    Lee Israel - Literary Forger Ft. Ania Magliano

    In 2018, Melissa McCarthy was nominated for an Oscar for her depiction of one of the biggest literary forgers of our time. But just who was Lee Israel? Join us we welcome comedian Ania Magliano to the podcast and embark on our journey of all things literary forgery related (including some hot goss on Oscar Wilde - it's even more gay content-heavy than usual. We're not sorry). Follow us: https://www.instagram.com/fakesandfraudspod/ https://www.fakesandfrauds.com Contact: hello@fakesandfrauds.com Guest: Ania Maglianohttps://www.instagram.com/aniamagliano/https://twitter.com/AniaMagsProduction support: Daniel McKeon Logo: Molly Bland https://www.instagram.com/molly.bland/ Music: Rich Savage

    The McDonalds Monopoly scandal Ft. Andrew White

    The "McMillions" story is what many call the 12-year-long scheme run by an allusive man only known to many as "Uncle Jerry", a scheme that cost fast-food giants McDonald's 24 million USD. But who was Jerry Jacobson? And how did he manage to pull off such an elaborate operation for over a decade? Join host Glenys and comedian guest Andrew White as they delve into the larger-than-life story, discuss other shady competitions and periodically mispronounce the names of some of the key characters in the story. Follow us: https://www.instagram.com/fakesandfraudspod/ https://www.fakesandfrauds.com Contact: hello@fakesandfrauds.com Guest: Andrew Whitehttps://www.instagram.com/standupandrew/https://twitter.com/standupandrewProduction support: Daniel McKeon Logo: Molly Bland https://www.instagram.com/molly.bland/ Music: Rich Savage

    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.

    Anna Ayala - Unlucky customer or habitual schemer? Ft. Jamali Maddix

    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.

    Peter Popoff - Miracle man or born again scoundrel? Ft. Charlie George

    The Christian 007. The Miracle Boy Evangelist. These are but a few of the things that Mr. Peter Popoff would be referred to in his lifetime. His self-proclaimed healing powers would take him across the world, visiting crowds of adoring fans who believe his touch could cure them of any ailment. He appeared to know things about them before ever meeting them. But a Scooby-Doo-style covert operation ran by a team determined to put a stop to this man would paint a very different story. Follow us: https://www.instagram.com/fakesandfraudspod/ https://www.fakesandfrauds.com Contact: hello@fakesandfrauds.com Guest: Charlie George https://charliegeorgecomedy.com/https://www.instagram.com/charliegeorgecomedy/https://twitter.com/CGdoescomedyGo see Charlie do some comedy with Alex Bertulis-Sernandes and Sharlin Jahan on July 19th 2021 at Top Secret copy club.

    Belle Gibson - Inspiring wellness warrior or conniving con artist? Featuring Ria Lina

    In December 2014, the Australian branch of Elle Magazine ran a feature entitled “The Most Inspiring Woman You’ve Met This Year”. Under the bold headline read, “App creator, social media sensation, author, terminal cancer patient, Elle sits down with Belle Gibson the relentlessly positive force behind The Whole Pantry”.  But just as quickly as she rose to fame with her inspiring tale, she would tumble off her podium.Follow us: https://www.instagram.com/fakesandfraudspod/ https://www.fakesandfrauds.com Contact: hello@fakesandfrauds.com Guest: Ria Lina https://rialina.com/ https://www.instagram.com/rialina_/https://twitter.com/rialina_Logo: Molly Blandhttps://www.instagram.com/molly.bland/ Music: Rich Savage
