AHC Podcast

Sean ”P Diddy” Combs

Many of the trendsetters from a couple decades ago have started to see the sun set on their careers.  Whether it’s just a lack of work for an aging star or doing something dumb and getting cancelled.  Then there are those that withstand the test of time, adapt and change with new generations, and figure out how to last. We’ve covered many of these folks on our show before and we’ll add another to the list today, Sean Puff Daddy Puffy P Diddy Diddy Combs. While Diddy made his many names in the music world, his business ventures outside of music have really added to his cash stash.  But on his way to the top, Puffy has found his way into the news for a number of reasons.  It’s a mix of gangster rap stuff, graduating over the years into a dad defending his son.  But has it all been on the up and up, or has Diddy really been a Bad Boy, like he started out?  How was he linked to Biggie Small’s murder?  What do he and Nick Cannon have in common?  We’re going to dive into these questions and a whole lot more in this episode of AHC Podcast.

Joel Osteen

The pastors of mega churches are a different breed of people.  We’ve covered a number of them here on AHC Podcast, and the scandals discussed, and corresponding scores seem to shed some of the light on the true work of these “men of the pulpit”.  This episode is about perhaps the most famous of the predatory preachers, Joel Osteen.  With tycoon-type wealth and a following in the millions, it does seem that Osteen has brought good to a lot of people.  But have the private jets and suits worth 3 mortgage payments all come to him in good faith?  Is there more to this Tim Allen/Martin Short look-alike than we know?  We’ll dive into this and a whole lot more on this episode of AHC Podcast.

**Double Episode - Conspiracy Court!!**

What’s up AHC Nation, we’ve got a special treat for you this week.  As all of you know, because we mention it every episode, our Patreon page features a separate show outside of AHC Podcast, called Conspiracy Court.  We thought it was only fair to share a sliver of some of what our paid subscribers enjoy every month to all you freeloaders out there.  I’m kidding, your support is all appreciated!

It’s actually going to be a double dose of Conspiracy Court for you, all wrapped into one download.  Don’t forget, you can get in on the fun and join the AHC Podcast Patreon page at Patreon.com/ahcpodcast.  Kick back, relax, and enjoy the Conspiracy Court episodes!

Bill Cosby

The #MeToo Movement has brought forward several contestants to the AHC Courtroom, but in this episode, we summon the white whale of the group, Bill Cosby.  With a career lasting back to the 1960’s, Cosby was a pioneer in the TV industry before he became America’s favorite Dad – and then that squeaky clean image he worked so hard to maintain, all went away.  With the accusation of sexual assault from scores of women dating back decades, and the eventual conviction of one, Cosby has fallen so far from the top where he once sat.  Was there any truth to Cosby’s claims of innocence?  What was Bill’s drug dealer thinking about when all this came to light?  We’ll dive into this and a whole lot more in the Bill Cosby episode of AHC Podcast.

David Koresh

The Waco Siege was an insane standoff between the Branch Davidians and the US government.  What started as an attempt to see what was going on inside the infamous compound, turned into a months-long horror story that still has America talking today.  The leader of that cult and the subject of today’s show, David Koresh, can rightfully be classified as a monster, but what was it that drew his followers to him?  Was it his insane, ultra-conservative message?  The idea that he was the second coming of God?  Was it that curly head of hair, paired with the pedo glasses?  We’ll dive into this and a whole lot more in the David Koresh episode of AHC Podcast.

Gordon Ramsay

Most of us have jobs that, if televised, may not make for great TV.  Let’s face it, taking phone calls at your desk, laying concrete, or meeting with a customer doesn’t really rake in the ratings.  But, some of the more interesting jobs are accentuated by even more interesting characters.  Enter someone like the subject of this episode, Gordon Ramsay.   While cooking shows have captured audiences for decades, Ramsay has taken the celebrity chef status to the next level.  His restaurant empire stretches around the world, but other than his food, what is he best known for?  That fiery temper of his.  There have been a lot of conversations around its authenticity and how it plays well for TV, but is it the real Gordon?  With all the success he’s had, are there some skeletons in the kitchen closet that we may not really hear about?  We’ll dive into this and much more in the Gordon Ramsay episode of AHC Podcast.

