Think corruption doesn’t impact your daily life? Think again.

In the U.S., it has led to higher medical bills, rising energy prices, lower wages, and weaker consumer protections for millions of Americans. In other words, it’s the theft of democracy itself.

Now, you can discover the truth on Master Plan, a new podcast from The Lever launching on August 27. Hosted by David Sirota (former speechwriter for Bernie Sanders and Oscar-nominated co-writer of Don’t Look Up), this show exposes the deliberate scheme to legalize corruption in the U.S., allowing the wealthy to buy policies that benefit themselves.

Now, The Lever has unearthed never-before-reported documents proving this 50-year plot was a coordinated effort by wealthy individuals. Over the course of 10 episodes, the series follows the historic thread from Watergate in the ’70s through Citizens United and the current Supreme Court scandals. It’s a tale of famous villains you already know like President Richard Nixon, Senator Mitch McConnell and Fox News boss Roger Ailes, plus operatives and oligarchs you’ve never heard of.

The trailer for Master Plan is available now with the first two episodes following on August 27. Listen wherever you get your podcasts.
