The anatomy of a scandal: Why the Epstein files don't just fade away
About this episode
This episode explores why some scandals, like the Jeffrey Epstein case, persist over time while others fade quickly.
Some scandals flare up, peak, and vanish. Others come back for years. In this episode of UnSpun , I trace the difference. Why was the Access Hollywood episode a brief burst, while h the Jeffrey Epstein case a story keeps returning in cycles, fed by court filings, testimony, and periodic document releases. Join me as I break down the structural forces that determine whether a scandal sticks. Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
