Journalism genius and podcast favorite Sam Sanders (Vibe Check, The Sam Sanders Show on KCRW) joins Laci to take down the latest scam hitting the ski slopes. While they may not agree on taking a spin on the ski lift, they’re both all in for cozying up with drinks by the fire and rocking those snow bunny fits. Today’s scheme has it all—Jay Peak, a snowy retreat just 20 minutes from Vermont; Green Cards; mountain makeovers; a man with chilling, soul-piercing eyes; Resorts World; and a sprawling biotech facility set to produce advanced medical devices from dialysis machines to artificial organs. How’s that? Stay schemin'!
Check out The Sam Sanders Show on KCRW. Listen to Sam Sings! In honor of Grammy weekend with Billie Eilish’s vocal coach Doug Peck.
