The 17th, I'll be waiting and I'm about that book club action.

Nae

Boooooo to that one guy. The irony of him trying to swindle you 🥴

Britiny Stofen

Bummer about listener stories, but I totally understand! You should consider an episode (or a partial) for the Hyundai + Kia TikTok Thefts that happened last year. Personally, my vehicle was stolen TWICE from the same lot within 4 months. Mere weeks before my wedding so that was a lot to deal with. Oh, and they never caught the people responsible. Even after my car was found the second time there was no justice served. Luckily the nationwide settlement process has started and looks like there will be more decisions made in May of this year.

MetalMatt

This was "Jolly Fine", I can't wait for the psychic induced revolution...I hope it's sparky! 🤣

MetalMatt

Jus calm TF down ACC, go to the gym or church, everything's gonna be fine...🤣🤣

Sam

Book club please! I upgraded my membership just to keep this show going as long as possible ❤️

Acon Cernczyn

Voting yes for book club! I think it would also give me weird dreams, which is also great.

Astrid Eglitis

NO! No losing confidence! You are a clear, sane, hilarious voice in this world of crazy!

Acon Cernczyn

Just my 2 cents but you are doing ethically sound fact based Investigative Journalism. The setup is interesting and edgy, but the core is sharp, accurate and cutting investigative journalism. Love this podcast. I laughed out loud at "you're so full of.. wisdom" LMAOOO

Dani Whitaker

I vote yes for the book club. 100%

rick davis

I skipped ahead during the psychic reading. It was lazy, bruh.

Rebecca Oprish

YES, book club! NO. no quitting!!! You are the only thing in my life I look forward to, as pathetic as that sounds.

Jess

love this psychic with the music, this is like if a yenta (complimentary) was on godspeed you! black emperor... also you DO seem like a Libra

Jane Blackbird

Yes, book club! Let’s get started!!!😁

I was literally telling a friend that the psychic call ended up sounding like a Godspeed song. She had the same accent as the "they don't sleep on the beach anymore" guy and everything.

Jeffrey A Brady

Excellent. ACC, I feel for you and the malaise that can set in after great accomplishments. Your research is second to none, your truth telling is bold and unflappable, and continually topping your prior achievements is an impossible goal that will burn you out - we wouldn't want that! I hope you find some recharge time, and I hope that whatever is next (fingers crossed forore Swindled!) is an energy giver rather than an energy taker. Thanks for all you do wiith Swindled.

April Spisak

Terrific episode. You reading me books would be a dream. I appreciate you so much, and I am grateful for all of the episodes you have done.

Charlotte

sorry that you are feeling unmotivated -we love your work and i’m looking forward to march 17th!

Denise Legere

hey, acc! every podcast can be a sleep aid. many ppl fall asleep to pods, radio, tv, etc, ya know? doesn't mean they don't go back and listen to what they missed or have already heard the ep. im a big fan of radio, since i was a little kid. but if i missed a broadcast, it was likely lost to me forever. pods are the best not only bc the content is great but bc they're available to listen on demand. that's really special to me. btw, i could never snooze to swindled. in spite of ur soothing voice, your content is just too interesting/enlightened/enlightening/enraging 😁

Kingfisher

Gimme that Bakker min 🥵

Kingfisher

And I'm for the book club!

Chloe Bren

Yes please! Read away

Anjelina

You will make a great narrator! Read away and great episode. Your work is appreciated.

Lisa Doering

acc - out of the many, many, many podcasts I’ve listened to, yours is the only one I’ve ever subscribed to. Your excellent research and storycrafting create a treasure in every episode. I understand that you might be feeling ready to look at something different after all the incredible work that you’ve done, and whatever that is, I’m sure it would be just as wonderful. But selfishly, I hope you decide to continue this - your stories are a huge part of our family discussions! xoxo another concerned citizen

Sally Lettieri

📕📘📗Book Club! Yes!! 📗📘📕

Lylah Marlow

Very much in favor of book club!

