Journalist and author Ben Reiter is hosting and writing the season, which will be produced by Leon Neyfakh and Andrew Parsons (<em>Slow Burn<\/em>, <em>Fiasco<\/em>). Reiter, Leon Neyfakh\u2019s Prologue Projects and Steven Fisher\u2019s Underground Entertainment are developing the TV series along with Left\/Right.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the podcast series, Reiter will chart how the MLB discovered that the Astros 2017 World Series-winning season that led to their victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers was tainted by cheating. Cadence13\u2019s new sports documentary franchise is slated to launch this summer.<\/p>\n<p>Chris Corcoran, chief content officer at Cadence13, said: \u201cThis is a story that everyone is talking about, and partnering with Ben and Leon to deep dive on this scandal should give listeners the best insight and context possible. We are thrilled to expand Cadence13\u2019s powerful lineup of original documentary storytelling with this new franchise.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Reiter said: \u201cThe Astros of the 2010s were the most innovative organization in the history of sports. As it turned out, the \u2018new way to win it all\u2019 involved factors that no one could have imagined\u2014myself included. Cadence13, Prologue Projects and Left\/Right are the ideal partners with whom to reveal the full story of the Astros\u2019 exhilarating rise and shocking fall.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Neyfakh said: \u201cWe have long wanted to apply our narrative approach to a story that\u2019s outside the world of politics. The Astros saga is the perfect place for us to start\u2014in addition to being populated by amazing characters, it forces you to ask yourself hard questions about the meaning of fairness, cheating and secrecy.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Left\/Right, a Red Arrow Studios company, is set to produce a documentary series based on a forthcoming podcast that will tackle the sign-stealing scandal of the Houston Astros Major League Baseball team.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1033,"featured_media":14117,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[2355,2719],"class_list":["post-14116","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-leftright","tag-red-arrow-studios","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
