Our first episode of The Muck Podcast delves into a political scandal that rocked Fort Lauderdale in 1991. The episode focuses on Doug Danziger, who resigned from his position as Vice Mayor of Fort Lauderdale after being accused of canoodling with a sex worker named Kathy Willets. The scandal was even more shocking, given Danziger’s well-known opposition to immoral behavior.
The scandal had far-reaching consequences, not just for the people involved but for the entire city of Fort Lauderdale. We spill the dirty secrets that lay beneath the surface of the city’s moral crusade. Using old newspaper coverage, we dig into the case and give all the juicy details including “The List” of client names and possible blackmail.
