Today we welcome Paul Pringle, an investigative reporter for the Los Angeles Times and the mind behind the groundbreaking podcast 'Fallen Angels.' Paul’s relentless pursuit of truth led to the explosive uncovering of the scandal involving Carmen Puliafito, the former dean of the USC medical school, whose secret life of drugs and debauchery was hidden by layers of power and privilege. This story not only challenges the glitzy facade of Los Angeles but also exposes the deep-rooted corruption within some of its most revered institutions (i.e: USC and LA Times). Paul’s book Bad City was a prelude to the podcast, both are interesting for those fascinated by investigative journalism.
