As a long-time foreign correspondent, I've worked in lots of places, but nowhere is important to the world as China.

I'm Jane Perlase, former Beijing Bureau Chief for The New York Times.

On face-off, the U.S. versus China will explore what's critical to this important global relationship.

Trump and Xi Jinping, AI, TikTok, and even Hollywood.

New episodes of Face Off are available now, wherever you get your podcasts.

Hey Freaks, if you love the Great Outdoors, or you're morbidly curious about the creepy history and strange tales that take place there, you really got to check out National Park After Dark. It's the chart topping show that's received over 42 million downloads. This show is hosted by best friends, Danielle, and Cassie. And their relationship is so much fun. It makes the podcast even better.

And the podcast dives into the dark side of nature. Stories of mystery deaths, epic survivals,

animal encounters, tragic histories, and even a little paranormal. But it's not all chills and

thrills. They also share inspiring tales about their passion for protecting our planet's wild places.

If you're ready to lace up those hiking boots or whatever your footwear of choice is,

take a walk down the dark side of the wilderness.

Listen to National Park After Dark, wherever you get your podcasts.

So I think this episode should be called Freak Family Friday because it is an inbox of

oddities, but it's also a hybrid.

We do have some emails and correspondence, but also a couple of stories that have been

requested several times over the past couple of months. Yeah, and I think Freak Family Friday is a good

all-encompassing kind of name. It works. And as we've discussed, we both love alliteration. Yes,

it's somehow satisfying in a weird little way. Dear JJ, I trust you are well. Aw, how polite.

I wanted to reach out with an intriguing, albeit tragic story idea that I believe your audience

would love.

It concerns Frank Lloyd Wright, the legendary architect, and a profound personal tragedy.

Oh, yes.
