History remembers the famous. It tends to lose the people in the margins — the swindlers, the hoaxers, the spectacular liars who, for a few months or a few years, mattered far more than they should have, and then didn't matter at all. This is a show about them. Every episode digs one forgotten fraud out of the old newspapers — the ones nobody reads anymore, in archives nobody visits — and asks the question the courtroom usually skipped: not how did they pull it off , but who on earth fell for it, and why did they so badly want to? I'm Wendell Marchant. I read the papers so you don't have to. The stories are true, the quotes are real, and the people are worse than you'd think. A vøiddo studio production.
