I'm on season 5 of this podcast and the story lines are very well done and researched and narrated. But Audible really undercuts the journalism done here (and on many other podcast...presenters? platforms? media platforms producing multiple seasons and stories within a single entity?) by forcing the media into a very clunky interface that presents all seasons in a single flow, and no matter what I do, between my 3 devices, it always reverts to the season 1 teaser.
Anyways. Hoping Audible gets better user experience, because then this podcast would be a TEN! I'm giving it 5 stars across the board because these UX issues aren't the podcasters' fault.

Incredible stories, but horrible Audible presentation

this podcast is very good, but the description and title on audible is extremely confusing. it looks like the overall podcast is deep dive into scams, with each scam having mang episode/a season. the title/description is just for the third season only,. hopefully that gets fixed 🤞

really good, confusing audible listing

Found this from a commercial that kept interrupting another podcast. Originally I thought i was just going to hear about the wild boys but ended up hearing about all of these other true crimes. Slightly misleading but it was interesting enouph. I ended up skipping through because I was mostly intrigued by the wild boys story, which I had not heard about prior to this.

interesting

Not bad. Story was decent. Many more ads than any other podcast I have listened to here. ONE MORE THING.....the podcast is about an ENTIRELY different subject than the title AND description. It is about a scam of Hollywood in Indonesia. Has ZERO connection to the title and desxription.

What?
