The Run 4 Ben Podcast
The Run 4 Ben Podcast follows Jamen Spitzer and filmmaker Mike Piccirillo as they share the story behind their docu-series inspired by Jamen’s father, Ben, and his fight with Parkinson’s disease. What began with Jamen training for a marathon to raise awareness grew into an ongoing journey of endurance, storytelling, and purpose. Through honest conversations, behind-the-scenes reflections, and a bit of humor, the series explores how movement—both physical and emotional—keeps us connected and moving forward.

Former Bachelor Clayton Echard’s casual one-night fling turned into a paternity nightmare. When the news broke about the scandal, no one believed Clayton at first. He was a reality TV star, and an unpopular one at that. Clayton found himself trying to prove the truth, while trapped in a web of lies, manipulation, and threats. He would soon discover he was not the only one. At its core, this is a story about who you believe and why. It’s an epic battle that would take a group of strangers, citizen sleuths from across the world, to crack the case and finally hold someone accountable. New episodes of Love Trapped are released every Thursday, starting February 26th, 2026.
