This week, a new blockbuster Elizabeth Holmes documentary has prompted an expert panel discussion on the Theranos founder's lasting impact on the tech industry. Hosted by Max Read, the "Hard Fork" episode features John Carreyrou, the investigative journalist whose book "Bad Blood" exposed the massive fraud at the heart of Theranos. Joining the conversation are tech reporter Erin Griffith, who extensively covered Holmes's trail, and Caitlin Roper, the New York Times executive producer who wrote the first-ever magazine piece about Holmes for Wired back in 2013.
Together, the panelists unpack what Holmes means to the tech world today and why the public remains captivated by her story. The episode concludes with a rundown of other major tech news developments from the week. Listeners can subscribe to "Hard Fork" on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other platforms to access the full discussion and explore more New York Times podcasts covering politics, pop culture, and technology.
