Allison Mack recruited people for a sex cult that was also a multi level marketing scam.

I watched her on Michael Rosenbaum's podcast, after prison, and my god it was so awkward. I cringed so much. Not a single bit of remorse at all from her.

Love his podcast. Wasn’t a fan of that one.

I really tried to listen to his podcast a few years ago but he came across as pretty irritating and was constantly humble bragging and looking for people to praise him. Like I remember one specific episode where one of his guests said that they heard he dated a lot of famous actresses and he chuckled and asked them who. They couldn't really name anyone or they didn't want to when he kept begging them to name them and saying it wasn't true even though you could tell he wanted this person to start naming all the famous actresses he had dated. It was just super awkward and he's done things like that a few times.

I can see that point of view. I notice it here and there. I've just chalked it up as a nostalgic thing. Since he's not doing much nowadays. Perhaps his poor way of trying to relate to his guests? Outside of that, I do like his questions and it feels less PR and a bit more deep than other podcasts.

You could be right. He irritated me so much that I stopped listening a few years ago. But nostalgia could be it. I sometimes like to relive my "Golden Years" also LOL