Amie Redman

The Bad Human Book Club sounds incredible. I am a fellow Libra and your voice is super soothing. I can’t even imagine how heavy it gets to learn the things you have learned for our behalf. Whatever you do going forward will be a good thing.

Kath MC

I vote YES to book club

Traci

Voting for book club!!! And also, thanks for the psychic post. Always wondered what those hotlines were like but never would spend the money. I was recruited by Madam Emerald to be a phone psychic when I first moved to LA. Thankfully got a real job first.

Nate

Book club! 🤙🏼🤙🏼

Pardina Samson-fessale

I'd love a book club! Also if you want any kind of help with writing or research, I'd be more than happy to help a fellow Libra!

Pam Ferguson

I mean it an a compliment that your voice soothes me to sleep. I listen once to hear the whole story and then can listen at bedtime to go to sleep. No other podcast holds my attention so well ( except for the monkey one that made my hair stand on end)

AR

Honestly this psychic was mostly just giving free advice without any psychic stuff at all until the end. She could have stopped at "join a union" and it would have been only about as shady as a shady Talkspace session 😂 ACC, i have been listening to you for years now and i have to say: I'm really grateful for your podcast. Idk what your personal situation is, obviously, but I've "lost" a bunch of podcasts lately because the podcast industry is so fickle, or because the hosts have succumbed to burnout, life changes, and/or weird trumplandia extremist redpill ideology stuff that's wrecked the hosting dynamic. (!!) Just the fact you have stayed so consistent and committed to your work for so long (and aren't secretly stanning David Icke or something) is a gift, and i appreciate it so much. It's so hard to stay reliable and motivated in this era we're in. You don't ever have to apologize for taking time off, or for cutting back, or for switching gears and trying something new, or for retiring the podcast altogether if that's what you need. The important thing is you're not alone, you have given us all so much (I've learned so much from this show it's unreal), and you have every reason to feel confident and proud of your work and all you've accomplished. Please take things easy if you need to, and know what a valued speaker you are to so many people. And yes please to book club!

Andrea Johnson

Hahaha! The psychic said a lot more unbonkers stuff than I was expecting.

MLR

You're doing great, ACC. 👍 Even if it's not feeling fresh, it's not sounding stale either. You've got a winning formula for getting these stories out to other concerned citizens. Maybe taking more frequent breaks would help. Or a longer hiatus to refesh and come back stronger. This is not easy subject matter to be carrying around for prolonged periods.

Nico H

Book Club for sure! Thanks for the updates both about yourself and some of the subjects. Creasing up at Nicholas Alahverdian Arthur Knight's kecks falling down!

Jane S

You are the best. You do all the research and you present the stories in an absolutely gripping way, and you don't indulge in uneducated speculation, which is the thing that is sure to make me unfollow a podcast. Your voice is soothing in the respect that you don't hype your stories with shrieks and giggles, yet you're the one who can make me laugh out loud by virtue of a well chosen word, or an intonation that is the verbal equivalent of cocking an eyebrow. Next time you need career advice or reassurance, call me. I'll talk you through it for free, and I'll be wearing my All My Homies Died In Captivity t-shirt while I do it.

Jacqueline Howard

Yes to the book reading/commentary idea! Thanks for all your hard work.

Alice McFarlane

ACC, there's something in your voice that worries me... I hope the clouds blow over for you soon ❤️

Nicci Noo

I really wasn't expecting anti-capitalist, pro-union psychic but she gave much of the same advice my expensive therapist with multiple legit qualifications has given me in the past. I kind of love her. Like many other VLs, Swindled was my first Patreon subscription because I think you're bringing crucial information to the public and doing a great job at it. I hope you can keep producing the show and I'm happy to keep supporting your work, even if you have to slow your pace, change things up, or take a break to look after yourself.

