Bewitched Banter

Amy takes us back to some episode content from episode one including the ways psychics may or may not (according to Amy and the overall scientific community), see the future and communicate with the dead. Are psychics con artists or legit fortune tellers? Amy detects utter B.S., while Krista is still a believer she has become more skeptical thanks to Amy’s prodding. Where the Bewitches do agree on this topic, manipulating anyone in a time of grief and pain is downright wrong.

This is sure to be a wild one. From a British lady who cons lovers (Krista’s has renamed to Wu-Tang-Grown Ass Honey-Boo Boo) to an a-hole abuelita, the Bewitches share two tales of women who hustled their way right into prison. Krista’s granny ain’t all that grand, but her scams led her to commit one of the grandest atrocities of all. Dorthea Puente (AKA "Death House Landlady,” Teya Singoalla Neyaarda, or Sharon Johansson) had everyone including the authorities fooled until her murderous ways were revealed. Then Amy lightens things up in the love game with Patricia Wutaan, (now formally known as Patricia WuTang Clan Grown A$$ Honey Boo Boo), a British conwoman who got rich by becoming the Queen of online dating romance scams. Watch out singles.

w all the true crime genre rage would morph into an obsessive interest in con artists? With seemingly endless hit streaming series, docuseries, and podcasts like Inventing Anna, The Tinder Swindler, The Dropout: Elizabeth Holmes on Trial, and the Chameleon series, it seems we’re all mesmerized by these hustlers and tricksters. But are we fascinated so much lately because we’ll avoid being conned at all costs or is it because there seems to be an uptick in women pulling off these scams? Krista takes you through the origin of the word “con artist,” what a con person is, and how to avoid getting hustled yourself. Bewitches everywhere Beware - women are just as good (if not better) at running today’s scams than men.
