Apple TV+ Unveils Trailer for New Apple Original Podcast ‘Scamtown,’ Premiering August 26

Apple TV+ on Monday announced “Scamtown,” a new Apple Original podcast premiering August 26. The 11-part series will delve into the world of scams ranging from the bizarre to the downright unbelievable. The podcast will be narrated by the self-proclaimed mayors of “Scamtown,” Emmy Award-nominated filmmakers James Lee Hernandez and Brian Lazarte, who are known for Apple TV+’s Signal Podcast Award-winning “The Big Conn” and the Webby Award-nominated “McMillion$.”

Each episode of “Scamtown” spotlights a different scheme, mixing wild schemes, surprising heists, forbidden love and explosive moments, with stories told by both the creators and the people who lived them. From an ingenious telemarketing bust and an arsonist who sets Boston on fire, to the arrest of an Italian mob boss for olive oil and the adventures of a rare book thief, the true crime stories in “Scamtown” are stranger than fiction and full of oddities, moral ambiguities and unforgettable stories.

Apple TV+ subscribers can connect their subscription to Apple Podcasts and get access to all 11 episodes of “Scamtown” on August 26 at apple.co/Scamtown. Non-subscribers will have access to the first two episodes of the 11-episode podcast, with new episodes added weekly. “Scamtown” is an Apple Original podcast produced by FunMeter and executive produced by Hernandez and Lazarte, alongside co-executive producers Matt Kaye, Shannon Pence and Nicole Laufer.
