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.
