Celebrity Jobber Podcast with Jeff Zito

CELEBRITY JOBBER WITH JEFF ZITO

Before the red carpets, sold-out arenas, and household names, there was a first shift, a bad uniform, a time clock—and a dream that hadn’t paid off yet.

In sports and entertainment, a “jobber” is the hardworking journeyman who keeps showing up, takes the hits, and waits for an opportunity that may never come. Rocky was a jobber—a struggling fighter given one impossible shot to prove he belonged.

Every celebrity has faced a version of that moment.

Veteran talk-radio personality Jeff Zito sits down with actors, musicians, athletes, comedians, and cultural icons to uncover the lives they were living before fame found them. What was their first job? How close did they come to giving up? Who finally opened the right door? And had that one big break never arrived, where would they be today?

These are funny, honest, and sometimes surprising conversations about awful bosses, embarrassing paychecks, rejection, perseverance, luck, and the thin line separating a familiar face from someone still waiting for their chance.

Were they always destined to become rich and famous?

Or were they almost a jobber?

Celebrity Jobber with Jeff Zito—because every success story begins before anyone knows your name.

…Is this it? That’s the question our host Reshma Saujani asks herself daily. She’s the founder of two successful nonprofits, she’s married to a great guy, and she’s raising two beautiful children. She’s gotten everything she’s ever wanted, so why does she feel so unsatisfied? Is this a woman’s version of a midlife crisis? She’s determined to figure it out, and with the strength of her group chat behind her, she’s calling in reinforcements. From Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, to Emily Oster and Cheryl Strayed, to experts, friends, authors and more, Reshma’s going to help us all figure out how we stop trying to just get through this time of life… and actually start living it.

The Signal Sitdown

Your government is out of control. It’s doing things it has no business doing.
It spends way too much money. It gets involved in way too many wars. It not only tells you what you can and can’t say—it actively censors you.
And the things your government should do, it can’t, or won’t, do at all.
It can’t keep your streets clean of crime and filth. It can’t keep your neighborhoods safe enough for kids to play outside. It can’t even prevent your country from being invaded by millions of illegal migrants.
Why is that?
Because your leaders no longer represent you. They represent themselves and their friends.
On each episode of “The Signal Sitdown,” politics editor Bradley Devlin exposes how the sausage really gets made in Washington, D.C. with the help of guests who have experience on the inside.
“The Signal Sitdown” takes you inside the biggest battles in Washington, D.C., as they happen. We’ll analyze the policymaking process from an unabashedly and unapologetically conservative perspective and together reclaim government from the self-serving elites.
Fingers will be pointed.
Names will be named.

Gardens of Evil: Inside the Zion Society Cult

It was just another quiet neighborhood in small town America. At least, that’s how it looked. But the immaculately groomed yards, trimmed hedges, and brightly colored flower gardens hid an insidious secret.

More than a hundred residents were members of a cult called The Zion Society. Hiding in plain sight, they hoarded guns and ammunition. They created, sold, and modeled sexy lingerie. They took children away from parents and groomed them for sexual abuse.

Their beliefs were centered around satisfying the perverted desires of one man – their leader: an unassuming, soft-spoken landscaper. Neighbors knew something was amiss, but it wasn’t until a brave young woman broke away from the secretive group and confessed to authorities that everything began to unravel for this dangerous cult. This is the story of that unraveling told by the people who lived it.
