And a whoop whoop to you as well good sir.

Much love.

Love this pod. Told with the right mix of candour, disgust, pace, research and humour. Regarding the July 2023 lottery episode, What a waste to have lotteries that don’t spread it out more., a win win for sure. Insane and a boiling peeve of mine. I’ve even called state lotteries to ask why and was told they thought people wouldn’t buy as many tickets if not lured by the hype of millions. Hogwash!!,, in time and reasonable PR more people would participate and more would prosper. So everyone write to whoever and even protest and get the press involved b/c this is senseless !!’ Truly!! This show is fabulous and a public service to boot and well worth supporting … Thank you for creating this C.C. and all you put into it.

The content is ok. You present everything you say as “fact” when that’s not possible, especially today. True crime cannot involve personal bias and I often separate myself from that, however, these stories are hard to find. The conspiratorial aspect of your podcast should not include your personal bias and that pushes me out. All of that said is this podcast might be delivered in one of the most annoying ways possible. When you get a topic you don’t agree with, it’s almost impossible to listen to.

honestly it doesn’t compare to any other. listen to him on a daily basis. Very good

ACC does a great job at highlighting ongoing issues in politics, and makes the episodes interesting to listen to, even if his voice is monotone. My favorite episodes are the one about Jasiel Correia and the New England Compounding Center! Keep up the great work and never stop being awesome!

THE BEST PODCAST EVER!!!!!! AND I MEAN THAT!

His sense of humor is SPOT ON 😂

This concerned citizen does his part by exposing the scumbaggery of those who pray on trust and hope all in the name of greed. He balances the depravity of each tale with sardonic humor and velvety elocution. Tell your friends and your enemies alike.

I tell absolutely everyone who will listen about this podcast. Every episode is thoroughly research and well put together. ACC is doing a true public service by shining light on these topics. ❤️ A Valued Listener

He grew on me very quickly. At first I wasn’t sure I would click with him, but his dry sense of humor and authenticity make him one of the best! Stories are great!

This is my favorite podcast. It’s well researched, has great dark humor, and at the end of the day: it’s about helping humanity. Modern day capitalism has put profits over human life and I’ve learned how much worse the problem actually is. It’s helped reinvigorate my need to help plant the seeds of change. even though ACC sounds like he’s full blown nihilist, this work is done out of empathy and compassion. It’s heavy, it’s depressing, it’s important. Real indie podcasting. F celeb podcasts.

This is a fantastic podcast. Each episode is interesting and informative. I think I’ve plowed through most of them in the past week. Thanks for your work here, concerned citizen!

Your delivery, humor, research and facts. The whole cast is A+. Thank you for your consistency and i love your long audio’s. I always recommend you first. YouDaBomb!

Nobody can tell a story like he does.

If there’s one thing this podcast illustrates, it’s that left vs right politics is a complete sham. It’s always been rich vs poor and always will be. When you wake up to that fact, the world starts to make sense. Unfortunately, at least half the country are brainwashed morons who are so easily fooled by fast talk and emotional manipulation that they love being swindled and hate anyone with self-respect.

Swindled is the first podcast I started listening to a few years back. The show is still my favorite. The episodes are engaging and well researched. I was personally affected by one of the cases featured, and when I heard the episode, I learned more than I had learned when I was involved. Thank you for your work.

The delivery, presentation and sense of humor are great but could you keep your political beliefs out of it? Or perhaps attack each side equally. Anyone who worships one side (right or left) has actually been swindled themselves by the very politicians who sold them on their empty promises. A little self awareness would help.

Standing ovation EVERY TIME!!! I just had : EVERY FREAKING TIME!! King of appropriate snark!

High quality production. Really interesting and very well executed. The best podcast I listen to hands down. The amount of time, research, and effort that is put into this podcast is unbeatable.

I don’t know if I’ve ever listened to a more boring voice. Tried it and just couldn’t get past the delivery. The host is obviously trying to be funny and failing miserably, but I guess that’s just my opinion.

I have heard so many documentaries about these posted, after you post them. My fav is the balloon stories! They should make a docuseries about it. Thanks for sharing

WHAT IS YOUR BEEF WITH THE BLACK KEYS BRO ??? 😂

Dear concerned citizen, I love your podcast, and I love you like a guy. I don’t know. I love your back stories and the research is amazing. I’m loving the dark sense of humor, it always makes me snicker. That being said, quit hating on the Black Keys! They had their time, and hopefully will make it back in the front of the bus, but just give them a little leeway, OK? Sure, I know you can. Keep doing what you’re doing! ❤️

One of the best if not the best podcast out there! CC is my hero! His dry humor and in-depth research makes my day! Keep up the good work!

I love it because I get it.

I don’t mind his flat delivery and he keeps the episodes a decent length to give enough info but not drag them out. My main problem is the rambling and throwing his political beliefs in every chance he gets.

One of the few shows i've stuck with since the beginning--the production, storytelling, and research are top notch, and the host is fantastic. Not to be missed.

