Episode notes

Brett Favre's daughter was playing volleyball at the university and that's why he wanted to see this stadium built. It is important to note that from 2020 near the beginning, Brett Favre has denied knowing that this money came from this temporary assistance for needy families program. He did not pay the remainder of it back until more than a year later after a separate forensic audit came out in October of 2021. The auditor's office says that he owes interest on that money for the time that he had had it and he has not paid the interest on it.

An extraordinary case of fraud is unfolding in Mississippi, where a chummy cadre of nonprofit leaders, elected officials, and professional athletes redirected tens of millions in welfare funds toward their own pet projects. Mississippi Today’s Anna Wolfe explains.

This episode was produced by Hady Mawajdeh and Avishay Artsy, edited by Matt Collette, fact-checked by Laura Bullard, engineered by Paul Robert Mounsey and Efim Shapiro, and hosted by Noel King.
