The Other True Crime with Vicky Ward (ft. Tim Rohan)
Welcoming Vicky Ward to The Pod Club!
Some of the most compelling recent podcasts have taken a deep dive into ongoing trials to take us behind the story. In this week’s episode, host Jo Piazza sits down with Ward, the longtime Vanity Fair investigative reporter and narrator of Chasing Ghislaine to discuss how her podcast was the perfect companion to coverage of the Ghislaine Maxwell trial. On a 19-year quest to understand Jeffrey Epstein’s wealth, influence, and “friendship” with Ghislaine Maxwell, Ward shares her first-hand interactions with the duo and hundreds of hours of interviews. We also spoke to journalist Tim Rohan about his seven-part series on Oscar Pistorius, False Idols. False Idol takes us back to 2013, back to Valentine's Day when the South African Paralympian Pistorius murdered his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp. Rohan has constructed an intricate narrative that reminds us of the dangers of building men into gods and idols and the myriad ways they inevitably disappoint us.
