Podcast Description:

85,000 is a high-impact investigative podcast that revisits one of the most misunderstood corporate collapses in modern history—the fall of Arthur Andersen during the Enron scandal. Through a gripping 9-episode series, the show unpacks how a global firm once trusted at the highest levels was dismantled, and how its downfall affected 85,000 employees across 84 countries.

Featuring exclusive, never-before-heard interviews with key figures at the center of the case, including lead audit partner David Duncan, renowned attorney Rusty Hardin, and policymakers behind the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, this podcast challenges the narrative the world has accepted for over two decades.

More than a story about accounting or corporate failure, 85,000 is about justice, legacy, and the human cost of decisions made at the highest levels. It’s a deep dive into truth, accountability, and the lasting impact of a case that still echoes today.
