podcast » dirty john. Apple, Spotify.
Trust me, if you listen to this six-episode podcast, you will be hooked after episode one and completely flabbergasted by human behavior by episode four. The story is hosted by journalist Christopher Goffard and tells the story of con man (which almost seems too kind of a description for this guy) John Meehan and the lives he destroys in his wake. Yes, the bad guy gets his comeuppance, but from the least likely person. Unfortunately, it is based on a true story, so we get to hear the victims’ points of view. Listen to it.
tv » casual. Hulu.
I am not sure how I missed this show, but it is already into its third season! It is definitely binge-worthy on a steamy Sunday afternoon. It’s a story about a family that is a wee bit dysfunctional: a sister recently separated from her husband, a brother with commitment issues and two parents who appear to have done far too much acid in the ‘60s. It is funny and also a little sad at times, but very relatable. There is some nudity, so you might not want to watch it with your kids. No judgment from me if you do, though.
