Hello, delicious friends and welcome to Who Did What Now, the history podcast that's not your history class,

with me your host, Katie Charlwood, History Harlot and reader of Books. So over the last few months on the podcast,

I have chosen a specific theme for that month and then made, you know, episodes related to that

theme. And correspondingly on the social media is correspondingly a word. don't think it is anyway I've been I've been doing that

and for November as it's my birthday month it's actually my birthday this week at time of recording release

and I was like let's do like one theme per week. It'll be really fun,

stuff that I really love. And so this week, we are focusing on cons. I love cons so much.

I think they're so fascinating and interesting, like from like a sociological and from a

psychological perspective.

And sometimes they're just silly and fun. And sometimes they're just a little bit too good to be

true. Anywho, I have actually been quite unwell the last few days and I haven't been able to

finish writing this week's episode. But I thought, let's do a little encore.

And for those of you who haven't heard the story of Frank Abagnale Jr., well, why don't you enjoy this this time?

And I know what you're thinking you're thinking Katie please take your medicine

and quit your jabber jabber and also fact me and fact you eye well but first we've got to get

our source on our sources are catch me if you can by Frank Abagnall Jr.

The greatest hoax on earth.

Catching truth, well we can.
