  • Fun and interesting podcast!

    I love that this show explains the system that is being cheated and looks not just at how the cheat/scandal happened but also what incentives exist to lead people to cheat. It makes it more than just a perpetrator/victim analysis, and I really enjoy that it’s makes it more human.

  • You cannot lose, if you do not play…

    If the rule is broken, is cheating a moral obligation? If everyone is cheating, is it cheating? If you’re not cheating, are you trying to?

    These are questions that are the dumb and facile version of this excellent podcast. Thoughtful, irreverent, and engaging.
