Extended Cut Hoax Spectacular! with Chelsey Weber-Smith
Here is a longer version (Carolyn's Cut, if you will) of today's episode, featuring even more hoax goodness—plus a Nessie theory I personally find very persuasive.

Customer Reviews
A thank you and a humble advice
What a wonderful podcast. Thank you so much! I love the smart concept, thourough research and the charming chemistry between the two of you. Just listened to one of the O.J.Simpson/Kato Kaelin episodes, and just have to add, as a Scandinavian myself, that you might consider making an episode where you outsmart your own biases on Scandinavia. ;-) Best regards and lots of love
Stellar
I never leave reviews, but I just had to share my love, as this is hands down my favourite podcast. The episodes are always incredibly interesting and the hosts are charming and charismatic. You really learn something every single time, and information like that rarely sticks with me, except if it’s from this podcast. I can turn on any random episode where I have no idea what the topic is about, and still be immediately hooked. If I ever have trouble sleeping, I will sometimes put on this podcast and then sleep like a baby after 15 minutes. Not because it’s boring, far from it, but there is something so calming about it. The voices, the vibes, the intro music. I just immediately feel safe and comforted, like listening to two close friends having a conversation. I think my favourite episode so far is the Kitty Genovese and Bystander Apathy one. It’s just so interesting and also made me weep like a baby on my walk. I still think about it from time to time. I’ve recommended this podcast to people around me for a while know, I really think everyone should tune in to it.
Hope you guys continue to do many many episodes!
Best podcast on earth
I’ve not been able to stop binging! When I was done listening to the whole podcast I started relistening to everything again, and I even supported them on Patreon to get access to more episodes. I’m obsessed with this show!
