Titled The Dropout, the podcast quickly became a major hit; all seven episodes are now available on iTunes and ABC Radio. It's hosted by ABC News' chief business, technology, and economics correspondent Rebecca Jarvis and as listeners well know, it took Jarvis and her team almost three years of investigating to complete the pod's seven episodes, which span Holmes' childhood to her status in 2019 — charged with massive fraud, in dept to investors, and awaiting trial and an eventual verdict.