I love the host, the content, the music, everything about this show. It makes me uncomfortable and makes me think about the world around me in a way I didn’t before listening to this podcast; at least not to the degree I do now. I recommend it to everyone I can. Keep it coming.

I tired to listen to a full episode but the music was unnerving. Like it feels like it’s there while they are giving background info and you expect it to stop once the real story begins but it doesn’t. Which is weird and distracting from the story. I don’t mind their voice even if it’s bit monotone at times but the music gets in the way of the story. Too bad bc these stories sound interesting.

Interesting stuff but the delivery with the monotone voice and eerie true crime music in the back is so cringe.

This is the best podcast out there in Podworld. Period.

I’m a conserned billionar.

Hi vegans. I’m here. GD it, Swindled.

I’m a fairly new listener to this podcast. I’ve really enjoyed it so far. That was, until today. I usually think trigger warnings can be a bit silly and unnecessary. HOWEVER, I had to turn the Tyson foods episode off because the sound of the pig being tortured and screaming in pain while being angrily berated by a worker made me physically ill. I’m a huge animal lover, and if I’d known there was AUDIO of animal torture, I would have happily skipped this one. Do better. One thing you should ALWAYS warn your audience about? Audio of abuse!! Unsubscribed.

Despite being subject matter I am usually super engaged in, the flat voice and unnatural diction made it so hard to listen to. I tried multiple episodes, restarted when I realized I wasn’t taking in anything the narrator was saying. I listened really closely to see if I could identify it as an AI generated voice but I really can’t tell. Maybe a different type of AI voice would be an improvement.

At first ACC's voice kind of annoyed me because his delivery is kinda flat and monotone. But now it's actually one of my favorite things about the podcast. Deadpan delivery with hints of sarcasm and killer jabs. Love it, so funny. ACC is doing a public service producing these shows. Please never stop.

I’ve been listening to Swindled for many years and The Machine episode truly changed my outlook on my, seemingly conscious, attempts to maintain an animal cruelty free lifestyle. I am super impressed with the research done to present all of the flaws in our US animal production practices and I thank you for shedding the light on areas where I can and will do better. Great podcast all around and very impactful episode for me personally. Thank you for all that you do to open your listeners eyes/minds.

The way you complain about Tyson Foods I can’t wait to hear your story on Jeff Bezos and how he ruined every small business in America and runs the most biased media

The only podcast I feel I have to listen to the minute it drops. When I listen to this….I know I’m not crazy and I’m not alone. We should question the way the world works. Swindled just proves it.

This would be five stars BUT. I’ve been listening for a long time-great show. Was thinking I should become a Valued Listener to contribute to the greatness that is this show. But after tonight I’m not so sure. *I am not a trigger warning type of person* but the Tyson Foods episode just released could have benefited greatly from a warning that there would be sounds of a very human sounding pig…screaming in pain. I was across the room and couldn’t hit pause fast enough. So thanks, now I get to go to bed with the horrifying sound in my head.

The narration style of this podcast is so unnatural that I couldn’t listen for more than a few minutes. I tried different episodes and the pronunciation was even more robotic, with oddly deliberate diction and flat inflection. I don’t think it’s an AI voice, but that almost makes it worse.

I probably won’t do a great job of explaining just how fantastic I think the podcast is. He dives deep, with recordings of events, and tells the story completely - all figures involved are scrutinized equally. It’s such a refreshing, entertaining, and educating ~1 hour. Thank you!

What a great podcast, no annoying back and forth about, just the layout of facts, peppered with a bit of deadpan sarcasm, a la Fight Club. This here dude, known only as A Concerned Citizen, reminds me of The Narrator in that aforementioned film. His voice is so mesmerizing and hypnotic that you can’t stop listening to him. He’s also done his homework and handles himself well, with sound effects and audio archives to match the quality. Keep up the good work, Concerned Citizen!

Very well researched, excellent narration. Always enjoyable to listen to Loved hearing Jack Luna in your Swindled Valued Listener commercial. Fun surprise!

Outstanding, unique, and above all important as it’s the ONLY podcast that explores so-called white collar crime! Swindled is easily in the top three of “true crime” podcasts in terms of the quality of production, the precise and elegant writing, the engaging storytelling, soundscape, superb use of real audio clips including archival material, etc. The episodes feature superbly researched accounts of “white collar” crimes — though these quite frequently include the usual panoply of murder, kidnapping, etc. And the narrator is fantastic — “Concerned Citizen” is very wry and takes to task the appalling figures in these stories with a serious yet also (when appropriate) hilariously sarcastic tone. Swindled also covers stories that won’t be overly familiar or that you’ve ever heard of and there are NO episodes covering the same repetitive garbage that clutters the majority of true crime podcasts (no serial killers etc).

I love this podcast! It’s so well researched and he weaves the information together to keep it interesting.

I enjoy most of the shows but I’m not crazy about the abrupt endings.

Very well done. Host is serious yet has a sense of humor.

I was so happy to see that a new season of Swindled was out. This is one of my favorite podcasts. Well written and I love the host’s dry sense of humor.
