Ep. - 1701 - UNTOLD: THE TESTIMONY OF VINCE YOUNG

Aug 27, 2026

John Henion, director of Netflix's new documentary Untold: The Testimony of Vince Young, joins the show to unpack the rise and fall of the Texas Longhorns legend, from his childhood in Houston's Hiram Clarke neighborhood, raised by his mother and grandmother while his father was in and out of prison, through his legendary run at Texas under Mack Brown, and into the conflict-riddled NFL career that followed. On January 4th, 2006, Vince Young delivered what's still argued to be the greatest individual performance in college football history, 467 total yards and a game-winning touchdown with 19 seconds left, beating USC to give Texas its first national title in 35 years, and the Rose Bowl made him a legend. What came after became a cautionary tale: a bruising relationship with the Tennessee Titans, a leaked Wonderlic score that followed him for years, a very public mental health scare, and a $26 million bankruptcy. The film culminates in how Vince has worked to become the present, hands-on father he never had.

Ep. - 1700 - LOVE IS BLIND: UK

Aug 26, 2026

Chris DeRosa joins Kate to discuss season 3 of Love Is Blind: UK on Netflix. They break down this exceptionally attractive cast, the hilariously dramatic music, the differences between the UK and American versions, and the couples heading toward the weddings. They discuss Ciara’s expensive expectations and habit of stirring the pot, Jack and Faye’s chances of making it down the aisle, Ryan’s mysterious career and the Reddit rabbit hole surrounding his work, why Yasmin deserves the world, and whether Sophie and Taylor could become one of the franchise’s most successful couples. Chris and Kate make their wedding predictions, pick the cast members most likely to cause chaos at the reunion, and explain why this season’s biggest problem may be that the British cast is simply too polite.

Ep. - 1699 - DEATH OF A PASTOR’S WIFE

Aug 25, 2026

Alexa Burger is producer of Netflix’s three-part documentary series Death of the Pastor’s Wife. The series tells the story of Mica Miller, a 30-year-old pastor’s wife from South Carolina whose April 2024 death was ruled a suicide. Mica grew up deeply rooted in her faith and met John-Paul “JP” Miller, a pastor sixteen years her senior, when she was 13. Years later, the two married, and Mica became a prominent presence in his church. As their marriage deteriorated, allegations of abuse, coercive control, surveillance, and harassment emerged, and Mica began speaking publicly about abusive relationships. Two days after serving JP with divorce papers, she was found dead in a North Carolina state park. Featuring never-before-seen footage and firsthand accounts from Mica’s family and friends, Death of the Pastor’s Wife examines her life, marriage, final months, and the troubling questions that emerged after her death.

Ep. - 1697 - SATURDAY SERIES: KYLE BYLIN

Aug 22, 2026

Kyle Bylin was switched at birth with Jeremy Morrison in a small North Dakota hospital, and did not learn the truth until he was 36 years old. The discovery came after a years-long trail of Ancestry DNA matches that did not add up, leading him to Morrison's biological aunt. That connection confirmed it: Bylin and Morrison, the only two babies born at Unity Medical Center in Grafton, North Dakota, on January 26, 1988, had gone home with each other's bracelets. On this Saturday Series episode, Kate Casey talks with Bylin, who was raised in Adams, North Dakota, by Evelyn Newton and Keith Bylin, about meeting his biological parents, Elizabeth O'Toole and Terry Morrison, for the first time as an adult, the unexpected traits and interests he shares with his biological family, and the identity questions the discovery raised after decades of a settled sense of self. He also discusses what it means to now navigate two sets of parents and the loss that comes with each. Bylin and Morrison's families have since filed a lawsuit against the hospital, which denies responsibility and says records from 1988 no longer exist. Bylin works as an assessment and research librarian and hosts the podcast Infinite Stream, about the impact of artificial intelligence on higher education.

Aug 17, 2026
