Whitney Peak Is Set To Star In Podcast ‘Big Envelopes’

Whitney Peak, Abbi Jacobson and Susie Essman are among the cast for Audible’s new scripted comedy podcast series "Big Envelopes" about college admissions.

"Big Envelopes" was created by Aaron Eisenberg and Will Eisenberg and produced by Treefort Media.

Judy Greer, Timothy Simons, Aaron Taylor Jennings and The Sklar Brothers will also appear in the comedy series.

Launching on December 14, the series is a satire that gives listeners a  peek behind the ivy curtain of the juggernaut $10B college admissions industry.

It used to be: Make good grades, get good SAT scores, write a good essay, and you were on your way to a good college. Now? Kiss that world goodbye. Merit isn’t a sure thing. Connections are everything. And money talks—a lot. 

Enter Kelly Pritzker (Jacobson), a shrewd, New Jersey-based college “consultant” who isn’t above faking athletic profiles, seducing administrators, greasing palms, and juicing GPAs. When it comes to getting the underqualified and uber-privileged into the Ivy League, Kelly’s the closest thing you’ll find to a guarantee… if you can afford her, that is. 

But after an admissions scandal breaks on the West Coast, anonymous letters start appearing in Kelly’s mailbox, threatening to take down her entire operation. And when a mysterious teenager, Hadley (Peak), shows up at her door, a revelation about both of their pasts starts to upend Kelly’s present.

The six-episode series was written by Aaron Eisenberg & Will Eisenberg, who also direct.
