| 6/26/26 |  The Backstory: The Deadliest Shark Attack in History | As we head out for our summer vacations, some of us are lucky enough to be headed to the ocean. Blue skies, sunshine, blue water to the horizon. But there's always that nagging fear, as Jaws taught us, that underneath those frothing white waves, sharks may be lurking. This is the story of the deadliest shark attack in history. Feel free to DM me if you have a story you'd like me to cover . . On Facebook it's Patty Steele and on Instagram Real Patty Steele.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. | 8m 10s | ||||||
| 6/23/26 |  The Backstory: The Tallest Man in the World Dwarfs NBA Players | Watching the NBA Finals, a Lot of Us Became Mesmerized by the Size of These Athletes. A Lot of Those Guys Are 7 Feet or More. But Imagine Somebody Who Was a Full 2 Feet Taller Than Those Players. This Is Robert Wadlow’s Life. Feel Free to DM Me if You Have a Story You’d Like Me to Cover . .

| 6/19/26 |  The Backstory: What They Don't Tell You About The Wizard of Oz | We all love The Wizard of Oz, right? So why was it a box office flop when it came out? And why was production so horrible for the cast and crew? It’s a story of what people put up with (and still put up with) to make it in Hollywood.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. | 6m 34s | ||||||
| 6/16/26 |  The Backstory: Juneteenth: The Evolution of Freedom | This time of year, we're reminded that freedom is what America is all about. But as recently as 1972, there was still a living person who had been born into slavery. And another man lived to share his story of the very first Juneteenth . . . when freedom was finally brought to every state in the Union. Feel free to DM me if you have a story you'd like me to cover . . . on Facebook, it's Patty Steele, and on Instagram, it's Real Patty Steele.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. | 7m 29s | ||||||
