Ana and Alex are back to pick up the Theranos thread. In this episode we're going to chat about how Elizabeth Holmes stole Apple's swag, staff, and style to legitimize Theranos, how she cost her local grocer 350 million dollars, and how the arrival of one man from the Wall Street Journal put her "wellness play" into end game.

Also remember Panasonic Shockwaves? Zoolander? Ford Aerostars? All that and more this week on C&G!

When Elizabeth Holmes' childhood neighbour discovers she's playing in his sandbox, a brutal law suit ensues with tragic consequences. Ana and Alex are back to discuss how one devastating event in the story of Theranos was a microcosm of everything that was wrong Holmes' business practices and the company she ran.

Also somewhere in there is a discussion of Boomers on twitter, The Weeknd's half time show, and a huge shout out to our fans in Dallas and Brooklyn.

Imagine a world where you woke up, checked your phone, made a coffee, and ran a blood test to scan yourself for major diseases as part of your morning ritual. No more doctor's requisitions, no more lab fees, and no more needles. Now imagine that a 19-year-old billionaire in Silicon Valley was going to make this dream a reality.

It sounded too good to be true, because it was. But in its hayday, Elizabeth Holmes' billion dollar company Theranos sent shockwaves across the industry that reached the offices of some of the United States most revered servicemen, statesmen, and visionaries. Then it all came tumbling down.

Join Ana and Alex as they explore the rise and fall of Elizabeth Holmes and her bad blood company Theranos.

You already know the story. Christmas Day, 1996, JonBenet Ramsey was found dead in her home, and 25 years later her savage assailant has yet to be brought to justice.

Alex and Ana are looking back at the case following the release of "The Killing of JonBenét: The Final Suspects" available on spotify. We're talking about conflicting narratives of the Ramsey family, the spectral figure of a stranger in the home, and of course, pineapples.

A defence statement that was truly indefensible. Join Ana and Alex as they deconstruct an unusual defence ploy (that backfired spectacularly) and reconstruct the night Reeva Steenkamp was tragically shot by Oscar Pistorius.

Inglorious. Notorious. The one, the only Oscar Pistorius.

A champion who broke barriers as easily as he broke records. You couldn't talk about athletics in 2012 without talking about The Bladerunner, Oscar Pistorius. Then on the eve of Valentine's Day, 2013, he pulled out a 9mm and fired four shots, killing his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.

The trial that followed was as divisive as it was heartbreaking. Ana and Alex revisit that fateful night, but first lets meet the family...
