  • Jail Time for Spencer

    Spencer Lodge is going to jail for fraud, conspiracy to commit fraud, and for stealing investment funds from hundreds of people he called “friends.” The FBI in USA is working with Dubai to put him in jail for life. If Spencer Lodge has ever offered you any financial advice or has ever pushed you into an investment please contact the FBI immediately so you can be part of this lawsuit. It’s HUGE and he cannot run from this any longer. Scam and fraud. Beware.

  • Love it!

    As an avid podcast listener, I was delighted to have stumbled across Spencer’s podcast when someone shared an episode on LinkedIn.

    It’s obvious Spencer’s questions are well planned in advance, and no amount of media training allows his interviewee to dodge his questions! 🤪

    If you like real talk, you’ll really enjoy!

  • Who needs Steven Bartlett when we have SL?

    After Khalid Al Ameri’s interview and a couple of the most recent interviews this podcast scaled my personal podcast favorites chart.

    It’s now in the top five alongside some top international names.

    Thanks Spencer for showcasing our local talents, businesses personalities and the not so famous Dubaiaites.

    I never know what I’ll find when I check my library for your show.