Elvis Presley

To be called the King or Queen of something, you’ve got to have the public buy-in for it to stick.  The King of Pop, Michael Jackson, or Lebron “King” James, and don’t forget the Sausage King of Chicago, Abe Froman.  But for many, if you just reference “The King”, Elvis Presley, will come to mind.  Elvis was a larger-than-life celebrity in his prime and more has been documented about him than most US Presidents.  His southern twang and soulful sounds sold millions of albums and those swangin’ hips caused plenty of controversy along the way.  But was it just his gyrations that had everyone up in arms?  Elvis seemed to be a good guy, but is there more to those karate kicks and quaaludes?  We’ll dive into this and a whole lot more in this rockin’ episode of AHC Podcast.

Tupac Shakur

We’ve had many musicians depart this world far too soon, leaving us wondering what could have been. Today’s show subject, Tupac Shakur, may just be near the top of that list.  From poverty to Poetic Justice, to 2Pacalypse, Shakur showed the world his many talents in the short time he had with us.  But, there seemed to be many different sides of ‘Pac, many we knew about, some perhaps not. Could you imagine a world where Tupac was a Broadway star and not living that thug life?  Maybe one where he stayed in his native New York and actually teamed up with Biggie?  We’re going to dive into this and a whole lot more in this thug-tastic Tupac Shakur episode of AHC Podcast.

Lindsay Lohan

Everyone loves a good comeback story, and the subject of this episode is queen of second chances.  Lindsay Lohan went from childhood star to tabloid headline during her late teens.  She went on a spree of run-ins with the law and stints in rehab that put the likes of Robert Downey Jr. and Brittany Spears to shame.  But was this all just a string of bad decisions or was there more to the story than what we saw on TMZ and on the magazines in line at the grocery store? We’ll dive into all this and a whole lot more in the Lindsay Lohan episode of AHC Podcast.

GG Allin

We’ve covered a wide variety of subjects in our courtroom, and while GG Allin may not be a household name, he may be the nastiest person we’ve ever discussed.  It’s not the “nasty women” nasty, it’s the poop on the stage, spit on your fans kind of nasty. While his music was mostly forgettable, his cult-like legacy in the punk rock world continues to live on.  Throw on the jockstrap that looks best in public and check out the GG Allin episode of AHC Podcast!

Throughout history, pioneers have blazed trails for new ways of life.  Lewis, Clark, and Sacajawea headed out west, Thomas Edison lit up our lives, and Rosa Parks showed everyone that it doesn’t matter where you sit on the bus.  Today’s show subject is one of the pioneers of the entertainment world and changed the template of TV forever, Jerry Springer.  Love him or hate him, Jerry Springer was must see TV back in the late 90’s and early 2000’s.  Kids rushed home from school to tune in to the latest hair-pulling, clothes-ripping fistfight as parents everywhere cringed once they realized what their kids were watching.  With Jerry’s past primarily in law and politics, how did the former Mayor of Cincinnati become one of the most hated men on TV?  Did he know the impact he would have on society as a whole?  Would you try to get Jerry Beads if you went to a taping of the show?  We’ll dive into all this and more in the Jerry Springer episode of AHC Podcast.

Rupert Murdoch

We’re all familiar with the names and faces of the anchors on our local news stations. They provide us with the top stories in the area, the weather, sports, and all the while, intentionally staying (mostly) politically neutral.  Then, there are the cable news stations.  We’re all familiar with their anchor’s names and faces as well, but their agendas are clearly catered to one side of the aisle or the other.  But who is it running the show and determining the message behind the scenes?  How did all this get started anyway?  Rupert Murdoch is one of the pioneers in the cable and TV industry, and the empire he has been able to amass over the years is astounding.  His reach is literally around the globe and in so many different mediums.  But, is the pioneer of political posturing nearing the end of his time?  What is the succession plan for his empire after he kicks his golden bucket?  We’ll dive into this and more in this episode of AHC Podcast.

Conor McGregor

Have you ever been around someone that just makes you nervous the whole time?  You never know what they are going to do, what they may say, or what kind of trouble YOU may get in just by being around them.  From the image he’s created over the years, Conor McGregor definitely seems like someone you would want to be on your toes around.  He’s knockout out many of people, legally, in the octagon, becoming one of UFC’s most celebrated champions.  But he has a tendency to not keep his hands to himself when playing with others in the sandbox of life, and it’s seems it could start to catch up with him.  Can Conor chill with the public pugilism and enjoy the bookoos of bucks he’s made, or will he find his way into the cancel culture whirlwind?  We’ll dive into this and more in this episode of AHC Podcast.

