Description

An unconscious young woman in a room full of drugs: that’s the scene at the Hotel Constance in Pasadena, California. But when the hotel manager tries to call 911, the woman’s much older companion tells him that won’t be necessary – he’s a doctor. The manager makes the call anyway. And yet, when the police and paramedics arrive, this so-called doctor simply…walks away. And then the hotel manager learns who this man is: his name is Carmen Puliafito, and he’s the dean of the medical school at the University of Southern California (USC).See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Fallen Angels is a journalistic thriller — Chinatown meets Spotlight — one that takes us into the shadows of sunny LA. Over 10 thirty-minute episodes, we go deeper and deeper into the intermingled world of power and privilege. LA Times investigative reporter Paul Pringle is our host – but he doesn’t simply narrate this story. Like a classic LA Noir, as Paul and his team of reporting colleagues—who joined forces in secret from their bosses—investigate the story, they meet obstacles and stonewalling at every turn: from USC,  from law enforcement, and more troubling still, from their own organization.
