We weten nu dat Jeffrey Epstein een seksuele roofdier was. Hij werd ook beschuldigd van fraude, verduistering, dwang en meer. Maar het grootste deel van zijn leven bleef hij een mysterie voor het publiek en voor veel van de mensen die hem kenden. In deze zesdelige serie onthullen we de lagen van Epstein’s leven en brengen we zijn financiële en seksuele misdaden in kaart, evenals zijn netwerk van handlangers, met originele reportages en interviews. Vanuit een bescheiden achtergrond vergaarde Epstein aanzienlijke rijkdom, waarmee hij seks, sociale status, stilte en zelfs gerechtigheid kocht—totdat geld niet meer genoeg was.
We now know that Jeffrey Epstein was a sexual predator. He was also accused of fraud, embezzlement, coercion and more. But for most of his life, he was a mystery to the public, and to many of the people who knew him. In this six part series, we peel back the layers of Epstein’s life to detail his financial and sexual crimes, and his network of enablers, with original reporting and interviews. From humble beginnings, Epstein came to amass significant wealth which he used to buy sex, social status, silence, even justice —until money wasn’t enough. From Wondery (“Dirty John”, “The Shrink Next Door”), and hosted by Lindsay Graham (“American Scandal”).

At a time when we’re debating where policing is going, we’re going to tell you where the police came from. Guided by Peabody award-winning host Chenjerai Kumanyika, Empire City will provide the first accessible narrative history of the American police and its place in popular culture. Who are the police? And why were police departments created in the first place? To find answers, we’re going to tell the origin story of the largest police force in the world: The NYPD. We begin in the late 1800’s at a moment when the entire police force was on trial. It’s the biggest corruption scandal in the history of the NYPD, and it all plays out like a high stakes courtroom drama. What follows is the action-packed account of how the NYPD got to this point and what happened next. It involves Black abolitionists fighting slave patrols in the courts of Gotham; two rival police forces duking it out for power at City Hall; the origins of the true crime genre; and how the NYPD spread their tactics worldwide.
