Theranos / The Dropout: NOstalgic Happy Hour
Episode description
Katie and Bridget get on some soapboxes as they re-watch the 2022 mini series: The Dropout! It's a terrifyingly TRUE story about the rise and fall of the company Theranos, created by Elizabeth Holmes, who (spoiler alert!): is off to jail for 11 years. Hear all about how Amanda Seyfried absolutely deserved her Emmy win for this role, how Sunny was a scary predator and this all could have been avoided with more chaperones, and how Erika Cheung deserves a Nobel Peace Prize or something for saving us all from more years of this nonsense! This recent story has events currently in development as Elizabeth Holmes just received her sentence and the trial for Sunny Balwani has still yet to occur - send us your bets on how long you think he'll be sentenced for! Released in March 2022, this mini series was based off of the podcast of the same name, hosted by Rebecca Jarvis.
