Thu, 20 Jan 2022 05:00:03 +0000

William Colepaugh was a lonely Connecticut kid who grew up idolizing all things German. He even had a framed picture of Hitler in his bedroom, which didn’t exactly solve his social problems. When America entered WWII, Colepaugh did the unthinkable: he defected to Germany and volunteered to spy for the Nazis.

Our subject this week is American philanthropist, bird-lover, wrestling enthusiast and convicted murderer John du Pont.

Thu, 25 Nov 2021 03:05:13 +0000

For a brief time in the late 1990s, Lou Pearlman was one of the most powerful people in the music industry.
