Our take on Persona: The French Deception podcast
If you like stories about scammers, Persona: The French Deception is for you. It talks about Gilbert Chikli's ability to fool some of the world's most influential people and get their money. Episode by episode, Evan Ratliff investigates the case and how Chikli could also escape the law for years. More often than not, we have the impression that we are living in the golden age of scammers. We probably have this idea because they make an attractive topic to make stories. We can find great documentaries about the most diverse scams, from ultra-expensive wine bottles to the Tinder Swindler. This podcast is a fantastic example: it has deep research, excellent writing and presentation and top-quality audio, making a top docu-series.Evan Ratliff
