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.

Cronus (Zeus), featuring Nick Hopping & Matisyahu Nissim
Friday Aug 16, 2024
Friday Aug 16, 2024
This week we welcome back Nick Hopping and Matisyahu Nissim to talk about Cronus, Zeus' dad who ate Zeus' siblings and would've eaten him too if not for Prometheus and his tricky tricks. This counts as on-theme cause he's an overshadowed father. Fight me.

Zach's stuck in Canada, so we're releasing a bonus episode of a now-defunct podcast nobody heard, Hoppothetically. It's fun and features friend of the pod Nick Hopping, because it was his podcast. That is now defunct. He lost. Or maybe we lost cause we're still doing a podcast... Either way, enjoy.

Myra "The Kid" Lewis (Jerry Lee Lewis)
Thursday Jul 11, 2024
Thursday Jul 11, 2024
There's a whole lotta sleezin' going on this week as we cover Myra Lewis, the 13-year old child bride and first cousin of rockstar Jerry Lee Lewis, who lost it all once England found out he married a child. Aw. We discuss how their fraudulent marriage became a reality, getting canceled in the 50's, and the warm embrace of Jerry into country music's cousin-loving arms.
Stay tuned next Thursday for a tell-all about Jimmy Swaggart, one of Jerry's cousins he didn't marry: a famous televangelist taken down for his love of corner-working women.
