Introducing, your new podcast obsession, Missing Richard Simmons.
Now, before you immediately jump (or squat, or lunge…) to conclusions, may we offer you this one tidbit about the current most-listened to podcast: you don't have to know, or have any interest in, the fitness mogul in order to be instantly hooked to the show.
Here's what we know…
On February 15, 2014, Richard Simmons seemingly disappeared from society. He withdrew completely from his friends and confidants, he abruptly stopped showing up to teach his workout class in Los Angeles at Slimmons studio and he hasn't been seen in public since.
Now there are a few theories out there explaining why the 68-year-old has gone MIA, some ranging from innocent to downright sinister, but we'll spare you our predictions and let you come to your own conclusions yourselves.
Each week, filmmaker Dan Taberski takes listeners on his investigative journey to finding out exactly what happened to Simmons back in 2014 and where he is today.
Not only will Taberski's storytelling leave you on the edge of your seat but this mission hits close to home as the two were actually close friends before Richards' disappearance.
So take it from us, Missing Richard Simmons is a surefire way to curb your podcast cravings until the next season of Serial comes along. You can thank us later.
