This is why I enjoy non-fiction so much more than fiction — the insanity of reality always beats the craziness someone thinks up in their head!

Zoey Charlemagne

Pfffffft HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHomg I love how you describe people your nuge description was on point

Michelle Hebert

So "Jesus taught us to be armed," huh? These nuts evidently read a far different New Testament than the one I'm familiar with.

Misael A Castaneda

They found the treasure that was hidden!

Brett Hillard

Commentary on Trump and the halfwits not voting in their own self interest is dead on, hilarious and genius. Along with In the Dark this is one of the best podcasts out there

JOHAN MOLINA

As always, facts through diligent research. Thanks for your hard work.

I'm certain you're right. A lot of sexual criminals are serial offenders. A man in his position would almost certainly have no trouble discrediting his previous victims, or convincing them to stay quiet.

EFTHEMIOS GEORGALLOU

Incredible work. So well researched and scripted. Many thanks ACC.

Kathie Stuart

As an American, I don't understand it either! 😆

Dana Contini

I would not be surprised if this was just the one he got caught for. Preachers have survived more severe accusations of assault by just crying and throwing themselves on the mercy of the congregation.

Kelly O'Rourke-Hwang

Another great episode! Can't wait for the next one.

Lindsay Serio

I’m never disappointed. Well done Swindled.

Don West

Excellent work. Loved this one!

Lisa Cooper-Ardalich

As an Australian I’ve never understood why American preachers and politicians are always yelling..... On other note I’m so glad Swindled is back!!

JillyMc

This was a rollercoaster of emotions, so well put together! Incredible season, cant wait to hear more!

Ken Smith

The only decent thing he did with his life was to end it.

Swindled

I know that! I live in Texas. :)

Sean Gleason

Lol, not all of us own guns to fight the govt and we're not all rednecks. Gotta try harder than that ACC! Still in the middle of the episode! Big fan that you throw shade at everyone, that's why I love it!

Sean Gleason

I'll begin in 3, 2, 1

Aria Feliciano

Did you take a swig of Potion of Get His Ass before you recorded bc damn!! Great ep I am LOVIN this season

Miranda

/rubs hands together. This is gonna be goooooooooooooood. Thank you!!

Allyson Hohman

I knew people that went to Dan Johnson’s “biker church” and was absolutely disgusted at this as it unfolded. BTW there’s more insanity about Lanshima that you missed 😖 thanks for sh*tting on my hometown lolol

Deb Stoltzfus

Wow. No punches pulled. Love it 😄

Sim Ona

I think this was my favourite episode to date.

C

No, there is no perfect person, but being a pedo is pretty much the lowest scum sucking worst of the worst.

Marleena Garris

NO NOO "WHO ELSE IS GOING TO KEEP THE BLACK KIDS FROM JOGGING THROUGH YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD" I just choked. My heart dropped. Ah, to be Black in America. Ugh.

Amanda Heal

Oh my god this episode was brilliant. Make sure to post the hate mail you get from the Trump Cult ACC.

Marleena Garris

Intro**

Marleena Garris

WAIT WAIT WAIT is that swindled into a little different? Maybe I'm hearing things (I love the sound work)

MBA

First part: Is everyone corrupt? Second part: Are these people projecting that badly? I think I heard about this guy actually. It's disgusting how people tried to politicize his suicide when by all accounts this guy had zero credibility.

Kate

What a episode absolutely brilliant

Mischa Wik

Are these politicians/representatives vetted at all? How can a miscreant like him get away with all this shit and then go on to have a career in politics? And we all know this is not a rare case. Cough Trump cough.

Theresa

Holy shit

Jess McDee

Hoo boyy only up to the prelude but looking forward to the complaint emails from this one 😂

Kevin Xu

Whoa way to end that episode with that audio cut

Kathie Stuart

Another incredibly well written episode. I listened to "the pope's long con" a while back and I almost forgot about all the layers of duplicity in this story! If it were made up, we'd all think that it was way over the top.

Mischa Wik

Great episode. The topic made me sick to my stomach though. 🤢

Jonathan Polivka

“This year it’s sexual-harassment last year it was prejudice” no honey… It’s been all of it all of the time.

Evelyn Kile

Yay! I look forward to your every episode!

Juliet Hope slash Pangolina

What a WILD ride this one was.

Hannah (enojada tostada)

Fucking disgusting! All those people made me SICK. “Can’t we just let people do their jobs? This year it’s sexual harassment, what’s it gonna be next?” is more like “can’t these predators be able to abuse and rape young girls without getting questioned??”

Stephanie Morson

It’s funny how no one thought to look into the Pastor’s background, until an investigating reporter did. As soon as he said he was at 911, I knew he was lying!
