Podcast Rebellion: The guy who exposed Fyre Fest went to Ole Miss

Fellow Ole Miss alum and financier Calvin Wells joins the show to give us a peek behind the curtain of one of the most failed events of our time: Fyre Festival. It was supposed to be an immersive experience put on by tech entrepreneur Billy McFarland and rapper Ja Rule, that was going to win the music festival world over and bring people back year-after-year for top-flight musical acts, gourmet food, and the party of a lifetime.

And then it didn’t even happen.

Wells is here to give us the story and how he stumbled upon this glorious shit show and how he tried to warn people that it was a hoax and was in no way ever, ever going to happen.
