When Kirat Assi met a man named Bobby online, her life changed forever. Their long-distance love story was a slow burn, lasting for ten years. They texted and called every day, sharing dreams of starting a life together. In all that time Kirat and Bobby never met in person.

Kirat then learned that Bobby wasn't real – and she was the victim of an elaborate catfishing scam.

If that setup has you hooked, you'll understand why so many people are obsessed with the podcast Sweet Bobby. This week Leah welcomes the host, investigative journalist Alexi Mostrous, for a spoiler-free interview you won't want to miss.

Leah also talks to the creator of a new CBC podcast all about exploring grief and memory. Alex McKinnon's brother Paul was killed thirty years ago by a speeding police car, at only fourteen years old. As time went on, Alex's memories of Paul became hazy and then went away. In his podcast Sorry About the Kid, he explores his childhood grief and tries to get those memories back.
