  • Ripped From the Headlines
    Jamie Hahn was 29 years old when she was murdered by Jonathan Broyhill — the guy who had been the best man in her wedding to her husband, Nation.
    The intrigue surrounding Jamie's death and her killer's subsequent murder trial created non-stop news fodder ... and the story quickly became about Broyhill — his lies, his deception, his crimes.
    Nation wanted to tell his and Jamie's story without putting her murderer at the center of it. And in this episode, he does exactly that.

    • So Many Things at Once
      Cancer is rude. We know this. And it’s been very rude to Rachel. Every time her life and career are going in the direction she wants them to … BAM. The cancer’s back.
      When you’re a young woman, and when your life plans are completely upended by cancer for the third time, what do you do? If you’re Rachel, you turn to Tinder.
