Acerca de esta escucha
From Leon Neyfakh and Prologue Projects — the award-winning team behind Slow Burn, Fiasco, Think Twice: Michael Jackson, and Backfired — comes Final Thoughts: Jerry Springer.
You may think you know Jerry Springer—the iconic TV host who presided over America's most controversial daytime talk show for 27 years. In that time, Springer’s name became synonymous with outrageous guests, taboo confessions, and vicious on-stage fights. But before The Jerry Springer Show made him infamous all over the world, Springer was something else entirely: a respected Midwestern politician whom many saw as a future leader in the Democratic Party. So how did this serious-minded idealist with lofty political aspirations take such a turn in such a radically different direction?
Final Thoughts: Jerry Springer tells the fascinating story of a Jewish refugee from Nazi Germany who became the beloved mayor of Cincinnati, Ohio before morphing into a symbol of cultural decline. Through dozens of intimate and revealing interviews with those who knew Springer best—from his big sister to his early political aides to the producers who shaped his show—listeners will be transported into the world of this singular figure’s rise to notoriety, and his fascinating struggle to reconcile his status as “the king of trash TV” with his lifelong dream of returning to politics.
Final Thoughts examines timeless questions about ambition, compromise, and whether we can ever truly separate who we are from what we do for a living. Was Jerry Springer a principled would-be statesman who took a detour into the gutter, or did his show reveal something essential about his character – not to mention ours?
Final Thoughts was hosted and produced by Leon Neyfakh. The senior producer was Sam Lee. The editor was Diane Hodson. Sound design by Andrew Parsons. Producers were Katherine Sullivan and Arlene Arevalo, with additional production by Dustin DeSoto and Madeline Kaplan.
Archival research by Laura Coxson, with additional archival research by Francis Carr. Fact-checking by Maggie Duffy, with additional fact-checking by Madeline Kaplan. Theme song composed by Billy Libby. Audio mix by Erica Huang. Andrew Parsons is the executive producer at Prologue Projects.

Historia
In this chilling true crime series, we tell the stories of pillars of the community who betrayed the trust of those around them and challenged what we all think about the people we’ve come to rely on. Police officers, teachers, doctors and nurses, we believe these people are here to protect us from harm, not cause it. This series looks at some of the most heinous crimes perpetrated by people in positions of trust and examines the ripples their actions left on their community.

Historia
Humpback whales are among the most intelligent animals on Earth. Some scientists believe they might even surpass humans in self-awareness, empathy, and communication skills. In this episode, we swim with a whale as he teams up with other humpbacks to use bubbles to catch fish, rescues a sea lion, and puts his own spin on melodies sung by whales across the Pacific Ocean. This is the world in its natural state, defined by seasons, routines, and cycles. By the time this whale is ready to close one eye and go to sleep, you will be too.

On April 30, 1975, the Communist capture of the city of Saigon brought an end to more than 20 years of war in Vietnam. The end of the war reunified a divided nation—and changed the course of global politics, military strategy, and international relations for decades to come. In the six lectures of The Fall of Saigon: The Vietnam War 50 Years in Review, historian Edward G. Lengel takes you back to the final years of the long and complex conflict that ravaged the small Southeast Asian nation of Vietnam and bled disastrously into surrounding countries, altering the region forever.

Historia
A Russian dissident, a Jesuit priest, and an American mule skinner are but a few of the bold visionaries who crafted the scientific story of cosmic origins. The collective insights of these and numerous creative thinkers advanced human understanding from mythology to mathematics, yielding falsifiable alternatives to ancient folklore and campfire tales. Listening to the Big Bang tells the dramatic human story—filled with colorful characters, unsung catalysts, and glorified heroes—which made the Big Bang the leading cosmological theory.

Learned a lot of new things about Jerry Springer
This was basically a documentary about Jerry Springer, including interviews with those that knew him and had worked with him during his career, and even though I knew who he was, I did not know anything about him. I thought this was very informative and entertaining. I highly recommend it.

already knew much of this but in the context of trump....mind blown.
Having gone to school in the Midwest, I knew the story of Jerry Springer and his hidden talent as a canny politician and also as a pretty good guy--attested to by my boyfriend in college who caddied for Mr Springer. But I never thought about any of this in the context of how virtue signaling brought down the democratic party. He could have been a Trump candidate who left the world a better place, but us dems were too sanctimonious to ever allow that to happen. For anyone who wants to condemn Springer for his show--breads and circuses. If he hadn't done it, someone else would have. Maybe at least now we can acknowledge that understanding how to work the media is a feature, not a bug of the successful candidate.
