An American Scandoval

In this three-part true-crime style podcast, Jodi Walker unpacks one of the biggest pop culture moments of 2023: Scandoval. A reality TV scandal so unbelievable that it dominated the zeitgeist, revived a dying franchise with an unexpected jolt to the Bravo ecosystem, and generated hundreds of conspiracy theories, thousands of podcast episodes, and millions of dollars in revenue for the very people it also harmed. It’s the story of an affair carried out under the noses of not just a deeply strange and incestuous friend group, but also a notoriously ravenous reality TV fan base, made all the more hungry by the rare opportunity to play detective in real time.
