Sweet Bobby- No Spoilers! 

If after all these true crime podcasts, you still think you’re invincible to being tricked by love… this show is for you. It doesn’t hide what the story is about. In the first couple of minutes host Alexi Mostrous introduces what is catfishing on steroids. The 2021 six part series from Tortoise Media starts with Kirat Assi, a bright career-minded radio DJ whose decade long hell is the subject of this story. After a distant friend contacts her through social media, she’s slowly caught up in a deception that is unmatched. It starts slow, makes you think you know this same old story, hits you with a brick wall of truth, and leaves you with the same question as everyone else… why? You haven’t been this turned around since Hollywood Con Queen. I am being a bit vaguer than I usually am but the less you know the greater the twists will be when you listen. I will say the story isn’t just from Kirat who does a lot of the reporting herself but by family members, friends, and experts in psychology and crime. It has 4.7 average stars and 1,600 ratings. Each episode is around 40 minutes long, and there’s a bonus episode which the hosts use as a chance to respond to listener questions. Music is fitting. Content warnings for catfishing, loss, and emotional abuse. Trust me and the millions of global listeners the show has, download it.
