About this episode
When Seth Crossno flew to the Bahamas for Fyre Festival, he expected chaos—but not the kind that would leave him stranded in a disaster zone with the world watching. As one of the first people to document the debacle in real time—via a parody account—Seth’s tweets helped shape the public narrative of one of the biggest event failures in modern history. In this interview, Nicole Lapin sits down with Seth to unpack what it was really like on the ground at Fyre Fest, how he became an accidental internet icon, and why he ultimately took Billy McFarland to court.
