Fakes and Frauds

Fast-food chains are no stranger to the headlines - whether it’s exposing the sugar and fat content of their meals or the questionable approaches to advertising. But in 2005, a headline out of Southern California would cost one of the world’s largest fast-food chains a whopping 2.5 million USD, prompting a nationwide manhunt and expose the disturbing history of a woman with a reckless hobby.

With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, we thought it time we bring you a truly flabbergasting tale of one man who was determined to be with the man he loved — and with matching Mercedes convertibles, of course. Illustrator, ceramic artist and all-around London queer royalty Fredde Lanka joins Glenys to tell the story that inspired the 2009 film I Love You Phillip Morris. Love knows no bounds — not even prison walls.

Joined by Argentinian comedian Victoria Olsina, this week we delve into a scandal of epic proportions. What may have appeared as simple, spiral-bound notebooks would quickly become the key to uncovering criminal endeavours that would shake the South American nation to its core. Plus, learn why it’s important to know the difference between a ferret and a poodle when shopping from the stalls at Buenos Aires’ La Salada market. If you like podcasts about imposters, con artists and juicy deception, be sure to rate, subscribe and spread the word. It makes a HUGE difference!

It's happening! We're working on bringing you more episodes of comedians discussing cases of bewildering deception - from con-artists to hoaxes to straight-up scams. We do hope you'll join us!

As England battles to bring the Euro Cup home, we look at the cult tale of how a mysterious man with, by all accounts very questionable football skills, managed to find himself playing in a Premier League game for Southhampton in 1996. Football fan or not, this story is sure to entertain.
