Love this podcast! Love, love, love!.

Really enjoy all the tangents that are investigated but can still be connected to the main story. If the host finds something interesting in all his interviews, he is not afraid to get more curious about it and it makes for some great podcasting.

Way too many ads

Very entertaining and informative. Shocking to think someone can switch up your phone in seconds. On the edge of my seat . Loved the nutty Brazilian butt girl. These people are shameless and disgusting and NEED TO BE BROUGHT DOWN!!!

Johnathan is so good! If you haven’t listened yet you are missing. These stories are just so crazy. You won’t believe what you are hearing. Yet it is all real. Thank you Johnathan and Queen of the Con team! Amazing potcast

Why are you interviewing security and totally defending the girl and her bf who were stealing for her? She was a con and obviously a drug addict and you were saying cause she got kicked out of her house when she was 18 you should be understanding? He has no journalistic integrity and this story is lame cause he didn’t get a story of her capture. No research done.

There’s way too many ads now. The newest season was very drawn out when it could’ve been 1-2 episodes.

I also love Craigslist. Got my husband and dog from there too! Love queen of the con such a fun show.

Love this, the host is so funny and I love hearing about all these female con artists, go girl, haha jk

Yes the commercials are wild, fast forward. Everyone has to pay the bills. My issue is with the Michelle Mack season and Jonathan’s absolute glee while interviewing the loss prevention officer, after having also listened to the harrowing stories of people who may be in difficult circumstances. It was gross and lacked empathy. Every season since the first has lacked the same quality. Once no longer connected to the story (and I hate that word because it was his LIFE!!), the storytelling has suffered from a lack of intimacy and vulnerability. You can hear it in the vocal style and pedantic writing.

Jonathon is a fun and very talented podcaster. He’s an investigative journalist with a great sense of humor. I have listened to all five seasons of Queen of the Con and am now following season six “California Girls” which is in progress. Very entertaining.

If you like listening to a lot of ads, and I mean a lot, the show is for you. The episodes are filled with fluff material to make them go longer, and the commercial breaks are insanely long. Will not be finishing the series.

Interesting story, but the show didn’t keep my interest throughout the episodes. I also didn’t like how the host kept going on rabbit trail. I didn’t appreciate the profanity, either. Unnecessary to add f-bombs and Christ’s name in vain throughout. It makes the host appear very unprofessional.

This guy takes a story that could be told in one 40-minute episode and stretches it into eight with side quests that are only somewhat relevant. The smallest details are beaten over and over again to pad the episode, and the conversations with his producer are so forced and irrelevant. When he went on and on about half the wedding cake going missing in the Michelle Mack season, I had to turn it off and give up. Interesting stories made insipid and overwrought.

Can’t even continue. More than half the of the episodes are ads. So. Many. Ads.

Each season gets better and better. Also Jonathan does an amazing job narrating the show. His voice sounds excited and sincere.

Jonathan is the best! Love his conversations with Evan too. The toupe dripping sweat had me cracking up!

past seasons were great, but this new season about michelle mack lacks substance. it’s clear he doesn’t have much to say about this story. it was unbelievable how long he talked about his toupee in the last episode. also, major elitist undertones, and it’s giving “i was wronged by a woman once so now all i talk about is how evil and conniving women are.”

Way too many commercials and repetition

Podcast is very well researched and entertaining but there are more ads than content. So while I enjoyed the season I don’t think I’ll listen to another.

Every season gets better and better!

This is a must listen to podcast. Jonathan is hysterical and he and his friend Evan… they play off of each other so well. Jonathan tells great stories…it’s so entertaining and he gets to talk about a bunch of idiots! Bring on more seasons!

One of my favorite podcast.. He is so entertaining.. I love to listen while I workout!!! I'm so sorry for anyone these cons happen to

This guys the best

I love every season!

I like this podcast but the ratio of ads to actual show time is the most skewed of any show I have ever listened to. Why does this show have SOOOOOOOOOO many ads??? Seriously makes me want to stop listening.

I have listened to this podcast since it started and I love the stories. But the commercials this season take up more time than the actual content.

Listening to the host talk to the professional shoplifter was infuriating. Not sure how a journalist can just accept her story hook line and sinker but her excuses and justifications don’t make any sense. He never challenges her at all. It’s absurd.

Love this podcast so much but do not understand why he feels the need to insert his laughter! It’s like a laugh track at this point!! Please, we don’t need to hear you laugh to understand that you’re connecting with the person being interviewed.

I love this podcast. The stories are so good, engaging, and well researched. I’ve gotten friends and family hooked on it too.

Had to stop. Too many.

Johnathan - you are such a great podcast host! I’m glad you found your perfect niche in production! You were born to do this! Love your work- voice, style, production, all of it!

Love love love your reporting!

I hate all the added audio asmr. So unnecessary. It’s made it unlistenable. Too bad because the story is good.

Talking to a single shoplifting criminal changes your whole perspective on shoplifting/stealing?! No wonder you were conned. And it’s not victimless. Grow up and put some actual time into your research and episodes

It’s not just all the ads (seriously, ads make up at least half of every episode). I feel like the podcaster is looking for scammers in a really predatory way, and then barely hiding the details of what they do and where they do it. Unfollowing.

But toooo many ads

I am so surprised you’re letting the shoplifter get away with suggesting shoplifting is a lesser crime than identity theft… They’re both wrong and have a huge impact on our society and financial system. Who do you think pays more for clothing and other items because so much is stolen… The consumer!

Literally wanted to love this show, but there’s maybe 10-15 minutes of ads per show and it made me feel crazy and also lose track and interest in the show itself. I can’t with this format. Also I agree with the sexist comments. It’s not just sexist in the normal male privileged ever day kind of way, he seems to laugh at the struggles women have. Kinda made me sick.

I even subscribed but even then the ads remained for this show. 3 minutes is far too long at the BEGINNING of the episode.

Season 6 - You talk to 1 little blonde hair white girl and now you have compassion for shoplifters. Talk to some other shoplifters and have the same energy when you hear their stories.

Love this pod, it’s always interesting, but good lord please turn the music down a little. It’s hard to hear the interviews.

An interesting podcast but way too many commercials. I get that you need to monetize these but good grief! I wonder how many people were just schooled on how to pickpocket. Victimless crime? Who do you think ends up paying for all this loss?

Love the show but soooooo many commercials. My finger gets sore from pressing the skip button so much.

And there are a million commercials bc burning witches sells. He even claims “reverse sexism” and laments that too many people believe women several times.

So excited for the new season!! Thank you for continuing to tell these stories! You do such a great job telling them!

I know it’s going to be a good day when I see a new Queen of the Con episode in my podcast feed! I’m constantly listening to podcasts as I go about my day, and this is one of my favorites. Jonathan is an incredible host and storyteller, and he makes every episode fun and engaging (which is a rarity in the true crime genre!).

Love, love, love this podcast! Johnathan is incredible delivering these crazy, unimaginable stories. Highly recommend.

I love this podcast!! Every episode has me on the edge of my seat!! Keep making more !

So I loved this podcast from the start, but season 6 looks to be the best yet. Can’t wait for the next release!!
