During season one, Jenks and actors read portions of the FBI affidavit, including transcripts of phone calls between Rick Singer and his clients involved in the college admissions scandal.[6] Levitt stated that the goal of the podcast was to shed light on the larger societal problem that the admissions scandal reflected.[7] In September 2019, the season one was optioned as a television project with Entertainment 360, with the script written by Margaret Nagle.[8]
