This is a story about a flawed man, born of privilege, who only lived for himself. It tells of the last day of his newscast; of how his enemies plotted against him until the final battle, and of how his partner LeAnn abandoned him just when he thought he had it all figured out. It ends with a podcast. It begins in the wreckage of KCOM Studios on the night of Deathember 13th, 2021. In Somewhere West of New York City, the faithful still tune in at six o'clock, waiting for the newscast to start... but it never will. The Fakist died two years ago.
The Fakist: One Last Day, a new documentary, starting tonight on WAFM-TV 3.

I listen to this podcast pretty much every morning on my way to work. I LOVE IT!!!!!!
Lots of fun
It really says something when a comedy show can also make me cry on occasion. Congrats Rebecca on your performance. Your death scene in the Christmas episode brought tears to my eyes.
Anti-MLM story was hilarious!
I came here from the Anti-MLM group on Facebook. The Dawnstar story from the most recent episode was awesome! Love how it tied in to the "ad."
