	Description:		This week on Podcast Playlist, stories about cons artists and sordid scams. First, we'll meet Dr. Ronald Dante. To clarify, he’s not an actual doctor. He was a talented hypnotist during the 1980s and 1990s. With that power, he hypnotized women out of their money. We'll hear how he swindled a Hollywood starlet out of her fortune. Then, Sam Bankman-Fried was a young billionaire who became the trusted face of crypto. He was one to watch thanks to his trading platform FTX. He won over celebrities, politicians, and Silicon Valley. But in an instant, his empire came crashing down ... The Naked Emperor, a new four-part series from CBC News' Front Burner and CBC Podcasts, tells that story. Plus: When Kitty started using dating apps, she found herself talking to so many scammers. Instead of ignoring them, she decided to scam them back.
