The C13Originals Peabody nominated series is back for Season Three: Jerry Falwell Jr. and Liberty University. A sex scandal rocks one of the world’s largest Christian universities, and the man at the center of it. But that scandal is just the beginning. The award-winning Gangster Capitalism team spoke with more than 80 former and current Liberty students, faculty, staff, high-ranking administrators, and those with intimate knowledge of Falwell Jr. What emerges is the inside story of how the university, and the family who founded it, have been rocked by power, greed, hypocrisy, and of course money.

This podcast and the investigative journalism definitely makes you think.
Well done.
Incredible investigative reporting
The in depth factual reporting on the Gangster Capitalism podcast is among the best ‘journalism’ out there! The Jerry Falwell series was nothing short of incredible investigative reporting with dogged intent. The way they supported and helped the victims thru the emotional turmoil of coming forward was absolutely the best of truth and empathy.
