Booking Overview

A host-led, researched comedy show about business scams, scandals, and legal or ethical shenanigans, with occasional external guests—typically accessible musicians, artists, or creative collaborators who help make a case entertaining. Agencies could credibly pitch working creatives, performers, and professionals with a compelling connection to fraud, copyright, finance, or corporate misconduct; booking difficulty is very low because the show favors approachable contributors rather than highly prominent experts.

Why do we have to pay exorbitant fees for samples? Can you own a chord progression? Will Christian or Ariana play a piano riff accurately enough to get this episode taken down for copyright issues? If you're listening to this episode, they lost... The central fo...

August 19, 2025

Terrible Portraits artist and longtime cherished friend Jacob Ryan Reno comes to make Hedge Fund Management ENTERTAINING AS ALL HELL! If you don't know this story, I highly encourage you to go in blind like Jacob did, because I fear I totally gagged him at the main climax of the story.
