This is a podcast version of my Substack article of the same title. You can read it here.
I recommended (sort of!):
* A Scottish Tea Mystery from the Guardian’s Science Weekly podcast
* The Missing Crypto Queen about the woman who invented a crypto currency and then mysteriously disappeared with the deposits
* World of Secrets The Six Billion Dollar Gold Scam about the man who faked finding gold in Busang, losing investors their life savings
* World of Secrets The Bad Guru about a yoga teacher turned sex trafficker
* The Guardian Long Read - episodes on Mexico’s anti-avocado militias and the unstoppable rise of Shein
* Cautionary Tales - True Lies and Genuine Fakes about master forger Eric Hebborn or the episode speaking to Michael Lewis on Sam Bankman-Fried.
