Listen now: Scamfluencers | The Pharmacist Femme Fatale
Natalie Cochran seemed like she had it all: a good job as a pharmacist, a loving husband, and two kids. But then she quit her job to become a government contractor and started raking in dough, or so she claimed. Behind the scenes, Natalie was running a classic Ponzi scheme, scamming friends and family with fake contracts, fake government emails, and even fake cancer. But when the walls start closing in, lies alone won’t be enough to save her… These are the stories of the world’s most insidious Scamfluencers. And we are their prey. Every week on Scamfluencers, join co-hosts Scaachi Koul and Sarah Hagi as they unpack epic stories of deception from the worlds of social media, fashion, finance, health, and wellness. These influencers claim to be everything from charismatic healers to trusted financial insiders to experts in dating. They cast spells over millions. Why do we believe them, and how does our culture allow them to thrive?

From Beyoncé’s Stolen Records to Belly’s Bob (with Bolu Babalola) | 71
In the immortal words of Judge Judy: “Beauty fades, but dumb is forever.” This week, Hunter and Peyton put on their robes and bang the gavel, taking the courtroom through some wild legal findings: Beyoncé’s stolen records (recovered at last), Luigi’s courtroom body (tea), and Jimmy Kimmel silenced (fascism much?).
