The Grift

When we hear about confidence games, we think, “never me.” Welcome to The Grift, a show about con artists and the lives they ruin. Best-selling author and New Yorker writer Maria Konnikova takes us to the darker side of human nature and deceit. Ten stories about card sharks, cult leaders, art forgers, impostors, and more. Why do we fall for them time and time again?
Still hoping for season 2

I always enjoyed the stories of The Grift, and recently old episodes have been randomly popping back into my feed. Please bring more stories! Of course I’m giving the old shows are-listen when they come into my feed, but new shows would be much appreciated. Thanks!
Wonderful stories, incredible characters

This podcast lies at the intersection of what you hope isn’t true and what you want to believe. The tales of grifting are akin to what Da Vinci did for inventions. There are certainly parts that are fanciful, but everything is rooted in truth. The trouble is that you can never tell what is an elaboration and what is historic. Thus making the intrigue all the greater.
Terrible Narration
07/02/2022
I really want to enjoy this podcast, but the narration is very strange and unnatural. There is no natuaral rhythm or flow to the narration. Each sentence is read in a different rhythm and its difficult to get in to it. THe voice seems forced but pretending to be natural. Just weird. I can't.
Don’t repeat my mistakes

I missed this one and consistently overlooked it. It is excellent and so is family ghosts.
