Introducing... Final Thoughts: Jerry Springer
Manage episode 487828223 series 3620729
From Leon Neyfakh and Prologue Projects — the award-winning team behind Think Twice: Michael Jackson, Slow Burn, Fiasco, and Backfired — comes a new Audible Original, Final Thoughts: Jerry Springer.
You may think you know Jerry Springer—the iconic TV host who presided over America's most controversial daytime talk show for 27 years. In that time, Springer’s name became synonymous with outrageous guests, taboo confessions, and vicious on-stage fights. But before The Jerry Springer Show made him infamous all over the world, Springer was something else entirely: a respected Midwestern politician whom many saw as a future leader in the Democratic Party. So how did this serious-minded idealist with lofty political aspirations take such a turn in such a radically different direction?
Final Thoughts examines timeless questions about ambition, compromise, and whether we can ever truly separate who we are from what we do for a living.
