There’s almost 15 minutes of ads per episode. No thank you! Couldn’t even tell you if the actual pod is any good as it’s so difficult to follow given the volume of ads!!

Used to love this show. Totally understand the need for shows to create revenue. However, the insane number of interruptions make this podcast impossible to listen to. You lost a listener 🙁 Oh, and if I hear the phrase ‘My buddy, Evan Goldstein’ again 😱

I don’t know why but I’m not as interested in this season as the previous. I don’t know if it just feels like there aren’t as many details or I don’t know. Maybe the last half will be more interesting to me but this far just not feeling it personally.

I love your show! It is so nice to see someone standing up to help so many people who have been conned by people they have cared about or thought were their friends. I recommend your show to everyone I talk to. Thank you!

I’m so upset with these animals that call themselves human beings. The lives and small businesses effected in these stories makes me so sick 🤢 The host does such a good job allowing these poor people to share their stories, it’s so relatable and heart felt. I love all the professionals speaking...Read full review »

Great podcast, please add new episodes following up on all these fraudsters

I love this pod cast! Jonathan does a fantastic job bringing in all of the most interesting details! It’s so so good!

Has to be one of the worst podcasts when it comes to advertisement. There are other podcasts with the same topic that don’t over saturate the story with ads like this one does. I feel bad for the gentleman that host the show for the scam he went through. But, it feels like he’s using...Read full review »

Excellent podcast. Love the host and the stories. The ads are so frequent and obnoxiously loud and intrusive, unfortunately.
Hungeryfan via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/13/24
It’s ridiculously obvious how much this is funded by ads. The show is only 36 minutes long. It’s like 10 minutes of actual show. I’m officially done.
Traye M via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/13/24
I spat out my drink when Evan said “I don’t care for this show; I don’t really listen to it” 😂😂 I love listening to you two working through the case together - you have a great dynamic! Big fan of the music, too.
RTweidt via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 04/12/24
I can’t listen to this podcast regularly because there’s an insane about of ads. It’s a shame as the content is good but I have never listened to another podcast which has as many ads.
hazelkated via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 04/12/24
Loved that your voice actress sounded so like Jen Shah in her victim inflection. And LOVED that you had Emily Baker on as your courtroom expert! April 2024–ooh! You have gotten really good at your cliff-hanging endings!!

fabulous podcast LOVE it. Jonathan is an amazing host. Covers the stories perfectly with a touch of humour.
elljaygee5891 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 04/11/24
Was hooked from season 1. Great host, well researched and well told stories. I agree that there are too many ads which detract from engagement - would be great if they removed at least one ad break before the end. Still well worth your time, this podcast doesn’t disappoint.
TerrenceB03 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 04/11/24
Johnathan, the host, is so relatable and goes into such depth on the schemes and psychology of these con artists. This is by far my favorite new podcast and I am eagerly awaiting more episodes!!
CathFras via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/09/24
Sorry it’s a decent podcast but totally ruined by lots of adverts. Everyone needs money but dude you’ve ruined it…
Axzunhdsgur via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 04/09/24
I am not a huge true crime gal but I absolutely LOVE this pod cast! I love that Jonathan focus on women con artists. It grabs you attention and keeps you riveted until the end! Get ready to binge!!!
whittylove via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/09/24
Love it! It’s so well done and informative. Never let somebody touch my phone after listening to this podcast.
butterbaker via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/08/24
And here I thought I’m the only one hitting the 30 second FF a zillion times. I love the content but I can’t take the amount of ads + intro + outro.
Finschick via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/07/24
Good story, but the ads are just too long, too loud, and too obnoxious. The content to ad ratio is not a pleasant proportion.
Tanya the listener via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/06/24
Any chance you can make sure you incorporate your personal scam story into every episode you do? We get it. Enough.
Megan Haley via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/05/24
Would love to get it a 5 but way to many ads. I understand that you have to make money. I listen to many podcasts you have a lot of ads.

