“I thoroughly enjoyed the show but Kast is an extremely unethical company. Look it up. It’s sad to know that Hannah didn’t own this podcast because she did such an amazing job putting it together. It deserves 5/5 but potential listeners should know what’s going on”

“I love this podcast. I enjoy listening to well investigated stories about true crime, including murders, scammers and impostors. The title of this podcast, “The Opportunist”, conveys the journalistic attitude and integrity of Hannah Smith and her team. Rather than sensationalist story dumping...”Read full review »

“I never leave reviews on podcasts, but this show is just so so good. Hannah and her producers do an incredible job of telling the full story in an honest and respectful way. All of the seasons are very well done and meticulously produced, but the Aubrey Lee Price season is really what prompted me...”Read full review »

“This podcast is class. I’ve listened to tonnes in this genre, and this is the most consistent in terms of presentation and subject matter.
Also cool that one of yous is a fellow Dalgleish. Not many of us, even over here in Scotland!

“From what I understand Hannah Smith never actually owned this podcast and it has been sold. :( The recent podcast published on 4.8.24 is an old episode. Follow Hannah Smith for her new projects! I have no idea how to actually rate this now. It was my favorite podcast and would have rated it 5/5,...”Read full review »

“I adore this podcast. But Kast Media owes the listeners an update about what’s going on. No new episodes in months and apparently the host won’t be returning? To just disappear with no explanation is so strange. The show’s supporters deserve better than this.”

“I’m very selective in my listening. I’ve never written a review of a podcast, but I’m persisting through all the “taken” nicknames to find a unique one, so I can send this review. The Opportunist is excellent. The stories are well researched, told by Hannah Smith without sensationalism or...”Read full review »

“I enjoy listening to this podcast, but find it rarely gives a good conclusion. You want to know what happened to the con artist, but it leaves you without much of an answer. The Candace Clark episode just stopped abruptly. I had to google it to find out what happened with her. There needs to be...”Read full review »

“Hannah is an amazing storyteller and The Opportunist has been revealing true stories about fraud, scams, criminal actions and why we trust who we do - for reasons not particularly rational at times. Beautifully woven narratives well researched and well-told. Kudos!!!”

“Okay, so I should preface this by saying that I only listened to one story … the Chris Bathum story of Season 4, I think. Anyway, the story itself was good, well-done & everything (hence the 3-star rating ⭐️⭐️⭐️), BUT it had WAY too many ads … And they all SO badly placed, too … Like right in...”Read full review »

“This is an excellent show but there are a ridiculous amount of commercials. I just skipped past over four minutes of ads at the beginning. Then after listening for maybe one minute, there was another break for ads. I would rate this 5 stars if the ads weren’t so long.”

You want to know … but it is pretty...”Read full review »

“This show is produced under the umbrella of Kast Media, the ‘alter ego’ of Colin Thomson. Thomson is the Bernie Madoff of podcasts. He made off with Jim Cornette and Brian Last’s money, plus many others. Look him up. It ain’t pretty…”

“Sometimes true crime podcasts fail to remind listeners that the people involved in the circumstances are human. This deep dive into what happens when opportunity turns sinister continuously makes that a focus. I’ve only listened to the first episode but look forward to listening to all of them.”
