American Scandal
Audible Original
Every scandal begins with a lie. But the truth will come out. And then comes the fallout and the outrage. Scandals have shaped America since its founding. From business and politics to sports and society, we look on aghast as corruption, deceit and ambition bring down heroes and celebrities, politicians and moguls. And when the dust finally settles, we’re left to wonder: how did this happen?…

What HN said
- ironmagmaAug 2022For anyone interested in this topic, I recommend season 41 of the podcast American Scandal, which depicts the DuPont cover-up of C8 dumping and how it was discovered. Great narration.

There is also a less dramatic version in book form, called Exposure by Robert Bilott, the attorney who prosecuted DuPont.
- kyleblarsonJan 2022I hadn't followed Theranos much until the trial but listened to the American Scandal podcast about it. I find the narration to be a bit cheesy but it was pretty informative for just a few hours of listening while exercising: https://podcasts.apple.com/my/podcast/theranos-startup/id143...
- blowfish721May 2023There’s a good podcast (American Scandals) covering that. https://podcasts.apple.com/se/podcast/american-scandal/id143...
