Scamtown Podcast Announced by Apple

Today, Apple TV+ announced Scamtown, a new Apple Original podcast premiering on August 26. This eleven-part series delves into the world of scams, ranging from the bizarre to the downright unbelievable.

Scamtown will be narrated by the self-proclaimed mayors of “Scamtown,” Emmy-nominated filmmakers James Lee Hernandez and Brian Lazarte, who are known for Apple TV+’s Signal Podcast Award winner The Big Conn and the Webby Award-nominated McMillion$.

Each episode of Scamtown highlights a different scheme, featuring a mix of wild hustles, surprising heists, forbidden love, and explosive moments, with stories told by both the creators and the individuals who lived through them.

From an ingenious telemarketing bust and an arsonist setting fire to the city of Boston to an Italian Mafia Don’s arrest over olive oil and the escapades of a rare book thief, the true crime stories in Scamtown are stranger than fiction and filled with quirks, moral ambiguity, and unforgettable tales.

Apple TV+ subscribers can connect their subscription on Apple Podcasts and access all eleven episodes of Scamtown on August 26 on Apple Podcasts here. Non-subscribers can access the first two episodes of the eleven-episode podcast, with the remaining episodes released weekly.

Scamtown is an Apple Original podcast produced by FunMeter. Its executive producers are James Lee Hernandez and Brian Lazarte. Matt Kaye, Shannon Pence, and Nicole Laufer are the co-executive producers.

Scamtown joins a growing offering of Apple TV+ Apple Original podcasts now streaming on Apple Podcasts, including the duPont-winning The Line, the Webby Award-winning Hooked, Operation: Tradebom, My Divo, The Pirate of Prague, Magnificent Jerk, Run, Bambi, Run, Wild Things: Siegfried & Roy, and Missed Fortune.
