Sarah Ganim was a 24 year-old cub reporter when her coverage of the Penn State scandal "earned" her a Pulitzer Prize. Zig has demonstrated throughout our series how prosecutors consistently leaked misinformation to the public using Ganim as their vessel. We've also chronicled how Ganim's career stalled after after winning the Pulitzer.

On Novermber 3, 2021 we learned that Ganim was back, back with a podcast entitled The Mayor Of Maple Ave. The podcast was promoted as the story of the first Sandusky "victim" to die. Shawn Sinisi was a Second Mile participant and he died of an opioid overdose in 2018-these are the only facts that Ganim and he production partners have gotten right. The rest of their story is just another fraudulent effort at extorting money out of Penn State.

The podcast was supposed to premier in December and as we publish this episode on January 3 the podcast has yet to launch. Zig and Liz come armed with the receipts to explain why they believe things are "delayed" and to debunk this latest scam altogether.
