What do washed-up nineties sitcom stars, corrupt ivy league officials and bratty Instagram influencers have in common?... The biggest college admissions scandal of the century. Unless you have been hiding under a rock over the past few years, you’d know that the likes of actresses Lori Loughin, of former Full House fame and Felicity Huffman, former Desperate Housewives star; have been entangled in what FBI call Operation Varsity Blues. Engineered by William ‘Rick’ Singer, wealthy parents were lured into his scheme by promising to get their children admitted to marquee named colleges via the “side door”.
Tune in this week as Ollie introduces James to the world of white-collar corruption, with Gangster Capitalism. Produced by C13Originals and hosted by documentary filmmaker Andrew Jenks, this Peabody and Webby nominated Podcast season shines a light on a broken system and how men like Singer were so adept at exploiting its weaknesses.
This season features original interviews with college admission experts, Reporters, students and even a confrontational encounter with Singer himself. Listen to how it all unfolded this week on My Friend Has Never Listened To A Podcast.
