Almost three weeks ago, as isolation at home tightened its grip on many of us, Netflix released the documentary series  Tiger King. It seemed to capture a binge-ready audience at just the right moment, and it's been burning up social media channels ever since.  Tiger King tells the story of a man who calls himself Joe Exotic, who bred and exhibited big cats and other animals in a sketchy private zoo. Joe is now in prison, convicted of hiring someone to kill an activist named Carole Baskin. She tried to shut down his business and became his nemesis. Show Notes:
