The Ginni Show

What if the wisdom you need to change your life is just one question away? Welcome to The Ginni Show, where multi-award-nominated broadcaster, producer, and entrepreneur Ginni Saraswati sits down with the world’s most fascinating minds—experts, Olympians, doctors, disruptors, and everyday revolutionaries—for unapologetically curious conversations that heal, elevate, and expand the way we live. This is not another self-help podcast stuffed with regurgitated advice. It’s where insight meets intention. From neuroscience-backed sleep hacks with Dr. Alison Kole, to mastering your focus with behavioral design guru Nir Eyal, from emotional detoxing with cancer-thriver Elissa Goodman, to Olympic breakdancer Sunny Choi’s raw reflections on failure, identity, and joy—each episode is a masterclass in embodied wisdom, served with wit, warmth, and clarity. It’s where the questions we’re all afraid to ask are voiced. The ones that cut through noise, challenge dogma, and invite authenticity to the table. Guests are invited into intimate dialogue—human to human, heart to heart—where transformation doesn’t sound like a TED Talk, but like a friend handing you a flashlight in the dark. You’ll walk away with more than motivation. You’ll leave with tactical tools, paradigm shifts, and the quiet nudge to look inward. Expect science-rooted truths on productivity, holistic health, emotional mastery, creative resilience, and how to live in deeper alignment with who you truly are. Whether you're an overachieving entrepreneur trying to unhook from hustle culture, a seeker curious about what lies beyond the scroll, or simply a human looking to feel more alive, The Ginni Show will meet you where you are—and lovingly call you forward. New episodes drop weekly. Each one is a portal. Step in—and come out lighter. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Wisecrack

    He left home as the chubby kid with a dream, a decade later, he's a touring comic with a killer set. Literally. In Wisecrack, stand-up comedian Edd Hedges returns to his hometown for a charity gig, only to find himself headlining the most terrifying night of his life. The warm welcome quickly unravels into a chilling true crime tale of a downward spiral and a town shaken by murder. When TV crime producer Jodi Tovay stumbled across Edd’s comedy set, it did more than get a few laughs, it opened the door to a years-long investigation she never saw coming. Part comedy special, part true crime thriller, Wisecrack blends punchlines with plot twists in a genre-defying ride where the laughs are real and the danger is no joke.
