In 2014, Elizabeth Holmes was the subject of a flattering Fortune cover story that detailed her “remarkable” blood-test start-up Theranos. Once positioned to be “the next Steve Jobs,” she’s now the subject of a criminal investigation. The trial, delayed long enough that Holmes got married and had a child, is finally in court. Three Uncanny Four’s new podcast Bad Blood focuses on the decade of deceit that might land Holmes in the slammer. While the host, journalist John Carreyrou, offers 15-minute bonus episodes about the trial, the highlight of the season is a 49-minute look at how, in 2014, Holmes tried but failed to make her bunk blood tests the go-to Ebola-detecting device. — J.D.
