Dennis Rodman's Last Dance

After winning a championship with the Chicago Bulls in 1998, Dennis Rodman closed out his NBA career two years later with the Dallas Mavericks, a team that had been the laughing stock of the league for quite some time. It was a short, strange period during which Rodman lived in new team owner Mark Cuban's guest house and attracted unusual groups of fans to games. The Athletic's Saad Yousuf joins us to discuss how and why Rodman ended up with one of the league's worst teams and the bizarre way in which his career came to an end.

Read Saad Yousuf and Tim Cato's oral history of Dennis Rodman's time in Dallas:

Silent No More (Rebroadcast)

Warning: This episode contains graphic material related to sexual assault that may not be suitable for all audiences.

Sarah Klein is one of the first known victims of former gymnastics team physician and serial sexual predator, Larry Nassar. As an adult, Sarah struggled with anxiety, depression, and a range of physical ailments. Then, Sarah connected with a therapist named Dr. Liz Goldman, who also had been a victim of sexual assault -- by a middle school wrestling coach. The two women formed a powerful connection that eventually flipped the doctor-patient relationship on its head, and both women continue to draw strength from one another.

This story first aired in November of 2019 and won a Webby award last week, so we are re-airing it today.

Watch all three parts of Armen Keteyian's video story about Sarah and Liz:
