On her 2019 podcast The Dropout, Rebecca Jarvis of ABC News told the story of how Elizabeth Holmes went from the C.E.O. of the blood-test start-up Theranos, which had positioned her to be “the next Steve Jobs” and promised to fund her private-jet habit, to the subject of a criminal investigation. Now that the pandemic-delayed trial is finally in court, The Dropout is back for Season Two. Jarvis covers Holmes’s trial in real time—from the jury selection to how her pre-trial escapades (getting married, having a baby, attending Burning Man) could figure into the defense. — J.D.
