   Ep. - 1725 - THE SWAN: BEHIND THE MIRROR

   Director Erin Lee Carr joins Kate to talk about her Hulu documentary The Swan: Behind the Mirror, along with former contestants Kristy Garza from season one and Kari Bravata from season two. The Swan premiered on Fox in 2004 and promised women a total life makeover: three months of plastic surgery, cosmetic dentistry, therapy, and fitness training. The contestants were isolated from their families, expected to accept what the doctors decided, and barred from looking in a mirror until a dramatic on-camera reveal. Then only one woman from each episode advanced to a beauty pageant to be crowned…

   Ep. - 1721 - SATURDAY SERIES: MICHAEL SWERDLICK CAN’T BUY ME LOVE SCREENWRITER

   Michael Swerdlick, writer of the beloved 1987 film Can’t Buy Me Love, shares the remarkable story of how his first screenplay went from a typewritten script sitting on a shelf to a defining teen comedy. He reveals how Patrick Dempsey was cast at the last minute, the real-life inspiration behind the story, Paula Abdul’s role in creating the African Anteater Ritual, Michael Jackson’s connection to the film’s title, and what he remembers about the late Amanda Peterson.

   Daniel Levin, director of 14 Days in Gainesville, joins Kate to revisit one of the strangest collisions of true crime and sports in American history — the 1990 Gainesville murders and Steve Spurrier's first season as head coach of the Florida Gators. In August 1990, five students were murdered in their off-campus apartments in the span of days, sending a college town into lockdown just as Spurrier arrived to rebuild a struggling football program. Daniel and Kate dig into the fourteen days that terrorized Gainesville, the massive manhunt that followed, and how a football stadium became the…
