397 - Jim Bakker: The Rise and Fall (and Rise Again) of an American Grifter
Jim Bakker, and his wife, Tammy Faye, revolutionized tele-evangelism in the 1970s and 1980s. Their PTL Club, was, at it's height, pulling in millions a WEEK in donations to support their cause. But their cause was a lie. Jim was not who he claimed to be, and financial and sexual improprieties would send him to prison... before he got out and started running his scam all over again.

Robert Howard episode review
This commentary on Mr Howard’s life was disrespectful and an abomination to a great man. Shame on you. You are a hyped up muppet that seriously lacks comedic sense, reverting to filth and dirty humour to get a laugh. Go choke yourself.
