Hosted by Alex Schuman, a news reporter from the Midwest has been chasing Father Ryan’s story for years. Smoke Screen: Fake Priest is an investigative show about Ryan Scott, also known as Randall Stocks, also known as Ryan Gevelinger and also known by SEVEN other names.   He was a popular Priest who spent the last thirty years traveling the Midwest swindling millions of dollars out of people where he used the money to enrich himself, spend away, and declare bankruptcy whenever outed for falsifying his identity.   Only once did law enforcement officially charge him with crimes related to his church, but he managed to essentially win the case. He’s now free and working on his next con.  The craziest part is that Alex also gets an exclusive sit-down interview with Ryan himself and in it, he reveals a shocking secret.  To listen and subscribe to the show, just search for Smoke Screen: Fake Priest wherever you get your podcasts.
