Ep. - 1607 - SATURDAY SERIES: JESSICA COX May 09, 2026

Show notes

Jessica grew up believing she knew the story of her biological father, a high school boyfriend of her mother's who had struggled with addiction and left the picture before Jessica was born. Raised from infancy by the man who became her stepfather in every meaningful sense, Jessica nonetheless carried lifelong questions about her origins, and as an adult pursued a painful, ultimately disappointing relationship with the man she believed had given her half her DNA. Then, decades later, a routine consumer DNA test upended everything: the man she had spent years trying to know was not her biological father at all, and her real biological father was someone else entirely. In this episode, Jessica shares how that discovery forced her to reconsider her identity, her family's history, and the narratives she had been handed since childhood, and how she navigated the twists, the rejections, and the revelations with a remarkable amount of compassion and grace for everyone involved.

Show notes

Patrick Harris, director of ESPN's The Pick Is In, joins the show to pull back the curtain on one of the most ambitious behind-the-scenes documentaries in sports television. Produced by NFL Films and Skydance Sports and premiered on ESPN on May 3, this year's edition embedded film crews inside the draft rooms of the Las Vegas Raiders, Cleveland Browns, and Dallas Cowboys across all seven rounds of the 2026 NFL Draft, capturing real-time trade negotiations, prospect debates, and franchise-shaping decisions as they happened. Patrick walks us through what it actually takes to earn that level of access, and the trust-building required before a single camera rolls.

Ep. - 1605 - UNSCRIPTED TV, POP CULTURE, AND MEDIA WITH KEVIN FALLON May 07, 2026

Show notes

Kevin Fallon is Editor-at-Large of Obsessed at The Daily Beast, host of Obsessed: The Podcast, and writer of the Obsessed substack. He joins the show for a deep dive into the pop culture corners worth obsessing over. We get into the enduring chaos of The Real Housewives, revisit the underrated charms of Ladies of London, and unpack why the new Michael Jackson biopic Michael is, in Kevin's words, a sanitized hagiography that never reckons with its subject. Kevin also pulls back the curtain on what it's really like working in media right now, and closes the conversation with three book recommendations you'll want to add to your stack.
