20 Years, 20 Podcasts We Love: Sweet Bobby

Sweet Bobby is a true crime series unlike any other, centered on a catfishing scam. Host Alexi Mostrous uses snippets of voice notes, messages, and first-person interviews to recreate the nearly decade-long relationship Kirat Assai developed with a man she never met. To the listener, it might seem maddening what Assai was willing to believe, but as the series progresses, we come to understand her motivations and her humanity in the face of a person who completely fabricated an intricate life. We won’t reveal too much, but it’s an absolutely addicting listen from start to finish.
