Listen Later

Guest: Kevin Donovan, Chief Investigative Reporter

Reality television is a genre that has taken over the airwaves with all kinds of dating series and extreme competitions. Some find the genre shallow. But in one recent attempt, a producer gathered altruistic entrepreneurs to tackle some of the world’s biggest problems, like racism and poverty. However, it turns out the television show had a problem with reality. It didn’t really exist as discussed, leaving many contestants feeling confused and swindled. The Star’s Kevin Donovan joins to discuss his latest investigation, which looked at “4 Days To Save The World,” a reality series aimed at changing the world.

This episode was produced by Alexis Green, Matthew Hearn and Raju Mudhar.
