Don't You Know Who I Am?: The Hollywood Con Queen
For good or for bad, Hollywood is the land of promises and illusion. Getting the right phone call at the right time can make a career...or it can drain a bank account. The Hollywood Con Queen convinced aspriring stars that fame and fortune were within their reach, with the payment of some fees. But like most cons, it all came crashing down, this time in an ending full of Tinseltown twists. And it wouldn't be a true Hollywood episode without a celebrity cameo, now would it?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

All Along the Watchlist: Crimes of the Woodstock Generation
In a star-studded episode of Sixties outrageousness, ride along with Jimi Hendrix and Neil Young, catch flight with the band Canned Heat, party with at least half of the Beach Boys, and hit up Nixon's White House with Grace Slick of Jefferson Airplane. It's a fun-filled, LSD-tinged, madcap romp through America's most ridiculous era. "Turn on, tune in, and drop out"... but don't miss this comic chaos that could only happen for the Woodstock Generation.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's a (Crime) Family Affair: Shaun Greenhalgh
Rejected by the art world, Shaun Greenhalgh needed an outlet for his incredible talent. Guess what? Crime was the perfect opportunity for such a thing.

Let Me Stand Next to My Fire: Zaron Burns Down a Hillside
Before he was charming the Rude Dudes with tales of silly capers, heists, and cons, Zaron was a house painter. But not just any old house painter. He worked on high end projects with meticulous care. Except for that one time he became an accidental arsonist. Oops.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hot Rocks: The Green Vault Heist
In Dresden, Germany, an incredible trove of precious gems is on display in Dresden Castle's Green Vault. They've been there for hundreds of years, save a brief moment when a crime family lifted them and made a run for it. Some made it home, others weren't so lucky. Maybe those jewels will return someday. Hope, like crime, springs eternal.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

ZZ Top and the Zombies: A Great American Long Con
Before they grew long beards and a mustache and formed ZZ Top, two of the bandmates, drummer Frank Beard and bassist Dusty Hill, were once in a traveling band that was created as a blatant cash grab. Much like Los Beatles Americanos (remember them?), an impostor band was formed to pull some artistic identity theft and the future members of ZZ Top were only too happy to play along. It's like some folks like to say, "Hey man, it was the '60s!" And all of it was ridiculous!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's an Honor to Rob a Bank: Lucio Urtubia
He fought for freedom, not just for his native Spain but for oppressed people worldwide. With his strong believe that, "the keystone of existence is doing right by one's neighbor," his subversive tactics used the tools of system against itself: fake passports and counterfeit cash. Oh, and phony traveler's checks, which is how he ran afoul of one of the largest banks in the world. But leave it to Lucio to get the last laugh.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
