Summary

#623: Today, we're sitting down with the infamous Billy McFarland. Billy McFarland is best known for organizing Fyre Festival, the VIP party that became infamous when hundreds of attendees were left stranded in the Bahamas with half-built huts to sleep in and cold cheese sandwiches to eat. McFarland was sentenced to six years in prison for wire fraud charges in relation to Fyre Festival. Now, McFarland is free and has mentioned that a possible follow-up to Fyre Festival is 'finally happening.' Today, Billy joins us for a conversation about Fyre Fest, how it got started, what went wrong, and everything there is to know about his experience in jail. He also dives into what he's learned since Fyre Fest and how he's approaching Fyre Fest #2.
