Presenting Deep Cover: Never Seen Again
Cover Story
02/07/23 • 4 min
Here’s the trailer for Deep Cover, a show about people who lead double lives, how far they’re willing to go in pursuit of a greater cause, and how sometimes, seemingly small decisions can change the course of history. In the new season, Deep Cover: Never Seen Again, Pulitzer-prize winning journalist Jake Halpern tells the story of two young women, living on opposite sides of the country, who went missing at almost the exact same time. Seven years later, their stories collided when one of these young women resurfaced – posing as the other. A small town detective became obsessed with the case and became convinced that one of them was a spy. Twenty years later, that woman opened up to Jake about her side of the story. Listen to Deep Cover, and get the full story, now at bit.ly/40zcH8r

3. I Am the Wolf
Cover Story
12/14/21 • 52 min
We cross through the portal to the underground where “Susan” goes through the training to become a psychedelic therapist. Her mentor Eyal crosses way too many boundaries. (Is he the wolf?). And we finally meet Francoise Bourzat, honey-voiced trainer of trainers.
In an earlier version of episode 3, we misidentified Eyal Goren as a “licensed therapist.” He became a licensed therapist in the State of California in November of 2019. When "Susan" became his client, he was still registered as an Associate Marriage & Family Therapist. We’ve updated the episode to correct the mistake.
