Episode 3: FYRE FEST


Listen Later

April 2017. An island. A music festival. A shitshow.
Join host Oriana Schwindt and cohosts Aly Semigran, and Sarah Hayden as they discuss how Billy McFarland went from the "Steve Jobs of Millennial Marketing" to serving six years for fraud. (This episode was actually recorded before he was sentenced to six years of prison time, but oh well.)
