The Dropout is an investigative podcast series that unravels the extraordinary story of Elizabeth Holmes and her blood-testing company Theranos. Hosted by journalist Rebecca Jarvis, the series draws on years of investigative reporting, exclusive interviews with former employees and investors, patient testimonies, and deposition testimony from Holmes herself to piece together an unbelievable tale of ambition and fame gone terribly wrong.
Through meticulous storytelling, the podcast examines how Holmes built Theranos into a multi-billion-dollar company while making claims about revolutionary blood-testing technology that were later proven false.

The Dropout provides listeners with an intimate look at the people affected by the company's deception, from employees whose concerns went unheeded to patients and investors who were misled. Available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, and other major platforms, this compelling investigation offers a comprehensive account of how one entrepreneur's vision became a cautionary tale.
