Minutia Men Celebrity Interview on Radio Misfits
Rick Kaempfer and David Stern (Chicago publishers at Eckhartz Press) interview celebrities every week. As the name “Minutia Men” implies, the interviews often delve into lesser-known details of well-known celebrities, or examinations into celebrities that aren’t as well known.

Hosted by Laura Beil (Dr. Death, Bad Batch), Sympathy Pains is a six-part series from Neon Hum Media and iHeartRadio. For 20 years, Sarah Delashmit told people around her that she had cancer, muscular dystrophy, and other illnesses. She used a wheelchair and posted selfies from a hospital bed. She told friends and coworkers she was trapped in abusive relationships, or that she was the mother of children who had died. It was all a con. Sympathy was both her great need and her powerful weapon. But unlike most scams, she didn’t want people’s money. She was after something far more valuable.
