About this episode

 

 

Inventing Anna, The Dropout, Tinder Swindler, WeCrashed, The Crypto King…

In this light-hearted episode of The Australian Finance Podcast, Kate & Owen attempt to justify their entertainment choices by drawing out five lessons we can learn from these shows about protecting ourselves from scams and investments that are just too good to be true.
