Con men (or women) and their schemes have drawn interest from the public since their inception, but the victims behind their actions almost always wish they had never gotten involved. Today’s show subject, Anna Delvey, pulled the wool over the eyes of many and lived a life most folks could only dream of – all on other people’s dime. But does this flimflam women stack up to the greats or was she just a low-level liar that got the right people’s attention? We’ll dive into this and much more on this episode of AHC Podcast.

Kevin Spacey

To quote Irish writer, Darren Shan, “Destiny is a tower of cards - nudge one just an inch and everything stacked on top comes crashing down.” Kevin Spacey had the world in the palm of his hand, winning multiple prestigious awards, headlining box office hits, and walking red carpets everywhere. But when one brave victim of Spacey’s predatory behavior came forward, his house of cards came crashing down. Was it something in Spacey’s childhood that sparked his salacious behavior? All the stories that have come out seem to have a common theme, but do they all have merit? Will Spacey make a return to the big screen or will this be the last we see of the American Beauty star? We’ll dive into this and much more in this episode of AHC Podcast.
