The Goods from the Woods - Episode #204 – “Milli Vanilli”

In this episode, after nearly a year on our list of possible "Deep Dive" episode topics, Dr. Pat finally gets to talk to Rivers and special guest host Joe Raines about one of his favorite artists who also just so happen to be the most infamous musical frauds of all time: MILLI VANILLI! From the late 80's until the early 90's, Milli Vanilli was one of the most popular groups in the world. Then, after winning a Grammy for "Best New Artist" and losing a game of chicken with their evil record producer, it all came crashing down. Now we're here to examine the wreckage. How bad were they? (Not that bad) Could they actually sing? (Yes, kinda). All these questions and more will be answered on this week's INCREDIBLE Deep Dive episode on Rob and Fab aka MILLI VANILLI!

Ologies with Alie Ward - Selachimorphology (SHARKS) with Chris Lowe

SHAAAARKS. Leading shark researcher Dr. Chris Lowe dishes about bad shark PR, behind-the-scenes Jaws trivia, his thoughts on Sharknado, surfing safety, immune system marvels, cannibal twins, shark personalities, sea sex, and knife teeth. Alie learns that sharks are not the ocean's sociopaths but true evolutionary marvels who suffer from sensationalized reputations and sometimes inside-out butts. Listen up as a science primer during this, the holy Week of the Shark.

(Note: the study of sharks can is also called elasmobranchology, a distinction which could also include skates and rays. Both -ologies are difficult to spell.)

The Gist - When Death Row Stalls

On The Gist, we’re proposing a 2018 Housing and Urban Development festival in Sonoma, California.

Convicted killer Scott Dozier was scheduled to become Nevada’s first executed inmate since 2006, until the procedure was canceled with just hours to go. That wasn’t a victory for Dozier, who has dropped his appeals and spoken out to the media—including Vice’s Gianna Toboni—about his willingness to die.    

In the Spiel, how our president reaches out to foreign leaders.
