In honor of the newest member to host Jane Marie's family, a little munchkin born over the weekend, this week we're revisiting Episode 2 of The Dream Season 1.

Jane takes us back to her hometown, Owosso, MI as we get to know the town and people that helped shape her award winning career in journalism. Along the way, we also get a glimpse into her family's history with Multi Level Marketing.

This past year Charlotte Isenberg, a once-popular teen anti-abortion activist, found herself switching sides in this national debate. What happened to her next is unprecedented and a warning for parents and kids alike.

Five years ago, in season two of this show, we invited Mother Jones senior editor Anna Merlan on to talk about the rise of dangerous health conspiracies in the U.S. and now that a famous anti-vaxxer, RFK Jr., has been confirmed as the United States Secretary of Health and Human Services, we've sat down again to discuss what... like, WHAT?

This week, host Jane Mare interviews Amanda Lee about her struggles with addiction, her involvement in the Washington DC based "Midtown" Alcoholics Anonymous cult and, ultimately, her path to recovery.

"How is this legal?"

That question has been haunting host Jane Marie since the day she started researching Multi Level Marketing seven years ago. Since then, it feels like every company, industry or product she looks into is a scam. Let's be clear, they often are.

This week, she stares straight into the Ivy League Bro eyes of private equity, looking for an answer to that same simple question that's been pinballing around her brain for seven years.

Comic, writer, podcaster (and more!) Meredith Lynch has been following private equity money for years and this week she and Jane will try to untangle the mess this shady industry has made of pretty much everything it's touched. It's coming for all of us. We might as well try to understand what the hell it is.

How do you rebuild your life after 13 years and 6 companies worth of Multi Level Marketing indoctrination? The Dream (we're back!) host Jane Marie talks to former MLM devotee and current anti MLM crusader, Erin Bies, about the state of the MLM industry and the work Erin is now doing to take it down. And you might just learn a little something about exogenous ketones along the way....

The Dream is back! Starting Monday, January 20th, we'll be releasing all new weekly episodes.

The Dream as a weekly interview podcast with guests and segments about.... whatever we want! We'll still be focused on the "American Dream" and all the assholes that make it infinitely harder to achieve. We'll just have a bit more freedom in how we present it.

Dream fans....WE ARE BACK!

We're reimagining The Dream as a weekly interview podcast with guests and segments about, I don't know.... whatever we want? Don't worry! We'll still be focused on the "American Dream" and all the assholes that make it infinitely harder to achieve. We'll just have a bit more freedom in how we present it.

Also, today we're bringing you an episode of a podcast I've been producing about abortion, called "Outlawed":

Join two OB-Gyns as they explain the science and stories of abortion in the US. Misinformation is unfortunately everywhere. Listening to this podcast will give you the knowledge and tools you need to help navigate these difficult conversations with family and friends at the dining room table. Throughout the season we will interview physicians, researchers, advocates and experts, as we navigate this contentious topic and make sense of the reality of abortion care in the US.

And DO NOT forget to check back in a few weeks for new episodes of The Dream!
