Strange Country Ep. 293: Candid Camera
Smile, you're listening to a podcast about Candid Camera. Created by Allen Funt, Candid Camera was America's first prank reality show. A case could be made that this show is responsible for the reality television trend that led to a con man being packaged as a "successful businessman" and is now pranking America as prez. Strange Country cohosts Beth and Kelly talk about this pioneering show whilst smiling through their tears.
Theme music: Big White Lie by A Cast of Thousands.
