These two guys are adorable, inside and out. Great voices. Fantastic research. And the subject matter is so well covered with details the human mind can't always discern. It's so much better than other podcasts that believe they are unmasking fraudsters, or people who pretend. THIS is the podcast you need to be listening to! Funny, touching, just so well done. BRAVO!

i am enjoying the pod so far—good research & some humor! i will continue to listen! while true crime seems to be the favorite of most, i love some white collar crime and the intrigue! 4.5 rounded up :)

Love this show! Offbeat, deeply researched and really well reported. Ignore the occasional naysayer who carps about the hosts being “comedians”— a pickle doesn’t like anything fun. The hosts are actually very charming and entertaining and yes, even funny but they don’t overdo it.

I am very picky when it comes to hosts and I love that these two are real, funny, clearly spoken, without being cringey or offensive about the crimes they discuss- they bring you fascinating stories in a really easy-to-follow and intriguing fashion. I was super surprised how much I loved this one!!

Despite interest in the material, I had to stop the audio and read it instead. The delivery is slow, littered with unfunny attempts at cliche’ jokes, and just drags in. A solid concept disrupted by an utter lack of personality.
