abuse of power, or is he someone who was failed by a corrupt system. 
He discusses the political stories of the day, the  current state of the Democratic Party and on Trump's chances for re-election.  We talk about his life before politics, how he got into it and where it took a wrong turn. 
He candidly opens up about his life in jail, what it was like to finally have a chance at freedom again, and what, if anything, he plans to do to reverse his narrative. Like him or hate him, this is hands down one of our most fascinating and in depth interviews thus far.

Have you seen the #1 trending show on Netflix this week, Ashley Madison: Sex, Lies & Scandal?! The docuseries tells the story of Ashley Madison, the infamous dating website for married people looking to cheat on their spouses. Specifically, it focuses on a data hack perpetrated on the website in 2015 that resulted in millions of users' personal information getting leaked online, exposing their extramarital affairs. Among the most frequently interviewed couples are Sam and Nia Rader, the stars of a popular family vlogging channel whose marriage nearly ended when Sam's name was revealed in the hack, exposing him as one of the site's many male users looking for sex outside of their marriage.
After years of keeping secrets while maintaining the illusion of a perfect Christian family life online, Sam finally broke down and told his wife Nia that he'd been cheating on her for years. Today we have both Sam and Nia joining us on Miss Understood with Rachel Uchitel, to answer all the questions not revealed in the doc and to explain why they chose to stay together.

In this soft-spoken bedtime story, I tell you about various Greek myths. This is a compilation episode, in which I've combined multiple prior episodes into one long-play episode to help you fall asleep. These are the Greek myths we will discover tonight. - The Trojan War, as told in Homer's Iliad and other sources; - The Odyssey, also mainly based on Homer's work;  - Pandora and her jar (or box), which according to Hesiod contained countless plagues that she let escape, providing a backstory for the existence of suffering in human life;  - The tragedy of the Danaïdes and Sisyphus, who were sentenced to an eternity of useless work;  - Icarus, the young man who flew too close to the sun and fell.   Listen ad free and get access to bonus content on our Patreon: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/LightsOutLibrary621⁠⁠⁠   Welcome to Lights Out Library Join me for a sleepy adventure tonight.

In this bedtime story, I tell you about two different mysterious stories and what I make of them. - Bigfoot (or the Sasquatch) is one of the most famous cryptids in the world, together with the Loch Ness Monster and its Himalayan cousin the Yeti. We will discover where this creature comes from, how it got its name, and why it remains so elusive. - The Bell Witch Haunting is a legend that originated in Robertson County, Tennessee, and inspired a lot of fiction while entering the folklore of the American South.
