“What a tragic story of how someone could do something like this. Good host and fun interviews. A bit confusing at first but there are some really good characters, and it’s fun to see how it plays out even if you know what’s going to happen in early episodes. Heartbreaking to hear how betrayed...”Read full review »

“I loved this podcast, the prospective of the stepdaughter, and the babysitter are what intrigued me the most. It was heart wrenching to hear the stepdaughter talk about what she was going through. The Ex wife and babysitter, these people Amanda, took from them, emotionally and financially. Thanks...”Read full review »

“So fascinating and alarming. I cannot imagine that level of selfishness. And to everyone complaining about “too repetitive”, the facts of the case, the multiple victim interviews, and the twists and turns bear repeating to recap events. Also, how can we know the “why” when Amanda won’t say it? It...”Read full review »

“Your reporting is brilliant, I love this podcast. I think the most important takeaway that nobody is acknowledging is that Alita INVITED a pretty 17 year old girl into her home… and allowed her to get close to her husband and child. Then this girl got between them and ruined her life. Be careful...”Read full review »

“Loved the podcast! I know there are so many people out there struggling with significant mental illness and I’m still shocked by how this happens. I hope you do a follow up podcast on all my burning questions including if she’s been diagnosed with a sociopathic/ narcissistic disorder.”

I remember vaguely hearing about this particular story in the news and thought wow that’s terrible but this podcast brings another dimension to it. Thank you to people like Nancy and...”Read full review »

“Repetitive, occasionally difficult to follow, and poorly edited: This podcast could’ve had the same effect in two episodes. TL;DR: Find a reddit post and bypass this podcast.”

“Thanks Charlie and Nancy. What an investigation and telling of what Nancy found. I appreciate that you did not diagnose the perpetrator butI think it’s fair to say this person is highly narcissistic. The betrayal and is appalling.”

Why did Amanda do things things and how exactly did she do it. I think weaving some of that through the podcast would have been...”Read full review »

“It’s an insane story and I remember when it happened. (Local story) But was not worth 8hrs of my time listening. Very repetitive. Too much build up from too many accounts. Downfall doesn’t happen until chapter 6ish. And even then, you jump back in time to more repeat of info. Just look it up,...”Read full review »

“I really loved this podcast. It was very well done. It was not too many episodes. So many podcasts have nine or 10 episodes when they really should’ve stopped at five or six. Also, the bonus episodes were really quite good. I was surprised. I don’t usually listen to them because they’re usually...”Read full review »

“When you name your podcast Scamanda and then it takes you a few episodes to even get to the point. Don’t pretend like we don’t all know going in that she’s scamming everyone.

“Amanda C. Riley is absolutely vile. First, she marries the father of her childhood friends, then she takes Jessa away from her mother, and then she makes a blog to get money. Cory is so mean to his other daughter. She is the worst woman alive.”

“Story grabs you and is frankly unbelievable, but after 3 eps I just wanted to know the outcome and stop wasting my time with the waffle. Way too many eps, not great journalism - a bit like those trashy magazines and Netflix true crime stories.”
