Everything Changes Today: The New Unleashed 101

Everything about this show changes today. In 1963, a man in New Jersey convinced the American banking system he owned more salad oil than existed in the entire country. The tanks were full of seawater. In 1925, a con man sold the Eiffel Tower for scrap metal, then came back months later and sold it again. In 1902, a woman walked into a Cleveland bank claiming to be Andrew Carnegie's secret daughter, with no proof at all, and walked out with the money. All of it documented. All of it true. Unleashed 101 is relaunching as a narrative investigation into the greatest deceptions in history. One complete story per episode, from origin to collapse. Host Jeremy Hanson explains why he walked away from a headline-driven format, what the new show is, and what is coming this season. In this episode: Why news-driven podcasting has a shelf life, and what replaces it The one question every episode will answer, and why it is not "what happened" Why this is explicitly not a political show The five-part pattern behind nearly every major fraud in history, and the one warning sign that never fails What twenty-five years in business teaches you about spotting manipulation instead of opportunity Why this show will never reduce a fraud to a dollar figure Coming this season: The Great Salad Oil Scandal. Charles Ponzi. Victor Lustig and the sale of the Eiffel Tower. Cassie Chadwick and the Carnegie inheritance con. Ivar Kreuger, the Match King.
