David Greene is Obsessed

David Greene is Obsessed

A new weekly show about the things that consume us, the things we can't let go of, and why it all matters. Every week, David Greene — the long-time co-host of NPR's biggest show, Morning Edition — faces off with a new guest, to confront and discuss the things that consume them. What do our obsessions mean? What do they say about us? And why do we need them? It's a show about connecting with people, sharing stories of our obsessions, and working through them. From politics to pizza, karaoke to knitting, name just about anything, and someone out there has an obsession with it.

    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.
