    Going Places: The College Art Students Who Fooled a Nation
    Jul 23 2026

    In the late 1990s, a group of art students from Leeds, England, announce a week in Spain as their latest “conceptual artwork” — and Britain’s tabloids lose their collective mind. But as the headlines pile up, it becomes clear the “holiday” is only the surface story. And the Art is aimed straight at the culture machine that’s reporting it.

    Jul 16 2026

    His friends, family and a string of partners all believed a version of the same thing. That Randy was a former marine who now flew commercial airliners. But as the people around him started to look more closely, their ideas about who this charming man was began to wobble.

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

I love this podcast. I heard the recommendation on park predators. So many times you hear slight stories of fake identities yet this gives so much insight to stories I have wondered about. I highly recommend this podcast!
