About this listen

In our last full-sized episode, Scotty told the story of a real-life psychopath who inspired a notorious television character. Well, this week Amelia has her own tale of a notorious criminal mastermind who gave birth to a TV scammer.

Fans of HBO's "The Guilded Age" may not know that one of its characters is inspired by "the Queen of Ohio" Cassie L. Chadwick--aka Elizabeth Bigley--who around the turn of the 20th century perpetrated one of the most audacious cons in American history. Buckle up, because this one's a real doozy.

WARNING: Mild spoilers for "The Guilded Age."
