THE BEST DUO?!
EXCLUSIVE: Apple is creating an original podcast with a new focus on scams.
The tech company, which runs its original podcast business through its Apple TV+ division, is launching Scamtown from James Lee Hernandez and Brian Lazarte, the directors of the HBO docuseries McMillion$ and Apple's The Big Conn.
Scamtown will investigate a different scam in each episode with a mix of wild hustles, surprise heists, forbidden love, and explosive moments, with stories told by both the creators and the people who lived them. These include telemarketing scams targeting seniors, an arsonist who sets the city of Boston on fire, the downfall of the Italian mafia over olive oil, and the adventures of a rare book thief.
