15. Tastes Like The Secret Is Avoiding Sweat Lodges - The Rise And Fall Of James Ray - a podcast by Melissa Morgan

James Ray's self-help enterprise made him a zillionaire after Oprah Winfrey knighted him - however briefly - her favorite Guide to Self-Realization.  All of it came crashing down in 2009 when three people died and many more were permanently injured at one of Ray's "sweat lodges" in the Arizona desert.  Join Melissa as she weaves James Ray's rise to fame and success and ultimate fall to prison and financial ruin into her own experiences with the self-help movement and Ray himself.  Can't-put-down-your-earbuds stuff, and a telling glimpse into the deadly hubris that can come from fame.
