Great podcast with excellent story telling. The series on Tim Ballard is a must listen. His victims finally have a voice. Ballard will go down as one of the most appalling and disgusting frauds on all time.

The podcast was great with the original host, Hannah. Now the episodes are dull and lifeless. I strongly think the new host is an AI voice reading a script. Listen to the old episodes, but I'd pass on the new ones.

Always well done and interesting. However, the series on Chris Bathum is below par. Characters we meet are impossible to like or empathize with. If your subjects can't do the story without the F word every 10 seconds....find another story.

This is a great podcast- stories I haven't heard before, thorough investigations and compassionate storytelling. I highly recommend!

Description

The Opportunist tells true stories of regular people who turn sinister by embracing opportunity. How does an everyday person turn into a thief, a scammer or a cult leader? Perhaps the most dangerous person is the one who appears the most normal. Perhaps there is a dark potential lurking inside all of us that is just waiting for the right opportunity to emerge. The Opportunist is an original podcast hosted by Sarah James McLaughlin.
