This week on The Rake: The most candid, intimate, and informative Doug Polk interview you've ever seen! (Maybe... don't hold us to that).

Welcome to the premiere episode of The Rake 2.0, with our new cohost: Ben Wilinofsky!

LaCroix and Halo Top ice cream... and much more!

In light of serious allegations, Run It Once has made the decision to terminate Marle Cordeiro's position as host of The Rake. Effective immediately.

Kidding! She really is leaving though. In this, her final episode, Marle and Jamie reminisce about their time together on the pod, highlight clips of their favourite moments, and discuss plans for the future... plus we reveal Jamie's new cohost!

Hosts Marle Cordeiro & Jamie Kerstetter discuss all this and more!
