“The story is good and I can tell a lot of effort went into it is why 5 stars. But something about the way Alex talks, his nasal voice, is so distracting to me that I end up missing out on the story. So many ppl were interviewed but you don’t hear them talking for long. And every time it goes back...”Read full review »

“This shows how corrupt people can dupe the good hearted and well thinking.
Good to hear to help give a healthy scepticism and to trust gut feelings when hearing fake stories.
What I don’t get is why there wasn’t further coverage on of the son and why Father Ryan was not investigated for the...”Read full review »

“Alex takes us through a complicated story of a fake priest conman. He does a great job keeping the narrative moving forward and exposing the complexities of relationships and crimes when the conman is a “priest.”
Loved it! I highly recommend and could not stop listening.
My only tiny complaint...”Read full review »

“I really enjoy this and it captivates my attention. I am troubled with episodes randomly cutting from one audio scene to another or entirely cutting out and going to ending credits mid sentence. I’ve experienced it 3 times in 6 episodes so far. Most recently episode 6 at about 3:40 it’ll randomly...”Read full review »

“I need an update on John/Marie “investigative” team… these people cannot still be working investigators. It’s so hard to listen to!

“I also just binged all 9 episodes- mind blowing!! I have so much empathy for all of those who he wronged.- it’s crazy that the Catholic Church hasn’t done more to stop him!!!

“I just binged all 9 episodes. A story that’s hard to believe. Hard to believe that Ryan Scott has gotten away with this con for decades. Hard to believe that he’s still doing it! Well told.”

“The host established very early that Ryan Scott was a con man and never a Catholic priest yet referred to him as “Father Ryan” throughout the entire series - a distinguished title he never earned. If instead he was a fake doctor would be consistently referred to as Dr. Scott for all 9 episodes?”

“Awesome podcast… but why do you keep calling him “Father Ryan?” He’s not a priest, even by your own admission and the school that he allegedly attended?”
