New York City, NY (KCOM Studios) July 15th, 2018 – A new episode of scripted comedy podcast The Fakist takes aim at the multi-level marketing companies that we’ve all learned to hate on Facebook. Those annoyances are personified in Debra Dawnstar, a “business mommy” and partner for Dawnstar Escential Scent sprays. What starts as an advertisement for her “products” becomes an investigative report on her use of the sprays on her son’s injuries.

Executive Producer Tim Delroy says, “We wanted to tell the whole story of the poor people who get suckered in by these companies. While it’s pretty clear what side The Fakist is coming down on, we tried not to mock people. We want to explore the real dangers of these companies, both to their partners and the people around them.”

The health-centric episode, appropriately titled What The Health? Also features Brian Brushwood (National Geographic’s Hacking The System, Scam School, The Modern Rogue) as Consumer Affairs reporter Martin Zendler, who reports on killer bees at a local Thai restaurant.