Baby B's mom via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/05/24
Bingable and entertaining, host is great, three stars because the proportion of actual podcast to adds is egregious. Way too many adds and long.
Marissa Van Gogh via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/03/24
This show is so well edited, written, and just over all done. The story telling is impeccable. And I know ads are your bread and butter but I wish there were less ads throughout, even if that means you have more at the beginning and end. Please keep making seasons, I’m sure there is no end to...Read full review »

30 mins of “content” that’s often repetitive and 15 mins of ads?!?! Someone’s got a great con going, Jonathan Walton. Schmuck. Not that great of a podcast to have to sift through 15 mins of ads.

The reporting is great and this podcast gets you interested. Such a great podcast keep up the good work hosts
Cfkmama via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/01/24
The only thing I would change is wish there were a million seasons so I could binge for weeks 😂 I love the host, he just has a very natural way of entertaining! Never get tired of listening
dlinders1836272 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/01/24
I‘m enjoying the second season of Queen of the Con - or I would be but the number of ads and their poor quality have me ready to give up on this podcast. Ugh
Colleen MJ via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/30/24
I'm here because of an article in the New York Times. This is undoubtedly a really interesting story which I will never hear the rest of becuase of the ridiculous number and frequency of ads. I got about a half hour in and there were four commercial breaks. This is especially uncalled for...Read full review »

I’m a true crime fan and this kind of fits that bill but is different in the crimes and the approaches of both the criminals as well as the way the host tells the stories. Johnathan is an amazing host and does his homework, and also tells a great story!! He brings in relevant and great guests....Read full review »

Sam’s back door via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/29/24
I paid for a subscription but I still get the ads in some shows. Is that meant to happen?
Greetings from Oz via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 03/29/24
One of the very few podcasts I listen to religiously! I don’t mind the ads too much as i understand it’s a way for the creator to make an income and I can just skip over them! Thank you for this magnificent podcast, Jonathan!
thisisZabel via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 03/28/24
This is a fast paced, super interesting podcast with a great host and fantastic interviews and research. There is never a dull moment and the host is extremely likable and fun to listen to. The content is fascinating for anyone who is interested in people and how they interact with each other....Read full review »
Prasty via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/28/24
Great host. Really good stories that are well researched. But when you have 4-5 mins of ads at the beginning, middle and end, it’s a real turnoff. Some episodes are only slightly longer than the ad time. Really disappointing.
Dalspot via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 03/27/24
Update: this show is WAY better when it’s focused on lesser-known stories and regular folks. The last two seasons were about celebrities, and the stories have already been covered thoroughly, and better, elsewhere. It’s not interesting. This story is really compelling, and you definitely want to...Read full review »

I’ve listened to a couple seasons now and plan to go back and hear what I missed. It keeps my interest, which motivates me to keep cleaning, and time goes by quickly. Very well done!
northvillemom via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/26/24
I love a good story and try to look past the shortcomings. But man, does this pod make it difficulty. Between the hosts overacting and the guests overacting, it’s hard to keep listening. Additionally, every moment is played and recapped again and again.
debrahornbecker via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/26/24
Queen of the Con is such an intriguing podcast! Jonathan took a terrible situation- being conned by his supposed best friend and turned it into a platform to expose other female con artists. His reporting is impeccable. And while I feel terrible about what happened to all these poor victims that...Read full review »

Omg, I’m so excited. This is my FAVORITE podcast. Every new season gives me something to look forward to in my week. Can’t wait!
Bookeworm94 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/25/24
I have listened to every season and absolutely love Jonathan's work. If you haven't yet, listen to the first season where Jonathan tells his own story with a con queen. Excellently researched and narrated. My only issue is there are too many ads so each episode is really pretty short.Read full review »

Engaging and intriguing stories that are told in a great conversational style. Like a chat with your friend who has all the tea!

Another season off to a great start. I am really enjoying this podcast. Twists and turns. Very well done. Jonathan is a great storyteller.

ADS
Too many ads!!!
Mandyl97 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/22/24
There are way way too many ads. I think it would be a more successful podcast if there were less ads, I think there would be a lot more listeners. Great podcast though!
blop777 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/22/24
Jonathan and the staff do an amazing job putting this podcast together. I am always so excited when a new season comes out, even if I know the story already. In my opinion, Jonathan is one of the best podcasters out there and I wish he had more content, but I know he works hard to do quality work...Read full review »
