Nancy Brophy fills her novels with romantic betrayals and murder. It’s a far cry from her
quiet life in the suburbs, where she and her chef husband, Dan, are living out their
golden years. But when Dan is shot dead, Nancy finds herself at the center of a murder
case that could be ripped from the pages of her novels.
From Wondery, this is a story about what happens when the line blurs between fiction
and reality.

How would you handle it if you ended up having a medical condition that suddenly made you different from everyone else, in the most embarrassing way possible?
That’s what happened to Mike.
Today you’ll hear about when Mike got the news from his doctor – sorry, you won’t be able to poop the normal way any more. From now on, for the rest of your life, you’ll use a bag, actually called a pouch, and you’re gonna poop directly from your stomach into that.
And when Mike got that news, he was just a kid – not even a teenager yet.
So today, Mike’s gonna tell us what that was like, and how he handled i ..read more

I’ve always been fascinated with the idea of human endurance. What are we actually capable of doing? It’s almost always a lot more than we think.
At some point, I want to do a long distance bike ride. So far, the longest I’ve biked in a day is about 50 or 60 miles. And that was right here in this area, so afterward I went home and slept in my own bed.
But I’d really like to bike from here in the Tampa Bay area, across to the other side of Florida, the east coast. It would probably take me like 3 days. I love the idea of that kind of adventure.
But my guest today, Daniel, had a much bigger i ..read more

There are few forces in the world stronger than a mother protecting her baby.
If you’re outdoors and you happen to come across a mama bear, everyone knows you better not get between her and her cubs. Actually, it’s a bad idea to be anywhere near them. If you appear as any kind of a threat, it’s not gonna turn out well.
But I would say that’s just as true for human mothers. They will do anything to make sure their baby is safe – and that includes risking their own life to save their child.
Janette was a young mother. She and her husband, Greig, had a young baby – their son Alex was just 9 month ..read more
