Bloomberg News, Kaleidoscope, and iHeartPodcasts announced the launch of Levittown, a new six-part podcast series investigating the rise of deepfake pornography online, debuting on March 21.
Levittown, hosted by Bloomberg News reporters Olivia Carville and Margi Murphy, takes listeners to a New York suburb as dozens of young women discover that innocent pictures they shared with high-school classmates on social media have been manipulated into pornography and posted online. After being told by police and others there's nothing much that can be done, they set out to catch whoever did this and unwittingly join forces with a global band of investigators and hackers to combat the AI-fueled rise of deepfakes.
Building on reporting for their Bloomberg Businessweek cover story, Carville and Murphy range from the suburbs of New York to New Zealand, hearing from victims of deepfake porn, investigators who are seeking a legal foothold to stop it, and the online vigilantes who have stepped in to try to shut down the websites.
The first episode will debut March 21 with subsequent episodes available on March 22, 23, 28, 29, and 30. The podcast will also be featured on Bloomberg's flagship Big Take Podcast, which takes listeners through the best business, finance and economic stories from across the Bloomberg newsroom. Levittown is a co-production of Bloomberg News, Kaleidoscope and iHeartPodcasts.
