Anyone else listen to Swindled? It's a pretty good podcast.This showed up in my podcast app one day about a year ago. I've listened to most of the free back catalog at this point.

The format is pretty interesting, they're usually two parts; the first part is maybe 1/3 the allotted time and the second part makes up the other 2/3 but the first part is always related to the second.

This one is about Lawn Chair Larry & the Balloon Boy. Lawn Chair Larry is a guy who inflated and attached a bunch of surplus military balloons to a lawn chair he got from Sears & Roebuck and ended up becoming airborne. The second part is about the Balloon Boy hoax in 2009.
