Show by Never Light Up A Room Podcast
In January 1996, Olympic gold medalist Dave Schultz was at the top of the wrestling world when a shocking encounter at his home changed everything. His relationship with eccentric millionaire John du Pont had brought Dave into the strange and increasingly unsettling world of Foxcatcher Farms, where money, power, paranoia, and ambition collided. What happened behind the gates of the Foxcatcher estate would leave the wrestling community stunned and become one of the most bizarre murders in the history of American sports.
