Hi all, long time lurker, first time poster. I'm looking for recommendations for podcasts like Scam Factory. That one I have not stopped thinking about since it came out. I want more podcasts like that where it feels like journalism mixed with scammer pod. Other pods I've loved are Chameleon: Hollywood Con Queen and The Girlfriends and The Retrievals.
I don't want any true crime recs or just straight up scammers. I want something that feels more elevated, maybe leaning more towards educational/investigative (like Scam Factory) or personal (like The Girlfriends). Like after I listened to Scam Factory, I felt like I learned something but I was also so touched by the personal stories in it. I just listened to The Idiot which was fine. I liked Unicorn Girl too but wasn't obsessed. I'm trying to listen to The Missing Cryptoqueen right now but I feel like it's really poorly produced / written and I can't get into it. I've loved Scamfluencers in the past but have fallen off of it a bit in recent months.
I really just want something I get addicted to and can't turn off. Anyways please help!!
