Season One In an effort to uncover where corruption in American politics starts, The Probe goes deep inside an average high school student body presidential election. Listen as hosts Lisa Burton and Mary Beth Smith meet the candidates and their families, speculate on their motives for running, and unmask all the nasty aspects of running for office at any level. Episode 8 Next Fall. After some shocking news in July, The Probe team felt it was essential to get back into the thick of things at FDRHS. We check in with each of the candidates and their progress one last time, and an undeniably hopeful tone emits itself throughout. Except for maybe when we talk to Vice Principal Hannigan. Was Thomas prepared to take office? Will Staci remain active in the student government? Where is Cori? Who really is August Tooley-Anderson? No really, who? It was a long summer.
