For fifteen years, you could call a number in Manhattan and do just that. This is the story of the line, and the man at the other end became consumed by his own creation. He was known as “Mr. Apology.” As thousands of callers flooded the line, confessing to everything from shoplifting to infidelity, drug dealing with murder, Mr. Apology realized he couldn’t just listen. He had to do something, even if it meant risking everything. From Wondery the makers of Dr. Death and The Shrink Next Door comes a story about empathy, deception, and obsession. Marissa Bridge, who knew Mr. Apology better than anyone, hosts this six-episode series.For both: It's a serial, so from the start.https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/wondery-presents-the-apology-line/id1179629560?i=1000505768852Nick Recommends - Opening ArgumentsEvery episode, legal expert Andrew and comic relief Thomas will tackle a popular legal topic and give you all the tools you need to understand the issue and win every argument you have on Facebook, with your Uncle Frank, or wherever someone is wrong on the Internet.
