Fruit: The Cost of Legacy - Episode 1 Teaser Bonus
Show notes
From the same minds behind Seasons 1 and 2 of Fruit comes a brand-new anthology story. This time, we’re stepping into a completely different world. Season 3 brings new characters, new stakes, and a story that stands entirely on its own so you don’t have to listen to the first two seasons to jump in.
A shocking audio leak threatens to expose University of Los Angeles’ star running back Marc St. James and destabilize the mighty St. James legacy. As the family scrambles behind closed doors to contain the fallout, Marc faces mounting pressure both on and off the field. On the eve of Homecoming, one thing becomes clear: the real battle won’t be the one under the stadium lights.
