Summary

As Peter Nygard spends the final days of his life in a jail cell, Ashleigh Banfield talks with his victims about what justice looks like for them. She speaks to his family about the irony of Peter dying alone after a lifetime of being surrounded by people-- mostly women. 

About "Uncle Peter"
Growing up, he was always "Uncle Peter" to me. Peter Nygard was my best friend's uncle, but would one day become the world's most reviled serial rapist. How did it happen? What made him into this monster? We opened up Peter’s secret vault of exclusive pictures, videos, phone calls, messages, memos, letters… even his little black book. Together, we recount the last 40 years... growing up with him... living with him... working for him... and being swept up in the criminal and civil cases that brought down his empire.

Video versions of the podcast are available on YouTube one day after publication to RSS feeds.
