    S2 Ep9: Lee Israel - Literary Forger Ft. Ania Magliano
    Jul 28 2021
    In 2018, Melissa McCarthy was nominated for an Oscar for her depiction of one of the biggest literary forgers of our time. But just who was Lee Israel? Join us we welcome comedian Ania Magliano to the podcast and embark on our journey of all things literary forgery related (including some hot goss on Oscar Wilde - it's even more gay content-heavy than usual. We're not sorry).

    S2 Ep7: The McDonalds Monopoly scandal Ft. Andrew White
    Jul 14 2021
    The "McMillions" story is what many call the 12-year-long scheme run by an allusive man only known to many as "Uncle Jerry", a scheme that cost fast-food giants McDonald's 24 million USD. But who was Jerry Jacobson? And how did he manage to pull off such an elaborate operation for over a decade? Join host Glenys and comedian guest Andrew White as they delve into the larger-than-life story, discuss other shady competitions and periodically mispronounce the names of some of the key characters in the story.
