Working from home means kissing the daily commute goodbye, which has severely dented my podcast listening time.

Sure, I could go for a run and listen, but that also requires changing out of my pyjamas and getting off the couch.

Seth still manages to get his binge on, and he’s currently raving about Billionaire Boys Club.

The story may ring a bell, as it was also turned into a 2018 movie of the same name, starring Kevin Spacey, Ansel Elgort, and Taron Egerton.

That film received very mixed reviews, but let’s stick with the podcast, and this from the download page:

In 1980s Los Angeles, a group of prep school boys  got together to make investments together, get rich quick, and live large. But headed by a handsome and charismatic leader named Joe Hunt, the members of the self-proclaimed “Billionaire Boys Club” get sucked deeper into twisted schemes of kidnapping, torture, and revenge.

The boys must stick together, or risk prison – or worse. From the makers of The Wonderland Murders, Young Charlie, and The Dating Game Killer, this six-part series is co-hosted by Tracy Pattin and Emmy-nominated actor Timothy Olyphant.

In 2020, even podcasts get trailers:

In case you require further inspiration, consider this gushing praise from E! News Online:

Even Hollywood and Crime host Tracy Pattin—whose latest podcast takes on the twisted ’80s-era tale of money, lies, manipulation and cold-blooded murder—summed it all up at first with a simple “wow.”

…though it’s been the subject of books and an Emmy-nominated miniseries, as well as inspired plenty of TV and film plots, it has been one of those insanely juicy stories that somehow slipped through the cracks of the true crime canon that always seems to be in rotation decades after the events in question occurred…

The whole podcast is currently available in full to Wondery Plus subscribers, but for everyone else, you can subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.

If you enjoyed watching the unravelling of Patrick Bateman, in American Psycho, consider this the real-life version.
