Well hello, everyone!
\n
\nWe recorded this episode a few days after we returned from Obsessed Fest \u201823. \u2026 Though it\u2019s probably more accurate to say that we recorded this episode a few days after we *fled* Obsessed Fest \u201823. Eh, tomayto, tomahto.\xa0
\n
\nWe talk about Obsessed Fest quite a bit in this episode, but if you\u2019d like more information about what happened, we have two recommendations:\xa0
\n
\nFirst, we recommend listening to the latest episode of the podcast One Dry Kiss. Their episode, \u201cObsessed Mess, Mischief MisManagement and Amazing People and Podcasters,\u201d is a firsthand account of what the weekend was like for attendees.\xa0
\n
\nSecond, we recommend listening to the latest episode of Rabia and Ellyn Solve the Case, titled, \u201cAbout Damn Crime: Obsessed Fest.\u201d In that episode, Ellyn Marsh, Rabia Chaudry, Joey Taranto, Maggie Freleng, Daisy Eagan, Amber Hunt, Harris Lane and Ashleigh Gibson share their experiences from the weekend. If you like receipts, this is the podcast for you.
\n
\nBy the way, if you listen closely to this episode, you might hear Kristin cover a timber swindler. It\u2019s a troubling story about a man named Ralph Raines, who was exploited by a \u201cpsychic\u201d named Rachel Lee. Over the course of ten years, Rachel took nearly everything Ralph had.
\n
\nAnd now for a note about our process. For this episode, Kristin read a bunch of articles, then spat them back out in her very limited vocabulary. We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the real experts who covered these cases.
\n
\nIn this episode, Kristin pulled from:
\n\u201cPsychic Fiend\u2019s Network\u201d episode of American Greed
\n\u201cSweetheart Swindle\u201d episode of 20/20

\n\u201cDaughter of Oregon psychic pleads guilty to helping bilk millions from Gaston tree farm heir,\u201d by Everton Bailey Jr. for The Oregonian
