Oh My Fraud
"Oh My Fraud" is a podcast where the true crime is shocking, gruesome, heinous, but with way fewer dead bodies. Hosted by Caleb Newquist, each episode explores fraud cases from petty swindles to corporate conspiracies, examining the people involved, their motives, methods, and how they spent the loot before it all came to a spectacular, inevitable end.

Rewarding customer loyalty is probably as old as commerce. These days, consumers accumulate hundreds, thousands, sometimes even millions of points that can be used to acquire everything from their favorite drink, to airline tickets, or simply pay a balance on a credit card. The fact that these rewards have an intrinsic value is something many easily forget about, making them a great target for fraud.

Caleb knew that if he could get Becca Platsky, the co-host of the Corporate Gossip Podcast, to come on Oh My Fraud, that they would have a lot to talk about. Becca and Caleb learn that they are kindred spirits, discussing their experiences not only as scorned CPAs, but as earnest gossip merchants.

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
