Description

Who didn’t love “Ducky” from the John Hughes classic, Pretty In Pink? Or Charlie Harper’s lovable but uptight brother, Alan from the long-running, mega-hit CBS television series, Two and A Half men? 
Jon Cryer, Emmy-winning actor, screenwriter, director, and producer was looking forward to slowing down a little when his show ended after it’s twelve record-breaking season-run, so he could spend time with his family, pay better attention to politics and catch up on the true crime podcasts that he and his wife, Lisa loved to listen to, together.
But what would you do if, one day, a Tweet you sent to the producer of your favorite podcast, resulted in an offer to join them in the fight against wrongful convictions? Would you take the offer and put yourself out there in a world that might not take a “serious” Jon Cryer seriously? Or would you play it safe and stay in your lane, and leave the crime fighting to the so-called experts?

Titles in the series (100)

Hosted by Laura Cathcart Robbins, a writer and a recovery thriver and survivor, Laura found herself in an all too familiar position. In September 2018, she was the only black woman in the room at Brave Magic, a famed writer’s retreat. After it was over, she wrote about her “only one” experience in The Huffington Post and comments started flooding into her DM. These comments were from people from all races, ethnicities, creeds, and nationalities who had felt “othered”. Laura beautifully interviews a person about their Only One story each episode and addresses as many of those DM’s as possible in the process. In this podcast, you’ll hear raw, vulnerable accounts from people who are, like most of us, just eager to connect. Our hope is that The Only One In The Room will inspire a change of perspective in how we all see and hear each other’s stories. We want you think twice before judging the person standing next to you at a party, in the pick-up line at school or in a crowded subway car. This is a podcast for anyone who has ever felt alone in a room full of people – which is to say, that this podcast is for everyone.
