Episode 307: Jeff Maysh
Jeff Maysh is a freelance writer based in Los Angeles. His latest article is "How an Ex-Cop Rigged McDonald\u2019s Monopoly Game and Stole Millions."\n\n\u201cI\u2019ve always looked for stories with the theme of identity and identity theft. I\u2019m very interested in people leading double lives. All of my stories are the same in a sense. Whether that\u2019s a spy or a fake cheerleader or a bank robber or even a wrestler, someone is pretending to be someone they\u2019re not, leading a double life. I find that really exciting. I\u2019m drawn to characters who put on a disguise.\u201d\n\nThanks to MailChimp, Read This Summer, Google Play, Pitt Writers, and Coin Talk for sponsoring this week's episode.\n@jeffmaysh\nMaysh on Longform\njeffmaysh.com\n[1:15] "The Half-Time Hero" (Howler \u2022 Sep 2013)\n[1:45] "How an Ex-Cop Rigged McDonald\u2019s Monopoly Game and Stole Millions" (The Daily Beast \u2022 Jul 2017)\n[6:20] "A Catfishing With a Happy Ending" (The Atlantic \u2022 Oct 2017)\n[19:55] "America Is Bull" (Jeanne Marie Laskas \u2022 Esquire \u2022 Jan 2007)\n[27:55] Epic Magazine\n[29:50] "Behind Hollywood\u2019s A-List Bidding War for a McDonald\u2019s Monopoly Article" (Chris Lee \u2022 Vulture \u2022 Aug 2018)\n[30:30] "Elizabeth Banks To Star In & Produce Paramount Players Pic On The Day A Wyoming Hotel Maid Won A Dream Date With Prince" (Mike Flemming Jr. \u2022 Deadline \u2022 Aug 2018)\n[38:25] "The Cop Who Became a Robber" (Los Angeles Magazine \u2022 Aug 2017)\n[39:35] The Spy With No Name (Kindle Singles \u2022 2018)\n[40:30] "The Rise and Fall of the Bombshell Bandit" (BBC News \u2022 Apr 2015)\n[49:45] "The Long Fall of One-Eleven Heavy" (Michael Paterniti \u2022 Esquire \u2022 Jun 2009)\n[50:30] "Murder House" (Medium \u2022 Sep 2015)\n[53:35] "The Counterfeit Queen of Soul" (Smithsonian Magazine \u2022 Jul 2018)\n[57:55] "The Scarface of Sex: The Millionaire Playboy Who Murdered His Way to the Top of Porn" (Daily Beast \u2022 Jun 2017)\nLearn more about your ad choices.
