Headlong: Missing Richard Simmons
On February 15, 2014, fitness guru Richard Simmons disappeared. He stopped teaching his regular exercise class at Slimmons, cut off his closest friends, and removed himself from the public eye after decades as one of the most accessible celebrities in the world. Nobody has heard from him - and no one knows why he left. Filmmaker Dan Taberski was a Slimmons regular and a friend of Richard’s. Missing Richard Simmons is Dan’s search for Richard - and the deeper he digs, the stranger it gets. Listen to the podcast The New York Times calls "a cultural phenomenon." Headlong is Dan Taberski’s documentary podcast that explores the lives of overlooked people, moments and events in our culture. Season 2 is Surviving Y2K. Season 3 is Running From COPS.

I was totally invested. I’ll just say. The one who helps 10,000 people today is a hero. No matter if they never help again tomorrow. That said: It is hard to really know people like Richard. They truly care and see people. For most of us that is so rare that we feel it must be love. The only thing is no one truly saw him in return, only the love was seen and it led to an imbalance. Nobody’s fault. But the weight of 10000 feathers will still crush you. Soooo Bye, Girl Bye Richard Simmons! You’re a wonder!
