About Paradise Incorporated

Hosted by Noel Roberts

Some paradises were planned. Others were stumbled into. All of them were bought, sold, and fought over.

Paradise Incorporated is a documentary podcast about how the world’s most exclusive places became markets: the deals, the risk takers, and the rules that decided who got rich. Some of these stories start with a bold plan and a map. Others start with an accident, a lucky break, or a change in fashion that turned quiet land into a fortune.

Each episode is a short documentary about one place, one transaction, or one gambler who saw something no one else did. Think Anthony Bourdain’s curiosity, a history documentary’s research, and the lifestyles of the very rich, with a focus on how the money got there.

If you’ve ever wondered why one stretch of coastline became priceless and the next didn’t, this is the show.
