The Slippery

by Nancy Moscatiello and Scott Eldridge

THE SLIPPERY The con artists think they're untouchable. The fraudsters believe their schemes are foolproof. The scammers assume they'll never be caught. They're all dead wrong. Welcome to The Slippery, where the most audacious scammers, mind-bending scandals, and elaborate schemes meet their match. Hosted by Nancy Moscatiello and Scott Eldridge—the investigative duo behind the explosive hit "Scamanda" podcast and acclaimed documentary series—this true crime podcast takes you inside the twisted minds of master manipulators and the devastating aftermath they leave behind. Every case gets the deep-dive treatment across two episodes that reveal every angle of deception: THE SLIPPERY: Nancy and Scott dissect each case from first lie to final reckoning, with one host pitching why this story deserves the Hollywood treatment—documentary series, limited series, or feature film. THE SLIPPERY DEBRIEF: Raw, unscripted conversations with special guests who lived these schemes firsthand—victims, investigators, journalists, and insiders sharing revelations that never made official reports. From elaborate Ponzi schemes to fake cancer fundraisers, from romance scams to corporate fraud, The Slippery exposes the schemes that prove truth is more shocking than any fiction Hollywood could create. Because when it comes to deception, everyone thinks they're too smart to fall for it. Until they do. New episodes every week. Subscribe now and prepare to question everything you thought you knew about trust, manipulation, and the art of the con.

What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I’m really enjoying this pod- the format is very interesting and new to me, as they’ve worked in TV. It’s creative, thoughtful, organized. They’re simply fun to listen to as they are presumably friends & seem to have a rapport/banter…While still having great respect and compassion for the victims of their story! I love the debriefing episodes, as it gives another POV from those who’ve experienced these events firsthand. Can’t say enough great things about this pod! 👏

CalmJaguar1973 · Aug 2026

My imagination doesn’t do too well with gruesome true crime, but I love these scams and schemes stories! At first I was skipping the debriefs but after a few episodes I went back and started listening to them, too. They’re just as great as the story episodes.

Lyndsaygilbert · Jul 2026

I love this podcast! From the people who brought you Scamanda (which was excellent!), are now doing deep dives on other grifts! They are great storytellers. I’m only sad I’ve almost listened to them all and will now have to wait for more!

Erin Maus · Jul 2026

Fantastic podcast. You don’t need a sleep timer, you’ll probable not stop listening until you’ve r finished the entire show! Easy listening & the hosts don’t leave us wondering about any questions we have! Bonus is the follow up episode totally finishes up the conversation & delves into the evil happening around us.
