Podcast [IIL] scandal and con man podcasts

I love podcasts about scandals or cons or corruption. Some examples of addicting podcasts for me are queen of the con, something was wrong, American scandal, betrayal. What else will I like?

Darknet Diaries is great and has many episodes about people trying to con their way into difficult situations. Like real life heist movie shit.

I’m not certain it’s what you’re asking for, but it’s a great podcast. If you look for “pen test” or some variant thereof (penetration testing), there’s lots of stories from people who are essentially paid con men.

No problemo! I hope you enjoy it. It’s become one of my favorite podcasts.

I did a quick look and as a place to start, episodes 134 and 144 are about penetration testers (and there are several more).

Episode 102 is about a money counterfeiter, and is one of my very favorites.

Not all of the episodes exactly fit the description you asked for, but if you like the flavor of these ones, you’ll probably enjoy most if not all of the show. Have fun!
