American Scandal Wondery
-
- History
Every scandal begins with a lie. But the truth will come out. And then comes the fallout and the outrage.
Scandals have shaped America since its founding. From business and politics to sports and society, we look on aghast as corruption, deceit and ambition bring down heroes and celebrities, politicians and moguls. And when the dust finally settles, we’re left to wonder: how did this happen? Where did they trip up, and who is to blame? From the creators of American History Tellers, Business Wars and Tides of History comes American Scandal, where we take you deep into the heart of America’s dark side to look at what drives someone to break the rules and what happens when they’re caught. Hosted by Lindsay Graham.

Customer Reviews
Brilliant!
Love this show and Lindsay’s narration. The Enron series was my favorite.
Good listen
All these scandals are intriguing and I love listening about all these political/ business scandals. I only wish there was more interview or in sight from witnesses, lawyers, judges, friends etc.
The role playing throughout is ok for the story story but tbh, it’s all speculation and doesn’t need it.
All in all, interesting to have a listen
Riveting
Fascinating content, excellent narration.
