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.

Customer Reviews
Excellent Work
I just binge listened to seasons 1-3. Holy cow. This is a well made series. I connected with season 1 on a personal level due to my indoctrination by school counselors into believing that I wouldn’t amount to anything without a college degree. It ended up being a waste of time and money. Seasons 2-3 are very informative and they explain in depth a piece of our current socio-political climate in a way that I only had partial knowledge of. Keep up the good work. The Jane Doe’s deserve justice. I hope this series continues.
First season
Well done , the first season is by far the best , very interesting , well researched . Season 2 and 3 just seem like partisan hit jobs against Conservative ideals . Why don’t you investigate the Clinton Foundation or BLM money donations ? 4 stars for season one
Great investigative work!
All the team did a great job at researching, fact checking and interviewing people. I loved how this ruffled conservative feathers; to which I say: if you don’t like what’s said, don’t provide material for it. Please continue the good job regardless of political inclination, religion or race. What’s wrong is wrong and must be denounced and judged to the full extent of the applicable law.
I’d just point out that the editing wasn’t the best; I don’t know if it’s the platform or if the episodes were uploaded and then replaced. There are some of them where the editing job wasn’t good at all, repeating audio that was already included and some cuts weren’t seamlessly done. Also, the volume of audio can improve, the audio recording of the host voice wasn’t good.
