Kathy Waters is the person you always wondered about: She created one of those days; specifically, World Romance Scam Prevention Day. (Try saying that three times fast.) But seriously, we have covered a lot of love-based bogosity and yet can’t wrap our heads around how it works. Now we know, and you can too if you listen to this week’s episode.  

Bottom feeders can be good eating, but they need to know their place (in our bellies). We fully digest the ways of slimy mudsuckers who woo would-be soul mates into sending money, as well as the possible link to addiction that may drive people to let them do their scumbaggery.
