Josh Gondelman talks with Caller Emma about the three-hour Elizabeth Holmes documentary that broke her brain, Nathan Fielder's exquisitely uncomfortable genius, and whether anyone can truly know a person who keeps remaking herself.

Elizabeth Holmes 101, Told by a True Crime Devotee: Caller Emma walks Josh through the Theranos saga for anyone who missed it, from the one-drop blood test promise to the FedEx'd samples that gave the whole scheme away.
Two Famous Fraud Ladies, One Prison Friendship: The conversation turns to an unlikely real-life friendship between RHOSLC star Jen Shah and Elizabeth Holmes, and then to the real question haunting Emma: whether Holmes actually believes the story she's telling about herself?
