Arroe Collins: Unplugged & Totally Uncut

I’m always asking questions.  The fun begins when you start researching for answers. Such as…   Why has it become the norm to publicly announce you have to pee?  Plus…why are experts suddenly saying A.I. technology is dangerous?                                          I’m Arroe…  I am a daily writer.  A silent wolf.  I stand on the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen study then activate.  I call it The Daily Mess.  A chronological walk through an everyday world.  Yes, it’s my morning writing.  As a receiver of thoughts and ideas, we as people tend to throw it to the side and deal with it later.  When a subject arrives, I dig in.  It’s still keeping a journal!  By doing the research the picture becomes clearer.  This is the Daily Mess…   Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support [https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss].

The series chronicles D'Amore's transformation from victim to relentless crusader as she exposes David Bloom, the notorious and prolific fraudster. Produced by Alex Baskin's 32 Flavors-the creative force behind "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," "The Real Housewives of Orange County," "Vanderpump Rules," and "The Valley," among many others -and AYR Media ("Queen of the Con"; "Bitter Blood" and "Spy High," among many others), "Once Upon a Con" delivers gripping access to D'Amore's dramatic pursuit of justice, featuring never-before-seen footage of her high-stakes confrontation with Bloom that ultimately led to his arrest on multiple felony charges. In 2020, Bloom infiltrated the star-studded world of Hollywood's iconic Villa Carlotta, a prestigious haven for A-list creatives. Masquerading as a philanthropic billionaire with fabricated ties to top executives, Bloom orchestrated an elaborate scheme to defraud D'Amore and her business partners out of tens of thousands of dollars-and other victims out of significantly more. But Bloom didn't anticipate D'Amore's determination to fight back. Refusing to remain a victim, D'Amore launched her own investigation, uncovering decades of deceit that stretched back to Bloom's days as Manhattan's infamous "Wall Street Whiz Kid." The podcast reveals D'Amore's fearless pursuit of the truth, taking listeners step-by-step through the relentless investigation and dogged efforts that ultimately bring Bloom to justice. "'Once Upon a Con' isn't just about what happened to me-it's about exposing the manipulators who prey on trust and showing that even when you feel powerless, you can take the fight to those who think they're untouchable," says D'Amore. "Once Upon a Con" features exclusive interviews with Bloom's victims, including survivors from his earlier multi-million-dollar busts in Manhattan in the 1980s and 1990s, uncovering his long trail of fraud across Hollywood and Manhattan, and delivering shocking revelations about his tactics. With unprecedented access to the investigation, "Once Upon a Con" gives listeners a front-row seat to the dramatic takedown of one of Hollywood's most cunning predators, who now sits in a Los Angeles County prison waiting for trial. Episodes available here:Https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-once-upon-a-con-260747492/ [https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-once-upon-a-con-260747492/]    Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support [https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss].

Inspired by her father Rey's courageous journey from Cuba to America and her brother Rey's childhood musical rivalry, Angie chose her stage name as a tribute to the two men who shaped her dreams. Her musical journey began early, leading to a breakthrough appearance on Telemundo's "La Voz Kids," where she reached the Top 18. This first-generation Cuban-American found her unique voice in country music, influenced by time spent on her grandparents' farm where she discovered the shared values of family, God, and love between her Latin heritage and country music. Now based in Nashville for the past two years, Angie has carved out her own path, performing several nights weekly on Broadway and opening for country stars such as Wynonna Judd, Scotty McCreery and Tanya Tucker, while infusing Latin energy into her country originals.

Legendary Stage, Television and Film Actor, Activist, and Author, George Takei, is Set to Release his Graphic Memoir on June 10, 2025!A new full-color graphic memoir from the team behind George Takei's award-winning bestseller They Called Us Enemy, telling the untold story of George's journey from closeted actor to international gay icon. It Rhymes With Takei offers an unprecedented view into the heart of this beloved star and a celebration of the warp-speed changes he has witnessed in one lifetime.George Takei has shown the world many faces: actor, author, outspoken activist, helmsman of the starship Enterprise, living witness to the internment of Japanese Americans, and king of social media. But until October 27, 2005, there was always one piece missing-one face he did not show the world. There was one very intimate fact about George that he never shared - and it rhymes with Takei.Now, for the first time ever, George shares the full story of his life in the closet, his decision to come out as gay at the age of 68, and the way that moment transformed everything. Following the phenomenal success of his first graphic memoir, They Called Us Enemy, George Takei reunites with the team of Harmony Becker, Steven Scott, and Justin Eisinger for a jaw-dropping new testament. From his earliest childhood crushes and youthful experiments in the rigidly conformist 1950s, to global fame as an actor and the terrible fear of exposure, to the watershed moment of speaking his truth and becoming one of the most high-profile gay men on the planet, It Rhymes with Takei offers a sweeping portrait of one iconic American navigating the tides of LGBTQ+ history.Combining historical context with intimate subjectivity, It Rhymes with Takei shows how the personal and the political have always been intertwined. Its richly emotional words and images depict the terror of entrapment even in gay community spaces, the anguish of speaking up for so many issues while remaining silent on his most personal issue, the grief of losing friends to AIDS, the joy of finding true love with Brad Altman, and the determination to declare that love openly-and legally-before the whole world.Looking back on his astonishing life on both sides of the closet door, George Takei presents a charismatic and candid account of how far America has come.and how precious that progress is.
