Welcome to a brand new podcast hosted by me, Zach Fortier! A mix of pop culture, politics, and poppin’ off, “Larger Than Life” is how I’m speaking my mind and letting the kids know what’s good. Good vibes only! Get into it!
As summer ends and school begins again, I get into the absolute mess that was Summer 2020. Pandemic and all, I'm so happy that I took time this summer to create Larger Than Life, which has become one of my personal favourite projects that I've done. Thank you so much to all the listeners for such a fun ride. See you soon for Season 2!

Wayfairgate
In the year since the arrest and death of billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, there has been a general reinvigoration of the public's interest in the secret dirty dealings of the wealthiest class. Epstein's associate Gislaine Maxwell was recently arrested when images of her next to dozens of celebrities and socialites resurfaced, one of them being the CEO of Wayfair. This sparked a renewal of a conspiracy theory that the company is involved in child sex trafficking, and I'll be diving deep into that topic today. Ew. Jesus. Gross.
