I'm Sam Mullins, the host of Camillion, Dr. Dante.

The legend of Dr. Ronald Dante spans decades.

A stage hypnotist and not a real doctor,

Dante got to start playing the smoke-filled nightclubs

of 1960s Hollywood, where he'd rub shoulders with the A-list,

and eventually tied the knot with one

of the biggest movie stars in the world.

But it was his career as a con man that was most unbelievable.

He made millions on the self-help craze of the 80s and 90s,

ruthlessly took out a hit on arrival

and founded one of the largest fake universities in history.

On the upcoming season of Camillion, Dr. Dante,

I tracked Dante through the yacht clubs, prison cells,

trailer parks, and theme parks

to uncover the incredible true story of the greatest con man

you've never heard of.

Subscribers to the binge can hear the entire series,

ad-free, right now.

Otherwise, listen weekly wherever you get your podcasts.
