Case Study
Slow Burn - Epix Network
Slow Burn is a six-episode docuseries based on the hit podcast of the same name. Expanding on the podcast’s first season, Leon Neyfakh will look back on the Watergate crisis, excavating the strange subplots and forgotten characters involved in the downfall of a president — and flashing back to politically tumultuous times not so far removed from today. Slow Burn, winner of Best Podcast at the first iHeartRadio Podcast Awards, is produced by Slate for the Epix network.
