Episode notes

When you started on chickley, it seems like it wasn't particularly well known who his co conspirators were. So when you picked this up and you started neading to people who'd actually interacted with chickley, where did you start? Well, we started where where i usually start, which is, like, with the court document. The french court documents are generally less extensive than what you would find in the states.

Evan Ratliff, a co-host of the Longform Podcast, is host of the new podcast Persona: The French Deception.

“One of these big scams is like a story. And in the story, what they're doing is they're manipulating you to be a participant in the story, and they're getting you so hooked that you will not just do anything they say, but you will invest yourself in bringing the story to its conclusion. And like, isn't that what you're doing if you're trying to get someone to listen to eight episodes, spend that much of their life listening to your voice? … The idea that every story has this person pulling the strings... I like revisiting that in everything that I do."
