Barbie’s Dream House and NYC’s Private School Nightmare

What this episode covers

Today, there are two stories on Infamous. First, Vanessa talks to Decoder Ring's Willa Paskin about the event of the summer — the Barbie movie — and learns about Barbie's bizarre origin story, how she's evolved since the late fifties, and what's next for the Barbie franchise.  Then, Gabe Sherman returns to talk about a major scandal at one of the most elite private high schools in the country: Horace Mann. This school, where politicians, celebrities and financiers send their kids, turns into a pressure cooker when students, teachers, and the board find themselves in conflict over some disturbing Facebook posts and a teacher's roman à clef.
