When it comes to nutrition, it can be hard to know what to believe. It seems like every other week there’s a new headline. Why are food allergies on the rise? How much protein do we really need? So what’s clickbait and what’s real? Welcome to Body Unboxed– a new podcast by Pearson, hosted by Anahad O’Connor and Joan Salge Blake. On every episode we’re breaking down some of the biggest questions about nutrition -- with the help of certified health experts who quite literally 'wrote the book' on nutrition. Every episode will feature the real science delivered from some of the world’s top scientists, writers and researchers. Plus, we will be offering bonus content from Pearson audiobooks. Tune into Body Unboxed by Pearson, produced by Neon Hum Media, wherever you get your podcasts.

    Love Trapped

    Love Trapped

    Former Bachelor Clayton Echard’s casual one-night fling turned into a paternity nightmare. When the news broke about the scandal, no one believed Clayton at first. He was a reality TV star, and an unpopular one at that. Clayton found himself trying to prove the truth, while trapped in a web of lies, manipulation, and threats. He would soon discover he was not the only one. At its core, this is a story about who you believe and why. It’s an epic battle that would take a group of strangers, citizen sleuths from across the world, to crack the case and finally hold someone accountable. New episodes of Love Trapped are released every Thursday, starting February 26th, 2026. If you would like to reach out to the Love Trapped team, email us at lovetrappedpod@gmail.com and follow along on Instagram @glasspodcasts.
