    When Frank Farian first laid eyes on Rob Pilatus and Fab Morvan, he saw everything he wasn’t. They were handsome, young, and Black. But Frank had something they didn’t. He had power.


    So, Frank offered them a devil’s bargain. Almost overnight, Milli Vanilli’s debut album went five times platinum and scored a Grammy nomination. But when the lie at the center of their success started to unravel, Rob and Fab would discover the hard way the difference between star power and real power.


    From Wondery, Blame It on the Fame is a story about the lie that shot to #1 and what it cost to tell the truth. Hosted by Amanda Seales.

Great ensemble

In
an era where everyone has a podcast, this one is simply the best. The exchange between the three is lively, stone crunching and on entertaining.

They nail it every g0dd@mn week.

Funny. Somewhat insightful. Entertaining. These guys embody friendship and it shows in every interview. Regardless of the guest, (all of them have been amazing) it’s such a pleasure to be a bystander to the relationship of these very different hysterical and talented individuals.
