Scamtime, a show dedicated to poking fun at pyramid schemes, phone scams, and other hoaxes, joined the Alberta Podcast Network last month. In celebration, self-dubbed "fraud broads" Stephanie Wolfe and Karen Johnson-Diamond re-released one of their most popular episodes.

Frank and Dave - What Happened? re-visits a recorded conversation with a phone scammer and the tale of the real-life heists behind Spielberg's Catch Me If You Can. The special episode highlights both local and international scam stories, and the ridiculousness and repercussions of each situation.

Wolfe, an Edmonton-based podcaster, frequently teams up with Johnson-Diamond on projects. When the duo isn't giggling at hoaxes and ponzies, they co-host Bridging The Gap Between Generations Who Assume Things About Each Other as women in their mid-fifties. Guests as young as six and as old as 94 enlighten Wolfe and Johnson-Diamond on what the baby boomer generation might misunderstand.

Scamtime is available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, Buzzsprout, and wherever else you listen to your podcasts.

You can listen to podcast picks from Taproot on Listen Notes or Spotify.
