    Don't Die: The Man Who Wants to Live Forever
    Jan 22 2025
    After making his fortune in tech, Bryan Johnson has set his sights on an even more valuable goal: finding a fountain of youth through cutting-edge science. Employing a mix of smoothies, fitness, regimented sleep, high-tech therapies, and more than 100 pills and supplements, Bryan has been able to slow the aging rate of his body. His Blueprint Protocol has earned him lots of attention, and lots of derision from those who see his quest as folly. And Bryan’s pursuit of even more radical techniques has many questioning how far is too far in his desire for longevity. The Netflix documentary film Don’t Die: The Man Who Wants to Live Forever, follows Bryan’s uncharted path to maximize his lifespan and share his results with the world. It explores whether any of his accomplishments can be replicated. And it seeks to go deeper into his life to explore what is really animating the millionaire’s high-profile attempt to live as long as possible. In this episode of You Can't Make This Up, host Rebecca Lavoie interviews director Chris Smith. SPOILER ALERT!

  • Jerry Springer: Fights, Camera, Action

    Jerry Springer: Fights, Camera, Action
    Jan 15 2025
    Jerry Springer’s dull new talk show was relegated to an overnight time slot and the likelihood of cancellation. But when he teamed up with a new executive producer - one with a taste for the sensational - the show evolved into a must-watch television circus. And when guests started punching each other, the ratings went through the roof. The Netflix documentary series Jerry Springer: Fights, Camera, Action revisits the outrageous talk show, zooming in on the relationship between its affable host and the string-pulling Svengali that - for better or worse - changed television. It brings viewers behind the cameras into the demanding lives of the show’s segment runners. And it looks at the effects the show had in the lives of its guests, resulting in broken hearts, broken bones, and even murder. In this episode of You Can't Make This Up, host Rebecca Lavoie interviews former “The Jerry Springer Show” producer Toby Yoshimura. SPOILER ALERT! If you haven't watched Jerry Springer: Fights, Camera, Action yet, make sure to add it to your watch-list before listening on. Listen to more from Netflix Podcasts.
