ROY RICHARD GRINKER, professor of anthropology and international affairs at George Washington University, and author of the book, Nobody’s Normal: How Culture Created the Stigma of Mental Illness joins Jillian to discuss how culture contributes to the stigma of obesity, mental illness, and homophobia. Plus, we look at how mental illness is viewed in other nations, and how society and environment can be part of the solution. We also cover how parents can pass on trauma to a baby through epigenetics and what we can do about it.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
