143: REFRESH Loot and an Introduction to Private Foundation Rules - Part 2

Welcome to EO Radio Show – Your Nonprofit Legal Resource. I'm Cynthia Rowland, and in episode 143 of the EO Radio Show, I revisit episode 22, the second of two episodes from several years ago that explore the rules surrounding private foundations, using commentary on the Apple TV+ comedy series Loot, starring Maya Rudolph. Season two of Loot premiered in early 2024, and season three premiered in October 2025. In this episode, we revisit the original discussions we had about the first season. But, spoiler alert, my Farella colleague, Hons Yung, and I share some, but not all, of the fun plotlines from season one. So, if you want to laugh along with the podcast, go binge-watch season one first, then come back and listen to this episode for the technical legal issues we spotted in Loot season one.