Tony Robbins

When life gets tough, some people find themselves reaching out to others for help. In many cases, this is a friend or family member or mentor. But some will reach out to complete strangers who offer advice on how to overcome adversity, improve themselves, or simply cope. Call them whatever you want-- life coach, guru, motivational speaker-- they are not a new phenomenon. In this episode, we dive into the man who is arguably the biggest to ever fill a conference center-- Tony Robbins. Is he a legit force for self-help or just another charlatan? Listen up and decide.

Miley Cyrus

We’ve touched on a number of celebrities that were child stars on our show, but arguably none of those have risen to the levels of adult superstardom of today’s show subject.  Miley Cyrus went from pre-teen royalty as Hannah Montana, to coming out swinging like a wrecking ball as a young adult.  She’s continued to produce hit album after hit album, all while keeping her name in the news for the craziest of reasons.  But is the Miley we see on TMZ the true depiction of the person?  How does one come to be Hannah Montana?  Has your godmother, Dolly Parton, ever put you in your place?  We’ll dive into these questions and more in the Miley Cyrus episode of AHC Podcast.

Dolly Parton

“There’s nothing more American than baseball and apple pie”… if you throw in today’s show subject, you may just have the ultimate American trio.  Dolly Parton has been in the music industry for over 50 years and has sold millions and millions of albums.  She’s worked with some of the biggest names in entertainment and has made a resurgence over the past 10 years or so (probably doesn’t hurt to be Miley Cyrus’ godmother either).  Usually show subjects will have some dirt on them or at least something negative to talk about. Dolly has seemed to dodge the headlines with any nonsense over the years, but is there more to the story of the big-boobed beauty?  Check out this rootin’ tootin’ good time on the latest episode of AHC Podcast.

Jordan Peterson

The transformation of individual people is an amazing thing.  As we all grow older and wiser, the lessons we learn and apply in our everyday lives make things easier and less stressful.  Well, this goes for most of us at least.  You still see the 50-year old guy in the mall, rocking an Affliction shirt, spiked hair, jeans with a design on the back pocket, and a pair of Oakley's on the forehead.  The subject of today’s show, Jordan Peterson, didn’t take the Benjamin Button approach to dressing himself, but did take a highly respected career in academia and transform it to be an online influence - who’s started to go off the rails in recent years.  What made the former Harvard professor make the change?  What message does he give that draws such a large audience?  Why so much hate for one group of people?  We’ll dive into this and more in the Jordan Peterson episode of AHC Podcast.

Joe Rogan

We’ve all heard the phrase “jack of all trades, master of none”.  Unfortunately, most of us seem to fall into this category and is the reason WE aren’t the subject of podcasts people listen to.  But we all may know someone that does seem to be quite good at several things.  It’s quite annoying actually, but the respect is there.  The subject of today’s show definitely seems to fit into that latter category.  Joe Rogan has been the face of multiple successful enterprises, stretching over multiple decades now.  As the host of Fear Factor and the color commentator of UFC, these were just a few of the roles that put Rogan in the spotlight.  His podcast, one of the most listened to in the world, has risen his stardom to new levels.  But not everyone is a huge fan.  The platform he provides comes with a lot of responsibility and not all have praised how’s he’s gone about it.  How much control does Joe have over his show?  How much heat does he get from his guests?  How cool was it to smoke weed with Elon Musk?  We’ll dive into these questions and more in this episode of AHC Podcast.

The Pilgrims - Thanksgiving Reboot!

The Pilgrims and the Indians laid the groundwork for one of America’s favorite holidays, Thanksgiving.  Plymouth Rock, the Mayflower, weird hats with buckles, and of course, the big feast, painted a picture of harmony and unity between the new settlers and the natives.  But what was this scene really like?  Was the New World the first choice for the Pilgrims?  Did the Pilgrims live up to their end of the bargain to the people that financially backed their voyage?  Fill that paper plate full of turkey, stuffing, and mashed potatoes and enjoy this Thanksgiving episode of AHC Podcast.

John Wayne

There aren’t many things more American than baseball, apple pie, and John Wayne.  Wayne lived in a time where movie stars were revered, almost as mythical figures, and due to lack of social media, 24/7 coverage, and the good ‘ole boy system.  He dodged the cancel culture by multiple decades, but as the internet has shown, you can’t hide forever.  What could “The Duke” have done to bring him to our courtroom?  Was he a real American hero, or was there a lot more to his war-time story?  We’ll dive into this and more in this episode of AHC Podcast.
