Transcribe →Personal Assistant Sentenced in Perry Death
1w ago00:01:55Tap to summarizeKenneth Iwamasa, Matthew Perry’s former personal assistant, has been sentenced to three years and five months in federal prison for conspiring to distribute ketamine, which directly led to Perry’s death in October 2023. Prosecutors revealed Iwamasa injected Perry with over 25 doses in the days before his death, including multiple shots on the day he passed. Perry’s mother expressed profound grief and betrayal, calling Iwamasa a man without conscience who betrayed her son’s trust. Iwamasa’s defense argued he was merely following orders and trapped in an abusive power dynamic, unable to refuse. This marks the final sentencing in the case, with other defendants—including a doctor and the “Ketamine Queen”—already convicted. The medical examiner confirmed ketamine’s acute effects caused Perry’s death, alongside drowning and heart disease. The case exposes a dangerous illegal ketamine distribution network and seeks justice for the beloved actor’s tragic end. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

Transcribe →Route 66 Speaks: A Century of Dreams
1w ago00:01:57Tap to summarizeA century after its birth, Route 66 gets a voice of its own in Crystal Sershen’s poetic, self-published memoir “Dust & Dreams,” where the Mother Road narrates its journey across America, reflecting on the dreams, struggles, and landscapes it’s witnessed. Inspired by the highway’s original mission to unite a divided nation, Sershen envisioned the road as a living storyteller, personifying towns as “Earth Children” and weaving in scenic detours and tributes to roadside icons. Illustrated by Frank Strasser and completed in time for the centennial, the book captures wanderlust, resilience, and the sacredness of motion — themes Sershen embodies as she prepares to walk the entire route from Chicago to Santa Monica, where the road’s final message is simple: it doesn’t end journeys — it delivers them to the water’s edge.

Transcribe →Alfonsi Leaves 60 Minutes Amid Editorial Clash
1w ago00:01:56Tap to summarizeSharyn Alfonsi, veteran CBS News correspondent and longtime 60 Minutes anchor, is exiting after nearly two decades — her departure sparked by a fiery editorial clash over a deported migrants story. The segment, pulled at the last minute by editor-in-chief Bari Weiss amid pressure for an administration response, became a flashpoint: Alfonsi called the decision politically motivated, insisting the report was factually sound. Though it aired later unchanged, the incident signaled deeper tensions, with Alfonsi believing her refusal to soften the truth triggered her exit — and possibly others’. Despite internal upheaval, “60 Minutes” continues to draw record viewership, proving its enduring power — even as its leadership reshapes.
