Gangster Capitalism
Raloway·7 episodes
The C13Originals Peabody nominated series is back for Season Three: Jerry Falwell Jr. and Liberty University. A sex scandal rocks one of the world’s largest Christian universities, and the man at the center of it. But that scandal is just the beginning. The award-winning Gangster Capitalism team spoke with more than 80 former and current Liberty students, faculty, staff, high-ranking administrators, and those with intimate knowledge of Falwell Jr. What emerges is the inside story of how the university, and the family who founded it, have been rocked by power, greed, hypocrisy, and of course money.
Why listen
Gangster Capitalism is a polished investigative documentary about powerful institutions where money, influence, and public image collide. Each season follows one scandal through reporting, interviews, and archival detail, from Liberty University and Jerry Falwell Jr. to the NRA and other high-profile systems of power. It is a strong fit for listeners who like serialized journalism about corruption, hypocrisy, and the people affected when institutions protect themselves.
