Dr. Ronald Dante is a talented hypnotist (and not an actual doctor) whose mind-bending schemes span decades. Dante worked the smoke-filled nightclubs of 1960s Hollywood and rode the self-help craze of the 1980s and 90s, hypnotizing women out of their fortunes, taking out hits on his rivals and opening up one of the biggest fake universities in history. Host Sam Mullins tracks Dante through yacht clubs, prison cells, trailer parks and theme parks to uncover the unbelievable true story of the greatest con man you’ve never heard of.

Awesome!
Because of an article I read I started listening to season one with the Hollywood con queen. The story didn’t grip me that much, although interesting.
With season 2 they do have that amazing story told even better than in season 1! Anticipating every episode!

One of those treasures
I stumbled upon this podcast completely by accident. But boy am I happy that I did. It’s as if you’re listening to a mixture of Don’t Fck With Cats and Catch Me If You Can, but then in audio form. Honestly that would discredit this podcast, because it manages to bring you a unique case in such an interesting and compelling way I only got to experience a few times in more than a decade of podcast-listening. From the storytelling to the sound effects... it was a ride that I could not stop listening to. From now on this is one of my go to podcasts to recommend to people. Can’t wait for what this team at Campside will bring us in the future!
