Listen, Here's the Thing

Imposters and Scammers


Listen Later

This week, Katie and Meko are diving into the wild world of con artists and imposters, inspired by the jaw-dropping docuseries Apple Cider Vinegar and Scamanda. But first, a little weekend recap—Meko had a chef’s dinner, Katie spent the weekend at the hockey rink and Bulldog Day, and of course, they have to discuss Ryan Reynolds & Blake Lively and the SNL 50th anniversary special. 

Then, it’s scammer deep dive time—why are we so obsessed with fraudsters? From Anna Delvey and Elizabeth Holmes (The Dropout) to the crazy woman who needed to fake cancer to get attention, these con artists are shameless. The ladies break down how they got away with it, why people keep falling for these scams, and most importantly—could they have been tricked, too?  

In Apple Cider Vinegar, we meet Belle Gibson —woman who literally faked cancer to build social media empire. And in Scamanda, Amanda Riley pulled off an even bigger fake illness scheme. How did she manipulate so many people so well? And why do these scams thrive on social media? 

Pour a drink and get ready!
