from Why Would You Tell Me That?

This week, the lads welcome back the brilliant Dr Andrew Mackillop to tell the story of the most audacious scam in Scotland’s history.

Well, that’s just the start of the story of a man named Gregor McGregor.  Now, that said, there is a video Neil plays Dave that will forever haunt his nightmares in Part 1. The man gives with one hand and takes with the other.  To listen to Dave on the radio check out https://www.todayfm.com/shows/dave-moore-1499732   To see Neil on tour check out www.neildelamere.com/gigs Sources: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-33085031 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8XNzNlGirLo https://www.businessinsider.com/liechtenstein-billionaire-worth-half-gdp-of-entire-country-2019-12 Presented and Produced by Neil Delamere and Dave Moore Edited by Eimear Shannon and Nicky Ryan Music by Dave Moore Artwork by Ray McDonnell Hosted on Acast.
