That’s what co-hosts Scott & Forrest, and their producer Tess Pfeifle do at Astonishing Legends. Over 100 million downloads and hundreds of thousands of listeners have shown that exploring and embracing the wonders of our world can be not only enlightening but exciting.  Welcome to Astonishing Legends!

Escándalo Mexicano

¿Por qué quienes apuntan a las estrellas muchas veces terminan incendiados por la infamia? México ha sido forjado por el ascenso y la espectacular caída de los poderosos. En las habitaciones más oscuras, en cuartos llenos de mentiras, se tramaron maniobras que salieron terriblemente mal.

El periodista Carlos Puig nos presenta Escándalo Mexicano, una exploración de las historias más sórdidas de la política, la farándula, los negocios, la cultura y el deporte del México contemporáneo. En cada capítulo desentrañamos a sus protagonistas, torvos personajes con sueños y ambiciones tan grandes que no hay norma, ley o sentido de la vergüenza o del honor capaz de contenerlos.
