Renowned sportscaster Danny Parkins joins host DJ Stewart to share how his career behind the microphone has become a force for change far beyond sports. Danny reflects on his early days in broadcasting, the origins of his first radiothon that has since raised nearly $2 million for brain cancer research, and partnerships with the Chicago Cubs, Brain Up, and Head for the Cure that continue to honor his brother Brad’s legacy. With honesty and heart, he opens up about Brad’s mantra “Respect the Journey,” the humor that carried his family through difficult moments, the challenges of caregiving while raising his own young family, and the lasting lessons learned through grief. Full of inspiration, this episode highlights how love, resilience, and community create an enduring legacy in the face of glioblastoma.

Betrayal Season 5
Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