Alexandra Williams

ACC- I never was interested in podcasts before Swindled and you are still my favorite to this day. What you do compared to most others in the podcast game feels so original because you're not just entertaining people, you are making us aware of the things that influence/threaten our lives and health on a daily basis. While I know hearing from others does not always change the way our mind feels, you have only gotten better at what you do as time goes on. That being said, I can't imagine the toll this work must take on you, and I hope you prioritize yourself and your mental health even if it means you have to end the podcast. I wish you the best and hope you find what brings you clarity and peace, no matter what.

Alexandra Williams
>>130496337

I totally disagree, especially after your honesty about the challenges Swindled has gone through during the last year.

Anastasia Martin

I also would love a book club!! But on a more serious note, I've been a listener since the beginning. Your podcast is one of the first I supported via Patreon, and I have gotten my $$ worth and then some from doing so. I appreciate all the effort you and Deformr put into each episode. Truly, you've created a body of work to be extremely proud of. I routinely listen to older episodes in between seasons, that's how much I enjoy this podcast! It never gets old! Honestly, you have to do whatever is right for yourself regarding the future of the pod. I sincerely hope you can find a way to keep going, but I can absolutely appreciate how it must be an enormous amount of work and dedication to put this fantastic show together. Either way, if you continue on or decide to retire, I'll continue to keep Swindled in my listening rotation! Sending you good vibes!

Alicia

I'm really proud of you and all the hard work you have put into this show. You can absolutely tell how much time and soul you put into Swindled overall and I am thankful that you have this passion and you share with us all. I look forward to supporting you from here on out.

Laura

Dude, the reading the books aloud thing, yes!

KELLS BELLS

Yes yes yes!!! Bedtime stories!!!

horrorbusiness

Book club sounds awesome. I find tremendous value in the podcast, but if you ever need to stop for your mental health or just because you're sick of it - you don't owe it to anyone to keep going. It's a shame that one fucker ruined the listener stories thing. I was really looking forward to that. Take care, ACC

Wilma

The book club sounds great! Count me in!

Maureen
>>130651772

Truly would NEVER have guessed the psychic would use her platform to support unions; what a wonderful little tangent that was

MattyDubs

Book club is amazing. Give the people what they want!!! Thank you ACC.

Thrum

I love the idea of the book club bc swindled is so hypnotizing but I don’t want to miss an episode I haven’t heard and also if I have already heard it I can’t stop concentrating on what I know happens next so yes plz scumbags books (with sane commentary) would be 👌

Amanda

Book club would be the best

Marie Christopher
>>130496337

Your loss brah. Psychic Lady was totally entertaining and wise. I don't know about psychic, but ACC def got their 11.95 or whatever worth.

Vanessa L

A book club would be AMAZING 🧡

Yolanda

Great idea…do it!!

EM

I’m down for a book club and just upgraded specifically for that!

Ally Jakubicka

You're cutting through the bullshit. Let us know if we can help you.

Mary G.

Please do the book club! 🙏🏻

Amber Adams

🙋🏾‍♀️ for book club! YES PLEASE

Darrenlyn

Oh that would be amazing.

Ela
>>130582717

I think it comes with age (she seemed to be at least 60 or so), it's life experience she was sharing, and she appeared genuine and caring to me.

Jaimie Olson

YAAAS to the book club thing

Joshua Young

That psychic was honestly more down to earth than most non-special people. We all love the show and support you! I would absolutely pay more money for more content. I'd probably pay more for the same content but I do dislike Patreon though.

Kit

i’ve been saying for ages that Concerned Citizen needs to record a relaxation tape. just a lovely voice.

Doves

She’s not a genius or anything like the phychic stuff is totally bs but she’s SMART AF at life advice and shit, it’s not bullshit at all like union manufacturing is just about the only industry without required college that’s eating good right now. Please never stop swindled even if you pull a Pulsar/Lemino and post like 3 times a year I value your content more than almost anything else on the internet.

Angela

Late to the party, but not only is your voice soothing, it has helped ease my migraines. Yes to the book club, please!

Shaw3na

I know it's a little late but I would like those episodes of you reading ghost written trash by horrible people.
