About This Podcast
A father’s search for answers and the century-long con that sold corporate freedom as our own.
When my son died, I started asking questions. The answers led me to places I never expected: a dinner party in Vienna, a railroad case nobody remembers, our constitutional rights hijacked as an excuse to look away while children die.
Superhuman is my search for what happened. Not just to my son, but to all of us.
