This week for the Spotlight Sunday feature, I am reviewing the documentary podcast, The Shrink Next Door. This podcast series was released in 2019. There are 11 episodes available at the time of writing. The following overview is provided from the Apple Podcast page: Veteran journalist Joe Nocera’s neighbor in the Hamptons was a therapist named Ike. Ike counted celebrities and Manhattan elites as his patients. He’d host star-studded parties at his eccentric vacation house. But one summer, Joe discovered that Ike was gone and everything he’d thought he’d known about his neighbor – and the house next door – was wrong. From Wondery, the company behind Dirty John and Dr. Death, and Bloomberg, “The Shrink Next Door” is a story about power, control and turning to the wrong person for help for three decades. Written and hosted by Joe Nocera, a columnist for Bloomberg, “The Shrink Next Door” premieres on May 21st.
This series was an intense ride. The power that Ike was able to wield over patients is disgusting. How could this behavior have gone on for so long and not been flagged by any governing body? I feel that this podcast is a must-list for so many reasons. This story had my jaw on the floor with every new fact learned.
I give this podcast 4 out of 5 stars.
Tomorrow for the Movie Monday feature, I am reviewing the biopic, Brain on Fire. Next week for the Spotcast Sunday feature, I am reviewing the business podcast, B2B Word of Mouth Marketing. Until then keep listening on; Nerd Out.
