Starts off great but courtroom coverage is lacking
I enjoyed the early episodes of this podcast, which gave a good background on the people and events involved. I was looking forward to the courtroom coverage, but it has been very minimal and more concerned with the reporter’s experience as a journalist than with what is being said in the trial itself. I was hoping for a podcast similar to Bad Blood about Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos but unfortunately this falls far short of that. Author Michael Lewis appears to have fallen for and remains enchanted with SBF’s entire boy genius schtick. The podcast never gives a sense of why or how SBF took hold of people that way. Maybe Lewis could do an episode reflecting on that.

Wondery’s production value and hosts are always good, but the reporting of this one of left me wanting. The episodes are short and don’t dive too deep. It’s not a terrible binge listen, but you won’t learn anything new if you have even a passing knowledge of this story.
