Coming Soon: The Rise and Fall of Ozy Media

When Eugene S. Robinson became the very first employee at Silicon Valley startup Ozy Media, he believed charismatic founder Carlos Watson had the solution for a fading news industry. How could Eugene have guessed he would spend the next decade being terrorized by his boss? That is, until Carlos was forced to shut Ozy down amid an investigation brought on by an attempt to defraud Goldman Sachs for $40M...with a voice changer. And that was just the beginning of a story that features a Jekyll-and-Hyde founder, celebrities, presidents, two NBA owners, a rockstar's famous wife, and even Oprah. "FreeFall Season 1: The Rise and Fall of Ozy Media" isn't just about the bottom falling out of a fake company. It's about the real people who propped up one man's dream, while they watched the top blow off of it. As Eugene puts it: "This isn't another Silicon Valley story. This isn't another scam story. This is a horror story." — FreeFall is a narrative nonfiction podcast about corporate mischief. Coming soon, season 1 covers the bombastic story of Ozy Media and its enigmatic CEO.
