Today's Oddcast: Best Of Oddcast: "Why Can't You Just Stay Put?" (Airdate 2/21/2021)

What starts off as a look at some of the weirdest books you'll find people reading in public in New York City turns into a deep look at where people feel safe. Maybe that person reading "Pornland" on the subway feels comfortable being an anonymous grain of sand in a city of millions. Others may be perfectly content spending their entire lives in the same small town. Either way, everyone is just looking for a place they can call home.

Today's Oddcast - Fraudster - The Real Story Behind "Inventing Anna" (Airdate 2/18/2021)

If you've watched INVENTING ANNA on Netflix, maybe you've wondered how in the world can this be real? How did she get away with conning so many smart people? Why did it take so long for anyone to catch on? Grifters like Anna Sorokin aka Anna Delvey have an easy time tricking decent people for one reason: they don't have a conscience to slow them down. In this episode, you'll hear from the real Anna, the actress who portrays her - the incredible Julia Garner - and maybe, just maybe you'll have one of those sickening moments where you realize, I think this is happening to me...

King Baby (Airdate 2/7/2022)

Everyone loves a baby. Who doesn't want to squeeze and smooch and just absolutely spoil a darling little tot? But what if that baby isn't a baby at all? What if that baby is a grown man in his late 30's? Sheri grew up in a world where the youngest son of the family was often treated like some sort of cross between royalty and celebrity. So what's it like to be The Baby? And God help us, what can life be like when you're married to him? Bob used to think it would be cool to be the King Baby himself. Pampered, fussed over, indulged. And then we went ahead ruined the whole fantasy for him...

How To Love Me (Airdate 2/4/2022)

What if your partner handed you the operating manual for their heart? A little book that perfectly explains just exactly how they need to be loved. A book that describes all of the little ways to make them happy. An actual map to help you steer clear of conflict and heartache. What if you had that book in your hands - and then never bothered to read it? This is exactly what happened to Bob - and now he's sick with remorse. How do you make that right? And if you had that book, would it be 1000 pages long? Sheri says her husband could fit his love instructions onto a Post-It note...Welcome to love month!

Bring On the B Word (Airdate 1/31/2022)

Are you a person who cheerfully sacrifices your own happiness, comfort, well-being, and peace for others? A person who focuses more on pleasing a partner or meeting their needs than taking care of your own? You might be codependent - and welcome to the club. We sure know how that is. Bob kicks off this episode by wondering how differently life might have turned out had he been just a little bit healthier emotionally. Caring deeply about others is a beautiful thing - until that caring becomes distorted and controlling and leaves you seething with resentment and anxiety. It's a lifelong habit that you learned really early. But does that mean you're stuck being a people-pleasing doormat? Nope. There's hope - and it all starts with the biggest B word of all.

You VS You (Airdate 1/28/2022)

Is it better to compete against others, or against yourself? For Bob, the opposition is always on the outside. For Sheri, it's within. What's the difference - and who winds up winning? From Bob getting schooled on the ski slope by a couple of newbies - who turned out to be U.S. Marines - to Sheri learning the hard way how the radio business really operates, this episode nails one profound truth. And that truth is: you probably need to at least wear some pants to work.

Killers Among Us (Airdate 1/24/2022)

It's another round of True Crime Time y'all. In this one, we take a look at two long-cold cases, one that might finally be solved after 44 years, and another that has baffled Hollywood and the LAPD for more than a century. From old evidence yielding new answers to a deathbed confession melodramatic enough for a daytime soap, it would seem that getting away with murder might just be a matter of luck and timing. Until your luck runs out...

What's In A Name? (Airdate 1/21/2022)

Mike Hunt, paging Mike Hunt...everyone knows the joke. But what's it like to go through life with a name that makes people giggle or blush or worse? Bob found the ultimate collection of actual names that sound like punchlines - and it's amazing how many of these folks are super high achievers. Maybe a goofy name is a powerful motivator? Maybe it's all about family pride? And maybe, just maybe, being named Heywood Jablome is the key to unlocking a great destiny. Or not. Sometimes it's just really fun to act like a bunch of 12 year-olds - how's about you come on out and play with us?
