Overshadowed Podcast

Overshadowed is a podcast about the siblings and spouses of people who changed the world. Have you ever felt overlooked or irrelevant because of your sibling’s accomplishments? How do you think Asia Booth felt after her brother assassinated Abraham Lincoln? Pretty bad! It overtook her life, and she even wrote a memoir trying to humanize John. ”He was so nice to everyone, I have no idea how this could’ve happened!” kind of stuff. Check out episode one to learn more (and try to overlook its ”episode 1” elements.)

Siblings we’ve covered include: Nannerl Mozart, Theo Van Gogh, Marc ”Cage” Coppola, Joseph Bonaparte, and many more. We also cover spouses who (typically…) prop up their loved ones, like George Putnam (Amelia Earhart) and Lady Bird Johnson (Lyndon B. Johnson), although in grim cases like Cleopatra and Albert Einstein, those spouses don’t fare so well.

This podcast is hosted by comedians Zach Russell and Charles Engle so chill out.

George Palmer Putnam (Amelia Earhart) Jan 13, 2023

Show notes

This week! Amelia Earhart's man & manager, George P. Putnam, an extremely competent promoter who made it possible for Amelia to turn her love of aviation into a full-blown airborne career. That is, until she completes her mission from the U.S. government by taking a dive in the Marshall Islands. It's all in there.

We also read Amelia's pre-marriage letter to George, which reveals their partnership may have been open. Lots of fun stuff in this one.

Sarah Lockwood Winchester (William Winchester) Nov 30, 2022

Show notes

Zach and Charles are back with another guest - comedian Maggie Lalley! - to cover our most bizarre and mysterious subject yet, Sarah Lockwood Winchester, wife of William Writ Winchester and heiress to the fortune made by the sale of the Winchester Repeating Rifle. A self-taught architect, Sarah bought an 8-room farmhouse once basically her entire family had died, and she transformed it into the bewildering, beautiful ~700 room mansion that stands today as the Winchester Mystery House. There's a lot of crock surrounding why she built it, and we clear that right up.

Featuring: crackpot mediums, genetically-transmitted ghosts, door-to-door rollercoaster salesmen, Girl Yale, and more

If you're in NYC Dec 8th, go see Maggie's one woman musical show, Sex Witch that chronicles a hilarious tale of witchery and sexery.

Special Guest: Chicken Nathan (Nick Hopping) Nov 17, 2022

Show notes

Overshadowed welcomes its first guests: Nathan and Nicholas Hopping. This episode features heavily cruel & unusual sibling-torture tactics, like Nick's headbutting phase, throwing up on younger brothers, and "ball-hands". As you listen to this week's ep, something to think about is whether all Nathan's problems come from the fact he's actually a girl.

Check out Nick and Nathan's podcast, Hoppothetically, the closest a pod can come to a true Socratic dialogue. Assuming Socrates was obsessed with c*m. Which he was.

New stories at the end:
- KFC's (recent) antisemetism
- The outlawing of toad-licking in California
- A man who snuck a gun onto a plane, inside a raw chicken

Stephen Baldwin! (Alec Baldwin) Oct 24, 2022

Show notes

Comedians Zach and Charles get into the wild life of Alec Baldwin's younger brother, Stephen Baldwin, who threw away a career of small parts in good movies, and big parts in bad ones, to make exclusively Christian cinema that plunged him into debt. We talk movies (list below), skateboarding with Jesus, and an ALLEGED affair with his massage therapist during which he'd he disguise himself as a homeless man. (fixed audio.)

(Movies we cover: The Usual Suspects, Biodome, Half-Baked, Posse, 8 Seconds, Run, Livin' It, and an honorable mention for the film that we couldn't find: "F!&$ the Disabled").

”Medium Dancer” (Zach & Charles) Oct 07, 2022

Show notes

Clockin' in! The boys are back at The Stand, and this week, we sideline the siblings to catch up on each others' lives, including Zach's dancing and the loved ones it's driven away, a dying seagull, and the psychic who told Charles he should quit comedy.

Richard ”Two Gun” Hart Capone (Al Capone, Part 2) Sep 19, 2022

Show notes

This week the boys get into one the craziest lives we've ever covered, the rootin-tootin tale of cowboy-lawman, Richard "Two Gun" Hart, aka James Vincenzo Capone, eldest brother of millionaire gangster, Al Capone. Making a name for himself on the opposite side of bootlegging as his scarfaced sibling, James ran away from Brooklyn as a teenager to join the circus, earned himself a wife and job as town marshal after saving a family from a flood, and became the slap-happiest prohibition officer Nebraska ever saw. And that's not even half the story.

Salvatore ”Frank” Capone (Al Capone, Part 1) Sep 01, 2022

Show notes

It’s a fun-fact packed ep this week as Charles and Zach cover the history of drinking in the United States, Prohibition and some of the nutsos associated with it, and, of course, the first of Al Capone’s brothers, who served as the strong-man of Cicero: Salvatore "Frank" Capone.

We cover giving booze to babies, a teetotaling ax-wielding woman on a holy mission to destroy saloons, a bourbon manufacturer who killed his wife, and the most crooked election in American history (thanks to Frankie Capone.)

Patreon ep will be released about Al Capone at some point in time. But there's a lot of good stuff there RIGHT NOW

Mileva Marić (Albert Einstein) Aug 01, 2022

Show notes

This week we dive into the much-maligned life of Mileva Marić, Albert Einstein's first wife, and only wife who wasn't related to him. Mileva was ALSO a talented physicist, and during her time with Albert, she helped act as a sounding board for equations and concepts, and there's substantial evidence via letters they exchanged that credits her involvement in creating the formula that ultimately became special relativity: E = m*c^2. In other news, we call out our influx of prudish fans from TikTok and might rename the podcast "Dick Jokes & Time."

Maria Anna ”Nannerl” Mozart (Wolfgang Mozart) Jul 10, 2022

Show notes

(Nannerl history starts at 16 minutes) Zach and Charles cover the life of Wolfgang Mozart's prodigious older sister, Maria Anna "Nannerl", who was sidelined for being a lady despite being as good if not better than him.
