Bethany McLean launches new podcast

Bethany McLean

Noted business journalist and author Bethany McLean launched a new podcast that will explore the ins and outs of business journalism.

In “Making a Killing,” which is part of the subscription-based service Luminary, McLean sits down with reporters who cover companies with both clout and scandal such as Juul, Theranos, and Boeing.

The first episode aired earlier this week. In it, McLean interviewed author Seth Godin (This Is Marketing) on Amazon’s omnipotence.

McLean made her name in journalism by questioning and eventually uncovering the Enron scandal. She later co-authored the book “The Smartest Guys in the Room: The Amazing Rise and Scandalous Fall of Enron.”
