From businessmen to politicians at the highest levels, Epstein broke bread with them all. Yet for years the Legacy media and the rest of high society looked the other way and ignored his behavior as multiple women came forward with allegations of abuse. Even after he was convicted and subsequently received a sweetheart deal those same so called elites welcomed him back with open arms. Now after his death and the arrest of Maxwell, the real story is starting to come together and the curtain has begun to be drawn back and what it has revealed is truly disturbing. From Princes to Ex Presidents, the cast of scoundrels in this play spans continents and political affiliations leaving us with a transcontinental criminal conspiracy possibly unlike any we have ever seen before. In this podcast we will explore all of the levels of Jeffrey Epstein and his criminal enterprise. From his most trusted assistants to obscure associates, we will leave no stone unturned as we swim through the muck searching for clarity and answers to some of the most pressing questio…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-25T16:18:16.653536+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles-4089394"},"episode":{"title":"Mega Edition:  The Interview That Ended Prince Andrew's Grift (6/6/26)","slug":"mega-edition-the-interview-that-ended-prince-andrew-s-grift-6-6-26","published_at":"2026-06-06T13:00:03+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles-4089394/mega-edition-the-interview-that-ended-prince-andrew-s-grift-6-6-26","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles-4089394","url":"https://www.spreaker.com/episode/mega-edition-the-interview-that-ended-prince-andrew-s-grift-6-6-26--72373204","audio_url":"https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/72373204/megaandrewbbcinterview.mp3","summary":"The Prince Andrew interview on BBC Newsnight came about after Buckingham Palace sought to clear his name amid growing scrutiny over his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. The idea was first pitched when Prince Andrew’s then-private secretary, Amanda Thirsk, was in discussions with BBC journalist Emily Maitlis and Newsnight editor Esme Wren about a possible interview. Initially, the palace wanted to use the interview to refute allegations that Prince Andrew had sexually abused Virginia Giuffre, who alleged she was trafficked to him by Epstein when she was 17. Thirsk and Andrew saw it as an opportunity to publicly address the controversy, believing it would help him regain credibility. The interview was arranged through direct negotiations between Thirsk and the Newsnight team, with Prince Andrew ultimately agreeing to the sit-down, which was filmed inside Buckingham Palace in November 2019. However, the interview turned into a public relations disaster for Prince Andrew. Instead of clearing his name, his lack of remorse, bizarre explanations, and contradictions only fueled greater criticism. He infamously claimed he could not have been with Giuffre on the alleged night because he was at Pizza Express in Woking and insisted he could not sweat due to a medical condition. The broadcast led to intense backlash, forcing Andrew to step back from royal duties days later. BBC journalist Sam McAlister, who negotiated the interview, later revealed that Andrew and his team failed to anticipate how damning his answers would sound, leading to what is now regarded as one of the most disastrous royal interviews in history. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support .","meta_description":"The Prince Andrew interview on BBC Newsnight came about after Buckingham Palace sought to clear his name amid growing scrutiny over his ties to Jeffrey Ep…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":3987,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-epstein-chronicles-4089394/episodes/mega-edition-the-interview-that-ended-prince-andrew-s-grift-6-6-26/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles-4089394/mega-edition-the-interview-that-ended-prince-andrew-s-grift-6-6-26.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
