About this listen

 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? Where did they trip up, and who is to blame? From the creators of American History Tellers, Business Wars and Tides of History comes American Scandal, where we take you deep into the heart of America’s dark side to look at what drives someone to break the rules and what happens when they’re caught. Hosted by Lindsay Graham.©2018 Wondery (P)2018 Wondery Social Sciences World

I loved this audiobook but I was a bit disappointed that my favorite narrator only read the epilogue

Good

As someone with ADHD, I have found all Lindsay Graham podcasts on Wondery to be amazingly written, read, and acted to keep one’s attention and allow one to absorb and understand all important relevant information. I was looking to re-listen to older seasons on my podcast app, but they had put their older episodes behind a paywall, so I was really happy to find them all available here where I am already paying for a service! With all the turmoil in the US government (I’m Canadian), I was looking to refresh my memory on how their previous terrible actions were handled and exposed to align myself with the reality of government power and how much bravery, sacrifice, fear, and chess-game level maneuvering it takes to whistle blow and/or get the government to be transparent about wrong doing.

One of my favourite go-to podcasts!
