Fool Me Twice is a sharp, funny, and revealing podcast where deception takes centre stage. Former detective and human lie detector Stephen van Aperen joins forces with comedian Brad Oakes to unpack the strange, serious, and sometimes hilarious ways lies shape our lives. Together, they explore real-life stories where truth and fiction blur, from notorious crimes to everyday fibs, blending sharp analysis with a sense of humour that cuts right through the B.S.
Because let’s face it, lying touches everything.
