The Opportunist is my guilty pleasure. Definitely doesn't increase trust in society.

Me too. I miss the old host. ETA: the AARP podcast, The Perfect Scam, is also very good. I like Scam Goddess, too, in smaller doses.

I took a break for a year (and they also removed previous seasons from Spotify?) and came back to keep asking myself if this is the same show because it sounded so... different. Now you've confirmed it - it's the host. The episodes are only one-episose arcs and don't really grab me like the previous ones.

Yeah, I much prefer a multi-episode, deep-dive into a subject, a la, The Dream, season one.

If she can start a cult, anyone can. They still sell her stones on Etsy.

I can't overdose on so many. I'll lose all hope.
