À propos de ce contenu audio

America loves a hero. And America loves to watch one fall. From the boardroom to the ballot box, the same story plays out — ambition curdles into deception, power invites corruption, and eventually, the truth finds a way out. American Scandal is the story of our dark side. How it happens. Why it keeps happening. Hosted by Dr. Nathan Pali.
