If you wanted to speak to a loved one who had passed to the other side in 1970s America, you might have sought the services of Reverend Lamar Keene. He and his partner ‘Raoul’ had a devoted following of spiritualists who believed Lamar was a genuine conduit to the spirit world. Turns out he was a total fake! Listen now to hear Michelle’s look at Lamar’s life and lies (thank you, BBC, for the excellent podcast Fake Psychic!) – and his ties to what he called a Psychic Mafia…

Geordie follows with a look at the pressures of the music industry starting with BoyZone and Ronan Keating, which comes off the back of a newly released documentary about the boyband. What she uncovers is an uncomfortable reality that includes toxic press, unscrupulous managers, scandals, homophobia – alongside tangents that include Taylor Swift being an agent for the devil, P Diddy, Beyonce, She Knows, conspiracy theories, baby groupies and more. Listen now!

So pop on your headphones, grab a brown lemonade and join Geordie & Michelle for this week’s episode, plus chit-chat about the 80s, telly recs and more, only on Eavesdroppin’ podcast. And remember, wherever you are, whatever you do, just keep Eavesdroppin’!

The post 7: SCAMS & SCANDALS: Fake psychic Lamar Keene, plus music-industry scandals and conspiracies: Boyzone, Diddy, Beyonce and more… appeared first on Eavesdroppin' Podcast.

What if someone told you they could help you fulfil your dreams, achieve your career goals AND make you a better person? This week, Michelle looks at Lighthouse, a self-help group that offered mentoring to people that was meant to help you realise your true potential and become a success in life and business – except it was actually a cult. Listen now to find out what reeled people in – and what happened when they tried to get out…

Geordie looks at a one of the most hard-to-believe scams that happened in the late 90s and early 2000s… Imagine you’re a manager at a fast-food chain and the police call telling you that one of your members of staff has stolen money from a customer and needs to be strip searched immediately. Yep – that’s the gist of it, and saddest of all, people fell for the scam and countless women were traumatised by strip searches and more.Listen to hear more!

So pop on your headphones, grab a brown lemonade and join Geordie & Michelle for this week’s episode, plus chat about MAFS Australia, avalanche deaths, a startling voice note from one of our Eavesdroppers and more, only on Eavesdroppin’ podcast. And remember, wherever you are, whatever you do, just keep Eavesdroppin’!
