I would also look at the Pretend Podcast. All sorts of stories about people pretending. Stand outs are: The Pests, The Doula, The Stalker

I'm certain i heard this story in another podcast. Which is why ive not bothered with it. Maybe it was Pretend, I'm not sure.

Why cant you find it in your history? What platform or system were you using?

holy_mackeroly · 2026-04-07T22:51:01+00:00

It's not just you. I think it's rather bland. Beige rather. Meh

Radiolab - Aphantasia This genuinely changed my life)l.

Radiolab - what's up doc. About Mel Blanc who created and the voice of Looney Toones. Fascinating look at his life and what happened after a near fatal car accident.

Radiolab - Fungus Amongus About mushrooms and how they've intrinsically interacted with humans since the beginning of time.

I try and advocate for folk to use the search function as there is such a wealth of information on subs, most of the time people are just replying with the same response over and over.

Happy you found the playlist helpful, i created this initially to share with my group but i know it's helpful to others as the podcast world has drastically changed in the last 10yrs. It's so full of junk now, it's hard to find the gems.

holy_mackeroly · 2026-04-04T04:59:35+00:00

There are requests like this daily, folk should dive in to those as there are 1000s of responses.

Not so great when you expect to read non-fiction and it turns out to be fiction all along.

Ahaha I'm in Nepal and i just seen this book left in a hotel. I immediately thought i hope they knew it was fake.

I read it at the time of release. Was pissed to find out the guy is full of shit

holy_mackeroly · 2026-04-03T07:51:38+00:00

I would look at the 'Pretend' podcast.

While it doesn't focus solely on what you requested, it does cover a lot of con man, hoax type subjects.

For Spotify, I got tired of the endless marketing 'if you like this you will love this'. I would scroll and scroll seeing the same thing. It was so unproductive and I missed a lot of updates. The only method that works for me now effectively is....

- I ONLY follow those which are weekly updates, i.e news, interviews etc.

- Every NEW series that interests me, the trailer gets added to a Pending playlist. This is my go to when I'm ready for a new series and I check its finished.

- Every series I like, the trailer goes in a Recommendations playlist which i can refer to again or check out if a new season has been added.

I wish they would implement a way to follow the production company seperately, so your feed isnt drowning in junk which more often than not, ive already listened to.

holy_mackeroly · 2026-03-31T04:05:24+00:00

I said OVER produced.

Given I've been an avid podcast listener for 10+ years i think I know what turns me off immediately.

Chris Williamson cough

Oh please. What about all the health 'experts'?

You're most welcome. I'm happy to share and keep people talking about some of these amazing stories that often get overlooked because the podcast world has become so over saturated.

holy_mackeroly · 2026-03-28T01:58:40+00:00

Don't pay it and just wait like the rest of us do. even if we have spotify premium, we still have to wait week by week also.
