About this listen

The Opportunist tells true stories of regular people who turn sinister by embracing opportunity. How does an everyday person turn into a thief, a scammer or a cult leader? Perhaps the most dangerous person is the one who appears the most normal. Perhaps there is a dark potential lurking inside all of us that is just waiting for the right opportunity to emerge. The Opportunist is an original podcast hosted by Sarah James McLaughlin.© Copyright © 2002-2025 PodcastOne.com. All rights reserved. True Crime

One of my favourite podcasts. Thorough and captivating stories that explain how people use their opportunities to con people. Cult stories are my favourite. And the Robert Courtney story was shocking. Love the hosts voice and how they edit in interviews.
