October 02, 2018 American Scandal From Wondry
Since the founding of the United States, in every generation, in every field of business, politics, sports and society, we’ve watched in shock as corruption, deceit and desire bring down heroes, titans and those we thought we could trust.

In the aftermath, we’re left with too many questions, how did this happen? Who is to blame?

American Scandal, a new podcast from Wondery, will answer these questions. They tell the stories of America’s biggest scandals, the who, how and why, to discover what happened, how they changed our country - and what lessons we can learn.

I encourage you to subscribe to American Scandal. The first story is a look inside America’s pastime - Baseball - and scandal that changed the way we view our favorite athletes. It’s riveting. And while you’re listening, subscribe to American Scandal on Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen to podcasts. Help spread the word because these are stories we need hear.

June 24, 2018 Episode 45: A Tale of Two Gregories Part 1, with Steve Guerra
This episode is about Gregory. Not that Gregory, the other one. Well, ok, there were sixteen Gregories. At least, sixteen that were popes. Though I guess there were also two anti-popes. You know what? Stop being a pedant and just listen.
