What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Stacy Keach is a wonderful storyteller - one minute it seems like he knows where the story is going and the next he is just as surprized as the rest of us. I know you are a man of a certain age now, Mr. Keach, but as long as you are willing to keep recording these tales, we are happy to listen.

JanetZag · Jan 2024

This has been my favorite show for years! So glad it’s here so I can listen all day. The show is not only interesting but helpful in regards to showing all the types of scams and also helping one to think critically. This show has saved me from so many scams! I also love that the show gives empathy to the victims.

cyx444 · Feb 2022

This is my favorite show! The stories are fascinating and bewildering, it’s crazy to believe what greed will make people do. The episodes are short enough to keep my attention, but long enough to tell a great story.

Szn9 · Feb 2019

All you’re getting here is the audio from old episodes of the CNBC TV show “American Greed”... but that’s all you need. The episodes work perfectly fine without the accompanying video footage. Now Stacy Keach can regale you with tales of scammers and scoundrels on the go. Super enjoyable.

Jack_McCoy · Oct 2018

In the show about young Miami bar girls who were tricked to coming to the US and held here with threats of no return plane ticket plus made to sleep with the bar owner, why are they referred to as "apex predators"? Yes, these girls were instructed to scam men, but the show is clear they are victims. Victims and at the same time apex predators? How out of touch can this show/pod get? I normally love it, but this is an epic misjudgment.
