Overshadowed Podcast
Overshadowed is a podcast about the siblings and spouses of people who changed the world. Have you ever felt overlooked or irrelevant because of your sibling’s accomplishments? How do you think Asia Booth felt after her brother assassinated Abraham Lincoln? Pretty bad! It overtook her life, and she even wrote a memoir trying to humanize John. ”He was so nice to everyone, I have no idea how this could’ve happened!” kind of stuff. Check out episode one to learn more (and try to overlook its ”episode 1” elements.) Siblings we’ve covered include: Nannerl Mozart, Theo Van Gogh, Marc ”Cage” Coppola, Joseph Bonaparte, and many more. We also cover spouses who (typically...) prop up their loved ones, like George Putnam (Amelia Earhart) and Lady Bird Johnson (Lyndon B. Johnson), although in grim cases like Cleopatra and Albert Einstein, those spouses don’t fare so well. This podcast is hosted by comedians Zach Russell and Charles Engle so chill out. Suggestions for siblings/spouses/weird stories? Write to us overshadowedpod@gmail.com Patreon for standup sets,roast battles, bonus episodes, and more!

We talk san diego plane crash, the devil wears prada, married in the summer adhd tests, and more of Charles' health bs. Zach's sick - sorry about that. But not because Charles is right.

We take a chainsaw to Elon Musk’s self-made image and talk about the twisted family tree that raised the world’s richest man.
FAMILY COVERED:
- Papa Errol Musk, a man who raised his kids by dropping them on survival missions and later fathered two kids with his stepdaughter
- Kimball Musk, Elon’s lesser-known brother who's more Cochellahead than colonizer
- Joshua Haldemann (Elon's Canadian Nazi grandpa)
- Maye Musk - Supermodel mom
Including: Hammerdome, Trump's literacy, male vs female daddy issues.
If you’ve ever wondered what creates a man who names his kid X Æ A-12 and fights Twitter users like it’s Thunderdome, this one’s for you.
